I'm a tard but it reads like they were just going to take euro businesses under government control, but since the company is selling itself to a Russian then they see no need. As that was what they wanted. Probably would of ended up selling the assets to Russian companies anywaysSomething I found interesting that happened today, amidst the french spergery. No idea what it could mean tho, might be nothing.

Are Javelins one of the systems we have to assemble by hand since the demand was so low that automating productions was considered a waste?
France won't do anything. I believe this comment from Moon of Alabama sums it up.
"Macron is a bullshit artist, to be fair he’s not the first that France has had. French leaders have a tendency to try to use the European project as a vehicle for French greatness, the problem as the French often find out is that other countries don’t always have the good manners to accept French leadership and direction."

As per Russell Bentley: Secret data on the combat strength of NATO forces in the Baltics involved in potentially repelling a Russian invasion has been leaked online. Everything is here - from the number of people to the boundaries and time of deployment of forces and means. Among the documents are materials from the recent Crystal Arrow 24 exercise in Latvia, where this scenario was tested.
"Warthog"
lmao
No one has paid this much attention to Latvia since my friend's great grand-father yelled at his maid to pack the family's things for a permanent vacation in the Greater Reich.

Will it be like that Afghanistan exercise where the "opfor" commander wasn't allowed to use strategy because that made it too hard for the NATO commander to win?

Well done! Your liberation is ever closer. Just try to stay indoors the next week or so, because the goons will surely swarm and try to figure out who have the tip-off.

Could be worse, could be "Frequent Wind."
I've been looking, but there doesn't seem to be any provenance (but there usually isn't for leaks, so YMMV.)

Don't diss Frequent Wind. It is India's special bio-chemical weapons deployment elite unit. Their gaseous emissions could eat through an Abrams hull faster than a Kinzal.

You know you're a horrendous and rancid regiment when even the soldiers of your own country possess a hatred to it. Though i am pretty sure that the majority of kraken regiment soldiers are originally from various fascist larping brigades such as the right sector and azog battalion, so go figure. What a waste of a amazing mythological creature
France is running on borrowed time economy wise.
Anyway
Summarized version
The West has frozen approximately $300 billion in assets belonging to the Russian central bank. Euroclear, based in Brussels holds around $205 billion.
Euroclear however is a private entity with responsibility (securities trade clearing, management and safekeeping of securities for a large part of the global financial market, overall Euroclear's managed assets are $37 trillion), and thus a huge required capitalization. Once they seize Russian securities, the Russians seize the $33 billion of Euroclear assets frozen in Russia.
And although Euroclear will have to write off $33 billion - repay them to their investors. Or get EU to give them piece of those frozen Russian assets to cover the lose.
Russia can and would sue for seizure of Euroclear's assets internationally - Euroclear has depositaries in Dubai and Hong Kong. And since seizure of sovereign assets is very very much against international law, And likely Russia would win in those countries, So not only would Euroclear take a massive lose. This would threaten Euroclear with loss of license and pretty much put another nail in EU's economy.
And the EU with this move can say goodbye to euro’s status as a reserve currency. and place of investment, etc
Never mind of course destabilizing precedent that western countries would set by doing this. And accelerate the end of the dollar also.

That urgent Macron speech:
"Hon hon, hon hon hon. Baguette Ukraine. Je suis le faggot. I surrendeur! Hon hon hon".
Oh, Ukraine
There is no amount of shells that can save Ukraine at this point, and not enough tubes either. The UAF is too badly attrited for any believable quantity of Western aid to make any difference except maybe lengthen the war by a few months.
Everybody who wanted to fight for Slava Ugandhi is already in uniform, dead, or doing an unironic Hitler salute with his remaining limb. They're conscripting the increasingly unwilling and even the unable.
What Russia is doing now to the UAF now is a heavyweight champ raining down body blows on a battered opponent, with vicious head blows like Avdivka or however you spell it showing Ukraine is unable to defend anything against determined Russian assault.
Ukrainians are tough people, or they wouldn't have held out this long, but it's only a matter of time now before their front collapses. The progress of FAB glide bombs and the lack of heavily defensible lines, combined with Russian harassing attacks will continue to exhaust Ukraine of manpower until something seriously breaks on the front. But that time could be in 2025, or it could be in May.
Macron and whatever grinning idiot they've installed in Britain this week can posture and threaten, but with what? I think I read, from Big Serge, that France can only field 8 combat brigades. They're probably pretty good brigades, but Russia would laugh at those numbers, and raise their bet. Britain's army is smaller than the United States Marine Corps.
Britain had another government budget this week which included no new spending for wars. They can't afford it. France and Germany are even worse off. If Europe is supposed to be getting ready for war with Russia, you'd see some signs of them doing that. They don't have the financial, industrial or political capital to spend on war with Russia. It's all talk. They're not mobilizing for anything, it's vaporware much like all the undelivered promised military hardware Ukraine is still hoping NATO Claus will send.
Instead, Ukraine will continue to get basic military welfare and meme quantities of high tech weapons/platforms that will annoy Russia but do nothing to prevent the ongoing destruction of the Ukrainian army and the economy of Ukraine.
So Ukraine is gonna be the new Afghanistan, we've dangled hope in front of their greedy little Slav eyes for a couple of decades now. But the time is soon coming for us Free People in the Free World to cut them loose, apart from all the refugees of course.
We can always use a few million refugees.

CANBERRA — While some facets of age-old conflict have carried on into modern war, the head of the British army said that with the fight in Ukraine, the military world is witnessing what could almost be described as a “Cambrian explosion of autonomous systems” and the stunning proliferation of countermeasures used against them in real-time.
It is an “extraordinarily progressive and an almost revolutionary change in some of the character of war,” Gen. Patrick Sanders, chief of the General Staff, told an audience at a CSIS event Tuesday. “Now, not all of them are working effectively. Up to 80 percent of the drones during one period recently, simply were not getting through because of an extraordinarily contested electromagnetic spectrum and effective Russian use of electronic warfare.”

Well your president is busy sucking off the international community, as is your PM, while the local standard of life shits the bed and crippling austerity is bar for the course. . But hey! at least you have new metro signs and maps at great cost to the taxpayer!

Virtually without exception Western countries, especially European ones, have spent decades beating the nationalism and patriotism out of their native populations. I know a lot of people, most of whom are military aged men and I don't know a single one who feels in any way inclined to get shot on behalf of their respective governments - especially over Putler.

It's like these people have never picked up a history book in their lives. Of course the doctrine is rapidly evolving and changing. This isn't dropping bombs on goat herders. It's the first war where both sides have modern tech since ww2. And just like in ww2, there's a race to figure out how to use the tech. It's been like this through human history.
