The Coming US Invasion of Canada
1. US invents and amplifies alleged problems (e.g., "fentanyl).
2. US imposes tariffs, heating up Canadian anti-US rhetoric
3. US begins cyber operations against Canadian infrastructure

Exactly. We've got something just as good... a supply chain. Europe as a whole and any nation that trusted the US for its defense against Russia is screwed now. www.twz.com/air/you-dont...
You Don't Need A Kill Switch To Hobble Exported F-35s
The U.S. doesn't have to rely on a kill switch to rapidly degrade and soon end a foreign country's ability to use its F-35s.

“We have been trying to tell people to recalibrate.”... A US administration could put restrictions on kit from the US and that if countries are “deemed not to be doing what you are told you will suddenly find out missiles won’t fire and planes won’t fly. You have got to be careful.”

This is pretty in-the-weeds, but I strongly suspect it is real. Defense experts (governmental or industry not specified) are warning their European colleagues that the US could remotely disable the functionality of missiles or airplanes in a future European conflict. Europe, do not trust the USA.

I'm telling you, he (Agent Krasnov) IS a Russian agent. He IS running a Russian penetration operation against the United States. He is a traitor. Now, we'll find out if the GOP is fully onboard with Putin and Agent Krasnov, or not.

The secretary of Defense has ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions, sources tell Recorded Future News.

America's eternal shame. Agent Krasnov does Moscow's bidding and turns his back on an ally fighting a war against a truly evil empire. This is a moment of betrayal like none I've ever seen.

In the lives of emperors there is a moment which follows pride in the boundless extension of the territories we have conquered, and the melancholy and relief of knowing we shall soon give up any thought of knowing and understanding them.

Trust the Germans, they know a Nazi salute when they see one.
The straight-arm salute has meant very different things in different places and during different periods of history. But in Germany, the interpretation of the gesture Elon Musk made during President Trump’s inauguration event this week was straightforward. nyti.ms/4h6c5iE

Here's my review of Gertrude Himmelfarb's history of the background and critical reception of Eliot's Daniel Deronda. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the Jewish dimensions of George Eliot's life and her final novel.

Canada geese are among the species that navigate by sensing small changes in Earth’s magnetic field. Researchers have now calculated bounds on the sensing ability of biological magnetoreceptors and concluded that two types of receptors likely operate close to the quantum limit.
Biological Magnetic Sensing Comes Close to Quantum Limit
Researchers find that two types of biological magnetic sensor can sense fields close to the quantum limit, a finding that could guide the design of lab-made devices.

It is unbelievable to me that the DOJ is not dropping charges against Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira so that it can publish the report on Trump's national security crimes. If this does not happen, it will be a capstone on Garland's incompetence and Biden's lack of appreciation Trump's danger.
