This is the most outrageous breach of #nationalsecurity that I can ever remember. The #FiveEyes #intelligence group should investigate whether the US maintains sufficient security over their collective intelligence data.
And if senior #US cabinet officials “loathe” #Europe and want Europe to pay them for unilateral #military actions that benefit global trade, the US regime are #mafia. The US has created a protection racket.

Almost everything the #Trump administration has done so far is simply the most blatant #political #amateurism : #diplomacy that completely isolates the country, new #economic and #trade #policy that plunges the #stockmarket ,chaotic downsizing of #government departments and #public policies, hilarious #crisis communication on #Signal, #peace negotiations with #Russia and #Ukraine that favor the aggressor, etc. #Americans have elected a government that doesn't (yet?) understand what #politics is.
“However, it’s the remarkable impact offscreen that has transformed #Bluey into a global juggernaut, which has some declaring the pup the Taylor Swift of children’s #entertainment.
Whether it’s kids talking in Aussie slang, #tourism campaigns centered around the cute canines, live shows, merchandise, an upcoming movie or Disney welcoming Bluey into resorts and cruises, the brand — worth an estimated $2 billion — has infiltrated entertainment, #culture, #education, #parenting and #travel.”
Australian “soft power”.

Félicité picks up on the fascinating example of trading companies: Although no sovereign powers from a European perspective, they acted quite independently in Asia for example and in fact helped the European monarchies establishing diplomatic contacts. She argues that “these institutions both co-produced diplomacy and were produced by diplomacy.” Thus, focussing on the sending institutions of #emdiplomacy deepens our understanding of early modern European political culture and state formation in general. (5/5)

Therefore, in a second step, Félicité discusses the diversity of political entities that enganged in diplomacy. These were not only the great powers and European kingdoms, but also smaller political actors, such as duchies or city states or even trading companies or religious orders. For these precarious actors diplomatic interaction was in a way key to their political survival. It kept them in the game and contributed to stabilizing their status. (4/5)
For the #handbook Félicité asks the fundamental question: Who was allowed to sent out #emdiplomats? She explains that the actor-centred approach of #NDH has led to the neglect of the institutional side of diplomacy in favor of diplomatic actors. But in order to understand #emdiplomacy we also must pay attention to the “sending institutions”. (2/5)

After our #BlackHistoryMonth special we resume our introduction of the #handbook articles. We continue with a new section that focusses on the diversity of diplomatic actors, asking who was allowed to sent out diplomats and who acted as formal or informal #emdiplomats.
As Zelensky heads to South Africa, the world watches. Peace is a fragile dance, and every step counts. Can diplomacy outshine the shadows of conflict? #Hope #Diplomacy
Surely all the diplomats of the world have created a group chat and are just like, “I wouldn’t do that, player”
Any refusal or failure to respond within the given timeframe will be considered a DECLARATION OF WAR against the signatory countries and will result in retaliatory measures with serious consequences for Russia.

„Foreign ministers from #Qatar, #Jordan, #SaudiArabia, #Egypt and the #UnitedArabEmirates, along with the secretary-general of the Palestine Liberation Organization's executive committee, presented the reconstruction plan to Witkoff, agreeing with the U.S. envoy to continue consultations and coordination on this plan as a basis for the reconstruction efforts in Gaza (….).‟
Cuts to foreign-aid to agencies like #USAID undermine a crucial foreign-policy tool—soft power—that is often undervalued or ignored within the Trump administration. A political science professor explains why it’s often better than dropping bombs

Thanks to Donald Trump, Canada’s Liberal Party suddenly looks competitive in the upcoming federal election
For more than a year, Canada's Conservatives have appeared to be on a glide path to forming the nation's next government. But Donald Trump's return and the trade war that he started have changed that.
