Europe, it’s time to get your spooks inside DOGE. You need the information about these personnel and warehouses. You’ll have to maneuver around obvious agents, and if you can’t tell whether someone is really DOGE, neither can anyone else.

Communication gear tied to navigation will have invulnerable geofencing, so instead of looking in source code for kill switches and dead hands, look for god mode.

Good reason for Australia to think again about its $800M US subs contract. Unless they are prepared to pay in minerals...;-p

    The minerals in Ukraine was a weird bolt-on to a ceasefire. Couldn’t the Ukrainian parliament negotiate however it wanted for the right to mine currently-occupied territory? Maybe they’ll pay you to dig a mine under a Russian base.

    If Zelenskyy is a dictator, why does his attendance at peace talks depend on forcing him to try something extra-constitutional that could taint the legality of the paperwork?
