In order to succeed, the Zeitenwende will need more political guidance than we see at the moment.

No “Fazit” this time, but my final words of our #SicherheitshalberLive in Mainz.

They are just Shaheds!

They are just Shaheds!
A few days into the U.S.-Iran war, after Iran attacked many of its neighbors, my friend in Kyiv asked her 11-year-old son if he had heard about what was happening. Unworried, he replied they were firing " just Shaheds ," and continued playing his game. Ukrainians by now

In order to succeed, the Zeitenwende will need more political guidance than we see at the moment.

Took your hilarious Mein Schiff post to see you again 😂

Quick reminder that if I used to follow you on other app and don’t here, please let me know as it most certainly by accident, not by design.
(Just realised I wasn’t following @marceldirsus.com for ex. Which is absurd).

If you think the nuclear-powered supercarrier USS Gerald R. Ford is the most powerful ship in the world, you are wrong. It's actually the German cruise ship Mein Schiff 4 (pictured), which successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend

War einer der ersten posts vom offiziellen Account…

Odd metric.
What is impressive is that the robot can run. That it then can do a half-marathon faster than a human is not.

Eutelsat Stock Soars on French Military Backing and Financial Overhaul Eutelsat shares surge 56% YTD, reclaiming key technical level after securing a major French defense

A helpful move for European strategic autonomy in space:

"The French MoD has made a definitive strategic choice, formally selecting [Franco-British] Eutelsat's OneWeb constellation as the primary connectivity backbone for its armed forces until at least 2030."

Yes that’s an extremely appropriate comparison, on all levels. Bye.

And what I mean by rollercoaster: some statements I’m like, yes, true. Others oh boy. Oh wow 😳

15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia.

On Germany.

5. The question is not whether A.l. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed.

12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin.

On AI and warfare.
#Palantir

Palantir’s 22-point “Technological Republic” statement is such a rollercoaster.

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

Verteidigung: Kampfjetprojekt FCAS – auch der letzte Vermittlungsversuch scheitert Nächste Woche dürfte das deutsch-französische Projekt beerdigt werden – wenn Kanzler Merz sich von Frankreichs Präsident Macron nicht noch einmal umstimmen lässt.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

It’s been a blast! 🤩
