Hybride oorlog zit tussen vrede & oorlog in en is bewust vaag & onkenbaar, legt @bartschuurman.bsky.social (@fggaleiden.bsky.social) uit @eenvandaag.nl; Het zou topprioriteit moeten zijn op de #NAVO-top.

17.06.2025 12:35 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Itโs not just 700 Marines, itโs a battalion, a combat unit called 2/7.
When I was in a similar unit, 2/8, we had literally 1 week of โnon-lethalโ (riot control) training. And about 4 years of lethal training.
No disrespect to 2/7, but theyโre not trained for this. Theyโre trained for war.
Zeer interessant onderzoek naar de verdachte van de steekpartij in Amsterdam eerder dit jaar. Er lijkt vooralsnog geen link met Russische hybride oorlogvoering, eerder wat oorlog in mensen los kan maken. nos.nl/nieuwsuur/ar...

Hi all, just sent out my free weekend update. This was the week where it was said many things changed, but actually little did. Trump basically gave up pretending he was trying to negotiate in good faith and said if Putin doesnโt want a deal, thatโs fine by him. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

As AI advances and global crises intensify, a countercurrent is emerging: groups that want to dismantle the technological system, rather than merely critique or regulate it.

Trying to ID this drone: hexacopter frame with only 5 props mountedโpossibly damaged or field-modified. Looks a bit like a DJI FlyCart 30, but could be custom-built from off-the-shelf parts. Any insights?
