The Nippon Steel-US Steel takeover saga was about a lot more than pre-election vote pandering. Why, you could say it is a fight for the future of the whole damn industry.

Or it could be that people who understand how the world works, and the importance of Europe, and know history, are determined to stop a war in progress rather than further gear up for a hypothetical one.

There’s an increasing shrillness in the Ukraine debate, especially from the hawk quarter. I think much of it stems from the declining credibility of the notion that we can do everything, without tradeoffs. It’s becoming more apparent that just isn’t a serious position.

A couple of months after Houthi threat to sever Red Sea data cables near Yemen, at least three submarine cables have been cut, maybe four. Soft underbelly of global communications.

@AdamCSharp Just want to step in for second--love your work--'joder, [es] la hostia' can express incredulity, admiration, dismay, disbelief, absolute adoration, and so on. It's rather flexible.

@mattyglesias Where the hell are you going? Granted, I've only lived in Europe for twenty years and rented houses in half a dozen countries and never, ever had this problem. #icemasochist

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris wage war on American #energy . They have America on the precipice of an energy crisis due to failed, radical policies that make us reliant on adversaries for energy. American greatness requires American energy independence.

@emilyctamkin I say this with the greatest good spirit: I pity da fool. (Or should I parenthesize that? Is that a verb? Who knows? Let's just leave it in the text.) Mazel.

@alessionaval as an absolute layman, I think the point you made to me and in your comments bears boring out further: How much more cost-effective is it to use naval guns vice missiles to deal with incoming horseshit?

@frank_hodgkins just in this vein, some illiterate asshole tried to mess with 72-year old Buzz Aldrin, and got fucking whacked in the jaw. I mean, what else can you do with stupid?

@jeremy_maxie During WWII, the 'Wolfram Crisis' arose because the one thing Spain could supply the Nazis was tungsten, and they did. 20 percent or so of all wartime Spanish exports.

PSA: For all the GOP hyperventilating over Harris's plans for price controls to fight their own bogeyman, wage-and-price controls (and stupid tariffs, and a weaker dollar) were all Richard Nixon innovations. You break it, you own it.
