Kleindrohnen als hybride Bedrohung sind nicht "neu", so wie das Internet und Soziale Netzwerke nicht "neu" sind. Wie langsam und altbacken wollen wir sein? Sensornetzwerke aufzubauen, die Drohnen bei kritischen Infrastrukturen systematisch erfassen können, ist kein Hexenwerk.

Remember: When #Ukraine is fighting for their survival, they do not 'escalate'. That is technically impossible. What the defender does is 'defend'. Only the attacker can 'escalate'. The peaceniks, like Samuel Charap, have blood on their hands by misplacing the responsibility for the war.

To my surprise, the @financialtimes.com published my response to Valdai Sam’s pathetic equivocations. 🇺🇦’s growing ability to resist russian aggression is not an obstacle to peace. The obstacle is russia’s belief that further violence may still deliver greater rewards. www.ft.com/content/bf6a...

Russian terrorism is creeping into Europe, continuously escalating, while European leaders keep insisting they are not at war. When Russia thinks they are at war with us, it doesn’t matter what we think, because war is the reality.

"There is no one more cowardly, vile, and utterly pathetic than Putin." A resident of Vladivostok called on Russians to appeal to the Ukrainian government and to anyone "who can help free Russia from the despicable regime that has seized the country and held onto power for a quarter of a century."

A Russian missile leaves a crater in Poland—inside NATO territory—and the response is muted. This report asks the uncomfortable question: what lesson does the Kremlin take from that? youtube.com/watch?v=PBB2... @caolanrob.bsky.social

Free weeked update is out. The big story this week was once again people had hope in Trump and once again that hope was delusional and served Putin's interest. The toll for this misplaced hope is being written in blood. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Just a reminder that since Laura Loomer announced her support for Ukraine, Trump has: 1) walked back a promise to let Ukraine build Patriots, 2) denied a ukrainian request for 300 PAC3s, 3) slow walked 400mil in congressionally approved aid for Ukraine. But the vibes were good!

"I've lost everyone.My parents.My brothers&sisters.My son..." Ukrainian Defender Danylo Voronov lost his entire family in a Russian strike on Radushne,Dnipropetrovsk region At the moment a Russian ballistic missile hit their home,his parents,7 brothers&sisters,his 1.5-yr-old son,Artem,were inside

The situation is crystal clear: #Russia, #China, #DPRK and #Iran is working together as a team. On the Western side only #Ukraine and #Europe is working together. The #US under #Trump has lost its way completely and doesn’t understand who the enemy is. That is why Russia still is not defeated.

Anton Gerashchenko@antongerashchenko.bsky.social · 6d ago

It is becoming increasingly obvious that Russia's war in Ukraine can no longer be viewed as a purely regional conflict. The theater of military operations is closely linked politically and technologically within the system of rivalry between global players, in particular the US and China⤵️

Putin called, said “kompromat” and hung up. Trump walked back his promise. The White House is controlled by Moscow, and the spineless Republicans support their leader taking orders from a war criminal foreigner. History will remember all of these acolytes in eternal shame for centuries to come.

Anders Puck Nielsen@anderspucknielsen.dk · 6d ago

Did Putin call?

Ukraine should hold them hostage, forcing Russia to end the war. “Stop the war, or we kill your favorite acolytes!”

New Midweek Update Out (mostly free). The US is weakening itself every day with this war against Iran. It is running down weapons stocks, degrading US institutions, alienating allies and strengthening China. Iranian strategy is proving itself superior. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

„This really is a crucial moment. The firing of Fedorov, if it is allowed to stand along with the keeping of Syrskyi, will not mean that Ukraine will lose the war. However it will mean higher casualties, more corruption, less flexibility and more Soviet style thinking. I can think of nothing worse.“

Phillips OBrien@phillipspobrien.bsky.social · 3w ago

Hi All, free weekend update out. The big story is the Fedorov dismissal. That made this the worst week for Ukraine in years. However, stories are circulating that he might be back and Syrskyi could be on his way out. Can the worst week transform into the best week? open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

"So, in between one vague declaration of love [theater of the absurd - dixit OBrien], Trump made three explicit threats against a NATO country over three days before, during, and after the Ankara summit. This is by far the bigger story."

Phillips OBrien@phillipspobrien.bsky.social · 4w ago

Just sent out this post. The Ankara Summit was, contrary to the reports, the worst NATO summit in history. It was so bad there might not be another while Trump is president. Here are the reasons why, and it is not pretty. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Btw, has Trump made any actual move to grant a license to Ukraine to build any part of a Patriot system? Has he confirmed anything in writing? Has Congress been asked to approve?

Ukraine is part of Europe. Russia launched its criminal invasion of Ukraine and now expects no one to fight back. That's absurd. By defending ourselves, Ukraine is also defending Europe against Russian aggression.

I wish just one NATO leader (or all of them) would say, "This is unacceptable. The US president has lost his mind. America come get your boy. He's broken and needs to be under a doctor's care back home." I wish someone would tell the damn truth about what's happening.

He's still much better at sports than he is at presidenting. #FIFA-Fiasco

Dr. Mar@boldnewme.bsky.social · 4w ago

America didn’t just lose a World Cup match. We lost credibility. A President personally intervened with FIFA over a disciplinary decision and created the appearance that political power could influence the rules of the game. The reputational cost was far greater than the sporting cost.

It is amazing and depressing how often Trump has ridden to Putin's aid since becoming President. Just some of his actions include: 1) Cutting off all US military and economic aid for Ukraine 2) Slow walking vital military sales to Ukraine 3) Rehabilitating Putin by inviting him to the USA .

President Zelenskyy: Every pure heart in the world expects only one thing from Ukraine - that we defeat this Russian scum.

Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov: "We know that in terms of funding and manpower, we cannot be larger than Russia. But thanks to our asymmetry and constant search for new technological solutions, we will keep winning - and ultimately, we will win."

You asked me to find some positive news from #Ukraine for you. I found some! The bottom of the Kakhovka Reservoir, which was drained after Russians destroyed the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant dam, is now covered with willows that have already grown 7-9 meters tall.

Yesterday, Putin issued a threat against Ukraine’s European allies, calling for an "analysis" of each country’s involvement in every Ukrainian operation "in order to possibly make responsible decisions in the future, if necessary."⤵️

I have been making a similar point for some years: if Putin says Russia is at war with NATO, it doesn't matter if NATO says it isn't at war with Russia: they are at war. How you fight the war is a different matter, but if you keep pretending you're at peace, you're in trouble.
