Hi All, Just released my latest free weekend update. The Battle of Pokrovsk (which we were first told in July 2024 was doomed) might finally be ending. The Russians have slaughtered masses to possibly take it, Ukraine is right not to do the same to hold it. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
Brilliant, Belgium. You also distinguish yourself by contributing almost nothing as measured by GDP to Ukraine. For crying out loud, Romania contributes a higher percentage of their GDP! #eu #ukraine www.reuters.com/graphics/UKR...
If you look at earlier US sanctions (Biden administration) the Trump gutting of sanctions enforcement in the US, and the ongoing trade war/negotiations with China and India, you will have a better idea of the reality of what Trump is doing.
I really wish the public Danish Radio (Danmarks Radio) would stop breathlessly reporting on every random Trump statement as proof of "turning against Putin". Try reading people like O'Brien before you publish. #dkpol
Maybe you could point FE to this and ask them to do likewise, @danishmfa.bsky.social ? #dkpol
📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.
Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.
A Russian woman who is not afraid to speak the truth says:
“Of course, our great strategist Putin has many “achievements,” but the most outstanding ones, in my opinion, are the following.
He replaced truth and reality with wild propaganda.
"It appears that Donald Trump not only has dementia set in, but he's copying tactics of Vladimir Putin. Sending troops into cities, thinking that that's some sort of proving ground for war.. is just, frankly, inane and I'm concerned for his health"

Enig i at der katastrofalt mangler kritisk journalistik. Lige præcis overskrifter har menige journalister nok stort set aldrig indflydelse på - de bliver maltrakteret af redaktører (i hvert fald på de medier jeg har hørt om praksis på, NYT, The Guardian, Washington Post)
“Ukraine is now using its own weapons to hit russia and no longer consult Washington regarding where it strikes.”

Will the DOJ attorneys who apparently made outrageously false statements be prosecuted?
A former Danish minister was just convicted of possessing CSAM. He would presumably have been in the exempt category under the proposed new rule...

Good summary of the erroneous assumptions behind Peter Hummelgaard's proposal on "chat control" (what a horrible term). He's basically saying "tech harder" to the tech companies telling him that encryption with a backdoor means no encryption #dkpol
Yes, our so-called "Minister of Justice" is utterly nuts. Thanks for the link, btw. I learned some things about the proposal I wasn't aware of
And you think measuring anything on the Nazi-infested rats nest that is ex-Twitter tells you anything valuable?
The time for the West to start arming democratic Ukraine to the teeth and imposing crippling sanctions on fascist Russia was... over three years ago.
Putin has been given time to switch his economy to a war footing.
Stopping him now will be much more costly - and risky.
Russians dropped a glide bomb on elderly people who were waiting in line for their pensions. More than 20 dead.
Please. Don’t look away and don’t be silent. This is all I could ask for
Danish ship yard is servicing 11 Russian LNG carriers.
Great reporting (in Danish) by @jakobbohr.bsky.social at @danwatch.dk
EB: "Hvorfor har du valgt at tage imod så stor en gave?"
Pernille Rosenkrantz-Theil: "Det er fordi, jeg har brug for kampagnelokaler. Og lokalerne er ret fede."
Har Socialdemokratiet virkelig ikke deres egne lokaler i København?
Yes!
Congrats, Samsam! I agree with your candid evaluation of the Danish spy services' conduct in this case: "I don't know what kind of monkeys they have had in charge. They really messed up and handled it insanely amateurishly" #dkpol

Freaky to hear US officials channel unadulterated Ru propaganda. Let's use the right words-- Ukraine and the Europeans are indeed stopping Trump from trying to force Ukrainian surrender while calling it "a deal".
And of course this is the company that Denmark has chosen to supply rocket launchers (after a highly suspect process where parliament was deceived). Good work, @troelslundp.venstre.dk #dkpol
Denmark does NOT have postal voting though. The confusion about Denmark may stem from the term "brevstemme", which literally means "voting by mail" and which is how you can vote prior to election day. But it involves going to a municipal office and filling out the ballot there. No postal mail.
Men vi støtter stadig Israel, @lars-loekke.bsky.social , ingen sanktioner, absolut ingen reaktion? Jeg skammer mig over at være dansk og medlem af EU, som bare ser til, når Israel begår krigsforbrydelse efter krigsforbrydelse #dkpol
Fuck it.
I’m releasing these.
The police seized all of my lasers during this operation. I have a court date in my future. #FreeLordLaser #FreeLadyLaser
I will tell the whole story later. But it was all worth it to release these images on this day.
“Good men must not obey the law too well.”
Here are the still images. Please share them widely.
Hva' så, Danmarks Radio, er "detour" egentlig ikke bare det, der hedder en "omvej" på dansk? Emma Klitnæs mener åbenbart, det er meget smartere med en "detour"

Your $5 can make all the difference (in whether a Mothership exec can afford a second jetski for the lake house)
