I can’t believe Kurtz wrote about Denmark and not a word about Legos. Too touristy?

Just perfect for the 400 lb guy living in his mom’s basement who wants to commit mass murder but can’t be bothered to get off his couch to procure the weapons…

When you walk off the helipad the grass is wet and soggy.

They are! At least for modern non-nuclear powered models. Israel uses German-built Dolphin class diesel electric submarines for its nuclear cruise missile fleet.

Cripes. Still have to pinch myself to remember I’m living in a time and place where that shop name isn’t satire.

“It Doesn’t Have to be Like This”
@inversion I believe with a title like that, we need the 2024 reminder…

“Splendid rail and transit system.” Robust investment in renewable energy and EV infrastructure. And so on.
My wife and I spent a month earlier this year in England, The Netherlands, France, and Ireland, and we found ourselves looking around and saying, over and over, “We could have this.”

JFC. What a buffoon and an absolute embarrassment. But basically admitting his absurd claims that the 2020 election was rigged was a grotesque lie on his part

Sounds like something they’ll make sure never gets read by anyone.

“Q: Are you building a helipad? TRUMP: Yeah. For 50 years we’ve been landing helicopters on grass. The grass is wet, soggy.”
It’s just like his frigging Merd-a-Lago patio and ballroom. Whining about his damn feeties getting wet on grass again. Those complaints do make clear the completely fictional nature of his golf tales, though, demonstrating that he never touches grass and just rides around on his fat ass ordering lackeys to take a club and hit “his” ball where he tells them to.
His infantile laments over his precious wet feetes and his precious eternally hurt feefees literally make me gag every time they appear. So disgusting. The most trivial creature on the planet. … I’m amazed that he’s so non-self-aware that he never seems embarrassed by this babyish bullshit.

The postwar international order (the UN, NATO, the EU) was based on the interconnected concepts of democracy, sovereignty (you can’t have democratic self-government if you cannot protect the borders within which elected representation occurs), alliances, and peace. What often goes unnoticed is that small nations cannot protect themselves… that’s what the alliances are for. Russia invaded Ukraine when it broke its previous security commitment and after it insisted Ukraine not be admitted to the NATO alliance. When Russia sets its sights on NATO, it will be the tiny, neighbouring Baltic states (Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia) that are too small to defend themselves without the protection of NATO. Maybe Finland and Sweden. Poland is better able to defend itself, but Putin could be that dumb.
The sovereignty aspect doesn’t get mentioned enough.
