The UAE bought $2B of Trump’s crypto — and gets computer chips

Saudi Arabia gave Kushner $2B for a new Trump Tower — and gets weapons

Qatar gives Trump a private jet and a $5.5B real estate deal — and gets US military protection

This is how bribes work.

NATO SecGen: “We are so much stronger than the Russians that we don’t need to shoot down their planes when they enter our airspace. If we were weak, we might need to prove ourselves immediately. But if there's no threat, a measured response clearly signaling our displeasure is a much stronger move.”

vor 70-80 Jahren, hätten wir uns längst komplett zugrunde gerichtet. Diese Art von Fortschritt muss ressourceneffizient beschleunigt werden! Unökonomische - sprich ineffiziente - Lösungswege sind ebenso Teil des Problems. Wir würden für nichts und wieder nichts Wohlstand einbüßen.

Yet another member of far-right (extremist) German AfD party with contacts to a Chinese spy.

The guy visited a diamond factory in China - soon after, the partner of his mother, with whom he legally shares a flat, started setting up companies for trading with diamonds. Nothing to see here.

This is highly remarkable. Chinese anti drone system in Norway collapses for hours, right at the moment of sightings.

China needs to be excluded from critical infrastructure. Most likely easier said than done, but it literally is a question of survival.

🚨Amazing:
🇳🇴 Norway’s drone detection system protecting Oslo Airport comes from 🇨🇳 Chinese company DJI Aeroscope, with system updates coming directly from DJI in China.

Unexpectedly that 🇨🇳 system was down for a full 19h from the evening of September 22nd, which is why the airport had to be closed.

Sobering words from the German intelligence services - “We must not sit back and assume that a possible Russian attack would come in 2029 at the earliest. We are already under fire today.”

For deterrence now we must take the necessary decisions now.

"China has observers, not in occupied Ukraine, but they're right on the other side of the borders in Russian command posts, just sitting there, observing and learning.

And I note with sadness that we are not... in Ukrainian command posts, doing the same thing."
