@randahl Which will arrive (if nothing unforeseen happens) in 2-3 years. Ask the Estonians ...
Most of the previous generation of my family worked for the military and I have a lot of friends in shipbuilding and R&D. I get a lot of insight on the current state.
Believe me, we would not be a threat even to Luxembourg even if we tried 🙂.
@masek from what I hear, the Ukrainians are very pleased with the German hardware, including the various air defence systems.

@RustyFreewheel @randahl that probably will be the result of the negotiations.. 😉
You just had to read between the line's.

@masek from what I hear, the Ukrainians are very pleased with the German hardware, including the various air defence systems.
@randahl Hardware: can do 🙂. It is a pity that we got rid of the cold war stocks. We once had 3.000 MBTs. That stock could have Ukraine supplied for years.
I refer more to the ability to deploy troops and keep them in the field.
The tank brigade in Lithuania (not Estonia, sorry!) was agreed upon in 2022. The 45th tank brigade is currently expected to be ready in 2027.
P.S. I served in 1985 in 6th Tank Grenadiers division which was paired with the danish Jutland division. Back at that time, German soldiers in Denmark still had to expect to be chased away by Danish farmers during exercises.

@RustyFreewheel @vosje62 @randahl
I suspect the main purpose of this deployment is to serve as a tripwire force.

Finally!
Danish Arctic Command announces that two C-130 Hercules planes have landed in the municipalities of Nuuk, and Kangerlussuaq in Greenland with international forces in preparation for large international "exercises".
The population of Greenland has been told to expect a "considerable military presence" consisting of international Air, Navy, Army, and Special Forces.
From what I hear, four NATO countries are involved in today's operation, including our Norwegians friends.

@randahl TFW when Norway takes this opportunity to assert claim to Greenland

@masek yes, the historical grudge runs pretty deep with the older generations. Most Danes under 50 see Germans as friends.
Please understand that many Danes have relatives who died in the resistance movement. That wound is difficult to heal.
I personally love the German people because I have so much contact with German friends and the country overall. But a farmer on the west coast who never travels outside the country… that takes a generational change.

@randahl We received training for it. The ground rule were:
- Never escalate, never threaten
- When in doubt, retreat
- Get some danish comrade to mediate

@tdp_org has France confirmed their participation today?
@randahl @tdp_org This is weird. According to military bloggers from daily "Ouest-France", fifteen or so troops from the 27th Mountain Infantry Brigade (27ème BIM) have arrived in Nuuk. They "will prepare for the deployment of a larger French contingent that could be deployed in Greenland in the near future." Said contingent will participate in the joint exercises with allied countries: Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, the UK and possibly Canada (huh?). https://lignesdedefense.ouest-france.fr/65148-2

@RustyFreewheel
When greenland is attacked, those token soldiers as you call them, will notify someone, then the whole deal with soldiers will get to greenland quickly.
We cant outmatch usa material and their troops,yet , but we have other ways to win. -
@randahl Germany is only sending a 13-people advance party 🙂 . How embarrassing ....

@randahl Finally. It's a great place for troop training anyway in case the EU will ever have to directly face Russia. Get used to the long icy winters now.

"¡Por fin!
El Comando Ártico danés anuncia que dos aviones C-130 Hércules han aterrizado en los municipios de Nuuk y Kangerlussuaq, en Groenlandia, con fuerzas internacionales en preparación para unas importantes "maniobras" internacionales.
Se ha informado a la población de Groenlandia que espere una "considerable presencia militar" compuesta por fuerzas aéreas, navales, terrestres y de operaciones especiales de varios países.
Según tengo entendido, cuatro países de la OTAN participan en la operación de hoy, incluidos nuestros amigos noruegos.

A prudent move since (as Trump pointed out) the threat to Greenland from countries like Russia and China is so serious that it would warrant the US taking ownership.
One wonders why Denmark and NATO were not aware of this threat before. It's clearly necessary to defend it from those countries.
(and any other that don't belong and could attempt to get a foothold there)
Russia struggles to supply it's troops 200km from it's borders.
What makes you think they could supply an invasion force 2,000km away with no friendly airspace and contested sea routes whilst the US would have NATO allies providing airspace, sea routes and Arctic warfare forces.
The USA is far more likely to lose it's base in Greenland because of the actions of Trump rather than the actions of Putin or Xi

@somlu1968 Dies sind Flaggen von Ländern, von denen ich annehme, dass sie an der Operation teilnehmen werden. Noch ist nichts bestätigt.
@randahl @somlu1968 "von denen ich annehme"... "nichts bestätigt"..
Joah, kann man aber erstmal so raushauen. Just for the drama oder so.. -
@randahl Why explain the obvious and not just enjoy the subtle irony 🙄
@sibrosan @randahl given the stupidity of MAGA supporter or bots, I'm very suspicious nowadays. Really couldn't catch the irony at all.
I'm glad it was though.But in the end, there are MASSIVE interest for Russia in the US invading Greenland.
Breaking or diverting energy/resource from NATO, or weakening them, and reinforce the west part so they can invade the east through Ukraine with less help.We're surrounded by psychopathic killer idiots with atomic powers. What a sad state.
The US senate/congress should impeach that crazy lunatic now, and if not, the military should protect the constitution and force him and his goon out of power.
The World shouldn't have to deal with this mess, it is very messy already.

Qualche idea per sopravvivere al divorzio transatlantico. Conversazione con Giuliano Da Empoli
“quelli che chiamo predatori digitali e predatori politici, i proprietari delle grandi aziende digitali, sostengono esplicitamente i movimenti nazionalisti, perché si sono resi conto di poterli sfruttare per smantellare le democrazie liberali: su quello che viene dopo, sul futuro, non c’è convergenza, ma intanto si distrugge insieme, e con più efficacia”

Project Fail: Cracking a Laptop BIOS Password Using AI
Whenever you buy used computers there is a risk that they come with unpleasant surprises that are not of the insect variant. From Apple hardware that is iCloud-locked with the original owner MIA to PCs that have BIOS passwords, some of these are more severe than others. In the case of BIOS passwords, these tend to be more of an annoyance that’s easily fixed by clearing the CMOS memory, but this isn’t always the case as [Casey Bralla] found with a former student-issued HP ProBook laptop purchased off Facebook Marketplace.
Maybe it’s because HP figured that locking down access to the BIOS is essential on systems that find their way into the hands of bored and enterprising students, but these laptops write the encrypted password and associated settings to a separate Flash memory. Although a master key purportedly exists, HP’s policy here is to replace the system board. Further, while there are some recovery options that do not involve reflashing this Flash memory, they require answers to recovery questions.
This led [Casey] to try brute-force cracking, starting with a Rust-based project on GitHub that promised much but failed to even build. Undeterred, he tasked the Claude AI to write a Python script to do the brute-forcing via the Windows-based HP BIOS utility. The chatbot was also asked to generate multiple lists of unique passwords to try that might be candidates based on some human guesses.
Six months later of near-continuous attempts at nine seconds per try, this method failed to produce a hit, but at least the laptop can still be used, just without BIOS access. This may require [Casey] to work up the courage to do some hardware hacking and erase that pesky UEFI BIOS administrator password, proving at least that apparently it’s fairly good BIOS security.

Allora... Per 3, 5 e 9 sono preparato...
Purtroppo invece su 1, 2, 4, 6, 7 e 8 mi devo applicare decisamente di più! 😂

I absolutely understand many, many people do not like AI generated videos. I don't like them either.
However, do not get threatening and sanctimonious and dog pile on someone who has posted something in good faith, clearly didn't know it was AI, and doesn't have the skills to spot it.
Because people become terrified of posting anything for fear of it being AI and getting lambasted for it.
AI is DESIGNED to fool people. And when you beat up someone who is fooled, you're beating up a victim.
