Thanks for the article. Interesting arguments made re Iran and how western sanctions on the regime benefit the Sino-Russian axis.

Russia is truly a terrorist state. Putin is a monster, a psychopath that knows no boundaries.

What bothers me most is China's support for the Russian leader, as without it, the war might not even have ever started. No-one should underestimate the role China plays here.

What you can do to bypass authoritarian surveillance How can people use the internet in authoritarian countries like China, Russia and Iran without revealing their identity? Are there workarounds besides VPNs and proxy servers?

A good article by @dwnewstoday.bsky.social

And likely these are all Chinese produced.

It's almost as if 'peace negotiations' involving the Americans and Russia is a cover for Trump and Putin to get together to work out ways to carve up their respective neighbouring coutries. Like, 'I scratch your back if you scratch mine'.

Meanwhile, China just sits back and makes hay either way.

I'll never understand why. Russia could say these tankers are in international waters, and I presume there's a narrow channel along this stretch that counts as international. Only, for as long as Putin continues to break international law/s, no government should be concerned about doing the same.

I was saying back in '22, repeatedly said it since, and say again now, Ukraine's allies, especially all those in Europe, should get planes in the air and boots on the ground.

Russia must fail in Ukraine. Spectacularly so.

And let's have NATO2, a reformed org for all free & democratic nations.

This is an amazing resource about community patrols that can be modified and replicated elsewhere.

GDPR is a good thing, but clearly we've got a long way to go yet before personal data is safe and reassurances ate transparent.

Thanks for posting this discussion

..website, located in Europe at least, but where I am then asked to hand over very personal information. And that's where I get stuck. A private company in Spain will handle personal identifying info, and yes, sure they are genuine and wouldn't want to f*** up, but how can I be sure/...

Ironic too, that as the vid on Vimeo wouldn't play when my VPN was set to Canada (less strict on online privacy), I had to set VPN to Europe. Then, after watching on Vimeo, at the end I clicked to 'like'. Only one can't 'like' a vid anonymously on Vimeo (like anywhere), so I was then taken to /..

Some interesting points made, but the elephant in the room, barely touched upon if at all, is the use of personal data by private companies advising political orgs & actors in democracies across the world. I suspect this is where the really big money is being made, by Meta, Alphabet and Twitter. /..

Risking a pile on, but personally I stay well clear of Zuckerberg products: FB Insta WhatsApp; I'm significantly reducing my reliance on Gates: Windows (I've moved to Linux Mint - superb) LinkedIn (rarely visit/post); & avoid Chinese tech altogether: TikTok big no no.

It's easier than you think.

Miele #LeaveRussia: Miele is Exiting the Russian Market

I'm a consumer activist. We all should be.

So let's promote companies who are clearly anti-Russia, anti-Putin, anti-Trump, anti-MAGA.

After 20 yrs of service, our dishwasher broke down. Miele (German) was our 1st choice for replacement. They pulled out of 🇷🇺 mkt in 2022 👍

Respect for the Heroes of Ukraine.

They are mot influencers, they are treacherous whores.

Should be pimped out to demine Ukraine.

The two most effective ways to help win the war against the double threats facing us in Europe: donate to Ukraine and boycott US products and services (even when they are slightly better, you don't win wars without sacrifice).

France is perhaps the one European country that has not relied on the Americans for defence, making most of its own weapons, including nukes & subs.

Successive British gvts have foolishly gone down the road of contracting out our defence industry to the Americans.

Now who's in the better position?

Dear Supporters of Ukraine,

These are the toughest days of Ukraine’s fight for freedom. Supporting the Armed Forces now is not optional - it’s crucial.

Every bit of help keeps our defenders standing and our country alive.

Let's help these brave Heroes!
Join our initiative!

russia is deliberately using cold as a weapon on the Ukranian population.

Ukraine needs more support guys.

Greenland, if I was you, and looking at the maps, I'd be talking with Canada with a view possibly to joining up with them.

Of course, you could pursue your dream of independence, but with not even 60k people, and given today's geopolitical climate & weakness of int law, that's v risky.

Stay safe!

This was so true two years ago. Now, even more so.
