People are really full of themselves, aren’t they?

Europe is missing the AI revolution

Alec Bertina We have some excellent capabilities, including for air defence. As you say, not enough of them. And 2.5% isn’t going to buy much more.

This alongside talk of hypersonic missiles makes one forget the UK only has increased its military budget to 2.5% (an increase of 0.5%), mainly through cutting civil service funding. Given a lack of fieldable capabilities, maybe people shouldn't get ahead of themselves?

Again, the Biden Admin waives sanctions on energy transactions w/ major Russian banks. This revenue fuels #Russia 's unjust war in #Ukraine . Meanwhile, the admin froze U.S. LNG exports & opposes strikes against Russian energy infrastructure. Biden's rhetoric doesn't match reality.

An interview with Gustav C. Gressel, one of the sharpest military analysts in Germany, and an Austrian no less!

After yesterday's deeply anti-Western speech, it is clear that it is not in the interest of Ivanishvili to progress 🇬🇪 into the family of free nations, but to bring the country back under the influence of the 🇷🇺 Empire. Will the freedom-loving people of 🇬🇪 really accept this?

Gabrielius Landsbergis🇱🇹 Georgian people are relentlessly fighting for their freedom. Please have a look at the footages from today’s demonstrations. They are risking their lives. But the West has to step up its game in their support and defeat Russia to enable democracy to flourish in the neighbourhood

I am heartbroken to hear Ivanishvili’s vision for Georgia’s future. I am devastated by this sudden change in relations with countries, including Lithuania, which have been Georgia's closest allies. It feels like we are losing a friend.🧵

Tbilisi right now. Despite the riot police forcefully and brutally dispersed the protesters several times, people returned on Rustaveli avenue waving Georgian and EU flags 🇬🇪🇪🇺 The courage and bravery of Georgians are truly remarkable!

crucially important fragment from the Timothy Snyder lecture for the U.S. diplomats about the fact that American establishment really REALLY let us, Ukrainians, down...

again, this is something I am telling for 3 consecutive years now, since early April 2021.

to no avail :(
