Paul Krugman:

"When officers of a company or people close to them exploit confidential information for personal financial gain, that’s (illegal) insider trading. But we have another word for situations in which people with access to confidential info regarding national security exploit that info for profit. That word is “treason.”

There’s a broader lesson here: You can’t trust a corrupt govt to protect national security. And our govt is now utterly corrupt."

At the beginning of the war in 2022, I helped raise $2000 for Ukraine with 3 art pieces featuring Pres. Zelenskyy, a Ukrainian cat, and a stray Ukrainian dog named Rambo. I wear this t-shirt proudly and will always support the bravery of the Ukrainian people! Slava Ukraini!

Useful idiots strike again:

> Czech drone facility making weapons for Ukraine set on fire

> […] a group protesting Israeli weapons claimed responsibility.

> LPP Holding confirmed a fire at one of its facilities and denied producing drones for Israel.

> "No Israeli drones have ever been manufactured at our facility," the company said.

VÍTĚZ: Pan Nikdo proti Putinovi

Opposition parties, NGOs and academics are accusing #Czechia’s new government of preparing to introduce a Russia-style law, which would stifle dissent by tightening disclosure rules on foreign financing for NGOs.
