Trump’s efforts to supply the U.S. with Russian diesel have yet to result in any new imports into the country, as several fuel tankers bound for America shifted course following difficulties finding buyers willing to accept the controversial cargoes. on.wsj.com/3XjGxAz

when the whiskey
has stopped working
and she needs
a man to hold her
she goes searching
for a stranger
in the corners
of the night…

If I became the anchor
that moors your belief,
let down your conscience
so it lets you breathe.
Life wasn't fair,
and for that I do grieve.
I would split the burden
if it curbed your strife.
I would acquiesce,
if it made things right.
I would summon death,
if it gave you life.

Ukraine and the Nordic Countries. Today, Mette Frederiksen @Statsmin, @KristrunFrosta, @jonasgahrstore, @PetteriOrpo, @SwedishPM, and I met in Copenhagen. Over the years of Russia’s full-scale war, this format has become a true pillar of strength and resilience for Ukraine.
We had a detailed discussion of diplomacy and preparations for the next steps. I briefed them on today’s negotiations in Abu Dhabi. And our shared position is clear: Europe must absolutely be at the negotiating table. I also spoke about Russia’s escalation and its attacks on our energy infrastructure. Hundreds of thousands of families live with power outages every day. The situation is currently most difficult in the Kyiv, Dnipro, and Chernihiv regions. Russian attacks are also causing constant problems with electricity supplies in the Donetsk, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia regions. I am grateful for the readiness to help. We are counting heavily on new support packages that will help our people get through such Russian terror this winter.
I thank the leaders for coordination in the interests of our shared security. I am grateful to our Nordic friends – Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and Finland – for their continued support, unity, and decisions that help protect lives.

A quiet voice silenced
the #conscience locked away
Trading the daylight
for a pocket full of grey
We spend the silver
and deny the lie
Mirrors hold secrets
that dollars can't buy
The gamble is over
the wheels have been spun
We sit in the dark
deceived by what we've won

Dangling from
the moonbeams
of your eyes
I sway
suspended in
your galaxy
you hold me there
while stars dance above
gallery of light
reflecting every feeling
of this moment

- Alexander Stubb:
" I think we need to make clear to the Russians and everyone else that there are a few things that are completely off the table in these negotiations.
One is EU membership. It is not Russia who decides on EU membership. It is the European Union who does that.
Two is NATO. It is not Russia that decides on NATO membership. It is the Alliance itself.
Three is Ukrainian defence. It is not Russia that decides on what Ukraine has by its border, when, where, and how.
And four: European security arrangements ... or order. It’s not Russia that decides on that. We already have a European security order and should stick to it."
................
It should be clear enough! 🤷♀️
He is one of the strong leaders.😉
Europe needs more such firm opinions.👍

have been thinking
about your mind
it has many rooms
and no walls
I long to linger
in some corner
like a soft hum
of a familiar song
as you move through
a thousand other things.
have been thinking
about your heart too—
but
I dare not summarise.
Its lit chambers
trouble the conscience of stars

Once more unto the screech.
Indeed, and the creature from the deep
with a leap and a bound is here in ever
unsound and therefore profoundly
explosive mode.
Everything bestowed with a bang I say
and hang the consequences as I slam
and damn my way through the day with
displays of amazing disgrace.
Bracing, and bound to such a course I've
much found my place at the base of
things.
Drop the base?
No dear.
I couldn't possibly force the coarse out
as I doubt I can do anything else.
With the fuzzy felt not being my bag then
the puzzling anomalistic pitch is stitched
with sacking.
Attack that is, and wonderous be the
plunder of thunderous treasure.
Anyway, this has been your pleasure and
with that said the dread write hand will now
away on an errant errand which will bring
the chink of coin but leave someone with
a sinking feeling.

His wrinkled, sweaty hands are heavy
as he kneads my frozen shoulders.
“Do you like this?” he asks.
“Not one bit,” I reply.
Slowing down, displeased,
he retracts his hands. Then, he walks
into his friend’s office: my boss’s boss.
I keep typing while I sigh.
A few weeks later, it’s just me and him
in the elevator. What will he do this time?
I grow a bit taller on my four-inch heels,
my lips form a disapproving pout.
“You should always wear red on those lips.”
He orders. “They are meant to stand out.”
I lift my chin and look away.
Never show fear when you’re the prey.
