I suspect it will be more difficult for European newspapers to delete pieces critical of Macron in the future
“The Financial Times took the article off the internet — something a spokeswoman, Kristina Eriksson, said she couldn’t recall the publication ever having done before. It was also the first time, Stephen Brown said, that Politico had ever taken down an opinion article.”
Remarkable but true that we now need the @nytimes to tell us what is happening between European media and politicians and to throw light on important decisions being made
Not a single European newspaper asked these questions and pursued this story

If you want to understand what happened in Karabakh compare 2016 where Russia was able to stop Azerbaijan to 2020. See this interview with Azerbaijani defence minister from 2017
ria.ru/20170713/14983…
Two days into the war in 2016 Sergey Shoigu called him. "He said this business had to stop, the leadership of the countries are going to talk about it." And the business stopped. In 2020 the call either did not happen or was ignored
Consequence: Azerbaijan no longer fears Russia, Armenia no longer trusts it

Note how 30% of Karabakh proper is now occupied by Azerbaijan, including Shusha, which commands the valleys. Nakhchivan corridor is now possible as Zangilan area also under Azerbaijani control
Would Azerbaijan want to control Stepanakert at this time? Not really. Better let the Russians do it. It won’t be easy... if sustainable at all

I quite agree with the notion of structural racism, to unending shock from my conservative friends. This is a good example. Power would lose her whole way of looking at the world without the framework of undeveloped countries in Africa and Asia. Her mental world would collapse
Structurally, Samantha Power is a racist. Emotionally she is not. So the concept is useful

Very odd speech. There was even some suggestion of saving face in case of defeat (“we were about to win and then”), then “we will win” and finally “we have won”. Legally Trump very sloppy. Asking SCOTUS not only not to count mail in but apparently not to count large cities?!
I would say maybe numbers in PA, MI, WI not as good as he wanted
Listened again. Trump complains about two different things. That vote was stopped (it is strange that it did in Milwaukee or Detroit) and second that mail-in votes will be manipulated
