This situation is not going away - now may be the time for Danish authorities to consider next step to protect the integrity of the nation and align defense investments accordingly??

It seems the F35 program is not delivering what was planned (See attached article). responsiblestatecraft.org/f35-gao/ Is this a realistic picture, or is it being overly pessimistic about the F35 Joint Strike program? Comment please. @splidsboel.bsky.social @anderspucknielsen.dk

Just crazy stuff.. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/o... I suggest more people read “Fairy Tale” to know what is coming 😁

Just a suggestion to the Danish Defense procurement department 👌 (Thank you Arnold!)

Tesla’s shares dropped 14% on Thursday in New York, the stock’s biggest decline since March 10, as Elon Musk and Donald Trump feud devolved into a public war. The rout erased about $150 billion from the electric-vehicle maker’s market value

Thread, w obv relevance to the UK. “A new Eur security order is starting to take shape, as Trump is forcing the Eurs’ hand. Inclusion and exclusion in this new security order, as well as possible grey zones, may no longer be delineated by NATO membership, but rather along the borders of the EU.”

Very much worth reading, this piece by @catherinedevries.bsky.social. It’s vitally important that politicians start telling Europe’s citizens a coherent story about the challenges they will face as a result of the switch to a war economy.

Russia isn't winning, but they think so. Lykyanov explains the logic: “The continuation of the war, which we are slowly but surely winning, is in our interest. Especially considering that the main sponsor [the US] seems to be backing out … Why should we rush?” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Great work by @altmetric.com as always! Their latest analysis reveals that the quality of research content on #Bluesky is just as strong as on X/Twitter, with more original posts emerging. If you’re in academia or research, now is the time to make the switch! #AcademicSky #ResearchSky #Altmetrics

@anderspucknielsen.dk taler om Danmark uden NATO. Han ser en EU forsvarsalliance som det mest realistiske. Jeg tænker at vi kan lave noget lagdelt: En superintegreret nordisk forsvarsalliance indenfor en EU alliance. Med Norge og UK som bonus medlemmer. 1/ www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

Det virker en kende naivt af forsvarsministeren at henvise til et brev, der taler om respekt for dansk suverænitet samme dag som den amerikanske ledelse er i Grønland for netop at lægge pres på Danmark for at afgive suverænitet. politiken.dk/danmark/poli...

This is surreal. American govt officials have been knocking on peoples doors in Nuuk, Greenland during recent days to see if locals would like to be visited by the vice president's wife. Everywhere the answer was the same: "No, thank you" nyheder.tv2.dk/live/2025-01...

But: There's a pretty glaring error in here. Google Threat Analysis Group did not warn that Signal encryption had been compromised but that the Russians had developed techniques to trick users into linking their Signal accounts to attacker-controlled devices.

Great interview on the current situation in Ukraine. Interesting points by @anderspucknielsen.dk regarding nuclear non-proliferation. My feeling is that if Canada does not deploy a deterrent it would be close to criminal negligence on the part of our government. www.youtube.com/live/xe2TP_e...

En filminstruktør og Oscar-vinder bliver angrebet af israelske bosættere. Derefter bliver han taget af det israelske militær. Er han nu “fange”, ikke et “gidsel”? politiken.dk/kultur/art10...

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him. Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

Vi må konkludere, at danske politikere vægter deres egne stemmetal over dansk digital uafhængighed, så længe de fortsat bruger X og FB som primære kanaler👇

This does not bode well for next round of peace talks. Now is the time to show there is substance in European support to 🇺🇦 - right now! www.politico.eu/article/mili...

Looks a bit staged, but it's an important message to get out: Ukraine has a strong European alternative if Trump continues taking Russia's side in negotiations.

Republicans at a GOP town hall in Spokane, Washington, raised the Canadian flag and called on Trump to be impeached. #3E

Putin plays Trump like a fiddle!

Exactly

Europe needs to become totally self-reliant in defense within the next three to five years to deter a "very aggressive" Russia that may otherwise attack an EU country, Danish PM Mette Frederiksen told us.

How should Europe structure its response to the threats coming from the White House and elsewhere? Together with @marcobuti.bsky.social, Roel Beetsma & Kalin Jansve, we developed a plan @bruegel.bsky.social ⤵️ www.bruegel.org/analysis/thi...

Or look at Russia and Ukraine. @sarotte.bsky.social reports in her wonderful book 'Not One Inch' on James Baker's prescient response to a Gorbachev advisor regarding the prospect of a war between Russia and independent Ukraine in 1991. The seemingly unthinkable can be quite normal indeed. 12/n

Just hoping not to a Russian

For Europe, we need to keep this peace negotiation 🎭 going for as long as possible. The objective is to minimize the gap between 🇺🇸 pulling the plug for support to 🇺🇦 indefinitely and Europe being able to step in.

Everything this fucking guy does benefits Putin.
