The EU’s carbon border tax and the fragmentation of global trade https://www.ft.com/content/ca51ebf5-fbb8-4c88-a93d-ded3d6d3bcdd

[Archive link](https://archive.ph/MJpzu) This feels sensible. There will always be naysayers, there will always be exports to poorer countries, but arguing against such a policy makes it sound like protecting the status quo for the sake of it.

­­Ukraine Has a Pathway to Victory https://foreignpolicy.com/2024/01/08/ukraine-russia-war-victory-stalemate-strategy-weapons-congress-aid/

[Archive link](https://archive.ph/T5ciR) It's a theoretical pathway, but it's a nice read overall for someone who's not into warring all that much. I've found the explanations understandable.

Europe signs off on €1.2B for homegrown cloud project www.theregister.com

[Archive link](https://archive.ph/ya1Bi) I do wish EC pulls this off. It would great having an actual home-grown competitor to cloud providers. EU does data protection better than anyone else, this would very much be a symbiotic relationship.

Regular archivers are sad today, I've upload the PDF of the article page [here](https://ufile.io/wrvj78lg). ___ A fairly strongly worded opinion article by a clinician and associate professor. Let's hope she's wrong, but the argument she provides sounds plausible.

3M, DuPont defeat massive class action over forever chemicals www.reuters.com

[Archive link](https://archive.ph/WJnIw) > "Seldom is so ambitious a case filed on so slight a basis," wrote Circuit Judge Raymond Kethledge, noting there are thousands of companies that have manufactured PFAS but just 10 listed as defendants in the case. How on earth did that happen? It's such a disappointment, but at the same time I understand the judicial system has to follow the law and apply it equally. Why was the lawsuit *so* limited in the first place?

Beijing Tightens Its Grip on the Critical Minerals Sector foreignpolicy.com

[Archive link](https://archive.ph/LIgZE) Normally I prefer specialization, but these industries are massive enough to still have economy of scale benefits even after duplicating efforts across continents. It's probably also a nice boost to local economies.

The EU Is Letting Hungary and Poland Erode Democracy foreignpolicy.com

[Archive link](https://ghostarchive.org/archive/ON6rq) I'm sort of torn on this. I really like the idea of all member states having an equal say on things, but at the same time Hungary and Poland's fairly extreme stance is holding the whole bloc back. Is there a democratic way to solve this? I'm not aware of one.
