By the end of 2028, SI and robots will be able to do all jobs that humans can, but better, faster, and cheaper. Then the unemployment avalanche will begin. All jobs will be replaced by the end of 2030.

🆘 Europe tries to reduce its dependence on @elonmusk SpaceX and Washington threatens retaliation. The EU is considering reserving part of the satellite spectrum used to connect phones directly to satellites for European operators. 👏Governments have finally realised that relying on foreign companies for critical communications infrastructure is a security risk. Starlink has demonstrated its enormous value in Ukraine but also the danger of becoming dependent on a privately controlled American network. So Europe is trying to build greater technological sovereignty. 🔥 And what does Washington say? US ambassador Andrew Puzder warns European companies that retaliation could be “devastating” if Brussels disadvantages American firms. That is extraordinary language between supposed allies. And it rather proves Europe’s point. If access to critical technology can become leverage in a political dispute, then reducing dependency is not protectionism for its own sake. It is resilience. The US ambassador says Europe should work with America against China rather than restrict American companies. But Europe’s problem is increasingly obvious: what happens when America itself becomes the unpredictable partner? This is why Europe is right to build its own satellite network, strengthening cloud sovereignty and trying to develop its own AI and industrial capacity. And it is also why Britain needs to think very carefully about where it sits. Because the world is rapidly dividing into large strategic blocs with control over technology, energy, defence and communications. Being dependent is not the same thing as being allied.

According to the Financial Times, the US ambassador to the EU has threatened severe economic consequences if Europe gives preference to its own satellite communications companies. At the same time, the US administration is restricting Starlink and Starshield services in Ukraine, even though European countries are paying for some of these services. It's a remarkably consistent policy: make your allies dependent on American technology, then threaten them economically when they try to reduce that dependence. The EU is already in a very difficult position. Its economy is struggling, and the Russian military threat is becoming increasingly real, with Russian drone attacks now reaching EU territorial waters. And instead of helping its European allies become stronger, Washington is threatening them for trying to become less dependent on it.

Europe Has Stopped Asking Nicely On Saturday, Romania decided it had had quite enough of Russia's drone-shaped bullshit. Two F-16s went up from Borcea when radar picked up multiple targets over the Black Sea. The first drone crossed into Romanian airspace at 17:59 and was dead by 18:01. The second arrived that same minute and lasted four. Both fell into Romanian territorial waters, which is a tidy place for Russian hardware to end up. This is the new arrangement, and Moscow should read it carefully. The border is no longer a suggestion, the warnings have run out, and anything that drifts across it will be met by a Romanian pilot with a lock-on and no particular interest in your explanation. An American reading this might feel it sounds a bit World War Three, and that instinct is correct, because it looks a great deal like 1939. The difference is that this time the man in the White House is working for the other side, strengthening Russia with every concession while insisting the war is somebody else's problem. It is coming anyway, and no, the United States does not get to sit this one out from behind two oceans. China has its own plans for the U.S, Taiwan and the Pacific, and they do not involve asking Washington for permission. That is not my analysis. It is what Trump's own generals have been warning him about.
Două aeronave F-16 ale Forțelor Aeriene Române, aflate în serviciul de luptă Poliție Aeriană, au decolat sâmbătă, 17 octombrie, de pe Baza 86 Aeriană Borcea, la ora 17:43, după ce sistemele de supraveghere radar au detectat un grup de ținte aeriene care evoluau la aproximativ 120 de kilometri est de Insula Șerpilor, pe direcția sud-vest. La ora 17:59, prima țintă a pătruns în spațiul aerian național, fiind doborâtă de una dintre aeronavele F-16 la ora 18:01. O a doua țintă a pătruns în spațiul aerian național la ora 18:01 și a fost doborâtă de cealaltă aeronavă F-16 la ora 18:05. Ambele ținte aeriene au fost identificate ca fiind drone și au fost doborâte deasupra apelor teritoriale ale României. Vom reveni cu informații suplimentare după încheierea misiunii.

In less than 2 years President Trump has made the United States traditional allies, Europe and Canada, the U.S.'s enemy and made Russia, the United States longstanding enemy, its closest ally. I don't remember Trump campaigning for this.

In the 1980s, when I was in college, I joined a Republican party led by Ronald Reagan. This party, however inconsistently, emphasized freedom, democracy, and human rights. The GOP is now a party of Putin. To hell with them, forever.
Vance: "I've never met Putin in person. I've spoken to him on the phone. He was calmer than you might expect. The American media has a stereotype of him. He's very deliberate and measured in his words. I think, at his core, he's someone who cares about Russia's interests as he sees them. One reason he respects the President is that he recognizes the President cares about the interests of the American people." x.com/Acyn/status/1958307741…
