For anyone else who didn’t recognize those initialisms:

The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and its European Court of Human Rights are part of a completely different legal system to the EU. The ECHR and its court are part of the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states, including Russia and the UK. The EU, on the other hand, consists of 27 Member States.
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) is the body responsible for overseeing compliance with EU law within the EU. That said, the EU and Council of Europe systems are intertwined because the ECHR lies behind many of the general principles of EU law and its provisions have been used as a basis for the EU’s Charter of Fundamental Rights. All 27 EU member states are also members of the Council of Europe.

The tech itself isn’t secret, both sides use it. With Russia being ahead apparently. From the article:

A video from a Russian military Telegram channel from last month demonstrates their ominous capability. A fibre optic drone, the nose of the yellow cylinder housing the coil clearly visible, flies with precision a few centimetres from the ground, to strike a Ukrainian howitzer concealed in a barn, a location clearly previously considered safe.

But as Fedorenko acknowledges, it is Russia that, at least for now, “is well ahead of us” – largely because Moscow has had greater access to fibre optic cabling, with Ukraine scrambling to catch up.

While I think it’s important that people see what war is, I’m still not sure I want to watch terrible shit like this again right now, but here is a nitter link. https://nitter.net/WhatTheHekmat/with_replies?cursor=DAABCgABGlldE7R__-gKAAIaV6-A-ZaRFggAAwAAAAIAAA

It’d be nice if they’d provide a clip of these exchanges or timestamps. Video is just better to share with the people that need to see this.

If that’s the case, which I suspect it is, we look really fucking dumb being so hyperbolic(or what would the word be here? I just woke up). Let’s not stoop to their level with nonsense like this, there are plenty of legitimate criticisms to be made.

SA? Security advisor?

I tried to switch, because it is really nice. But coming from sync, how having to swipe back to the main feed from a post made me look elsewhere. You have to start your swipe at the far left of the screen, vs just swiping anywhere.

I’m out of the loop, what bear situation are you referring to?

What the hell, I didn’t know he owns the WSJ…

Ensure that your wife’s credentials are accepted here. I know people who were nurses in the US and couldn’t work as one here because their accreditation wasn’t seen as valid.
