Europe urgently needs drone interceptors. These would be available from Ukraine right now.

But our leaders need to swallow their pride and look up to Ukraine as a leader in this topic instead of looking down at them, needing our help!

Ukraine is the strongest and most advanced military power in Europe. They should be our no.1 choice of ally now. USA has gone fishing.

#Trump mocked #alliances & the #UN itself, outlining something of a Trump Doctrine that prioritizes individual nations’ #sovereignty & a #transactional approach that rewards only those nations that can do something for the #US — or him personally.

“During the campaign, they had a hat, the best-selling hat: ‘Trump was right about everything.’ And I don’t say that in a braggadocios way, but it’s true,” he said. “I’ve been right about everything.”

Putin, Xi, Jong-Un meeting in China

Could America’s global power crumble without its alliances? Paul Krugman, inspired by historian Phillips O’Brien, reveals how U.S. post-WWII strength—through NATO and global institutions—relied on trust and subtle influence, not force. But Trump-era policies threaten this delicate balance, risking a dangerous decline.

A very sobering read from Paul Krugman—and it’s not about economics, it’s about the war in Ukraine, and a whole bunch of other topics. It’s not a quick read, but I think it’s an important read.

Yes, the importance of #female #friendship has been too little noticed -- until now in #gorillas!

'"Scientifically, I don't know if I can talk about 'friendship'," explained lead researcher Victoire Martignac, a PhD researcher form the University of Zurich. "But we're showing here that these same sex relationships really matter."

Moving into different groups is key in shaping the animals' social structure. It's something that both males and females do - females will sometimes move several times throughout their lives.'

Making America Alone Again: History Offers Few Parallels for Washington’s Repudiation of Its Own Alliances – Foreign Affairs

Making America Alone Again

History Offers Few Parallels for Washington’s Repudiation of Its Own Alliances

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump, Kananaskis, Canada, June 2025 Suzanne Plunkett / Pool / Reuters

By Margaret MacMillan, July 21, 2025

MARGARET MACMILLAN is Professor Emeritus of International History at Oxford University and the author of War: How Conflict Shaped UsandThe War That Ended Peace: The Road to 1914. More by Margaret MacMillan

Henry Kissinger once compared himself to the lone cowboy who rode into town to sort out the bad guys. But the U.S. secretary of state, who also served as national security adviser, knew different when it came to dealing with major powers. His hero was the Austrian statesman Klemens von Metternich, who somehow brought together the unlikely combination of Austria, the United Kingdom, Prussia, Russia, and a number of even smaller allies and their incompatible leaders into the alliance that finally defeated Napoleon in 1815. As Kissinger understood, even lone rangers need friends.

It is an insight that appears to be lost on U.S. President Donald Trump. Since returning to office in January, Trump has called the United States’ closest allies cheaters and freeloaders. Japan and other Asian trading partners, he insists, are “very spoiled”; immediate North American neighbors stand accused of exporting drugs and criminals. He freely and publicly labels the leaders of some of the United States’ most important democratic partners as has-beens, weak, or dishonest, while heaping praise on autocrats he finds easier to deal with, such as Hungarian President Viktor Orban (“a very great leader”), Salvadoran strongman Nayib Bukele (“a great friend”), North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un (“a smart guy”), and—at least until very recently—Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom he has called “a genius” and “very savvy” in attacking Ukraine.In what would have been unthinkable in previous administrations, including Trump’s first, the United States in February even sided against its own democratic allies and with Russia and other authoritarian states, such as North Korea and Belarus, in voting against a UN resolution that condemned Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and upheld the latter’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Perhaps most baffling, at a time when Washington is trying to contain China and shore up U.S. defenses in the Indo-Pacific, the administration is preparing punitive tariffs on South Korea and Japan, the United States’ closest Asian allies, as well as on a sweeping list of European partners it is trying to keep away from Beijing. U.S. allies around the world are also rattled by the public musings of Trump and members of his cabinet that the so-called nuclear umbrella under which the American nuclear deterrent was a guarantee for their defense is no longer a sure thing. Such is now the level of doubt that in July, France and the United Kingdom announced a new agreement to begin providing extended nuclear deterrence in Europe for themselves, and allies such as South Korea, Poland, and even Japan have begun to contemplate acquiring their own nuclear weapons.

Mabus, after his attempted massacre at the conference:

"You've ruined what would have been the greatest step towards peace in decades.... We could have decimated the #Kazon leadership.... You don't know the Kazon; there's no dealing with them. Violence is all they understand.... You're naive, Captain. It's clear you have no understanding of the harsh realities of this part of space."

Sad views that mirror leadership in current geopolitics. 😬

So, at this point, Maje Culluh thinks #Seska is carrying his kid, but Seska thinks she impregnated herself with #Chakotay's DNA and is carrying his kid, but she's gonna later find out that's wrong and her baby is in fact Culluh's.

Seska was just running one game too many in this series. Does she even want to get back to the Alpha Quadrant?

"Everything the #Kazon have, they stole from the Trabe." Makes sense. A starship is not the kind of thing you can just slap together from raw materials.

Simple components like CPUs and flat screens require a whole functioning industrial pipeline of precision manufacturing, not to mention specialized education, research, and development to maintain and improve them. This is not the kind of thing the Mad Max Kazon society seems capable of.
