If the US Congress has any spines left, they take action now.
WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE
President Trump escalated his invective against Norway, calling it a ‘shit house country’ and saying Norwegian immigrants are not welcome in the United States because the Nobel committee, based in the capital Oslo, has not awarded him a Peace Prize reut.rs/3U1joSt

Russerne trenger ikke banke på døren. De dukker opp i Facebook feeden din. Roboter, falske kontoer og kunstig intelligens brukes for å skape splittelse og uenighet i Norge. Jeg blir mer og mer lei dette her på X.

Så litt kinesisk analyse av russland og deres krig⬇️
Jeg har flere ganger hevdet at Russland kunne vært et rikt land med med mange fordeler hvis de ga opp dette med å underlegge seg naboer.
De tar ikke i bruk sine komparative fordeler og hvis de gjør det så har de ofte brukt dem som maktmidler på nabostater.
Underkastelse fra naboer skaper neppe vekst og velferd.
Tvert i mot burde det være i russisk interesse å påvirke andre land til å vokse å realisere sitt optimum, for slik skape betalingsdyktige stater.
Smal analyse med fallgruver ja, men alternativhistorie søker undersøke andre muligheter og utganger.
Interessesfærer med krig som resultat, burde vært forlatt.
Ny-realistene er kanskje litt for lite opptatt av dette og bygger analysene på klassisk maktkamp og legger mindre vekt på verdien av likeverdige og betalingsdyktige stater.
站在今天看,俄罗斯这波操作,属于手握着一把天胡的牌打得稀烂。
如果不出兵乌克兰,今天全球AI的牌桌上,除了中美,大概率真得坐着一个俄罗斯。
搞AI、跑大模型,底层逻辑就是“吃电、散热、堆机器”。这两年全世界的数据中心老板都在为电费和机房降温发愁。俄罗斯属于老天爷喂到饭:西伯利亚开窗就是纯天然顶级空调;境内水电、核电、天然气很便宜,当年挖矿的都选西伯利亚。
另外俄罗斯人的数学和算法也强,各大国际编程竞赛,Kaggle机器学习竞赛常被俄国人屠榜。全世界除了中美,俄罗斯也搞出了自己完整的互联网生态:搜东西有Yandex,社交有VK,还有Telegram。现在在美股被炒上天的算力黑马Nebius,核心班底就是原先Yandex那帮俄罗斯人。
如果疫情后俄罗斯出地皮、出冷气、出便宜电,再拉着中国这种基建狂魔帮忙拉高压电网、建厂房、铺光纤,欧美资本开服务器工厂。俄国人完全可以成为欧亚大陆最大的“超级算力工厂”,中美神仙打架,它在中间两头收过路费。
结果呢?普京一拍大腿:不行,我得去抢那几块地。
普京的脑子,彻底停留在了19世纪沙皇俄国那种“开疆拓土”的旧梦里。什么有没有出海口啊,有没有所谓的军事缓冲带啊,就算抢方法也多的是,这可这是21世纪啊!现在的世界霸权争夺,抢的是半导体供应链,抢的是先进算法,抢的是高精尖人才。你去顿巴斯抢了几片烂泥地、几座废弃钢铁厂,代价却是把整个国家的未来都押了上去。
枪声一响,一切全崩了。稍微有点本事的程序员、算法工程师,连夜跑路。Yandex核心技术团队,宁可巨亏,惨烈的断尾求生、割裂母国,也要跑到欧洲重组成Nebius。普京把最懂未来的人,全逼成了难民和海外创业者。
在人工智能技术爆发的黎明前夜,全世界都在疯狂狂飙算力、抢占新工业革命的门票;而俄罗斯的老大,却带着几十万人,在泥潭里打着一百年前的一战式堑壕战。
再说一遍,普京不行,国内崇拜普京的那帮人也不行

Hils på Olga fra Ukraina.
Hun er en ung kvinne fra Ukraina med et lite barn, et land i krig og nød som forsøker å spe på sin økonomi med på å selge diverse håndtverk.
Jeg/vi her har kjøpt fra henne flere ganger for å fylle opp julekalenderen, og ting fungerer.
Jeg oppfordrer andre til å gjøre det samme, fra henne eller en annen mor med barn.
Gi dem litt støtte, det ei ei gave som det følger ei historie med som du kan fortelle om💪
For øvrig er dette ei ung kvinne med meninger om krigen, landet sitt og livet i sin enkelhet, hvis man kan si enkelthet om slik tilstanden er. Interessant å følge, vurder det du og.
Oppfordrer til å retweete, det er fredag og snart helg og da kan vi være litt ekstra generøse.
Takk.
God helg ønskes alle
Sometimes you are emotionally exhausted, and then you rise again like a phoenix ... and then something truly beautiful is born💙💛

Elon Musk claims that Ukraine allegedly violated Starlink's terms of use and used the system on combat drones.
As someone who was inside the process at the Ministry of Defense, I can say with certainty that this is not true.
In February of this year, whitelists were introduced. Stationary terminals could be registered by both military personnel and civilians.
But for any satellite terminal to work while on the move, it had to be added to a special list and connected to the military Starshield system. Otherwise, no satellite communication terminals in Ukraine would work.
In other words, using civilian Starlink for drone missions was technically impossible. All drone missions that required satellite communication could only be carried out using Starshield.
We are very grateful to the United States and SpaceX for access to critically important satellite communications. Ukraine did not violate the terms of use.
Ukraina... and Musk... and Startlink.

This is a confession to treason.
Elon Musk, a private individual and not an elected official, hijacked U.S. national defence policy to harm partner Ukraine and help enemy Russia.

Could someone please direct @realDonaldTrump's attention to this matter?

According to The Economist:
"It appears to have come from a small circle around the president, Mr Musk and Steve Witkoff, the special envoy to Russia. Reports suggest Mr Musk wanted to punish Ukraine for striking Russian refineries. One official says he contacted the White House only after imposing the restrictions."
If true, this suggests Elon Musk imposed the terminal-speed restrictions unilaterally, before notifying the White House.
Congress must urgently investigate whether Musk acted without government authorization. It is unacceptable for a private citizen to exercise unilateral control over a vital military capability. Starshield is a defense system, and decisions to restrict its operational capabilities should rest with the appropriate government authorities, not the CEO of a private contractor.
This should alarm everyone.

Elon, first of all, thank you. Nobody really ever denied SpaceX’s enormous contribution to Ukraine’s defense, especially during the early days of Russia’s invasion. That deserves recognition.🇺🇦🛰️
But stop twisting the fundamental reality of this war, FFS! Russia invaded Ukraine. Not the other way around. Russia is responsible for starting this slaughter, and Russia can end its invasion by withdrawing its forces.
Ukrainians are defending their homes, their children, and their right to exist. And the recent Starlink and Starshield restrictions reportedly affected Ukrainian drones intercepting Russian attacks, not just offensive operations.
You talk about people dying in trenches and condemn those you call warmongers. But where is that same outrage directed at Putin, whose decision to invade created this catastrophe? Wanting the killing to stop is one thing. Blaming those defending themselves without holding the invader accountable is another.
Yes, you helped Ukraine enormously. Most of us appreciate that. But your past contribution doesn’t make every subsequent statement correct. You know who started this war, Elon. Stop obscuring the difference between invasion and defense bro! Not everyone is as foolish as MAGA cultists you keep trying to appease, for some stupid reason.
After years of war on Ukraina, Musk discover they are fighting back?
Shame on you, Musk!
Correct.
Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.
Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.
Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.
Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.
Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.
SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.
That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.
End of story.

The most important thing today is that Starlink and Starshield operations have been restored to the speeds we had before the restrictions. The speeds are now where they need to be. The restoration began overnight, and by this morning, speeds were already sufficient. This matters: for our frontline logistics, for defending Ukraine against jet-powered “shaheds.”
I thank all Americans and all our partners who took this seriously and truly helped – members of Congress, senators, all the media, the State Department, and the President. Protecting lives matters.
