@ErikJonker@GossiTheDog don’t forget to mention the last proposal of #belgium of the client side scanning idea. It’s a disaster for your privacy and dangerous because you can be hit by false positives. Try then to prove your innocence. #css#eu and note it’s not only images but also text. #police are already claiming they want that data too.
Here's a round up of the first season of Dot Social. It's been incredible to dive deep into the fediverse with some of the people who are shaping its future.
Heartbreaking.
Zelensky: ""The Tripilska power plant, electricity in the Kiev region depends on it. Eleven missiles were headed towards it. The first seven we took down. Four destroyed Tripilska. Why? Because we had zero missiles. We ran out of all missiles." #Ukraine
@ErikJonker we #eu#uk and #usa are not committed seriously to support #ukraine it comes all to late and not enough. We will pay a hard price in the bear future.
Het blijft fascinerend, ondanks alle turbulentie bestaat en functioneert de bitcoin blockchain nog steeds, niet als gedroomd breed gebruikt betaal product maar het lijkt een blijvertje #bitcoin#blockchain
“If there is no U.S. support, it means that we have no air defense, no Patriot missiles, no jammers for electronic warfare, no 155-milimeter artillery rounds,” he said. “It means we will go back, retreat, step by step, in small steps.”
So with a very high probability it was Islamic State (IS) that organised the terrorist attack in Moscow, that means Russian propaganda/disinformation needs to go in overdrive to link Ukraine in anyway and divert attention from Putin who was not able to secure his own people in his capital. #geopolitics@geopolitics#russia#moscow#IS#terrorism#putin
The confessions of the perpetrators in Moscow sound familiar, in the same way hits are organized in the Netherlands, using Telegram, cuit-outs, expendable people. Motivation is clearly money it seems. Literally anybody could be behind it but applying Ockham's razor, IS /ISIS is most likely. But it's also clear Putin has many reasons to try to connect Ukraine with it. Also in Russia no fair and independent investigation is possible. #Russia#Moscow#ISIS#geopolitics#terrorism@geopolitics
@ErikJonker@geopolitics we just have to wait. Independent researchers are working on it a think. But #ukraine has no benefit from such action. My suggestion, why has the roof collapsed so quickly with fire on the 2nd and 3nd floor. Could that be done while four shooters are present. #insidejob we will see.

Onderwijs staat niet op het lijstje bij de formerende partijen terwijl de kwaliteit achteruit gaat en investeringen nodig zijn, maar gaat niet gebeuren gok ik, want voor populistische partijen is bezuinigen op onderwijs aantrekkelijk, niet zo snel zichtbaar. #wilders#politiek#onderwijs
Er bestaat het idee dat omdat Poetin op dit moment nog niet de ambitie en mogelijkheid heeft een NAVO-land binnen te vallen, maakt dat we ons niet teveel zorgen moeten maken. Tegelijk zien de baltische staten (ook NAVO-lidstaten) dat compleet anders, Rusland beschouwt ze ook als onderdeel van het grotere russische rijk. Met Trump aan de macht zal Rusland zeker in staat zijn de baltische staten in te lijven, Trump zal daar geen kernoorlog voor starten. #politiek#rusland#NAVO#Poetin
Radek Sikorski, minister of foreign affairs of Poland on X:
"Let’s be clear on this: when a commentator or a politician calls for ‚peace’ and simultaneously advocates denying the victim of aggression the means to defend herself they actually mean that the victim should capitulate.
Such Chamberlainism usually covers baser motives."
Harsh but true words. He is talking about Scholz for example. #geopolitics@geopolitics#Ukraine#Sikorski
Russians staying in Sri Lanka have showed their gratitude by creating a number of “whites only" night clubs, denying access to local Sri Lankans. So Sri Lankan authorities now decided to help the racists by telling all 288,000 Russians in Sri Lanka to take the next flight back to good old Moscow, where the average skin color is more to their liking.
Russian leaders after Putin will conclude his actions have led to an enlarged and stronger NATO. Sweden and Finland provide strategic depth also especially Finland has a very strong military. The baltic sea has become a NATO lake. Strategically Putin is already a failure. #Geopolitics#Russia#NATO@geopolitics

@ErikJonker@geopolitics@APHClarkson don’t forget the polish army. Well trained. Big investments in the army. And motivated because they know the threat of a hungry #russia#poland. The #netherlands are still waiting that #ukraine will defeat #russia so they have to do little investment in their own army.
A german leader who doesn't allow a free democracy to defend itself against russian agression.
Ukraine has every right to use weapons (short or long range) to defend itself, apparently howitzers are fine but cruise missiles are not. Ukraine must fight with hands tied.
Russia has no limitations in weapons delivered to it, striking from large distances , destroying civilian targets. He weakens NATO actively doing this.. #Ukraine#Russia#Germany#Scholz#Taurus#NATO@geopolitics#geopolitics
