RT @BBS3AB: Експрес доставка скидів — прямо до п*дарських укриттів

Пілоти Третьої штурмової продовжують кошмарити росіян та випалювати піхоту з будівель. Залетіли на FPV до ворожих схованок на Харківщині: скиди, вибухи, і окупанти отримали статус «обережно, крихке».

Уразили заховану гармату, налетіли на вантажівку та притиснули п*дарів до землі — це добірка епічних уражень від бійців Батальйону безпілотних систем.

Some Sunday thoughts on America and the defense of Norway and Europe.

Some input values: I have been an Atlanticist, believed in America as a beacon and the leader of the free world and strong proponent of as close as possible bilateral defense relationship.

With the current administration and where we are, the analyst in me (I'm an unaffiliated private citizen btw) says this:

We cannot trust the Trump admin in a crisis involving Russia. We need a Plan B.

Still, we must work with the Americans, when we can, as long as we can.

We also still need the US defense industry for a rapid military buildup.

This means our government needs to do a difficult balancing act, but when necessary we must stand our ground, despite risking fallout, such as on Ukraine.

Because of this balancing act, we are unlikely to see the Norwegian government, and other engagers such as the UK talk about a Plan B in public until the bridges are finally burnt.

Because of the consequences, they can't do it. Such discussions will be highly classified.

Opposition parties may have a bit more freedom of maneuver, but they must also be careful.

Analysts, scholars and journalists have full freedom of maneuver, but the debates will be hampered because officials can't fully engage until everything comes crashing down.

I think this is worth having in mind going forward.

European countries have a lot of work cut out, on the war and on increasing our own defense capabilities, but they cannot speak frankly in public about everything.

The approach will of course vary from country to country.

As with everything concerning the Trump admin, I might draw flak over this.

To round off:

In my hobby room, among other crests and memorabilia, I still have an American flag. I don't plan on taking it down.

Addendum:

We must also have in mind the damage Musk & co can do, and is in the process of doing, to US state capacity and federal institutions, as @APHClarkson repeatedly talks about, and it's potential consequences.

RT @AlexLuck9: Good points IMO. "European countries have a lot of work cut out." in particular.

We are in the current predicament over a consistent lack of interest by decisionmakers engaging with the matter at hand, kicking cans down the road on serious defence efforts.
