Tywin wasn't and has never been any kind of genius tactically or strategically. What he is is *completely unbound by social mores* in ways Westeros largely can't respond to. The reason no one else ever pulled a Red Wedding is that *you don't do that*, not that it's clever.

Both the Wikipedia pages for Miklós Horthy and János Kádár are remarkably apologetic.

There are no words to describe the economic failure that is Portugal. It is now almost as poor as Ukraine, a country literally at war. 50 years after a brutal dictatorship, you’d think an economic miracle would’ve followed like Poland and the Baltics. Total incompetence.

Co-chair of the Alternative for Germany party Tino Chrupalla called for the complete withdrawal of US troops from Germany. He said Berlin should revise its foreign policy and follow the example of Spain, which has limited the use of its bases by American forces. It was only a matter of time until the European far-right, touted by MAGA and funded by Russia, starts openly opposing the US, and this is only the beginning.

Russians are losing the Hungarian elections in their own turf at TikTok. When searching for content related to the upcoming event, most of it is pro-Tisza videos. Magyar's own channel is doing exceptionally well, too. Orbán is nowhere to be seen, and Russian AI-generated content is not being picked up by the algorithm. Orbán and Putin are losing.

Nightmare for boys

The US is threatening a potential UK‑EU rapprochement if it negatively affects relations with Washington. They don't want a closer UK‑EU relationship, as they desire to keep Europe divided. For years, we Europeans fought among friends… but that will no longer happen. 🇪🇺🇬🇧

The ethnic Hungarians in Romania will probably vote 80-90% for Fidesz in the upcoming election. But how is this possible if they voted overwhelmingly against the far-right last year? The truth is that they are a disciplined tribal voting bloc who vote how their party leaders say.
