  • It’s not like USA didn’t profit from being the sole sheriff on international waters for those 80 years. Europe being subdued and mostly not seeking any power projection in that period allowed the US to dictate who buys what from whom and in what currency. None of world policing was a charity. There’s no going back to that. Europe has to commit to security, I just hope Von Der Leyen and Tusk will not waste that 1trillion euro they are promising to spend on that and that Americans will take the Russians assets out the Romanian way and become sane again.




  • Back in mid 00s I created a forum for fellow classmates to share notes, info on exams and whatever. It was active for a year or a bit more, then someone set up a Facebook page for our group and the forum died in about a month. I could not understand why people migrated so quickly, Facebook group was atrocious when it comes to search functions, any files, notes or anything you didn’t download immediatelly were lost to time never to be seen again. If the forum is still up I’m sure I’d still be able to easily download exam schedules and all notes from all the classes there, with Facebook it was a pain even a week after someone posted. There is something fundamentally wrong with society if an inferior product can sweep the board so easily. People do not care about quality or usefulness of anything, all that matters is marketing and trends.
