„Geändert hat sich auch das Meinungsbild dazu, ob ‚wir in Zukunft mehr Wirtschaftswachstum brauchen, auch wenn das die Umwelt belastet‘. Eine große Mehrheit der Befragten (66 Prozent) widersprach dieser Aussage zuletzt. Aber der Anteil jener, die Wirtschaftswachstum notfalls vor Umweltschutz stellen, hat sich seit 2022 um neun Prozentpunkte erhöht.“

"Like many, I never really lost the inner nine-year-old who rejoices at the sight of armed soldiers marching in lockstep"...maaaate, don't admit that on page 25!
Yes, you had the grace to admit you've never experienced war, but how the f*** do you expect readers to react?
Is this what comes of being published by a military history/games publisher (Osprey)? Insufficiently critical editing?
Is this a common sentiment? It's 100% not mine
I'm reading Putin's Wars: From Chechnya to Ukraine by Mark Galeotti

I finally deleted my Twitter account. Created in 2010, got a lot of security news value out of it until around 2022. Then something happened and I created an account on Mastodon and stopped posting at Twitter. Now the value became clearly negative, even for holding an old, inactive account.

Big thanks to @… for having me on his podcast. While I never actually went to Ottawa (though I have visited!), it has been quite a journey since landing on the Fedi in 2022.

Also, I am just one person. There are, thankfully, a whole bunch of people trying to accomplish the same goal!
