Time’s up after 43 years in the Swedish foreign service. But no less amazed and puzzled by the world in general, and Europe in particular.

In « Leadership » Kissinger says Nixon gave abrupt orders that he expected not to be taken literally. Example from 1969: « Bomb Damascus airport ». Didn’t happen. Tragedy of Trump II is he made sure to only have advisors incapable and/or unwilling to restrain him.

Pakistán e India se odian, viven en guerra, tienen una carrera de arsenal nuclear. Sin embargo tienen la mejor ceremonia de apertura y cierre de frontera del mundo.

Admiral Yamamoto, seen here realizing he’d totally forgot to tell Trump he was going to attack Pearl Harbor.

It appears the Americans may need a bit more time before invading Greenland. 😎

(8/8) Stage 7. Sharing of French nuclear warheads with non-nuclear allies, with same level of FR control as is the case for the US now. Pending complex and costly adaptation (certification, training), possible in a distant future.

(1/8) [Thread] I'm often asked what could be the contours of a UK-FR-based "European deterrent". Here is a possible template in seven stages.

I thought he was ruler for life?

NEW from @nytimes: US intelligence analysts assess that Xi Jinping has a remarkable level of paranoia. This could help explain his persecution of China's top general, Zhang Youxia, and other purges. Some experts say Xi could be preparing to extend his rule for a fourth term.

@HugoBarklund @MansRAD @wisemanswisdoms @niklas_granholm Intressant nog var det den finska sidan som stack hål på ballongen genom att på 80-talet föreslå en alternativ målsättning: En kärnvapenfri zon i nordiskt område. Den skulle alltså omfatta en större zon där det faktiskt fanns kärnvapen.

@MagnusRobach @MansRAD @wisemanswisdoms @niklas_granholm Hela grundpremissen var fel. SU hade ingen demokratisk eller internationell kraft som hade tvingat ett "bortdragande" efter avtal, så som DK och NO. En äkta walk over från väst. Att initiativtagaren var Uhro Kekkonen med tätare residenturkontakter än Palme är ett indicium.
