ML will find some way to tell us it’s just western propaganda. Link us to some random website about communism. Copy and paste government responses. And, use their favorite emoji. 🤡

"Recently, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has said Russia has long been waging not a covert but an open war against NATO countries. An OSCE report has revealed that since the start of the war in Ukraine, Russia has carried out approximately 150 attacks on NATO countries. These include cyberattacks on railways, hospitals, GPS systems, and water supplies. The report also highlights hacking, sabotage, and threats to military facilities and underwater infrastructure." Are these not acts of war? What acts of covert war is NATO doing in retaliation? There's some pretty significant interference in elections, too.

I know it's a metric shit ton more expensive, but looks like it's time to dig in some land-based cables all over the EU.

There already are, obviously. But intercontinental as well as to Norway or Iceland you are not going to just dig a trench.
