Das war auch meine Idee... Atomares Sponsoring für +2 SSBN und im Gegenzug ein völkerrechtlicher Vertrag zwischen 🇩🇪🤝🇫🇷 das ein Atomschlag auf 🇩🇪 einen 🇫🇷 Gegenschlag auslöst. Das schafft für den Gegner genug Unsicherheit und steigert die 🇫🇷 Salvengröße.
Brauchen wir jetzt die Bombe? Wenn Autokraten die Welt aufteilen, muss man Atommacht sein, um nicht mit aufgeteilt zu werden.
Zeit für Europas Bombe. Am besten mit 🇫🇷 & 🇬🇧. Und manche sagen: Notfalls, wenn die zögern, auch 🇩🇪 allein.

@Leopard24theWin@VorgBeob Was befremdlich ist. So wie ich die Zahlen im Kopf habe, hatte Westdeutschland gegen Ende des Kalten Krieges mehr Kampffahrzeuge als Frankreich 🤔
The US has started banning Europeans from using their latest AI models.
The EU needs sovereign models that compete, otherwise we will be cut off.
Mistral is perfectly positioned to deliver, European governments must choose it, and help it thrive with less burdensome rules.
It speaks to the deeply rooted insecurity at the heart of American exceptionalism that a guy glazing McMansions and fast food slop explodes into a cultural phenomenon overnight and gets paraded around even by government officials.
Something like this would never work in, for example, France. A French chauvinist knows he is superior. He does't need external validatation for this knowledge. Why should he? Everyone else is inferior, their opinions are worthless.
According to Axios, citing classified intelligence products shared with the news outlet, Cuba has acquired 300 drones from Russia and Iran since 2023 and has concept operations (CONOP) on the books where they would be used to target U.S. installations and vessels at Key West and Guantanamo Bay.
Per the report “officials don't believe Cuba is an imminent threat, or actively planning to attack American interests. But U.S intelligence indicates the island's military officials have been discussing drone warfare plans in case hostilities erupt as relations with the U.S. continue to deteriorate.”
Part of the reason #FCAS / #SCAF blew up so violently is that Germany insisted on technology transfers for the German companies.
Which, funnily enough, is because they're behind on tech development compared to Dassault, and Germany wanted Airbus to catch up.
The year is 2028.

Oil jumps 3%.
Then falls 4%.
Trump says the deal is being signed at the request of Pakistan and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, who Trump describes as “one of the great generals, maybe the greatest, people are saying.”
A senior official says we’re “closer than ever.”
A different senior official says “significant gaps remain.”
They work in the same office.
The next round of talks is scheduled for next weekend.
It will also be described as a breakthrough.
Qatar thanks Pakistan for its important role and takes credit for the progress.
The United Kingdom has the geopolitical aspirations of a global power, faces direct security challenges in its own region, and has the political will to fund the military means for neither.
Eine Weltmacht macht sich lächerlich und schwächt sich selbst. Das ist die Logik von Kneipenschlägern. Mit dem Einsatz von Militär zur Erreichung politischer Zwecke hat das nichts zu tun. Dafür wird das Militär von diesen Amateuren auch nicht eingesetzt.
