To be honest, from all the nonsense that floods the information space (and even the conclusions "between the lines"), I simply get tired.
As one wise lady said, politeness is well-organized indifference. So here I am...

French army adopts hard-kill tactics for drone threats As Western armies adapt to lessons from the war in Ukraine, France’s 2nd Marine Infantry Regiment has begun training its soldiers to use shotguns against small aerial threats, including low-cost FPV d...

Shotguns are part of the answer, as astounding this may sound

Western officials back Sky Shield plan to take down Russian targets over Ukraine, Le Monde says Read more

After increasing attacks on NATO countries by Russian war drones, Europeans are "talking" about the Sky Shield plan again to shoot down Russian drones and missiles over Ukraine, which they shelved in 2022.
But not all of Ukraine! Just near the NATO border.

Do you talk with serial rapist and ask "how do you feel"?
Yet @Olympics and Kristy Coventry is doing basically doing same thing..
"Neutral" killeristan athletes - supporters of killing Ukrainian people, kidnapping Ukrainian children do not represent ANY value from Olympic charter.

Today, a piece of drone tail washed up on the beach in Varve parish, Ventspils region. The 🇱🇻 NAF Unexploded Ordnance Disposal Team is heading to the scene to analyze the found object.

For Germany’s Defense Industry, Getting Bigger Isn’t Enough Germany’s defense industry has grown due to the war in Ukraine. But bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better.

Tas ļaus Latvijas armijai #nbs paātrināt pretgaisa aizsardzības kaujas grupu reağēšanu uz potenciālu apdraudējumu. Aizlieguma laikā pastiprināti testēsim jau iepriekš izstrādātās gaisa telpas aizsardzības procedūras, apziņošanas algoritmus, un sensoru apkopoto datu analizēšanu. 2/2

Ņemot vērā 🇵🇱 gaisa telpas pārkāpumus, un iespēju līdzīgiem incidentiem atkārtoties, no 11/09 plkst.18:00 līdz 18/09 tiks slēgta gaisa telpa aptuveni 50 kilometru joslā gar LVA-RUS un LVA-BLR robežām. Lidošanas aizliegums attieksies uz gaisa telpu līdz 6 km augstumam 1/2 @nbskomandieris.bsky.social

Impotent statements like these are why Russia feels free to attack us.
This wasn’t an “incursion of drones.” Russia attacked Poland.
We shouldn’t “condemn it.” We should hit Russia with serious, damaging consequences.
We shouldn’t “call on Russia” to stop. We should stop them.

Lai identificētu un notriektu agresorvalsts dronus Latvijas gaisa telpā, valsts austrumos pastāvīgā dežūrā atrodas pretgaisa aizsardzības vienības. Aizvadītā nakts 🇵🇱 apliecina, ka sadarbības algoritmi ar NATO gaisa telpas patrulēšanas misijas iznīcinātājiem ir efektīvi. @nbskomandieris.bsky.social

“And who allowed you to live well?” 

There's a deep meaning. Perhaps one, who searches for a mythical "ruzsian soul" should start with the exploration of the story of this "а кто разрешил вам красиво жить?"true meaning ..

Across the GLOBSEC Trends polling, trust in presidents tends to be higher than in governments or parliaments, with all surveyed countries being parliamentary democracies in which
presidents hold largely ceremonial roles..

Europe does not need the US to break Russia’s war machine and enable Ukrainian victory. Europe needs its leaders to find their proverbial balls and finally do their job: protect Europe.
