The deepening division in the US could lead to a political paralysis that undermines its ability to deal with a world in turmoil, @jarlner writes in @politiken.

Det var ikke svært at forudsige.
❕Putin’s “peace plan” turned out to be an ultimatum
Reuters, citing sources and following other media, has published the list of conditions Putin allegedly presented to Trump during talks on ending the war in Ukraine. In reality, it’s not peace — it’s Ukraine’s capitulation:
▪️Withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from Donbas in exchange for freezing the front in the south. In return, Moscow is only ready to give back parts of Sumy and Kharkiv regions.
▪️Recognition of Crimea as Russian.
▪️Ban on joining NATO.
▪️Partial lifting of sanctions.
▪️Official status for the Russian language and the church.
There will be no ceasefire until a “deal” is signed — the fighting will continue. Essentially, Putin is demanding the legalization of occupied Ukrainian territories and embedding pro-Russian control inside the country. It looks more like a political trap than a genuine peace plan.

Putin og Trumps møde kan føre til en regulær ydmygelse af Europa - den er sådan set allerede begyndt.

💶 La Commission européenne a présenté un nouveau budget de près de 2 000 milliards d'euros pour la période 2028-2034 - soit 700 milliards de plus que le budget en cours.
@jarlner comprend cette augmentation, nécessaire dans le contexte actuel 👇

🇪🇺 À contre-courant des commentateurs précédents, @jarlner trouve tout à fait compréhensible que la Commission européenne augmente son budget prévisionnel, compte tenu des crises qui secouent le monde👇

Vi lever i rovdyrenes tid: Donald Trumps ovale kontor minder om et romersk cirkus, hvor tilrejsende gladiatorer for rullende tv-kameraer kæmper mod rovdyret Trump & co. Nogle bliver spist.

Denne udenrigsminister - Indiens - er en af verdens vigtigste, så stolt af dette interview i @politiken .
Han konstaterer bl.a., at verden lige nu er rodet. At FN i stigende grad er irrelevant. Og at jagten på en ny balance er gået ind.

Today's world is threatened by not one existential crisis as in the 20th century, but three existential crises: Nuclear war, climate change and loss of AI control.
