There's some real messaging going on with the regimes of both Russia and the US both showing how they have weaponized space to control the outcome of conflicts on Earth.

Just curious, where did OneWeb go?
Isn't it an EU solution? -

@leavex At long last, fire the damn bazooka. Stop mirroring the DMCA. Kick the US multinationals out of Ireland. 150% tariffs on everything made in (or serviced from) America.

https://lnkd.in/p/d_VzCzySTrump's Project 2025 was funded by the Heritage Foundation.
According to Timothy Snyder, the Heritage Foundation is a fossil fuel joint venture with Putin & certain American dynasties.
Bradley, Koch, Coors, Scaife Mellon, Seid, Uihlein.The Heritage Foundatìon wants to break up the EU, over its switch to green energy & the ICC's ecocide plans.
The industry is desperate to evade climate lawsuits & keep captive markets.

https://lnkd.in/p/d_VzCzyS@leavex Europe should pursue complete sovereignity, otherwise it's an entity that has no meaning to exist.
This doesn't mean it hasn't to have business with other countries, it "simply" means that hasn't to be administered by an external country.
Every country shall have some similar right, to be called an autonomous state. Will this solve every state's internal problems? Surely not, but it's a basic principle of individual states' freedom, IMHO. -

Why should we give any concessions to someone who doesn’t keep their word, honour their agreements, or betrays their allies?
They promised us free trade, they gave us tariffs. They promised us security, they aided our enemy.
Let them cry.

https://lnkd.in/p/d_VzCzySThe US's threat of limitless retaliation for the EU's attempting to gain a modest amount of independence from Elon Musk's Starlink is all the evidence needed that the EU needs far greater independence from any single source, let alone when that source is controlled by Elon Musk.

@huntingdon There's a justifiable scale to nations contracting, after overt globalization, to the Mean - meaning pulling back over extended resources to locally rooted, regional infrastructure.
And while the EU has too broad of a leadership for quick, decisive geopolitical momentum; the core ethic of empowering locales, remains.

@connynasch @leavex I hadn't thought about banking. I've managed to go as far as Triodos Bank. I'm sure they'll switch to the European payment processor that's being designed when it's up and running.
