Donald Trump’s move to gut Washington’s 73-year-old military alliance with Seoul has been called “inane” and “shortsighted”
as lawmakers warned it risked strengthening Russia’s hand in Ukraine.
The US president abruptly ordered the Pentagon to scale back joint exercises with South Korea
just days after North Korea test-fired ballistic missiles,
justifying the decision by citing his “very good relationship” with Kim Jong-un, the nuclear-armed dictator such exercises ex…

1) Sšnchez government enacted many leftish policies because of its coalition partners.
2) He's vulnerable now due a series of scandals - not just corruption in PSOE but misogyny by now disgraced senior figures in Sumar and Podemos, and by absurd divisions on the left.
3) Add to that a renewed right / neoFalangist alliance PP-Vox.

Like many states, Colorado has a network of libraries that share books. If your local library doesn’t have a book you’re looking for the Alliance network likely will have a copy somewhere and they’ll send it to your local for pickup.

Professionally, they find themselves less and less able to contribute anything good to anyone within business models that ar…

RE: https://todon.eu/@CrimethInc/117243404728349033
The monarchs of the Russian Empire were well aware, more than 200 years ago, that freedom anywhere was a threat to empire everywhere. That's why a collection of European autocrats formed The Holy Alliance in 1815.
But the corollary is also true: empire anywhere is a threat to freedom everywhere. Sure, we can learn rules from each other, because these autocrats all play the same game. They've been playing roughly the same game for hundreds of years. But it's more than we can just share notes. We are in the same war.
The fall of any dictator threatens the legitimacy of all other dictators. While authoritarian countries may be at war, it's little more than a game of chess for them. They want to win, not to kill the other player. More than even needing an opponent to keep the game going, dictators prop each other up.
Autocrats have been internationalist for hundreds of years, and that's part of how they've kept coming back. After the fall of Russia, the torch of autocracy passed to the US who really picked it up after the end of WWII. They toppled countries around the world for daring to fall outside of one imperial sphere or another. And, eventually, they got the chance to do the same to Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union. American intervention helped put Putin in power, and he very much repaid the debt with Trump.
Dictatorship is an infection that spreads until it is contained and destroyed. There is one war, the class war, and we should learn from and support all our comrades fighting the same fight everywhere.

Here is the transcript of the meat of Carney’s proposal for a deeper Canada and EU partnership in text. Full text of the speech at the second link. The 2 minute video clip got a chuckle (“better manners”).
“So let me say plainly what Canada proposes.
Canada and Europe should secure our strategic autonomy through deep cooperation in the full range of strategic capabilities, including critical minerals, defence industrial capacity, AI and compute, energy security, space, and payments.
We should move toward seamless, digital trade in non-agricultural goods and a wide range of services.
We should deepen our people-to-people ties, allowing our youth to live, work and study where they want on either side of the Atlantic.
Canadian membership of Erasmus can give your students, and ours, more opportunity to learn at some of the world’s top universities, to broaden their horizons, and to build lasting ties that will sustain our alliance for the future.
Canadian membership of the next generation of Horizon would allow us to pool resources, cooperate on frontier technologies, and leverage our world-class research institutes and universities.
Yesterday, President von der Leyen announced a “new European Corporation on Critical Raw Materials” to obtain and stockpile the material needed for electric cars, chips and batteries, clean technology, and defence. Canada has deposits of over 34 critical minerals, and we are among the top producers of the 10 most essential for the world’s energy transition. Our alliance can help fill Europe’s need for reliable supply, Canada’s need for advanced processing capabilities, and our common objective to build complete value chains.
Canada can contribute LNG and hydrogen at large scale to support Europe’s energy security including by developing and leveraging new port infrastructure in the High North and on our East Coast. We, in turn, can benefit from your leadership in many clean energy technologies.
We can pool new sovereign compute capacity and build more secure broadband connections between Europe and Asia via our common geography.
Canada and Europe can join forces to develop AI safety protocols, coordinate common standards, and strengthen transparency, all while developing applications so our governments and companies can serve our citizens better.
Canada and Europe should also consider exploring an integrated market for financial services to broaden choice and reduce costs for our citizens, improve access to capital for our companies while maintaining our world-leading financial resilience.”

For a bit more interesting context, the Russian Empire at the time could be described as a white supremacist Christian nationalist autocracy that persecuted internal minorities. Russia was at the authoritarian backstop for all of Europe. They were a key part of the Holy Alliance that pushed hard for international censorship and autocratic alliances, and would even send troops to suppress democratic uprisings against autocrats in other countries.
They were so central to maintaining international autocracy that people on the international left would argue that, for freedom anywhere to survive "the tsar must die."
This is definitely just historical musing and not a #USPol post.
