#Theeconomist about Meghan Markle on #Netflix:
»Ms Markle is not just smiling. She is on a mission. As she explains, she wishes to “share some little tips and tricks” for entertaining friends and elevating one’s life. Such as, perhaps: make sure to marry a member of the British royal family. That tends to help no end. Or: ensure you get Netflix to pay you a vast sum to show off an immense property, complete with a vegetable garden, bee hives and chickens to lay fresh eggs. That helps, too.«

@riley yeah...

I guess #TheEconomist has still too much revenue to pay for sponsorships...

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)I just think #TheEconomist is #discrediting itself by #platforming #MAGA #bullshit that even 5th graders can callout as #Kindergarten-esque #mobbing. It's pretty much absurd to do so without seriously interrogating whether the #Trump regime actually knows the shit it does or whether this is just a #dismantling operation by #AgentKrasnov to enshure #Putin gets what he wants. - After all, the whole #Ukraine - #Invasion timeline would've been perfect if Trump caused a #CivilWar in 2020 and thus upend any #resolve. Tho in the meantime it only resulted in the #EU coming closer together and #Europe finding resolve against #Russia, with both #NATO and EU becoming stronger than before... - Granted the #USA already lost it's credibility in 2012 when Putin invaded #Crimea and the #BudapestMemorandum was violated *#consequences-free* instead of #BootsOnTheGround by the #US, #UK and #France and the current support for #Kyiv is the absolute bare minimum to avoid the political suicide that are *flagged coffins returning home* since in #Europe - unlike the USA - going to war isn't guaranteed to get elected, but rather will tank ratings (as it should be)! Again: #REFORUSA is an act of self- and mutual defense at this point! #Sarcasm #EUpol #USpol

"Trump è un problema per i più importanti leader dell'estrema destra europea", titola #TheEconomist. "Le sue buffonate stanno creando grattacapi a #GiorgiaMeloni e #MarineLePen".

L'America sta commettendo molti errori nelle sue relazioni internazionali; dal periodo successivo alla seconda guerra mondiale in poi, mai un'amministrazione ha preso delle decisioni così audaci come quelle dell'amministrazione Trump che portano a un caos totale, pericoloso e pernicioso, il fulcro della sua... 1/2

#ArkadyOstrovsky on #Putin’s #War Strategy: What Does #Victory Mean?

Arkady #Ostrovsky, #Russia and Eastern #Europe Editor at The #Economist, unpacks the true purpose behind Putin’s war in Ukraine. Despite immense human and economic losses, Putin is playing a long game—using negotiations as a tool to outlast Western support and achieve a so-called “#DefinitiveResolution.” His ambition? To neutralize #Ukraine, rewrite the post-1945 order, and restore Russia’s #superpower status.
