Was geopolitische Literacy angeht, lieben die Deutschen ihre gehegte und gepflegte Unmündigkeit. Der Text von @rikefranke.bsky.social gehört eigentlich in die großen Tageszeitungen.
Von Kriegen, Ängsten und gefährlichem Halbwissen
Militärische Fragen als gestrig abzutun, während die eigene Sicherheit von Verbündeten garantiert wird – das war lange deutscher Usus. Doch die Zeiten sind vorbei, in denen wir uns einen solchen Luxus...

Sitting down to compose a hopeful message for 2025 is a tough ask given the year we’ve just had. Even glib sentiments are hard to come by. The defeat of pro-democracy forces in the US presidential election still weighs like a heavy anchor on my attempts to move on. 1/11

When I'm not doing $WORK, I help the Hachyderm infrastructure team run hachyderm.io, a large Mastodon instance (55k users/11k MAU). Today, we published an analysis of our tech stack to prepare for access and resilience risks from the incoming US government.

As someone who has spent a lot of time working on post-coup political order and situations more generally, I'd highly discourage folks from hoping for a military coup here in the US.

Here's a thread 🧵on a few reasons why, based on comparative insights. Polisky, dictatorsky, CivMilSky. 1/

Logistics and the Ukraine War for @popovaprof.bsky.social and anyone else who might be interested.

Disclaimer: All of this is based on my own expertise in strategy and logistics and the public evidence of the war.

My interpretation is that logistics have defined deliveries, and the political talk covers it. I can go through it more tomorrow, but it's late now. Good chatting!
