@JamesGillespieX @WarMonitor3 Canada joined with significant restrictions. The UK wanted / wants more access than Canada (similar level of access as major EU countries) whilst demanding limited financial participation.

@timmyhl1 @WarMonitor3 Then why is Canada part of the initiative?

Who actually buys designer clothes/watches etc in an airport? Genuinely curious as to how these retailers make any money and who it is that is daft enough to shop there.

@globeandmail I’m not really sure that is true. They published a reasonably sound report a year or so ago

Russians using French eSIM cards now from #FreeMobile
An unlimited French SIM card allows Russians to use any blocked services.
The eSIM from the operator Free is already working in Russia, and the Free Max tariff for €30 can be quickly activated and registered online on the operator's website.
A foreign bank card will be required for payment.
Free Mobile is owned by the French telecommunications group Iliad SA. Founded by billionaire #XavierNiel, who remains the majority shareholder, Iliad operates Free as its primary brand in France, offering mobile and internet services.
Vive la France - NOT 🤮

@alemannoEU Self awareness is not an own goal. Saying to oneself “I’m a bit fat and need to change X, Y, Z, to loose weight sustainably” is not a problem. Uninvited critiques about one’s weight by a “friend”, though, is objectively rude.

The Draghi Report is starting to look like an own goal.
A US Under Secretary of State just cited it to humiliate Europe while prying open its markets.
He claimed that “America wants a strong Europe” but just not strong enough to regulate American platforms, price carbon, or set its own industrial terms.
A report designed to argue for European strategic autonomy is now Washington’s go-to citation for dismantling European regulatory capacity.
Europe commissioned a report on how to compete. It got a manual for its own dismantling.
Under Secretary of State Jacob S. Helberg@UnderSecE
The European Union began as a common market to provide scale for European companies, lower barriers, and unlock a continental economy. A coal and steel community, born from the rubble of war, built on the wisdom that shared markets create shared peace. But today, the coal is gone. The steel is gone. And in their place stands a Caligulan bureaucracy that has, regulation by regulation, arrogated more power away from sovereign European states — not liberating the European economy, but strangulating it. A commitment to decarbonize at any cost, that produces lethally high energy prices and hollows out European industry is not a green future — it is managed decline with a clean conscience. The EU AI Act and $25B in tech fines didn't punish America; they punished European workers. As the Draghi Report made clear: Europe needs deregulation, lower taxes, lower energy prices, and reindustrialization. Europe desperately needs these reforms not because Washington demands it. Because the evidence demands it. AMERICA WANTS A STRONG EUROPE! 🇺🇸 🇪🇺 state.gov/releases/under…

In other news, I've written a short book, a precis of sorts, on key lessons of French military strategy. Lots of Beaufre, Castex, and Yakovleff content. A dash of @Michel_Goya . Stay tuned.

@globeandmail Let them go. Cut off all equalization payments. Hard borders. All Federal civil servants and politicians must live in Canada. English official language. Sounds like heaven. Trying to placate French Quebec is what is destroying Canada (erasure of British history and culture).

@POLITICOEurope Pathetic. So America can have America first and buy American but no one else can. Other idea… the EU should impose measures on countries that prefer their own firms to European ones.

Washington will retaliate if Europe imposes measures that favor its own satellite companies over American ones, the head of the U.S.' communications regulator Brendan Carr told POLITICO.

@WarMonitor3 Why? They don’t support us in helping Ukraine, they threatened Canada with invasion, they threatened Denmark and Greenland with invasion, they mock the UK in public re chagos. Oh, and they put tarriffs on all of us, tell us to rearm, but to only buy American guns. Ffs

🚨IOC statement 1/3
Skeleton pilot Vladylsav Heraskevych not allowed to participate at Milano Cortina 2026 after refusing to adhere to the IOC athlete expression guidelines
Having been given one final opportunity, skeleton pilot Vladylsav Heraskevych from Ukraine will not be able to start his race at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games this morning. The decision followed his refusal to comply with the IOC’s Guidelines on Athlete Expression. It was taken by the jury of the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) based on the fact that the helmet he intended to wear was not compliant with the rules.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has therefore decided with regret to withdraw his accreditation for the Milano Cortina 2026 Games.
Despite multiple exchanges and in-person meetings between the IOC and Mr Heraskevych, the last one this morning with IOC President Kirsty Coventry, he did not consider any form of compromise.
The IOC was very keen for Mr Heraskevych to compete. This is why the IOC sat down with him to look for the most respectful way to address his desire to remember his fellow athletes who have lost their lives following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The essence of this case is not about the message, it is about where he wanted to express it.
