Currently reading @… 's book on the logic of war. It's excellent and badly needs translating to English (and other languages). But with the benefit of hindsight, it's hard to see this description on the scrapping of Danish submarines among other military infrastructure by politicians as anything other than extremely naive..

Can a war between Russia and NATO really happen within the next few years? Recently there have been several warnings from politicians and high-level military leaders. In this video I discuss what on earth they are talking about, and what such a war might look like. And I think it's an important discussion, because the risk is bigger than many people assume.

This is the most American thing I've ever seen, and I kinda love it.

The Russian government has become far more successful at manipulating social media and search engine rankings than previously known,
boosting lies about Ukraine’s military and the side effects of vaccines with hundreds of thousands of fake online accounts, according to documents recently leaked on the chat app Discord.
The Russian operators of those accounts boast that they are detected by social networks only about 1 percent of the time, one document says.

It's simple, the moment Trump is elected the NATO territory is in grave danger because nobody believes Trump as commander-in-chief will defend for example the Baltics when attacked by Russia. Without certain and assured support by the US , NATO lacks the military power to defend itself against a possible Russian agression. Even just threatening with it, is enough for Russia to get it's way then.
