Some people are getting too dogmatic about AI use in coding, just as i can use (even before AI) grammar and syntax checking in texts, why would people not be allowed to use AI for improving code they have written. Coding/programming has always been supported by tools? 🤔

This Trump quote is really the nail in the coffin of NATO, especially with the inclusion of his buddy Putin in his remark.
Trump: ""Oh yes, I would say [it's] beyond reconsideration. I was never swayed by NATO. I always knew they were a paper tiger, and Putin knows that too, by the way."

De discussie over minder afhankelijkheid van de VS in digitale zin moet met de start van het nieuwe kabinet in mijn ogen echt in een flink hogere versnelling, niet over de vraag of het kan, maar hoe we het gaan doen en hoe we kunnen versnellen, samen met andere EU-landen.

The trade war between China and the United States continues to escalate. For a variety of reasons, it appears unlikely that Xi will back down. One key question is: which country is more capable of enduring prolonged economic hardship? Unfortunately, the answer may be China, due to its centralized state control and authoritarian political system, which allows for tighter management of public dissent and economic disruption.

We should support all the brave Hungarians protesting against Orban. This great country deserves a better leader. The EU has no conflict with the Hungarian people only with it's current autocratic leader and Putin-ally.

Trump is getting more insane every week. With regard to the EU, it was actually formed with support from the US, to create peace and prosperity in Europe. As well as a trading partner for the US. US and EU together have prospered in trade and development.

Ofcourse Trump will also help Putin here, he is making sure there is absolutely no pressure on Russia and all pressure on Ukraine.

Just as important as what Trump is doing externally is the fact that he is internally destroying the rule of law, checks&balances, civil rights and institutionalizing corruption and clientelism. So the USA can not be a reliable partner or ally for the foreseeable future, for anything, security, economics etc.

It's good to realise that Russia will do anything (covert/overt/legal/illegal) to derail european cooperation on Ukraine and strengthening our Defense. Expect the worst in disinformation, sabotage, manipulation etc. A more united europe means losing the war for Putin.

Thinking about it, the larger problem is not supporting and defending Ukraine, with full European support they can hold their lines I think, the larger problem is the implosion of the USA, it's alliance with Russia, which can lead to all kind of new conflicts in Europe.

Economic power and money is not Europe's problem, short-term available military strength to defend itself and support Ukraine is.
In the middle- to longterm Europe can easily defeat Russia if you look at the numbers, Russia is a very weak and small economy compared to the EU. Europe has to buy time.

Ofcourse this was the plan all along,

Saying Zelensky shouldn't sign the mineral deal is easy. But people in Ukraine are doing the fighting and dying. Also Zelensky can not fight without US support , at least in the short term. So he really has no choice. Let's hope the agreement has improved.
My guess is that with the deal he will also try to secure some fundamental important aspects of a future ceasefire that Trump can take with him in the talks with Russia.

Trump's posts illustrate that he has become the enemy of Europe and the friend of Putin.
European leaders probably are trying making the best of a bad situation and limit the damage from the "mineral deal" which is pure extortion / blackmail.

All European armies have to make a multi-year transition planning to make their fighting capabilities less dependent, possibly independent from the USA. This is a massive undertaking for anyone who knows anything about weapon systems in use.
But we can't have a president like Trump decide whether we are allowed to use a weapon system or not.

It's good to realize that the EU is economically far stronger then Russia, so if we start investing in our defense we can easily defend ourselves and/or defeat Russia, the only question is whether we have enough time to (re)build our defenses/military because Russia knows this as well.... That's what worries me..
#russia #eu #geopolitics @npub19kr…pd8t

2025-02-16 14:20:04 CET

So US and Russia meet while Ukraine, doing the fighting and dying for their country, is not involved. Also EU the largest donor to Ukraine and countries that face the consequences of the outcome, are left out. Guess what, they probably ask us to deliver troops for a solution... US is betraying us.

Every disadvantage can become an advantage, if we create a new European defense cooperation or within the EU, we have with Ukraine a battle hardened and experienced army as part of that alliance. Ukraine is innovating in drone technology for example at pace that the US can't keep up with. Investing in EU defense industry we can lose our dependency on the USA.

Oh wow, #Pistorius at #MSC2025 says #Vance speech was "nicht akzeptabel" (not acceptable) , true leadership.
Pistorius said: “Democracy was called into question by the US VP for the whole of Europe [...] He speaks of the annihilation of democracy. And if I have understood him correctly, he is comparing conditions in parts of Europe with those in authoritarian regions... that is not acceptable.”

Vance in his own words. Just as bad as Trump, supporting far-right, belittling russian interference. Meddling in european affairs. The USA is not our ally or friend. That's very clear.

I don't think it's very relevant what Vance , Hegseth, US officials are saying. Trump is making clear that he sees Putin as a close friend and ally he wants to improve relations with. Regardless his invasion of Ukraine , warcrimes, corruption etc. He is even repeating Putin's talking points.
So we can never trust a US government with anything, especially not related to Russia as long as Trump is president.

Trump is treating the cruel dictator Putin , as a close friend and ally. While the deaths in the war with Ukraine are his responsibility as he invaded, also let's not forget the Syrian civil war, killing of Navalny and many other dissidents,, Checken war etcetera The USA used to stand for freedom and democracy, not anymore.
