General Keith Kellogg (2023) argued that using Ukrainians to fight Russia is “the acme of professionalism” as it “takes a strategic adversary off the table” without “using any US troops". This enables the US to focus its resources on China as its primary adversary. *** Yet, to argue that the US hegemonic strategy entails using proxies to weaken strategic rivals is today considered "pro-Russian propaganda". The only acceptable narrative is that the strategic objective of the US and NATO is to defend human freedoms around the world.

101 people. One shared ambition: changing how nuclear energy is produced. Building a new generation of nuclear reactors takes more than an ambitious idea. It takes engineers, scientists, technicians and specialists working across disciplines to turn that idea into working technology. Civilisation runs on energy. Every great leap in human history began with more of it, and the future demands far more than the world can produce today. At Copenhagen Atomics, we're developing thorium molten salt reactors designed to make far more efficient use of nuclear fuel. Thorium holds enormous untapped energy potential, and our ambition is to harness it through reactor technology that can be manufactured and deployed at scale. Physics defines what is possible. Engineering makes it real. Reaching 100 employees is a vital milestone for us. It reflects how far we’ve come and the industrial capabilities we are scaling to bring thorium molten salt reactors to market. Energy is more than electricity; it is independence, sovereignty, and the foundation of human progress. To everyone who has helped build Copenhagen Atomics into what it is today: thank you. And to the team of 100 making the next chapter possible: we don't just build power, we build possibility. Energy = Prosperity.

Europe shows up to peace talks it wasn't invited to — and brings practically the entire diplomatic establishment along for the ride. The US is mediating talks between Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi — but the EU and NATO apparently don't know how to take no for an answer. Russia has learned its lesson from past negotiations and won't let Europe back in to derail another peace deal.

Democrats winning big and then immediately showing everyone that they’re still spineless losers who fail on purpose
BREAKING: Thomas Massie’s resolution to impeach Pete Hegseth fails in the House 211-204, after 11 Democrats failed to show up for the vote. If those 11 Democrats had showed up, Hegseth would have been impeached 215-211.

Yes it’s true … British tax payers are going to be forced to bail out the National grid. Just so you know the ‘National Grid’ isn’t owned by us. Er no…. It’s a privately owned company with international shareholders, with almost £49 BILLION of debt, forecast to reach £60–70 BILLION by 2031. The massive costs of upgrading the grid including financing costs and shareholder returns (obvs) , is paid through increasing OUR energy bills. Much of this investment is because of the Government’s Net Zero targets. And if it gets into serious financial trouble, the law even allows government financial support (paid for by taxpayers) It’s a bloody brilliant private investment where the investors never lose. And ordinary people always pay. Now watch what they do with nature.

Canada’s new sovereign wealth fund will be led by former IOF soldier
Replying to @anthonyfenton
Carney's press release, and her more recent boss, CEO Nir Bar Dea, referred to her as a "proud Canadian." Born and raised in Israel, it's unclear if she ever resided in Canada. Like her father, Bar Dea is an Israeli Defence Forces veteran. centraloregondaily.com/news/…

An IDF statement issued yesterday stated a 14 year old boy was shot dead in the West Bank on Monday, because he planned to throw stones at them. Not threw stones, PLANNED, to throw stones. This is Zionism.

德国拥有全球排名第二的官方黄金储备,总量高达3300多吨。但在冷战时期,德国人为了防止苏联坦克一天之内推平西德抢走国库,把全国家底里将近一半的黄金(约1500吨)全运到了大西洋彼岸,锁进了美国纽约美联储银行地下25米深的花岗岩金库里。 可从1950年代存进去之后的半个多世纪里,美国人只给德国央行发过一张纸质的黄金存折账单,从来没允许德国官员真正走进金库把自家的金砖一块块点数过秤; 到了2012年,德国议会和民间突然炸了锅,议员们公开质疑纽约联储金库里的德国黄金早就被华尔街拿去租借套现甚至偷偷熔掉了,强烈要求派审计官去纽约开库验货,结果美联储以安全保密规章为由,只让德国官员在金库铁门外隔着栅栏看了看外间样品,拒绝让他们进内库清点。 被逼急了的德国央行在2013年干脆拍板启动了二战后最大规模的黄金搬家行动:不跟你查账了,我直接把金子拉回自己家。 德国人动用绝密装甲车队、特种货运包机和军警押运,在四年时间里蚂蚁搬家一样从纽约和巴黎硬生生运回了整整674吨纯金金砖(其中从纽约运回300吨),运到法兰克福机场后第一件事就是用X光机挨个切开抽检成色,确认美国人没往里面掺钨块才锁进自家金库。

They blocked it because 11 Democrats didn't show up for the vote. Remind me again, Kathy: what's the job of the Democratic Whip?
Republicans just blocked the House from impeaching Pete Hegseth. They are protecting an unqualified, incompetent man over our servicemembers. What a disgrace.

OOPS, SORRY, WASHINGTON POST This is funny – I made an interesting discovery while trawling through US tax records looking for something else. I found the cash backer of the Hong Kong Democracy Council. What is that? The Washington Post says it is a group that "aims to promote Hong Kong’s democratic ambitions”. No it isn't! It’s a US initiative to disrupt the government of China! Sadly for me, other sources agree with the Washington Post. NPR says it is “a lobbyist group that raises issues like the plight of the city's political prisoners etc” Wikipedia tells the world it is “a non-governmental organization advocating for Hong Kong's autonomy”. It is an “advocacy organization,” says Voice of America. NO! I have always been QUITE SURE that it is a US initiative to disrupt the government of China. Anyway, I found the tax papers of its funding group Human Rights Foundation Inc, and guess what? They list it as, quote: “CCP Disruption Initiative”. Case closed. Sorry, Washington Post.
