News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 27 [1110]

....um Barney, you know what happened to the civilians in Venezuela under Maduro for years now?

Did you somehow miss the most recent Peace Nobel Prize for the opposition leader?
María Corina Machado even thanked and asked for Trumps support.

How can you ignore the masses of refugees fleeing the country?

Yes, I know...the "revolution" in Venezuela has been a highlight for the global Left....but....it descended into an hellish abyss fairly quickly, as all leftist dreams have till now....there is a pattern here, Barney!

Wow! Thats what I would call "efficient", compared to any other long drawn out war of attrition....

Off-Topic / God and Religion Talk [454]

NDE's are totally fascinating, but even more so are OBE's...."out of body experiences"!

How can some neurological storm in the brain explain the experience to see ones body from a position it has no former experience to draw upon? To see and hear things in other places, this immobile, unconscious body isn't even in the vicinity of? To observe and even later report what happened around the body even as seid body should had been absolutely unable to?

Now such stuff can't be explained away with "things happening in the brain due stress or drugs"....

Cowardly bombing, no troops on the ground?

Why risking your soldiers when you can bomb the enemy into the ground?

....on the other hand....killing Maduro with some specialized troopers should be more efficient....I'm sure the people won't shed a tear for that dictator!

Come to think of that....I wonder why Ukraine hasn't tried something to that regard with Putin already.....

Low-flying aircraft spotted: Powerful explosions in Venezuela's capital

bild.de/news/starke-explosionen-erschuettern-venezuelas-hauptstadt-caracas-6958b6a6f6fc544dba9bade0

Caracas - Several powerful explosions rocked Venezuela's capital, Caracas, early Saturday morning (local time). Residents reported low-flying aircraft and at least seven detonations. There is reportedly no power in the southern part of Caracas, near a large military base.

According to an AFP journalist, the first explosions occurred around 2:00 a.m. (7:00 a.m. CET). The noise was still ongoing at 2:15 a.m. Another explosion was felt in Caracas at 2:38 a.m.

Images of large fires with plumes of smoke were posted on social media. However, it was not possible to determine the exact location of the images. The explosions apparently occurred in the south and east of the Venezuelan capital.

@Torqi

.....and that would be especially stupid as for the Chinese we "whites" are all Europeans...its impossible for them to differentiate between us, the same as for most of us they are more or less all Asians!

To split the bit of strength we have together into the old historical conflicts would be the end of us....

A Chinese prince might be better than an American cowboy.

Here I will forever disagree!

The well known kin in the US will be always (to me) preferable to that unknown stranger from far away...even smelling and burping, heh:)

Of course, there is always a third way....putting ourselves back onto our own feet again!

A Digital World Shaped by Others

Let's be blunt. Recent data shows that between 80% and 94% of European tech companies rely on US infrastructure. In the UK, it's 94%, and in France, 80%. Even the Spanish banking and energy sectors are 100% dependent. Also, 69% of Europe's cloud market is held by US firms, with only 13% domestic share.This isn't nuance, it's dependence.

This dependency means European business, governance, and infrastructure are subject to US rules, legalities, and political ripples (CLOUD Act, FISC, export controls). Even pro-sovereignty strategies like Gaia‑X or EuroStack remain embryonic.If that dynamic doesn't change, our fate is tied forever to US strategic interests....

And of course we can live without Palantir and surveillance

Well, that is not a dependency right now....maybe Europe has become aware of the dangers, but for many other stuff its just to late!

To many dependencies to mention....if it would be only Google or X...but it isn't anymore!

...the other alternative would be of course China (always waiting on the outside), just exchanging Washington with Beijing....I say, no Thank You!

That (points above) is already a big and rising part of the modern economies, the societies not even mentioned!

And without a modern, competitive economy we won't be able to keep our standards of living or jobs....we will fall behind to third world status! Poor and instable!

Unrest, possible civil wars, with stronger neighbours making plans for us, without us...people leaving, fleeing....the whole nine yard!

...Europe has a significant and growing dependency on US high-tech, especially in cloud computing (US firms hold ~70% market share), software, AI, and digital infrastructure, creating risks for digital sovereignty, data access (CLOUD Act), and economic competition, prompting EU efforts towards strategic autonomy through initiatives like Gaia-X and increased investment in domestic innovation.

This reliance extends to critical sectors like banking, energy, and even defense, with European tech investment lagging behind US counterparts.

Key Areas of Dependence

Cloud & Software: US giants (Amazon, Microsoft, Google) dominate the EU cloud market, with European providers holding minimal share.

Digital Infrastructure: High reliance on US tech for core digital backbone, from telecom components to submarine cables.

Artificial Intelligence (AI): Europe lags in AI development, relying heavily on US advancements, notes.

Semiconductors: Dependence on foreign supply chains, including the US and China, for crucial chips.

Cybersecurity & Surveillance: Use of US software for law enforcement and intelligence (e.g., Palantir).

Defense: Reliance on US software and systems for advanced weaponry (e.g., F-35, Aegis system).

Off-Topic / 75 Years of Israel and the War - part 3 [645]

.....I keep wondering if they truly believe a Holocaust could never happen to them again....not in the US....if/how they keep ignoring that Israel is their only truly safe refugium if the **** comes hitting the fan again!

Off-Topic / 75 Years of Israel and the War - part 3 [645]

but silent about Israel and its total influence over America,

Man....for a people/country with so much super powers they really have a to small, always threatened country!

But for many incomprehensible reasons, the most Jews outside of Israel are hating Israel as much as the most Hamas-loving anti-semite does!

So there is that these Jews truly have to much power in the US!

Tlum, you are onto something here....

I am a secret CIA agent who wants NATO dead

But....why would the CIA want NATO dead?

Theoretically organizations which you can control are alot more efficient than a bubble of govs you can't....which then even would look elsewhere for control....in the worst case to the global adversary!

Nah, Novi....the CIA would rather use you to look for russian and chinese spies....bots....high tech....secret meetings behind the US' back....such things! :)

Well....come to think of....playing the hard core Euro/NATO-hater....and the unwavering Putin-friend, would actually be helpful with your mission! Gaining sympathy, maybe even trust...the first foot into the enemy door, so to speak! ;)

....."a certain mutation"....pheeeeeew....we are the real thing, Iron! :)

So don't project your country's past onto Russia.

The Soviet bloc contained not only Russia + Germany.....it contained half of Europe....full of people who behaved the same as now Russians do.....who would repeat the state propaganda if "asked" on the streets, just out of fear to say the wrong thing!

Who, if ordered, would had invaded the neighbour, once the leadership demands it, all for the "good cause" of course!

Remember?

But....there would never had been a '89 if the people in their majority truly believed all that **** and would honestly support it, or this bloc would still exist!

rather than risk their lives by criticizing the Tsar ?

....its never about ones own life only, not in a dictatorship! If only, there wouldn't be one for long....

You were born "after", were you cms?

There might be naive enthusiasm and belief in the leadership shortly after the beginning. But as the promise of "six weeks" faded slowly into a long, bloody war of attrition, with more and more young sons dying, and now at home the costs of this war being felt much more strongly, I'm totally sure that mood is turning!

....and Putin, the former secret service agent, will know!

They really think like that.

Do they?

Have you all forgotten our own peoples history "supporting" a dictatorship for decades?

Would you all say the same about your own peoples, families, friends, loved ones back then?

The Russians right now are not different to our own Past.....some would think having lived through such times ourselves we would have more empathy and less judgement!

(or some posters here are alot younger than I thought and truly don't remember....and never learned about it in history class?)

People are all the same everywhere....a few "Do'ers" (for "it" and against "it")....but the overwhelming mass just wants to muddle through with their lives and will nod to everyway the coin might fall but honestly just wants to be left alone!

when asked in the street almost all North Nigerians express support for Putler and the illegal invasion

....or what? Risking to fall out some window next?

Russia is not a country where your real opinion is asked for! You keep it to yourself if you want to keep your head....is that so hard to understand?
