O Paquistão usou 100% de armas chinesas e transformou em sucata cinco dos melhores aviões de guerra ocidentais e russos da Índia.
Eles voaram com Rafales franceses, drones israelenses, MiGs russos e mísseis SCALP... e nenhum deles conseguiu voltar para casa. Zero.
Primeiro abate de um Rafale? Cortesia de Pequim. Espero que a Dassault tenha mandado flores.
As ações da Dassault caíram, os investidores ocidentais entraram em pânico e as ações de defesa chinesas dispararam 18% em um dia. Aparentemente, os jatos chineses baratos podem realmente ser mais poderosos do que um bird da OTAN de US$ 100 milhões. Quem sabia? A China sabia😄
Enquanto isso, em Tel Aviv: modo de pânico existencial ativado (quando é que isso nunca aconteceu?)
A mídia israelense está "oficialmente preocupada" porque adivinhe quem também possui esses mesmos sistemas de defesa chineses? O Egito.
Sim, o mesmo Egito que acabou de voar com JF-17s chineses sobre as pirâmides em exercícios conjuntos com a China. Mazel Tov😉.
O que acabou de acontecer não foi uma briga regional. Foi um anúncio global: A tecnologia militar ocidental não é intocável. E Israel? Talvez pare de se preocupar com as armas nucleares do Irã e comece a se preocupar com os mísseis chineses estacionados na porta ao lado? Ou talvez não se preocupe... para que possamos ter uma surpresa agradável de vez em quando?
Bem-vindo à nova era.
Impulsionada pela China. Com o pânico do Ocidente.

I am amazed, for I completely missed this one:

Always considered "Cosmic Conspiracy" to be maybe /the/ most underrated piece of music the German death metal subculture ever managed to come up with. Apparently the band somehow reunited in 2023 and re-released that album (pay-what-you-want, no minimum) via bandcamp. And ... there's even a website talking about upcoming new stuff. Would be interesting. For sure.

Die Binnengrenzkontrollen von Dobrindt sind rechtswidrig - Volksverpetzer
Die von Dobrindt angeordneten Grenzkontrollen an den Binnengrenzen sind rechtswidrig, erklärt der Recht-Professor Hruschka.Gastbeitrag (Volksverpetzer)
Lord Caramac the Clueless, KSC reshared this.
Dobrindt hat bei der #Maut schon gezeigt, dass ihm #Recht und #Gesetz egal sind.
Er und Söder haben die ganze Zeit gesagt, dass sie sich nicht daran halten wollen.
Dadurch, dass M€rz ihn zum Innenminister ernannt (und diverse Ministerien an Wirtschaftsvertreter vergeben) hat, hat er bewiesen, dass Gesetze künftig ausschließlich dazu dienen sollen, die Bevölkerung zu gängeln.
Preisfrage: Wann bezeichnen wir #BlackRot als die autoritäre Oligarchentruppe die sie sind?

🇷🇺 Russia's demands at the talks are unrealistic and go far beyond what was previously discussed, Reuters reports citing a Ukrainian diplomatic source.
Moscow is reportedly demanding that Ukraine withdraw troops from what it calls "its territory" to agree to a ceasefire — among other new conditions.

Kann jemand eine #privacy-freundliche #Schrittzähler App für #Android empfehlen, die ohne Smartwatch/Fitness Uhr funktioniert? Suche für meinen Papa, der mag beim handwerken aber keine Uhr tragen. Muss auch nicht super akkurat sein, Richtwerte würden ihm schon reichen.
Apps von #fdroid bevorzugt, aber Play Store geht auch, solange die App Open Source ist. Deutsches Interface wäre nice.

'Great is justice. It is in the soul.'
Old words from Walt Whitman.
“Great is Justice; Justice is not settled by legislators and laws…it is in the soul.
It cannot be varied by statutes any more than love or pride or the attraction of gravity can, It is immutable… it does not depend on majorities… majorities or what not come at last before the same passionless and exact tribunal.
There is significant evidence that Grok actually inserted information about “white genocide” in South Africa into prompts that didn't appear to be related to this topic.

A bandeira da Índia tem três faixas horizontais: saffron (laranja) na parte superior, branca no meio e verde na parte inferior, com um Ashoka Chakra (roda azul) no centro da faixa branca. A bandeira do Paquistão tem duas faixas verticais: branca na parte de trás e verde na frente, com uma lua crescente e uma estrela branca no centro da faixa verde. Entre as bandeiras, há uma barreira de arame farpado, simbolizando uma fronteira ou conflito entre os dois países.
