New book on Trump: the more a would-be dictator seeks total power, the more absurd he becomes

Krzysztof Szadkowski reviews a new book about Donald Trump, which explores the claim that Trump aspires to be the most powerful leader in history. The reviewer argues the book confirms a timeless truth about would-be dictators: the more they crave absolute power, the more ridiculous they become. The publication is assessed as a sharp analysis of what the reviewer calls "pseudo-dictatorial" political phenomena.

Is it fair to compare Trump to a dictator?

Green card holder detained by ICE after nearly 28 years in the US

Dayton Andre Lindsay, a green card holder who has lived in the United States for nearly 28 years, has been held in ICE immigration detention since March 2025. He was arrested at Chicago's O'Hare airport upon returning from a holiday in Jamaica. His family insists he has committed no crimes. The case highlights increasingly aggressive immigration enforcement under current US policy.

Should ICE be able to detain lawful US residents without a criminal conviction?

Iran strikes US forces in four countries in retaliation for American attacks

Iran announced it had struck US forces in Oman, Qatar, Jordan and Kuwait, calling the attacks retaliation for prior American air strikes. The US strikes were themselves a response to Iranian attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The cycle of retaliatory strikes marks a sharp escalation in tensions between the two countries across the Middle East.

Were the US strikes on Iran a justified response to attacks on shipping?

"Le Grand Arc" – ambitions beyond the director's reach

"Le Grand Arc" (2025), directed by Stéphane Demoustier, fits comfortably within the mainstream of French cinema both thematically and stylistically. The review suggests Demoustier is not a particularly distinctive voice and that the film does not rise above the average of French productions. The work is described as a solid but unremarkable entry in national cinema.

Does solid but unremarkable French cinema deserve wide international distribution?

Gothenburg: Sweden's largest port hiding nuclear secrets and underground bases

Gothenburg, founded in the 17th century, is Scandinavia's largest seaport and Sweden's second most populous city with over half a million residents. The city hides remarkable military secrets, including the history of Sweden's nuclear weapons programme and fighter jets concealed in rock-hewn underground bases. It is a unique destination for history buffs and military enthusiasts alike.

Should Sweden's military secrets be fully disclosed to the public?

One in four workers stays in touch with the boss on holiday — and returns more tired

New research shows that one in four employees plans to stay in contact with their employer during their holiday, while nearly half begin preparing for their return to work before the holiday even ends. Experts warn that this "standby mode" prevents genuine rest and recovery. As a result, many workers return from holiday more exhausted than when they left.

Should employers be banned from contacting employees during their annual leave?

China tests truck-mounted electromagnetic drone catapult that needs no runway

China's Beijing Institute of Technology released footage of three eight-wheeled trucks interlocking to form a road-mobile electromagnetic catapult capable of launching a propeller-driven drone without a runway. The system miniaturises the EMALS technology already used on China's newest aircraft carrier. Transported in standard shipping containers, it could theoretically be deployed anywhere in the world.

Orlen not negotiating Schwedt refinery purchase due to risk of Russian control

Poland's state assets minister Wojciech Balczun confirmed in response to a parliamentary question that Orlen is not currently negotiating the purchase of the Schwedt refinery or a stake in German company PCK Schwedt. The risk of Russian control over the asset is hampering any potential deal. Schwedt is a strategically important German refinery that has historically been heavily tied to Russian oil supplies.

Should Orlen pursue the Schwedt refinery acquisition despite the risk of Russian control?

Trout: a healthy, low-bone freshwater fish worth eating more of

Trout is one of the cleanest and most prized freshwater fish available in Poland, featuring tender, firm flesh with very few bones. It is easy to prepare and cook, making it ideal for everyday meals. Nutritionally, it is a rich source of protein and healthy fatty acids, comparable to or better than salmon.

Is trout a better choice than salmon?

The car was put through its paces on various roads near Barcelona, including a check of the engineers' claim of exceptional cabin quietness at 130 km/h. The tester describes the drive as enjoyable and nostalgic, evoking the spirit of the original R4.

The option was weighed before they decided to fight the SEC lawsuit filed against Ripple in 2020. Ultimately both chose to contest the case in court rather than dissolve the company.

Anders in 1945: a 100,000-strong corps and hopes of war with the USSR

In 1945, General Władysław Anders commanded a 100,000-strong Polish corps and deliberately delayed its demobilisation, hoping for a conflict between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union. Polish forces were expected to play a key role if the Soviets advanced through the Adriatic. Those hopes proved illusory, and communist authorities stripped Anders of his Polish citizenship just one year after the war ended.

Was Anders right to delay the demobilisation of his corps after 1945?

Essential tools for your bicycle repair kit — at home and on the road

Every bike owner will eventually need to carry out repairs, either at home or during a ride. A home toolkit should include tools for gear adjustment, tyre changes and chain lubrication, while a road kit needs patches, a pump and multi-tools. Having the right equipment on hand saves time and money on workshop visits.
