Yeah dude, by all accounts it does seem that the paranoia and power went to his head.

Don't get me wrong, he's a pioneer and a visionary for what he did, but I have yet to read any credible account that discredits his attempt at purchasing hitmen.

They have been a staple of great power competition since the Cold War, as a means of political signaling, military posturing, and gathering of intelligence.

Currently, hydrogen production requires more energy to produce the equivalent amount of hydrogen.

Which is why it should not be produced on a fossil fuel based grid, but is perfect for stored portable energy on renewable grids. For example, converting excess wind and solar power to hydrogen fuel.

It sounds like Estonia is on the right track, and intending to leverage their access to water and other renewables to generate "green" hydrogen. This sounds great, I hope they can pull it off.

What do you mean go wrong?

All of the "consequences" that would arise from a program like this, are intentional.

Possible, but these are also the type of aircraft you would expect to see in mass during any naval conflict or blockading action against China. I believe the PLAAF/PLAN are working on their version of Rapid Dragon.

Relatively slow, but plentiful, cargo planes, would be a pretty obvious choice for launching a saturation attack against USN or Japanese forces operating outside the range of their land based missiles. Again, assuming they develop a similar system to Rapid Dragon.

This isn't reconnaissance, it's standard airspace incursion and intercept.

Everyone here seems to be a really hawkish as of late, or possibly just having a very poor understanding of international relations.

Yes, you can.

Russia and Turkey have very different political dynamics than China and Japan.

Also, these types of airspace incursions, followed by intercepts, are pretty standard amongst major powers.

It doesn't mean they're benign, but that shooting down Chinese planes intentionally as a response, is something you do if you're willing and ready for the escalation path to result in open conflict, not simply an escalation.

What benefit? What doubt?

None of the other possibilities reflect well on Russia either.

There's nothing in that article that provides any information as to how and why the hotel was struck, just that it was struck.

You can acknowledge Putin is a violent dictator, without pretending that he's some cartoon villain. Evil is more complex than that, and so is war.

I'm assuming they meant that they were company phones, and that additionally they were required for any work related MFA requirements.

If that's the case, it would be YubiKey in addition to, not instead of.

As for the time tracking software, those are often part of a much larger accounting, payroll, and/or HR software suite. Having his team spin up Windows vms, or even have separate older windows boxes somewhere, probably makes more financial sense than not. At least, until they can switch to a more modern suite that has a web portal.
