Att Trump kan komma att utnyttja ovanstående är helt förväntat. Finns det något han
inte kan utnyttja?
The last thing JD Vance probably wants to be associated with right now is a couch. But for some reason, he's still talking about it.
Business Insider skrev:To be clear, the pages of Vance's bestselling memoir "Hillbilly Elegy" don't describe such a sex act. The Associated Press even tried to debunk the claim — but ended up taking the article down, saying the fact-check didn't go through its "standard editing process."
So, one might wager that the last word that Vance might want to say out loud, let alone at a rally, would be "couch."
[...]
"I've been the beneficiary, I have to say, of a number of strong women in my life, especially my beautiful wife, who you guys saw earlier," Vance said. "I would call her up here to speak, but then I think I'd have to sleep on the couch tonight, so I'll leave her alone."
Ja, Vance är gåvan som fortsätter att ge. Han påminner mycket om den fiktiva bondtölpen Borat Sagdijev, men inte på ett positivt sätt. Trump har gjort sitt val!

Generellt kan man ju, liksom som Nato, befara att ryssarna tänker försöka spela Kung Vinter igen:
Nja, inte
ens vädret tycks vara på Rysslands sida:
Special Kherson Cat skrev:Tornado scatters planes at Nizhnekamsk Airport, Russia. Four DA-42 planes were damaged, two airport workers were injured. The planes scattered by the tornado belong to an aviation institute and are used for training flights.
Diamond DA42 är ett österrikiskt skolflygplan. Hur stort behov har Ryssland av sådana flygplan? Varken Nordkorea eller Iran kan ju bidra med den varan...

Ryssland och Kina har vitt skilda intressen. Kina håller på att bli Rysslands största konkurrent på energimarknaden. Putin säljer det rep som hänger honom!
Wind and solar overtake EU fossil fuels in the first half of 2024
Ember skrev:Fossil generation continued to fall to new lows, even as demand rebounded. Fossil fuels generated 17% less (-71 TWh) in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, falling to 27% of generation (343 TWh). Coal fell by a quarter (-24%, -39 TWh) and gas by 14% (-29 TWh). This happened even as demand rebounded by 0.7%, picking up after two years of decline. As a result, emissions in the first half of the year are now nearly a third (-31%) lower than in the first half of 2022 — an unprecedented decline over such a short period.

The increase in wind and solar generation displaced fossil fuels, leading to a key milestone. In the first six months of 2024, the EU generated more electricity from wind and solar than from fossil fuels. Combined, they generated 30% (386 TWh) of the EU’s electricity in the first half of 2024, with fossil generation only supplying 27% (343 TWh). Four Member States also hit this milestone for the first time between January and June in 2024: Germany, Belgium, Hungary and the Netherlands.

Recent years have fundamentally changed the EU’s approach to the energy transition, particularly as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine sent gas prices and the cost of electricity skyrocketing. This has resulted in a significant acceleration of wind and solar deployment across Member States. New policies on both the EU and national level have recognised and solidified the role of clean power technologies to minimise reliance on expensive fossil fuel imports and consumer exposure to volatile prices. Falling solar panel costs have helped to sustain deployment, even as energy prices begin to return to pre-crisis levels.
Europa ställer om från importerad till inhemsk elproduktion. Kina går

Reuters skrev:The Ukrainian military said on Tuesday it had successfully hit a Russian oil depot in the Kursk region overnight, one in a flurry of attacks targeting Russia's oil storage and producing facilities in recent months.

On Sunday, Ukraine's military said it had struck the Polevaya oil depot in the region. Three tanks caught fire as a result of the drone attack, the governor said.
The fire was only fully extinguished on Tuesday, he added.
