With continued American #aid to #Ukraine stalled & against the looming prospect of a 2nd Trump presidency, #NATO ofcls are looking to take more #control of directing #military support from Ukraine’s allies — a role that the #US has played for the past 2 yrs.
Under a prop being discussed at the #military#alliance’s HQ, #NATO would oversee the #Ukraine#Defense Contact Grp, currently led by the #UnitedStates, that coordinates the donation & delivery of weapons to the battlefield.…
“A stronger NATO role in coordinating & providing support is the way to end this #war in a way where Ukraine prevails,” SecGen Stoltenberg said on Wed.
“There is a need to give this a more robust & institutional framework to ensure #predictability & #commitment for the long haul,” Stoltenberg said. He added: “I strongly believe it’s important that #allies make decisions fast. And that includes, of course, the #UnitedStates.”
U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell announced he will step down as leader of the Republican Party in the Senate this November. McConnell has held the position for nearly 20 years, the longest reign of any Senate leader in U.S. history. His aides say his decision has nothing to do with his health, and that he plans to remain in the Senate until his term ends in 2027. Read more from the AP.
Rep Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), the fmr #House#speaker who was ousted from his position in Oct in a revolt by hard-right members, will not seek reelection to his congressional seat & will retire from Congress at the end of this month, he announced Wed.
“I have decided to depart the House at the end of this year to serve America in new ways. I know my work is only getting started,” #McCarthy said in a WSJ op-ed.
#McCarthy’s #retirement will bring to an end a 16-yr #House career that saw him quickly rise through the ranks of #Republican leadership, culminating w/his stint as #speaker. His ouster marked the 1st time in history that the House voted to remove its #leader, a move that threw the chamber into a period of #instability.
McCarthy’s departure before the end of his term means #California Gov. Gavin #Newsom (D) will have to call a special #election to replace him.
“As I move forward, I will continue to champion gender equality and work towards dismantling the barriers that hold us back. I will strive to be the mentor and ally I wish I had when I was starting out. By embracing our unique strengths and fostering a supportive community, I believe we can create a more inclusive and equitable world for all.” - Kira Wetzel

"Any time you have to tell someone what to do using your formal authority, you have failed in some way and your actual influence and power will decrease. Formal authority is a blunt, fragile instrument." #Management#leader
Un #leader#incel decide di stufarsi del maschilismo tossico e si trova la fidanzata. Il seguito è una roba tipo scapoli vs ammogliati in #Fantozzi, ma più triste e grottesca
