Atlanticists mobilise to salvage NATO as Russia toughens its stance - Indian Punchline -- ie EU madness in sycophancy is planned response to Trump

> However, petrified that Trump may turn his back on the war, there is a school of thought in Europe that they could offer something interesting to incentivise him other than the carrot of Ukraine’s vast stores of critical minerals that Americans lack — eg., more trading incentives for America; greater spending on NATO; more pressure on Iran; “peacekeeping boots on the ground” inside Ukraine; help in Trump’s upcoming economic skirmishes with China and so on.
and US volunteering their sycophancy under similar lines: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atlanticist/how-europe-can-save-nato/
After reaching 50% share in July, it is up to over 53% in October. https://english.www.gov.cn/archive/statistics/202411/21/content_WS673f370ec6d0868f4e8ed4b2.html
EVs make better cars. Faster and quieter, cheaper operation costs, and profit/emergency potential from V2G (or just to home), and future robotaxi. Charging infrastructure expands with success/penetration. Even in US and Europe, EV models that are cheaper than their ICE equivalents before rebates are already announced/on the market.
IEA projections are always behind. Natural gas use in Europe and China is also down. and will continue its pace.
Unless Graham wants the west to move to EVs (hint: he does not) then he just wants more weapons and oil sales to Europe. There is no chance of Ukraine taking over regions that have already joined Russia to escape ultra-nationalist apartheid ethnostate. US can get the Ukrainian side resources for cheap, with peace. It will never invest in NovoRussia taken back by Ukraine (as if that could happen) due to inherent instability.
The profits from mining investments are nowhere close to the profits from weapon sales, and the latter is inherently in the bribery institutions.
The market only cares if the oligarch I am trading with and me are happy with the transaction. Commons is a tragedy for enjoying the lamentations and tears of the commies.

Maybe this is what Trump’s wall is for.
There is a video of thin Mexican worker slipping between the bars (wall had to be see through for some reason) from one side of the border to the other. Obviously wall is meant to keep fat Americans trapped inside America.
This is a peaceful path to global conquest. It is warmongering posture that promotes this workaround, and enslaving people to domestic tech oligarchy is an inherently negative consequence of warmongering. A world at war means AI/tech helping war and disinformation instead of making work/life more productive.
No one can know what happened in Bucha. We all should know that whatever Ukrainians say is not motivated by truth.
as is blowing up Russian oil refineries. Stop pretending to care about Ukrainians while promoting a war that sacrifices them all for $1 in damage to Russia.
The big 3 automakers getting kicked out of the oligarch club, is a recipe to destroy NA economy for the benefit of Tesla. Canada looking to China as path to survive is path to having a war on Canada. Canada just sitting there and dying isn't good for US either, but hopefully our oligarchs are saved by buying up cheap resources.
Blame for scuttling agreement is entirely on the west. The promise of that peace did result in Russian withdrawal from Kiev area. The accusations of Bucha can be black flag theater. Ukrainian propaganda is needed for funding its suicide, and they have been caught lying in the past.
NATO and the EU will just let Ukraine fall, won’t it?
That was always plan from the start. Sell enough weapons and oil to subjugate EU, without triggering annihilation/attack on EU, for as long as possible. To the last Ukrainian is the precise accurate strategy, as it has always been. There are Russians profiting too, to put up with this theater.
Russian military officials are currently selecting targets across Ukraine – including military facilities, industrial sites, and command centers in Kyiv.
That is escalation avoidance compared to nuclear strike on US bases in UK, or air carrier fleet off Israel. I doubt it ends the war, though 50/50 if Zelensky taken out if new ruler must be US puppet or Ukrainian survivalist.
Peace involves direct negotiations with Ukraine, and not US/NATO. China can help Ukraine decide too. In that sense, destroying Ukraine harder might be more effective than deterring NATO. Zelensky bribes are fairly cheap influence though.
It's good news that this is the result of new sanctions instead of insider trading over a nuclear strike decision.
An analogy to humans from chapter 11, is a transfer of their soul to new owners, where the potential new owners were already predetermined for such a condition. The reason is usually extreme sickness, but by transferring shares to cancel debts, future sustainability becomes possible. This process is a punishment over the management/sentience/brain of the body which becomes controlled by agents it was originally intended to be subordinate to management discretion. These agents usually trigger the takeover, and chapter 11 is a delay tactic to negotiate with them.
This does not seem comparable to any Jesus mythology.
This would seem like insider trading related to nuclear retaliation decision (whether weak or strong) that has been made. I'm unaware of any economic news from Russia.
Whose is stronger?
For missiles there is a cost and production rate advantage to resistance. Hypersonics is a tech advantage.
Isn’t it Russia that has recently amended its policy on the use of nuclear weapons to try to keep Ukraine’s arms tied behind their back?
They think its to prevent US escalation, but sure, theater script is they will win in Ukraine eventually.
The organizational mission of the DNC is to fundraise. Since Obama especially, and earlier, zionist sources of fundraising have dominated. Winning is secondary to both fundraising and Israel first rule over America. The hopey/changey stuff wins. The fear of Trump is good at scamming fundraising, and helping make sure he was GOP candidate made sense before Oct 7th, but after it was purely Netanyahu's decision of who would win. Media and fundraising followed Netanyahu, and being as genocidal, and disrespectful to peace/ceasefires as possible, ensured disgust with human Americans that tend to support DNC. DNC, can choose to lose even as they fundraise pretending otherwise. Politics is always a giant slushfund of middle people happy to get paid.
The opposition party in America needs to oppose Israel first rule over America. It is a mistake to trust the DNC to assume that role.
Yes. Netanyahu has already succeeded though. He won't lose favour by doing the deal slightly early. There is also a theory that Hezbollah inflicted more pain than Israel hoped.
Yes. Europe while supporting US war, has also been decreasing its fossil fuel use significantly this year. Even as total energy demand has increased. Wind and solar have grown substantially in Europe, and they are in fact leading global adopters.
Another post today, has US lining them up for a war on China, though. Wind is an EU industry. Solar is not.
the 10 hottest yearly average temperatures have occurred in the past decade.
better wording of this would be the 10 hottest years recorded are the last 10. Soon to be 11.
I'm not sure that heat clusters over 65 years means the clusters will stay the same in the future. Going back 65 years, obfuscates the global warming acceleration that occurred since 1980, and perhaps 1998 or 2010 or 2015. At any rate, clusters would develop from a completely random process.
While much of the world has long recognized that the U.S. has been fighting a proxy war against Russia by arming Ukraine to the teeth, proof of a new twist in that story emerged recently from no other a source than the savagely pro-business Wall Street Journal.
Ukraine was always a primarily a war on subjugating Europe. Energy focused as usual.
(own report) – Germany’s leading foreign policy journal proposes comprehensive rearmament of Germany and the rest of Europe in favor of a vigorous militarization of the Asia-Pacific region. According to the magazine “Internationale Politik,” published by the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP...
Trump will be a pivot point on this "US subjugation wet dream" ambition. EU spine at stake.

Democrats lost because: It's the Wars, Stupid
Democrats are missing the way that their shift into a more war-happy party is alienating them from voters and fueling the perception that they have no intention of addressing people’s needs.
In pseudo-liberal warmongering language: It’s Time to End the War in Ukraine
Ukraine’s military position is worsening, and there are signs of fatigue on the home front. A tit-for-tat escalation between Washington and Moscow would be disastrous for Ukrainians and for us all.
While using language meant to confirm audience bias that Russia provoked this war, still a strong case for West and Ukraine to end it.
While historian Alfred McCoy made an early and accurate call on the erosion of the US empire, his current readings are a mixed bag.
Historian, fairly comprehensive review, despite western propaganda views on Russia's economy.
The main explanation for continuous underforcasts by IEA, is that their rolodex includes only oil companies, and that's who they ask.
There are inevitably several jokes going around in the circles that I frequent that “MAGA” should instead be “MIGA” as the recent US national election only allowed one to choose between two parties that tried to excel in expressing their love for the Jewish state, with the winner Donald Trump’s Repu...
Not addressed is that DNC is an Israel First supremacist fundraising organization who plays opposition party in US politics. Just because they take up secondary causes of helping more Americans, doesn't mean they will get in the way of the Israel first rule over the US.
DNC elections/reforms will happen next, and odds are more of the same, but they can't have volunteers, turnout, or out demonize republicans to get the sweet zionist funding, and media domination, without turning against Israel, and media supporting the genocidal maximalists.
