Monitor Luftkrieg Ukraine Vol. VIII - Kyiv Dialogue | Kyjiwer Gespräche Analysen zum Schutz ukrainischer Städte und Infrastruktur, Vol. VIII

Für diese Ausgabe haben wir uns die russischen Produktionskapazitäten angesehen. Ru produziert mehr ballistische Raketen, als Interceptoren weltweit beschafft werden können, und bedroht damit auch Europa.
Mehr dazu und weiteren Themen in der Monitor Vol VIII:

It‘s crazy US legislation would allow any military action without a posed threat to US security. „Our president wants Greenland“ can hardly be sufficient justification.

3/ Our goal is to provide information about the (air) defence needs of Ukraine more closely with the actual needs and developments on the ground. We also look into current debates such as dependence on the US in weapon systems and the latest European efforts to improve its air defence capabilites.

Perfection is Boring. It Takes Away Possibilities from Future Generations | Audrey Tang Коли все має значення · Episode

There was a great ideas (& existing tools) mentioned by @audreyt.org at @rightscon.org, including a social media run by an algorithm that favours bridge building (i.e. content that is accepted in diff clusters of users) rather than polarization. Some mentioned here: open.spotify.com/episode/68qe...

Na, Robert Habeck kann sich immerhin freuen, dass eins seiner zentralen Wahlversprechen - der Deutschlandfonds für Infrastruktur-Investitionen - jetzt von Friedrich Merz umgesetzt wird (der zusätzliche Schulden im Wahlkampf noch für unnötig hielt).

Very recommended to join this event from @unhackdemocracy.bsky.social. Olha is one of the most inspiring representatives of Ukrainian civil society which is an absolute role model of resilience and strength. We should listen attentively and learn from their experience.

This discussion could not be any more crucial. Time and time again we advocated for increased & substantial military support for Ukraine. Germany and Europe must now step up. Germany's era of hope-driven security and defence policy is over.

I think those EU based companies need to invest much more in their marketing departments. Never heard some of the names before.

Here's a very Nordic-centric list of alternatives, but I also want to hear your favorite substitutes for American products.
