Western Europe needs to be prepared to replace NATO with a European Treaty Organisation. It's looking increasingly likely Trump will win the presidency. Europe must be able to defend itself from Russian aggression without the US's help.
Western Europe spends more on defence than Russia. We have coordinated militarily as part of NATO for over 50 years. This is achievable.
Ukraine is a signal of how Russia sees its future in Europe. Farage would like nothing more than to be the UK's Lukashenko.

Ich lebe nicht in der EU aber bin gespannt ob die Erkenntnis irgendwelche und dann in welche Richtung dies Auswirkungen hat und dies über die EU heraus.

Unpopular opinion on software development
Yesterday, I came across CI cultists.
They were preaching one should merge in main multiple times a day.
Quite frankly, I associate this behaviour to lab rats compulsively clicking the button to get gratifications (please don't do that to rats).
I think developers should refrain from becoming merge junkies. Code review is essential for good code quality. Automated tests suck at detecting logical errors, security vulnerabilities, and even decent code coverage.
Also, I believe pair programming is absolutely not a strategy to allow continuous integration. Everybody involved in the development process is drunk on their own bullshit reasons they made up to justify their poor design. Either the code review should be done by someone else, or the developers should sober up for a fortnight before code reviewing their own code.
PS: I am a software developer. I get drunk on my own bullshit as well.

Ukraine is not just about Ukraine. It is about Russian dominance in Europe. As the US's influence is about to wane, Russia wants to take its place.
If Europe wants to remain free, it needs to stand up to Russian influence and aggression. Otherwise we will all be run by Russian puppets.
I hope the talks taking place in Blenheim Palace today lays the foundations for a totally European replacement for NATO. The US can no longer be relied on.

Mir fehlt die Verbindung der zwei Strategien. Einerseits die Anerkennung der Pazifisten (zu denen ich mich selbst zähle), dass es Fälle gibt (und der Russland-Ukraine Krieg ist ein Beispiel dafür), wo rein pazifistisch friedensfördernde Massnahmen nicht ausreichen. Auf der anderen Seite kann die reine militärische Aufrüstung keine nachhaltig friedensstiftende/-sichernde Massnahme sein.
