@borjaneira_ nails it. @paddi_hansen sees the growth.
Both are right - at different layers.

EUR grows in non-USD → MiCA compliance demand. EUR bleeds vs. USD → no unified collateral, no escape velocity.

But here's what neither chart shows 🧵👇 1/4
The "winner" of non-USD stablecoins is winning a shrinking room.

→ Non-USD supply: down 31% since 2022
→ EUR share of total market: 0.24%
→ Growth driver: regulatory mandate, not DeFi velocity

This isn't competition. It's managed decline with a European flag. 2/4 Image
The ECB knows this.

Lagarde warns of "large-scale migration" to stablecoins. The IMF warns of "dollarization risk."

Chatham House calls it "a new mechanism for capital flight."

The grief is documented. The blood is on the page.

Meanwhile: Digital Euro launch? Maybe 2029.

USDC has MiCA approval now. 3/4

1/ Whatever the legality of the strikes as a whole, this incident is very clearly a war crime (if you accept that these are combatants).
2/ Specifically under the 1949 Geneva Convention:

"Rule 47. Attacking persons who are recognized as hors de combat is prohibited. A person hors de combat is:...

(b) anyone who is defenceless because of unconsciousness, shipwreck, wounds or sickness...
3/ "... provided he or she abstains from any hostile act and does not attempt to escape."

I expect that Hegseth and others involved will get a preemptive pardon from Trump eventually, but they might want to avoid travelling outside America for the rest of their lives.

Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

2/ "Killing any of the men in the boats 'amounts to murder,' said Todd Huntley, a former military lawyer who advised Special Operations forces for seven years at the height of the U.S. counterterrorism campaign."

3/ "Even if the U.S. were at war with the traffickers, an order to kill all the boat’s occupants if they were no longer able to fight 'would in essence be an order to show no quarter, which would be a war crime,' said Huntley."

🚨 TN-7 Early Vote: Final Numbers Are In

Early voting surged to 84,356 ballots - one of the highest totals in recent memory for a Tennessee federal special held in early December.

Here are the biggest takeaways 👇
1/8Image
This race is now a full-blown turnout event, not a sleepy holiday special.

Montgomery, Williamson, and Davidson counties drove 65% of the early vote.

2/8 Image
🔵 Davidson county voters surged.

The TN-7 slice hit 20,951 early votes, blowing past projections.

It’s now the single largest early-vote contributor in the district (and Democrats’ only structural advantage).

Further excerpts from the interview with the Commander of the Ukrainian Special Electronic Support Center, on how to improve tactical EW.

“Firstly, the means must be easy to modernize because frequencies and application algorithms constantly change on the front.
1/ Image
“Moreover, the Russians can switch both to new frequencies and return to old ones. Accordingly, the means must also be changed quickly. Unfortunately, most systems are currently tailored to specific characteristics, and to change them, new ones must be purchased.
2/
“Secondly, the equipment must have a remote control function. This allows combining electronic warfare means into a single system and enables control from a safe place, for example, from a battalion command post.

1/ Wounded soldiers in Russia's 51st Army say they have been banned from going back to Russia for medical treatment. Instead, they're sent straight back, unhealed, to the fighting. "Tie a crutch to his leg and let him go to the front line," one commander has reportedly said. ⬇️ Image
2/ The 51st Guards Combined Arms Army, currently fighting at Pokrovsk, is a Russian formation that was originally created in the 'Donetsk People's Republic' as its 1st Army Corps. It has attracted a reputation for brutality and the careless expenditure of the lives of its men.
3/ According to soldiers who have written to the 'Brothers in Arms' Telegram channel:

"The partially recovered are sent to the front lines, they don't roll back the 300s [wounded], and they're sent further. No leave, no compensation. No vacations. There are no rotations."

Trump has again pulled his son-in-law back into high-stakes diplomacy. This time on Ukraine.

FT: Jared Kushner helped draft the early peace text after the Gaza deal and fed in Russian input from Dmitriev’s side. Trump is now considering sending him to Moscow with Witkoff. 1/ Image
Ukrainian officials noticed Kushner sitting directly at the table in Geneva, typing notes as ministers debated each clause.

Sergiy Kyslytsia said he was surprised to see him, but noted that Kushner “tracked every detail” of the talks. 2/
Kushner’s involvement mirrors Trump’s previous use of him in Middle East diplomacy: pushing the Abraham Accords, handling Gulf negotiations, and helping structure the Gaza ceasefire.

Trump now treats him as a go-to fixer for written peace frameworks. 3/

They called it horse medicine. Now it’s saving human lives.

I’m not talking about ivermectin.

From phantom limb pain to cancer-related agony, DMSO has succeeded where even opioids have failed—without side effects or addiction.

One mother says it even saved her child from permanent paralysis.

So why can’t you get it from your doctor? The answer will infuriate you.

🧵 THREADImage
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a natural compound that relieves pain, heals tissue, and treats countless “untreatable” conditions.

It’s safer than aspirin. It’s stronger than morphine. And it’s more versatile than anything you’ll find in your medicine cabinet or even the pharmacy.

So, of course, the FDA banned it.Image

Germany’s secret plan shows Berlin preparing for a real war with Russia.

With a continent-wide logistics machine moving up to 800,000 NATO soldiers on the East flank through German ports, rails, and autobahns. All-of-society shift back to Cold War logic, WSJ. 1/ Image
Urgency stems from intel Russia could strike NATO by 2029 or earlier, amid growing sabotage and airspace intrusions.

A Ukraine armistice might free Moscow’s forces, so plan’s core aim is deterrence: make clear an attack won’t be successful. 2/
Exercises reveal gaps: Rheinmetall’s 500-soldier camp hit land and traffic issues, while a Hamburg convoy was delayed two hours because police lacked solvent to remove mock protesters — exposing fragile coordination. 3/

The use of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs): the new revolution in the Ukrainian 🇺🇦 war.

Replacing infantry, UGVs fulfill several roles: combat support, troop evacuation, mine-laying, or logistics...

The revolution of ground drones in Ukraine 🇺🇦/🇷🇺 :

🧵THREAD🧵1/17⬇️Image
Like images from the future, ground drones are becoming increasingly visible on the ground in Ukraine.

While the arrival of aerial drones and their variants, as well as naval drones, has been well covered, the arrival of ground drones has been almost forgotten.
Multiple videos from the last few weeks are showing a wider use of ground drones for various missions.

Even if they are often targeter by aerial drones, they are still being very useful.

In the previous part, I promised to provide my answer to the question of what exactly the duties of the civil government should be. Here I shall do so.

Hear me, and I will show my work, judge me, that I may know I have rightly divided the word of truth, (Job 33:1-5).

To start, we must know how the scriptures define what civil government is.

I believe probably one of the best and earliest examples is in (Exo 18:13-27) where we see the only recorded formation of a civil government in Scripture. There we see Moses swamped with administration (v.13, Due 1:9-12), judging between men (v.16) and enquiring of God for men (v.15). Upon receiving wise counsel from Jethro, Moses divides the responsibility of administrating judgement between men among the people of Israel (v.24-26, Deu 1:15-18). It is particular to note that the sum of that organization was this: “Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him. Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.”
Nary a mention of promoting true religion, merely to judge matters between men and make no difference between men in the handling of each case.
To bring this into the context of the New Testament (NT), there are really only a couple passages within the NT that deal with this, (Rom 13 & 1 Pet 2:12-18). These establish that governing authorities are ordained by God as His ministers to execute justice by punishing evil works. As (Rom 13:3-4) states: “For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.”
Here, rulers are tasked with rewarding “good works” and punishing the “evil” works. Likewise, (1Pet 2:14) describes governors as sent “for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.”

Now knowing that the civil authority is meant to punish the evil and praise the good, the question then is thus: where does the civil authority's jurisdiction end? And what evil is he to be punishing?
