It's one of those day when I can't stop thinking about Hitler's Breitspurbahn project. Why does someone just build it anyway?

Reform UK candidates are now straight up Star Wars characters.

@IceThat48637 @norusnya @oroborous I mean, European agriculture will be crushed with or without Ukraine (because of production costs) commission.europa.eu/topics/trade/e…

The good news just keeps coming. @oldSwede55 @norusnya @oroborous

@oldSwede55 @norusnya @oroborous Adding the largest breadbasket in the world to the market will be the thing that lower prices. (If handled correctly of course)

@IceThat48637 @norusnya @oroborous Ironically farmers will complain about high production costs, while city dwellers complain about food prices, they will turn against one another, and neither will focus on bringing down production cost (and effectively food prices).

@oldSwede55 @norusnya @oroborous That is obvious, Ukraine's greatest asset will be its greatest obstacle. All the farmer lobbies in each country will have a problem with this.

@IceThat48637 @norusnya @oroborous I personally believe Ukraine has one serious obstacle before joining the EU, and that is their agricultural exports, i have a hard time seeing Poland especially allowing them to join until this issue has been resolved.

Yes, we are the ones doing the alienating. True!

While the U.S. is losing control over its foreign policy and Italy is becoming an energy hub, another critically important development is unfolding in Europe. I’m referring to Germany’s new General Concept of Military Defense, signed in April 2026 by General Carsten Breyer, Inspector General of the Bundeswehr. This is the first military strategy in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany. Prior to this, such a strategy simply did not exist in Germany. Two figures you need to remember. 460,000 — the target number of Bundeswehr personnel by 2035. And 2039 — the year by which Germany plans to become “the strongest conventional army in Europe.” This is a quote from the document “Gesamtkonzeption militärische Verteidigung.” Defense Minister Boris Pistorius opens the document with the words: “In Europe, Russia remains the greatest threat to our security in the near future. Through its rearmament, it is preparing for a military confrontation with NATO and views the use of military force as a legitimate tool for advancing its interests.” This is an official German document from 2026. Not a leader’s statement at a rally, not a newspaper article — and it explicitly names Russia as the greatest threat to Europe. For a country that spent 20 years building Nord Stream and that, as recently as 2022, sent 5,000 helmets to Ukraine — this is a civilizational shift. But there is much more of interest in the strategy. Here are a few points. The U.S. is no longer a reliable guarantor of European security. Quote: “The U.S. is key to the alliance both politically and in terms of its military capabilities. At the same time, they declare that strategically they are increasingly focused on their Western Hemisphere and the Indo-Pacific.” Translation from diplomatic language to plain English: we can no longer count on the Americans. The document directly references the U.S. National Defense Strategy of 2026, in which Washington demands that allies “make greater efforts to ensure their own security.” Germany is taking on a leading role in Europe. General Breyer writes: “The military strategy is based on the premise that Germany, as Europe’s largest economy, must and will assume a leading role in NATO — including a military one — in a more complex and severe threat environment.” This is a phrase that, just ten years ago, would have been unimaginable in an official German document for historical reasons. Now it is written in black and white. The first permanent deployment of a Bundeswehr combat brigade abroad is in Lithuania. Quote: “The decision, taken for the first time, to permanently station a Bundeswehr combat brigade outside Germany is a visible expression of this new role.” German soldiers are permanently stationed in a country bordering Russia. This is not a rotational presence — it is a permanent deployment. The Bundeswehr also explicitly identifies six key elements of modern warfare: 1. “The blurring of war” — the state, the economy, and the population become targets. One cannot count on the enemy to adhere to ethical and legal principles. 2. “Multitemporal warfare” — advanced technologies such as quantum computing and robotics are used alongside inexpensive off-the-shelf tools and conventional weapons. 3. “Transparent battlefield” — data becomes a weapon, artificial intelligence enhances cognitive capabilities, and it is no longer possible to hide from real-time reconnaissance. 4. “Long-range action” — precise long-range strike capabilities. There are no safe rear areas. 5. “Automation and Autonomy” — the enemy will make unlimited use of AI and autonomous unmanned systems. 6. “Mass Effectiveness” — cheap, mass-produced systems become a distinct advantage. Quantity becomes quality. This is an exact description of what we see in Ukraine every day. This is the war we have been fighting for four years. The Germans now officially recognize that this is the war of the future. Development phases: Phase 1 (until 2029) — maximizing defense capabilities. Rapidly bringing existing forces to combat readiness. Phase 2 (until approximately 2035) — strong growth focused on the role within NATO. By this period, the Bundeswehr is expected to have 460,000 active and reserve personnel. Phase 3 (2039+) — achieving technological superiority. “Europe’s strongest conventional army.” Six National Capability Targets that the Bundeswehr will develop separately from NATO objectives: 1. Long-range operations and air defense — “Deep Precision Strike.” 2. The fight for information superiority using AI. 3. Networking and digitalization — “Digital Backbone” as a cloud-based IT platform. 4. National operational command capability, including Multi-Domain Operations. 5. “Operation Base Deutschland” — transforming Germany into a NATO operational base. 6. National crisis response. What this means for Ukraine: Germany has finally ceased to be “Europe’s great pacifist” and has officially recognized Russia as its primary enemy. A country that for decades viewed its role in NATO as purely supportive is now officially asserting a claim to leadership. The Bundeswehr officially recognizes the principles of warfare that Ukraine has formulated on the battlefield with the blood of its soldiers. When Europe’s largest economy writes in its first-ever military strategy: “Cheap, mass-produced systems become a distinct advantage” — this is a direct acknowledgment that the Ukrainian approach to war is strategically correct. This opens up huge markets for our defense industry. It is extremely important for us that the document effectively describes Ukraine as a provider of expertise, even if it does not name it directly. When the strategy states: “The Bundeswehr must accelerate innovation, embrace it, and quickly apply it to its own warfare” — this is a direct reference to what Ukraine does every day. The Germans will now learn from us. And this is not a political statement — it is a legal document.

Oh god, he's again gonna roll the red carpet for him? @IceThat48637 @oldSwede55 washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

@oldSwede55 @norusnya @oroborous Obviously they will not join tomorrow.

@norusnya @IceThat48637 @oroborous It takes alot of time to finalise, then everyone still has to vote. It won't be done before the war is over

@norusnya @oldSwede55 @oroborous Yes but it's an important first step..

@IceThat48637 @oldSwede55 @oroborous Isn't it just symbolic though? I'm not sure how can anyone seriously negotiate an accessions while the war is ongoing

2+2=5 MAGA addition

Deport! Deport! Deport!

@oldSwede55 @norusnya I wonder what all the pro-Trump libertarians who claim Hitler was a woke leftist would say about this.

@IceThat48637 @norusnya Take that liberals

Lol @norusnya @oldSwede55

Fuck yeah nigga I’ll throw a roman to that

@oldSwede55 @norusnya It's like the good times never ended.

Nothing can stop the Finnish hordes under Swedish command @IceThat48637 @norusnya

The "Ottoman-style" is based on the Greek Orthodox church Hagia Sophia. They cannot create anything of their own

My message to Trump:

This alone is more money than the US ever spent in Ukraine

@norusnya @oldSwede55 @oroborous Considering in addition to the regular war crimes Russia is now trying to do IS-style attacks on the daily, they deserve to be nuked 100 times. x.com/i/status/20473…
