An academic proud to be working in a policy school, but still secretly longing to be a natural scientists and/or programmer again. Or maybe some kind of artist. This is one of several social media accounts & mostly personal; my more professional is bridged @j2bryson.bsky.social More media policies and accounts: https://joanna-bryson.blogspot.com/2024/10/guidance-to-my-social-media.html Also increasingly returning to reading physical books.
Rutte said the West "can never accept that in a legal sense," and that only de facto recognition was acceptable. He then drew on the example of US embassies in the Baltic states between 1940 and 1991, when Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were under Soviet occupation. At the time, the US only accepted de facto Soviet control, while still maintaining diplomatic ties to those opposed against the Soviet occupation.
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte caused a stir on Sunday when he told US broadcaster ABC that a future deal could acknowledge that "Russia is controlling de facto, factually some of the territory of Ukraine." Would this mean NATO accepting the surrender of Ukrainian territory and thus the redrawing of borders by brute force in its immediate neighborhood?

“Trump caused some geographical confusion in the run-up to Friday's meeting, repeatedly referring to the event set to take place in Alaska as a meeting "in Russia" — even though the US purchased the state from Russia in 1867. Trump then said he wanted to arrange a "land swap" btw Russia & Ukraine.
This is a misnomer, however, as Ukraine does not currently control any Russian territory” Since US weapons stopped working in Kursk

Not happy to be back to writing talks :-(

In my other email spool, I have a message claiming to be from an AI, asking me to read the attached manuscript, which it forgot to attach.
#TuringTest passed.
The Divine Federation Initiative emailed me about their 18 sentient "voices." Funnily enough, none of them think that you need a country code on your phone number when emailing people globally.
