The Proletarsk oil storage facility near Rostov-on-Don has been burning for 2 days now, and multiple videos confirm, more oil tanks are burning now than after the first attack.

Ukraine has now suffered 901 days of war.
I am fully convinced, this war would have ended much sooner, had the allies really wanted it to end.
Some time back I published this analysis on the true motives of the western countries. Motives that have prolonged the Ukraine war, and made western leaders rally under the motto “For as long as it takes”.

First round of French elections:
Marine Le Pen's party:
33.2 percent
Macron's party:
21 percent
That is 1 out of every 3 French voters, voting for Putin's favorite, who wants France to leave NATO, and keep Ukraine out of the EU.
Mind blowing!

Nigel Farage, Trump, and Putin all represent the idea, that the best person to represent the interests of ordinary people, is a rich, self-absorbed manbaby, who is in it for the grift.
It is a bad idea.

No place to hide!
The US lifts restrictions on the use of American weapons against Russia. What was previously presented as a rule related only to attacks on the Kharkiv region, is now rephrased to allow Ukraine to attack any location inside Russia which is used for an attack on Ukraine.
This can turn out to be extremely costly for the Russian forces, as Russia has bases in many locations, and not enough air defence systems to protect them.

National politicians like to tell voters when it is the EU's fault. But this time, something awesome is happening thanks to the EU:
A newly adopted EU law requires all member states to restore 20 percent of land and sea nature to good conditions by 2030.
In Denmark for instance, this means we will FINALLY get rid of some of our — and I hope you are sitting down for this one — 61 percent farm land.
Not 6.1. Sixtyone!
And our minister for the environment @npub1vqj…gysz is all fort it. 💚

The average of all polls on the day before Trump's conviction had Trump in the lead by 1.2 percentage points.
Then he was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records, and it has been all over the news for more than two weeks.
The result? Trump is in the lead by 1.1 percentage points.
Something is seriously wrong in the US.

The way this kill chain concept was explained, repairing a tank (like Poland does), does not make you part of the war. Providing target information does — something I have seen reports that the US and likely also the UK is doing.
I cannot help but wonder, if this is the real reason, Olaf Scholz does not want to provide Taurus missiles, because Germany would then have to support the use of the Taurus to an extent, that Germany would legally be considered part of the war.

In this weeks TV show about the Ukraine war, military experts had 2 important points:
1. By limiting Ukraine’s ability to attack deep inside Russia, Biden is preventing Ukraine from making a strategic difference on the battlefield — e.g. dealing severe blows to Russian airforce capabilities.
2. Whether countries are part of the war, depends on whether they are part of the kill chain.
My interpretation:

Russian infiltration in Denmark?
Danish media BT, got curious as to why former government party Venstre withdrew a candidacy for EP candidate Alexandra Sasha very late in the election.
According to BT, her real name is Alexandra Sasha Bessmertnaia, and digging into her past they found an expensive lifestyle and surprisingly many meetings with a pro-Russian organisation, arranged by an FSB agent.
No one in Venstre wants to talk to the press about the incident.

The EU parliament elections have turned Denmark upside down.
All my life, Danish politics has been dominated by two parties: The Social Democrats which is centrist and Venstre which is financially more liberal but also centrist.
Now, The Social Democrats loses 6 percent of the vote and only barely keeps 3 seats, and Venstre is halved from 4 down to 2 seats.
Most impressingly, the climate focused, socialist party SF becomes the biggest party and gains a third seat.
This development…

Many Brits complain about the UK election system on Mastodon. If you have seen it and wondered why, this is it:
The UK has 650 election areas. In each area the candidate with most votes gets a seat in parliament. The serious flaw with this system is, everyone who votes for smaller parties do not get fewer seats — they get no seats.
For example, if 10 percent of voters vote for a party A, but either party B or party C gets more votes in each district, then party A wins nowhere and gets 0 seats.

Not a day goes by without Russia threatening nuclear war. In this recent episode on Russian state tv, Russian parliament member Andrei Gurulev fantasizes about obliterating The Netherlands.
What he forgets to mention is, the west has nuclear weapons pointed at Moscow too — meaning he himself and everyone around him would die as the result of such an attack.

that is a good suggestion, but it is not very convenient for two reasons:

2. It would require me to add a politics hashtag manually every time I post which is not convenient. Of course this point could be solved if my app could do this automatically.

Using US weapons, Israel bombs a UN school in Gaza killing 40.
Their excuse? 9 of them were terrorists.
Imagine if your local police got a tip about 9 criminals at you local school, and they decided to solve the problem by bombing the school killing 40 people. Would any sane person accept that?
This is a clear violation of the principle of proportionality and therefore a violation of international law.

When you meet someone in real life who is on X, who does not understand the value of switching to Mastodon, I recommend telling them that unlike X…
1. Mastodon is both free and ad free for all users
2. Everyone gets the same set of features, so editing typos or writing longer posts is not reserved for the rich kids.
3. There is no algorithm, so everyone's content spreads if we the users decide it is great content.

it relates to the country of origin. So even a missile provided by an EU country is under restrictions, if it is manufactured in the US.
The reason the UK can say they will not restrict their weapons is because, systems like their Storm Shadow missiles are their own making.
The US restrictions are a big problem, because the US is the biggest weapons manufacturer in NATO.

After yesterday's bombing of a large shopping center in Kharkiv, this is what we know:
Russia is believed to have been using two glide bombs for the attack, in which at least 11 people were killed, 16 more are missing, and 39 were injured.
The attack was carried out during opening hours on a Saturday, where most civilians are present.
The attack could likely have been prevented, had the US adminstation given Ukraine permission to shoot down enemy bomber aircraft near the border to Ukraine.

That is 5628 times, civilians have heard a buzzing moped engine in the sky, and seen the Shahed-136 strike a civilian home, a power plant, or a school with its 50 kilogram warhead.
For comparison, Hitler struck London with 2857 V1 and V2 rockets — half as many.
I simply do not know what to tell future generations when they ask, why we did not stop the Russian terror.

I certainly have had enough of some people claiming that we must cower to Putin, because he has nuclear weapons. And I am glad to see, I am not alone.
In a debate show on Danish national tv, foreign editor of Danish newspaper Weekendavisen, Anna Libak replied to yet another “But Putin’s has nuclear weapons!” by saying, “If Hitler had nuclear weapons, would we have given him France?”
Bingo! Of course we would not. And neither should Putin have Ukraine.

7 kilometers in 7 days — that’s the distance you walk in an hour, only it took a week for the Russians to get that far into Kharkiv Oblast.
From analysis I have read this week, Russia has lost more than 7,000 soldiers to take strips of forrest, and small settlements.
The invaders have now reached the first of two Ukrainian defensive lines which run east to west, and with the relatively few soldiers and limited armored resources they have committed, they will likely not get much further.

Bad news for Trump:
Michael Cohen's testimony went so well, the prosecution has told judge Merchan, he will be the last witness.
Originally, they had planned for more witnesses to be called, likely as a backup plan if the Cohen cross examination did not go well.
But now Trump's time is running out. No more screaming in front of the press. No more social media whining. Closing arguments are coming and then sentencing.

2024-05-14 18:53:53

Mike Johnson drags his own speakership through the mud by appearing at Trump's trial, substituting for Trump by attacking the judge’s daughter — something Trump has been barred from doing.
Instead of admitting, the Republicans have nominated a criminal, he now threatens to take action against people in the legal system.
When Johnson goes down with the sinking ship, no one should feel any pity. Lawmakers who do not believe in law and order, have no place in government.

Brilliant proposal by German politicians: Let us place air defence systems inside NATO, and have these systems save civilian lives by shooting down missiles over western Ukraine.
This is pretty clever because
1. Russia cannot bomb these systems as that would be an act of war against the entire NATO alliance.
2. The systems cannot trigger a war with Russia themselves, as they are not attacking Russia.
Do it!

"Pay with cash" — those words were said by Trump, recorded by Michael Cohen, and played back in front of the jury in the #hushmoney trial. And from the recorded conversation it was clear, this was Trump directing Cohen to pay Karen McDougal with cash, so it would be untraceable.

"Defending Ukraine, our hero Denis Zeleny died during the fighting. There are no words to express all the pain of losing this person. A real warrior, defender and friend. Forever in the ranks."

Sometimes I wish just one Republican state would leave the US to found it's own country.
Just one, which could try out all the book burning, closed borders, fewer women's rights, religios politics, non-scientific medicine — so everyone could really see, what that leads to.
For years, politicians in Europe blamed everything on the EU, but I can assure you, when Britain left our union and became a country with considerable challenges, it crushed the EU blame game in many countries.

Tonight was a very special night for Denmark in 1945. The nazis had occupied Denmark for five years, and after dinner, people tuned in to the Danish broadcast from the BBC, where Johannes G. Sørensen read the following:
“In this moment, Montgomery has informed us, the German troops in Holland, Northwest Germany, AND in Denmark have surrendered. This is London… we repeat: In this moment, Montgomery…”
Five years in darkness had ended. To everyone in Ukraine, know this:

This map shows where Russia is currently attacking GPS signals in the EU.
According to this brilliantly researched article from Peter Møller, Russia has a classified weapons system called Tobol, which is jamming GPS satellites from a base in Kaliningrad.
By using photos and articles from before the war, he has managed to piece together a surprisingly clear picture of what the Russians are doing.
(In Danish but translating it is absolutely worth it.)

The parliament of Denmark today signed a law which ads USD 14 billion to the Danish defence budget, in order to finance a an armored brigade with 6000 soldiers, tanks and armored vehicles. As part of the deal, young women will now be force conscripted into the military.

Republican Bill Barr tells CNN, that when he was Attorney General, Trump would frequently inform him, he wanted specific US citizens killed, but according to Barr, it is not a problem, because the government did not carry out the order.

Tucker Carlson normalizes Putin by interviewing him in Moscow.
Marjorie Taylor Greene says Putin "protects Christians".
And Trump says, he has a "great relationship" with Putin.
When Denmark was occupied by the Nazis, opportunists tried to normalize them too. After the war, 13,000 collaborators were sentenced, and ironically, many were placed in the Frøslev prison, built by the Nazis.
46 were executed.
I wonder what will happen, when everything falls apart for the collaborators of our time.

Reality: During the Pandemic when Trump was president, Michigan unemployment rose, and in 2020 when Biden became president, the unemployment rate in Michigan was 10 percent. But it improved, and the latest data show an unemployment rate between 3.6 and 4.3 percent.

If you reply to a post to add someone’s handle to it, to have that person see the post, here is a better way:
Say the post is from user A, and you hit reply. You then get a reply which contains @ A. Many then just add the name of the person they want to see the post, replying with @ A @ B. But that means A is notified, that you have written something for them, which is really not ideal.
So instead, delete the @ A, then write @ B, and hit reply. B gets notified, A is not bothered.
