Yeah, he wouldn't dare join a direct war against Iran, invade Venezuela or impose massive (even if not as big as he said) tariffs on the world...

Rutte is Trump's most loyal ally and friend.
It's probably right that Trump is overstating his win, but frankly any form of yielding to Trump is infuriating. If there is a deal that covers "the entire Arctic region" the details will be important. Countries in that region include Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. One should not assume it's a win for the Nato countries with more Trump regime forces in the region after the US has threatened invasion or annexation of two of them.
The bisexual union
An average day in 2024, 54 people in the EU died in road accidents, per Eurostat.
Edit: ~~Somewhere around 40 people a day die in road accidents in the EU. (Eurostat seems to only have numbers with the actual number of dead for 2023 so far and that year I think it was something like 47 per day on average, but other sources show road deaths decreased somewhat in 2024~~.
Yeah, I mean I feel pretty confident trusting stuff like Graphene that's 1) open source, 2) popular 3) among techy people that 4) are obsessed about privacy and security
[me looking at the source code] Interesting... they used words here and a few numbers too. 🔍🤔
Yes, but will you? In reality it takes trust for most. Personally, I don't think I could tell a sophisticated back door [pervy emoji] from a hello world! script.
Oh, I agree fully about the focus on phasing out fossil fuels. My impression was that the article argued that it was a temporary method and therefore less valuable than other methods of capturing and storing carbon in terms of offsetting/a carbon credit system.

But what about the climate mitigation (e.g. preventing soil erosion) or potential ecological impact (e.g. habitat restoration). Is it really trivial to compare that to the climate use?
I don't claim to have comprehensive knowledge on any parts of the equation or how they stack up to each other, I'm just saying that if you have an economical policy that incentivices one measure over the other – which at the of the day is what we're talking about – it seems sensible to base it on the sum of the measures' value. If we, for instance, want to disincentivice afforestation that should not strictly be made on the basis of how much carbon it can offset compared to other options.
But maybe that is just my general scepticism towards the promises of future CCS technology talking.

There's no way Russia could just nibble a little on an EU/Nato country with a full response from Europe, regardless of whether the US backs it up. Whether Europe is in good shape to deal with that is a different story, but I'd say there's little room to do anything "small" under their own flag.
