Putin did not want Finland in NATO, but they joined.
Putin did not want the EU to donate USD 54 billion to Ukraine, but we did.
Putin did not want Sweden in NATO, but later this month, Hungary too will approve Sweden's ascension in their national assembly.
And no matter what Putin wants, the US will in a few weeks agree on another USD 61 billion for Ukraine. With Mike Johnson, or with a new speaker of The House.
Because Putin has lost his power internationally, and it is not coming back.
Exactly why #Putin has organised this week's show of strength (Carlson interview, Navalny murder ...both on back of US Republican blockage of Ukraine aid). He knows his tenuous his situation is ...so he attacks to create divisions among the allies.
It's not a coincident he killed Navalny just as the Munich Security Conf began. He wants them in a panic, fighting over what to do next.
#mathober2023 - Day 6: WeakThis one was an interesting one - weak. I went with a weak snark - which led me down a rabbit hole of slides, papers, and whatnot.
The #republican party used to stand for #truth#justice and the American way. What has happened to them? When 6 out of 8 #candidates say they would support a 4 time indicted #criminal as #president what does that tell you about the #GOP. I get it, they are playing to #TFG base and if they reject that base they lose 34% of the vote. What they do not realize is the rest of #us see them as #unprincipled and #weak ppl who should never be near the levers of power bc they have no principles.
„Despite being widely used and relying on secret cryptography, TETRA had never been subjected to in-depth public security research in its 20+ year history as a result of this secrecy.“
But then again noone pays me to fix it, so it's not my problem.
Spoiler: The proper fix is to abolish all #proprietary shit and demand a fully #OpenSource'd communications system, since everything else violates #KerckhoffsPrinciple and is thus inherently and unfixably insecure by design!
