Kai Schwemmer, the new white supremacist leader of the College Republicans, is getting well-deserved attention — for his bigotry and close ties to Nick Fuentes.

What also demands attention here, but is being overlooked by media: like Nick Shirley, whose vile racist videos about Somalis in Minneapolis helped spark Trump's DHS/ICE attacks on that city, Schwemmer is a Mormon from Utah.

You might want 2 add the #PotatoeFamine hashtag.

Only due to this new crop which originates in #Peru, was the #IrishPopulationExplosion possible: from approximately 2 million in 1700 to 8.5 million by 1845.

The algae (#PhytophthoraInfestans) that caused successive crop failures of the imported #Monoculture staple diet, led 2 a #PotatoDisease called #LateBlight. It originated in the #Toluca Valley in 🇲🇽 and spread from the 🇺🇸 2 🇮🇪.

reading to the end—a failing for which only one of the two can offer his apparent reading and concentration deficiencies as an excuse. The #Inspector General #LymanBKirkpatrick finds:
“CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Certain "basic conclusions have "been drawn from this survey of the #CubanOperation:

Only a several days later, on …,

*THE CHARLESDEGAULINCIDENT OFF THE COAST OF SWEDEN*
PRELUDE: On Feb 17th, 2026, #ThomasNeilson, “head of #Sweden’s @placeholder @HistoPol

General Staff, the #Swedish countermeasures used to repel the #Drone away from the nuclear-powered #AircraftCarrier #CharlesDeGaulle “worked perfectly” and did not disrupt the flagship’s activities.” 2)
Now, why is this presumable attack on the only #European #AircraftCarrier on that day so pertinent? Remember #ThomasNeilson, the Swedish military intelligence guy? What did he say again, roughly two weeks earlier?
And now let’s have a look at the two prominent visitors @placeholder @HistoPol

in the #BalticSea.
Although the >aircraft carrier's radar systems had not seen it<, a #Swedish #Navy vessel spotted the drone during a patrol and activated an electronic #Jamming system to disrupt its navigation and sever the link with its operator. Contact was then lost.“ 4)

Two intermediate conclusions:
#Putin might be brazen, but in contrast to other people in power, he is not stupid. So, my take one is that he must have been almost a 100% certain that the #Drone would be destroyed prior to hitting the #CharlesDeGaulle.
The affair could have been exploited as a major PR victory against #Russia, so the remaining two pertinent questions, in my view, @placeholder @HistoPol

on the #CharlesDeGaulle on that fateful day in February:
“#Sweden's Prime Minister #UlfKristersson joined French Foreign Minister #JeanNoëlBarrot on board the Charles de Gaulle on Friday” 13)

AGAINST NATO, FROM THE KREMLIN’S PERSPEKTIVE*
Well, as the all know, both outcomes hinge chiefly on one seemingly ever more unhinged person in power. Apart from that, the mass delivery of #Iranian #ShahedDrones has been wreaking nightly havoc in #Ukraine. As we might have learned last week, the “biggest military in the world” might need #Ukrainian 21st century warfare support to not suffer a second #Afghanistan in #Iran, okay. But other than that? —Let us look at the @placeholder @HistoPol

are:
1) Why has this not happened?!?
2) What on earth has Putin gained from this close encounter of the potentially apocalyptic kind?
I do not pretend to have answers for that. As for 2), I only have but a hunch: testing #Sweden’s missile defense system?
In the meantime, #France’s flagship has been strategically redeployed, projecting force in a more imminent theater of war:
*HOW THE WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND IN UKRAINE ARE INCREASINGLY INTERCONNECTED (OR THE WAR @placeholder @HistoPol
