I have to say, I know it is freaking February in the Baltic, but I didn't see a ton of esprit de corps there

Another thing I'm wondering about European preparedness. How good are European intelligence gathering and spying capabilities? In Russia, in the US, and in China?

I hear British intelligence services only use published sources.

Any recommendation for a three player board game? It's not a frequent player count in my group.

Generally for three players I think coop (or semi-coop) is a good choice, if the group enjoys such games.

Just having major news worthy figures controlling major media outlets is a giant conflict of interest. But we already examined that problem in the movie 'Citizen Kane'.

The problem is that movie is too boring so no one watches it.

It is kind of weird to hear those songs played in the 21st century like that.

Optimistic read is that they are delaying because they want to hit a reasonable price point and they need to make sure they have enough supply at the right cost.

It's the kind of thing where the only thing that matters is how he (the ambassador) is perceived back home in court (i.e. by Trump).

You do not shitpost on main, the golden rule of diplomacy. It's just incredible to watch. The Poles were literally the most pro-American nation on Earth.

It's their role now. US ambassador to Canada is just spitting dumb shit all the time now. Everyone must now down to the King.
