2/ One day after publishing my own ”Thick Red Book”, the discussion was even more inspiring as there were many overlapping topics, e.g. the role of small states in ”counter-globalization” (in Finnish):

3/ The first part was very academic.
Several points:
a) Individuals define national interests while group-thinking accelerates trends
b) Populism, fundamentally xenophobic, is behind ”counter-globalization”

The breathless news coverage on Harry and Meghan has made #IranianProtesters look like extras in a B movie.
But while the semi-Royal couple has ‘spared’ us no details, Iranians’ abductions, torture and hangings by the #IR go largely unreported.
This has huge ramifications:

This has huge ramifications:
1. It signals the fickleness of American foreign policy, and worse, American leadership. From Obama’s “unclench your fist” to Trump’s “maximum pressure” to Biden’s aloofness on ME, our Iran policy looks like disconnected movies in a potentially promising sequel.
2. Underreporting the #IranRevoIution also gives the appearance that the regime’s unspeakable brutality has been successful in deterring/scaring Iranians into submission.
In fact, the opposite has become true.

2. Why is 'Neo-Idealism' called 'Neo-Idealism'?
- I outlined this new approach to #IR & Grand Strategy in a previous thread (see linked tweet).
- Now I dig deeper into the name & concept

I first introduced the idea of #NeoIdealism in a piece for @RUSI_org in April '22 but Its fullest elaboration so far is in my book - 'To #Ukraine With Love'
- published last month & available now on kindle & paperback😎

So why call it Neo-Idealism?

Some of the Neo-Idealists from #CEE - sometimes explicitly - seek to refresh the hopeful, people-centred politics that flourished in the post-communist transitions of the 1990s but which had wilted more recently, especially after the 2008 financial crisis

Lung nodule biopsy. Two minimally invasive options. #CTTTNA or #Bronchoscopy. Which one to choose? Primer on pros/cons here @MaldonadoFabien’s #VERITAS trial. clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04…
Lets highlight some recent trials to prompt discussion. Complications After Transthoracic Needle Biopsy of Pulmonary Nodules: A Population-Level Retrospective Cohort Analysis. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35738412/
In that study. Among 16,971 patients who underwent TTNB, 25.8% experienced a complication within 3 days of the procedure (pneumothorax 23.3%, hemorrhage 3.6%, and air embolism 0.02%).
My paper “Beyond ports, roads & railways: Chinese economic statecraft, the Belt and Road Initiative & the politics of financial infrastructures” is finally coming out with @EuroJournIR 🥳🥳🥳 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13… - a short 🧵 #IR #IPE #BRI #China #BeltandRoad #CHERN

While many IR/IPE scholars focus on physical infrastructures, this article analyses the construction of Chinese financial infrastructures along the BRI as an exercise of economic statecraft within the context of the liberal, US-dominated global financial order 2/8
I trace activities of Chinese exchanges as crucial actors that facilitate financial connectivity by enabling investment into BRI projects (investment opportunities), bringing 🇨🇳investors into BRI markets (investor structure) & shaping how these markets work (investment rules) 3/8
1/ #IR-Tip: One of the (many) tasks to do after a compromise of an (AD) network is to change ALL passwords (from users to service accounts).
This step is listed as #1 on the excellent "post compromise active directory checklist" from @UK_Daniel_Card (👏). 🧵

2/ Trust is good, control is better, right?
Although we tell our customers repeatedly how fundamental a password change is, we have had more than one case where not all passwords were changed (intentionally or unintentionally), sometimes resulting of the re-entering of TAs.

1. One line that seems to divide expert advice on how the West should behave in the #RussiaUkraineWar is that most area students recommend more military support for #Ukraine while many #IR & #politicalscience professors propose accommodation of #Russia.

2. Many generalists' underlying argument, whether im- or explicitly indicated, is that #EasternEurope specialists suffer from professional distortion. An emotions overload weakens their political judgement. Thus the generalists' texts are often educational rather than analytical.
3. #Areaexperts, in contrast, suspect the #generalists of suffering from a lack of empirical and contextual information. They are afraid that the generalists neither properly know nor fully understand (or are even not interested in) key peculiarities of the #RussianUkrainianWar.
The thread based on this article went ballistic
- I *suspect* because of #Kraftwerk rather than #IRTheory
BUT there's something more to the piece than just the international politics of #Germany's postwar cultural history.

Difference has always been at the heart of #InternationalRelations (#IR)
- The very notion of ‘relations’ requires difference between the units doing the relating
- Despite the name, IR focused on states rather than nations as the units that related to each other.
- The very notion of ‘relations’ requires difference between the units doing the relating
- Despite the name, IR focused on states rather than nations as the units that related to each other.
These states, seen as clearly distinguishable were often imagined to represent particular nations, which could be seen as different - & neatly, even ‘naturally’ bordered from each other (e.g. Agnew, 1994).

Ein sehr schöner Teil des Lehrens an der #uni ist die Möglichkeit damit zu experimentieren, wie man das kreative Potenzial der Studierenden erschließen kann. Dieses Semester habe ich ein neues Experiment gestartet - ich entwickle mit meinen Studierenden ein #Strategiespiel.
Es hat den Arbeitstitel "The Next Proliferator" und soll veranschaulichen, von welchen Faktoren es abhängt, ob ein Staat sich #Nuklearwaffen aneignen kann oder eben nicht.

Sobre as doações ao ex-procur. da República Deltan Dallagnol: doações são isentas de imposto de renda #IR (Regulamento do IR – Decreto 9.580/2018, art. 35, inciso VII, alínea c). Elas sujeitam-se ao imp. estadual sobre transmissões e doações do domicílio tributário do donatário.
O Regulamento do IR não define limite para a isenção de doações, diferentemente do que faz para os rendimentos de trabalho remunerado. Também não diferencia a natureza da doação. +
O valor das doações recebidas é relevante para definir a obrigação tributária acessória de prestar declaração de IR. Doações acima de R$ 40 mil impõem o dever do donatário (o recebedor) de apresentar declaração de rendimentos à Receita Federal, não o dever de pagar IR. +

The spleen constitutes an important part of body's immune system and is highly vascular organ. Due to its location is one of the most affected organ in blunt abdominal trauma. The goal of pSAE is to decrease perfusion pressure to promote hemostasis and preserve splenic function
Splenic artery embolization (SAE) may be performed in the presence of abdominal trauma involving the spleen and non-traumatic pathologies such as hypersplenism, portal HT, and visceral aneurysms.
All this 20 years of struggle and, then - cowardly deserting Afghanistan leaves the following conclusions:
1) There is a limit to the effectiveness of, even, the 'boots-on-the-ground' measures. No matter how overwhelming the forces you have, you can't win a War if the Opposition
1) There is a limit to the effectiveness of, even, the 'boots-on-the-ground' measures. No matter how overwhelming the forces you have, you can't win a War if the Opposition
opts for the doughty guerrilla warfare.
You can't subjugate such resistance, and try for peace building, without bringing the contextual parties on the table for power-sharing talks.
2) No super power in the History has been made as overstretched as the USA has been now.

So, if the point #1 rebuts Mearsheimer's weightage towards the effectiveness of the Land power,
this point (#2) re-affirms his 'tragedy' - you need that economic base to be a preponderant power in all theatres.
It's tough to define the USA a 'superpower' now as it can't do this.

Nominee co’s are set up by major brokers/custodians/etc. to aggregate individual sharehldgs, both large & small...eg in reality, Vidacos does NOT own a 25.5% stake.
And no, #WarrenBuffett does NOT have a direct/indirect hldg in KR1!

Thread: The statements and evidences on the horrendous atrocities taking place in the war on #Tigray #Ethiopia are mounting, despite the fed gov imposed information blockage. | Terrified' survivors recount attacks on civilians in Tigray | AFP via @YouTube
It seems clear that widespread and systematic #humanrights violations mounting to #CrimesAgainstHumanity and #WarCrimes are taking place in #Tigray #Ethiopia.
Whether we are also observing a #Genocide in the making in #Tigray #Ethiopia, is leagally speaking too early to confirm due to lack of access. #GenocideWatch and #UN special advisor on the prevention of genocide have expressed concerns in this regard however.

ℹ️🔥 Por forma à #VOSTPT estar permanentemente alinhada com a #ANEPC, na designação /categorização das ocorrências de #incêndios, vamos deixar de usar a #IFNomeDoConcelho (IF=Incêndio Florestal), para passar a #IRNomeDoConcelho (IR=Incêndio Rural).
Esta alteração surge, não só para facilitar os esforços das duas entidades na monitorização das Redes Sociais, mas também devido às várias categorias que Incêndio Rural (#IR) pressupõe, sendo o Incêndio Florestal (#IF) uma dessas categorias, conforme podes verificar nesta tabela.
Chamamos a atenção para esta mudança: @vostSPAIN, @VOSTgalicia, @VOSTeurope, @AT_Brif, @Plan_INFOCA. Esta mudança também será refletida no @FogosPt 🔥ℹ️
