There should be international consensus on the number of satellites allowed globally at Starlink altitudes, per country. If there is oversaturation by any one country, the excess should be shot down. 🤷

“Crimea was invaded by russia due to the impeachement of the Viktor Yanukovych” - Russia is not Ukraine’s policeman.
“It was […] a means of incentivizing ukraine to reconnect with Russia as an ally” - OK so you’re a bot, right? You invade countries & murder their citizens because you want them as an “ally”! :blobamused:

@Garfunkel @Hanrahan
I do agree with Sachs in his general view of US hegemony, in Ukraine & elsewhere, but his apparent justification for Russia invading Ukraine has no basis whatsoever imo. If anything, Russia’s belligerence has simply legitimised the Russophobia behind the increased membership of NATO (which has not posed, and constitutionally could not pose, any military danger to Russia).

@Buffalox
Yes. I’ve been calling on the EU for years to build independence and resilience in everything from tech to finance to energy to security – from the US in particular. The problem is, it took a shock like Trump to get them to start building these when it could take years, or even decades, to get done. In the meantime they remain vulnerable to any US tantrum (or Russian madness, as we have seen with energy dependence).

@Buffalox
I agree with all of that.
But as I say, it’s an inch toward what it should be. (Granted, Trump is a mile off in the other direction.)
And as yet we have no idea yet who might run from the “good” side in 2028, and on what policy platform other than the standard, safe, promises.

@CAVOK
Or Palestine.

@Buffalox @CAVOK
Tbh, I’m not even hoping.
Lots of support for & virals around Obama, but remember, he also sent $billions to Israel.
EVERYone in Congress is corrupted or corruptible.

@HaraldvonBlauzahn
And clearly it was missing here. 😉

This is what #IOT will bring to everyone!!

Nuke Israel on behalf of Iran? 🤔

@jdr @alcoholicorn
Putin is a bit like the 4th contender for replacement, Bibi, in that he needs his war to keep going to protect his job.
Trump clearly thinks he needs one too.
I’m sure Zelenskyy would be happy to no longer be President but needs peace & a full electoral complement to justify calling an election.

@supersquirrel
Substitute “farming fears” with “Putin alliance”.

@atro_city
Why wait till 2040?!! No-one has any idea what the world will look like in 2040!!

@susieq0044 @schizoidman
Putin has already lost 1.5 million soldiers.
That is a lesson that German youth are taking.

@tomi000 @HowRu68
I will often pitch in (just the once, with “#Links?” & “#Sources?”) when I see lies, gross exaggerations or, most frequently “Breaking news”/“Just in” that doesn’t cite sources or posts years-old “news”.
And unfortunately, I see it coming from across the political spectrum.
It’s true that the Right generally don’t care as long as the lie fits their position/prejudice, while the Left generally feel scammed when they find they’ve been led up the garden path by their own side.

I hit that block almost every week!
Especially when backing up email in MS that is saved under the Subject name, which can be very long.

@jqubed @woelkchen
Bulgaria could just create (& own) the .bu domain, put all govt web on .bu & offer free transfer from any other .bg to .bu. No need to buy out .bg at all.

@thanksforallthefish @birdwing
The EU are planning the “digital euro” as an alternative to the US stranglehold on international finance, but this will take YEARS to build, if ever!!
And there is so much more they need to protect, inc the entire EU-based web.
In any case, The World needs a secure, independent alternative to ICANN, before it goes rogue.

@TheBrideWoreCrimson @CountVlad47
They’re all cults. Trump, Reform/Farage, Le Pen, etc.
The flimsiest of any rational reason to vote for them, doesn’t matter, it’s the hate & the blame, particularly of groups that can’t answer back or defend themselves. That infuses a deep, intoxicating & irresistible feeling of power & invincibility.

@HieroProtagonist
No.
