💯 I also find interesting the decision to go full on the crusades. I mean, two days ago was Lepanto's aniversary, and 0 comments. On the other hand, the record is real good. Marcel Pérès work on rescuing early music is incredible.

The question is that europe does not have any company that requires the smallest node at quantity. Europe requires foundries to build the chips it designs. And mostly we are talking about automotive and industrial, not consumer.

A week or so ago there was much ado about tensions running high in North Eastern Europe. So I decided to look for material changes, namely flight hours by selected aircraft classes over North Eastern Europe. All except two point to everything being very normal last weeks. 🧵

Does this amount of rust affect very long-term hull integrity? If the rust does not meaningfully reduce the life cycle of the ship, it is only a reflection of the long deployment. As you mention, it is more relevant to the well-being of the ship's complement after such a long time.

The escalation management by the US and Europe has been a complete disaster. The frog is at boiling point and I feel the margin is nearing zero. A "hybrid" attack gone full kinetic, an overzealous SAM, any bad step and there is almost no room to manoeuvre.

If Ukraine was equipped with a non-insignificant number of our "out-dated" weapons either prior to the full-scale invasion or immediately after, it would not be struggling as much it is doing now. Ukraine is forced to innovate the hell out of its problems because of necessity.

I don't know what's worse, taking it seriously or disregarding it. I think more people in Europe need to read Trump's National Security Strategy, because it literally explains how Trump wants to undermine European institutions and create regime change in Western European liberal democracies.
