So this is a big deal, and perhaps even *the day Brexit delusions die*. For the EU threatens to restrict automotive sector access unless the UK follows its trade and investment rules. And China threatens to retaliate if the UK does what the EU wants. www.politico.eu/article/chin...

politico.euChina threatens retaliation if UK follows the EU on tariffsChina urged Britain to follow World Trade Organization rules and warned it against copying Brussels’ approach, arguing that tariffs on Chinese EVs would be discriminatory.

Under this great news I have seen a professional casting some doubt on the NOKIA/ICEYE technology. That it is somehow not comparable to what the Orcs or the Muscovite 🇺🇸 has. While I trust that 🇺🇦🇫🇮 and 🇪🇺 will make up for it. Please tech experts or @demiurg.bsky.social give us a explainer.

Great. Needs to be fast. And the rest of Europe should switch too (Always assumed Estonia would be the one to help with this but Nokia makes sense 🤞)

Europe likes to beat itself up, but in Nokia and Ericsson the continent has two of the world's most important drivers of standardised connectivity technology, as well as infrastructure.

President #Zelensky first announced the deal earlier in the day during Finnish PM Petteri #Orpo's visit to Kyiv, calling the satellite agreement "important for our defense and for the resilience of Ukraine."The agreement with Kyiv comes a few weeks after Nokia and ICEYE announced

plans to collaborate on building "broadband low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications systems for governments." These systems will support national defense, emergency response services, and border security, among other applications.

Chamberlain at least had a fleet and a France to disappoint. Trump is stripping the deterrent itself, and the bill lands on Kyiv first, then Taipei. Partners who still have influence should spend it now on air defense and long-range strikes rather than waiting.

Steve 'Witless' #Witkoff is a corrupt & greedy moron. And a bully. And a bootlicker. Which of course is why Trump gave him the job. Tangerine Twitler chooses his senior lickspittles in his own sociopathic & empathy-free image. Donnie also likes then to be as dumb as he is.

The gaslighting has a cost beyond the embarrassment. Every week spent on whether Starlink was switched off is a week the front doesn't get a decision on air defense and drones. That delay is the real damage.

A priceless study of a blatant gaslighting story by #trump and #musk falling to pieces. Would smirk if the human consequences of the actions of these horrible people were not so severe for #ukrainians. Now I am just again so mad that these evil assholes hold so much power over the fate of Ukraine.

The US government is now asking Elon Musk to restore the access they say was never removed, Elon says was shut down by the US government, and both briefly tried to pretend was down due to a technical glitch, in between darkly hinting Ukrainians deserve to die for being stubborn or ungrateful.
