    The Italians snatched health from the jaws of death. Yes: 🇮🇹, ridiculed and pitied as a chaotic country, has defied Covid-19 and now has infection levels far lower than many "better-organised" countries. How gli italiani did it ➡️

    This is an important point. 🇧🇾 Astravets nuclear power plant (located very close to Vilnius) is not safe and could cause unfathomable damage not just to Belarus and Lithuania but other countries too.

    Any discussion on nuclear safety (and security) without seriously & comprehensively addressing the whole bunch of very acute safety & security problems surrounding in Belarus can hardly be deemed exhaustive

    As Attorney-General, Bill Barr wanted the US Government to buy Ericsson...the world has changed very rapidly.

    This isn't a criticism of your article, , which makes sense geo-economically and strategically. Rather it's an observation of how much competition with China has mainstreamed the embrace of industrial policy. From an AEI fellow! Hard to imagine even 5 yrs ago, no?

    By a stroke of luck, the West has two credible alternatives to Huawei: Ericsson and Nokia. But Western governments are doing nothing to back them up. That's bonkers. If we don't collectively support our companies we'll lose them (remember solar panels?).

    Thank you! Carabinieri assisting housebound elderly people during this Covid crisis (on top of their other work) is so fantastic.

    Replying to @elisabethbraw @_Carabinieri_ and 7 others
    Really worth listening! Truly highlights what our have been up since this pandemic started! Fighting crime, delivering food and pensions to elderly people, or simply sparing few moments to visit people who are alone during Christmas holidays! Thanks for being there!

    In the greyzone, we can say "enough is enough". But how to identify what enough is, and how to communicate it to adversaries? Listen to executive director, RAdm (ret) Mark Montgomery, on the next episode of On the Cusp. (Yes, finish the fight!)

    I still can't believe a suspected terrorist attack took place in a small Swedish town today. Eight people are injured as a result of it.

    A new (?) tactic in China: removing the sharing button on articles written by Western diplomats.

    Seems like someone doesn’t want my article to be shared 🤔

    Så borde det fungera i Sverige med.

    Som utlandsfödd Finländare har jag en personbeteckning (personnummer på Finlandssvenska). Denna nyttjades av Finlands försvarsmakt vid inskrivning där. Även om jag använde mitt svenska körkort som ID, då jag saknade Finländska identitetshandlingar.

    Brist i svenska mönstringssystemet: man kan bara mönstra om man har personnummer – och utlandssvenskar födda utomlands får inte lägre personnummer. Utlandssvenskar får alltså inte ens mönstra. Tråkigt för dem – och för Sverige. De är en resurs. CC

    Surely Mikhail Gorbachev should dominate the headlines as he turns 90 today. The debt we Europeans (indeed most of the world) owe him is incalculable -- and yet today we take his actions for granted. We shouldn't.

    "Wir hatten im Kampf gegen die Pandemie bislang 14.525 [Reserve-] Heranziehungen. 6.800 weitere Heranziehungen sind möglich. 11.300 Interessierte aus der Reserve stehen dafür zur Verfügung. Sie haben sich freiwillig gemeldet." Super Leistung 👏

    Fantastic work, !

    We would love to know what you thought of our White Rose in Real Time initiative! Did you learn anything new? Did it change the way you think about the White Rose? What else would you have liked to find out? Did it make you think about other resistance groups? (2/2)
