No country should buy Swiss weapons before they change this policy. The ability to transfer weapons to each other in times of need has proven to be a strategic requirement.

@anderspuck especially no NATO country.

At least one can reliably not rely on Swiss arms in time of need.

The big problem with Tesla that this article misses completely is that many of Tesla's most enthusiastic customers (like I once was) no longer want to support a person who is actively promoting hateful conspiracy theories and providing nazis and Russians with a platform to disrupt the upcoming U.S. election.

@mike @ac I would say it's priced in with the decline in market share... Which will only accelerate outside the US with the emergence of BYD and other Chinese EV manufacturers.

The European commission might establish tariffs for these Chinese manufacturers (akin to the US). But in order to be effective these might need to be as high as 55%. Which a) is unrealistic and b) shows how cheap EVs might become in the next few years.

Now that Ukraine's shortage of weapons and ammunition is about to get solved, there is increased attention on the two other big problems on the frontline: Lack of fortifications and a manpower deficit.

In this edition of the Logic of War newsletter I discuss these two problems. Since I won't be publishing a regular video on YouTube this week, I decided to make access free for all on this one. https://www.logicofwar.com/ukranies-three-big-problems/

@anderspuck lack of fortifications reminds me also of the French in WWI. They saw the trenches as temporary and didn't want to admit to the public that they would need them for a long time.

Also as far as I know the Ukrainian army expected -at least until the fortification program - their troops to dig and maintain their own trenches. Whilst the russians have their own detachments for it.

This really seems underreported, presumably because it’s a Russian assault on NATO infrastructure, and no one wants to admit we’re at war?

Russia accused of GPS jamming after aircraft disrupted

Finnair suspended flights to the Estonian city of Tartu after GPS signal interference prevented two planes from landing. Estonia and Lithuania have blamed Russia for jamming GPS signals in the region.

@kravietz @j2bryson @vfrmedia for western Europe it's also hybris, over reliance on economic ties. And in view of Germany guilt and forgiveness.

And tbh russia just wasn't important enough and seen as an ally against Islamism.
