U.S. ‘Economic Outcast’ operation gains momentum as EU joins sanctions; South Korea weighs military backing (www.cnbc.com)
 

Bessent praised the EU for formally joining “Operation Economic Outcast,” as Washington widens its war against Iran to economic pressure.

The EU has separately maintained its own sanctions regime targeting Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs and its military support for Russia.

South Korea is weighing options including military assistance to support the U.S. bid to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, though no decision has been made.

The Ukrainian capital was hit by Russia’s most intense wave of air attacks on Kyiv, reportedly in four years, with Reuters describing air raid sirens, drones, cruise and ballistic missiles exhausting Ukraine’s defence system, with 12 people killed and the Ukrainian foreign minister making a direct appeal to Western allies for more Patriot interceptor missiles.

Strengthening Africa is an investment in Europe's future: EU Commissioner Jozef Sikela (www.france24.com)
 

Are great-power politics back, at the expense of smaller countries? In an age of strongmen, is multilateralism in retreat? Not according to Jozef Sikela. The EU Commissioner in charge of International Partnerships insists that traditional multilateralism is alive and well, especially in the EU's approach to Africa and to the Arctic. We sat down with him for an interview at the European Commission in Brussels.

I don't disagree with you, but I also think that people should be allowed to buy art. Sadly I don't have a solution, but at least they get taxed on the purchase, right?

Might be a little more anonymous than Visa, but not as anonymous as cash. The bank will still be able to see where you buy, but probably not what. Swish is like WERO in that it uses your phone number, so yeah, if you get a payment you can see their number.

It probably won't work on uncertified phones, but also because it uses BankID, the digital-id card everyone uses. If anything, the bank-id is the bigger problem because you basically can't function in Sweden without one.

Sweden only I'm afraid, but there's also a nordic one called Vipps that works in all (I think) nordic countries.

Would love to have it EU wide though.

No need to fly. A girl I know took the bus to Cambodia, spent the night, and returned to Thailand the next day. Visa renewed. :)

Swish is wonderful. I pay petty much everything with swish these days, just to avoid using Visa or any other US payment system.
