China-linked Twisted Panda caught spying on Russian defense R&D Chinese cyberspies targeted two Russian defense institutes and possibly another research facility in Belarus, according to Check Point Research. The new campaign, dubbed Twisted Panda, is part of a larger, state-sponsored espionage operation that has been ongoing for several months, if not nearly a year, according to the …
Quite. Of course China is trying to steal those sorts of secrets. So too, I hope, are America and Britain and France and Germany and Israel, among others. If anyone were to tell me definitively that any of these countries doesn't have an active espionage programme aimed at these institutions, I would be very disappointed in them.
People keep getting born. That's where the trouble starts.
They grow up, and want to move out of their parents' home. But where to move to? Gone are the days (if ever) when they could just wander into the woods, or the wilderness, and build a cabin for themselves. All the land is already owned by someone. Mostly, by very rich (and therefore influential) people.
So they either have to pay whatever the asking price is for land this week, or resort to shenanigans. Option 1, which you'll note is only available to people who have quite a lot of resources to start with, helps to make the rich richer and keeps the poor in their place.
Option 2 is the beginning of "not getting along". (Although of course you can also use shenanigans to make yourself richer and then buy the land fair and square, thus combining both options. That's also "not getting along".)
Every war ever is ultimately about "who gets to live where". Putin, for instance, thinks that Ukraine should be populated by people who think of themselves as Russians, loyal to Mother Russia, and to that end he's trying to scatter people who think of themselves as "Ukrainian" to far-flung parts of Russia. (Or Europe, that works too, so long as they don't go back.)
Why is all this relevant to the GGP post? Because "Why can't we all just get along?" is hopelessly naive. It's something that can only be said with a straight face by a very young person who not only knows nothing about history or politics or demography or social sciences in general, but is also largely unaware that there is anything to know about these subjects. And so is the GGP sentiment: anyone who's spent more than about two minutes thinking about the subject already knows that it's not going to happen, and why. It falls under the heading of "aww, that's sweet" if the speaker is a teenager or younger, otherwise it's just irritating.
One of the comments attached to Branagh's Henry V U-tube posting is a waif complaining of the war and death of the period. It appears to be one of those that don't follow history.(This class must greater than believed so it must be a terrible shock to find REALITY. Good spying will always resolve intentions and the capabilities attracted to those intentions.
'specially about Chrtistmas in New Jersey
Well that's basically because once the cat was out of the bag you ain't getting it back in again! People love all the gizmos they get inside Word and Excel, and with almost every biz on the planet relying on Excel to run their fianances ( yeah, shake your head all like, you know it to be true! ), if you killed the VB macros engine inside Excel sheets then the world will literally grind to a halt.
Not saying I agree but I'm just saying that I'm a realist, we're stuck with it so just suck it up and keep your AV software updated!
It was specifically Blackadder that taught me that when we do it, it’s ok!
Captain Darling:
So you see, Blackadder, Field Marshall Haig is most anxious to eliminate all these German spies.
General Melchett:
Filthy hun weasels, fighting their dirty underhand war!
Captain Darling:
And fortunately, one of our spies...
General Melchett:
Splendid fellows, brave heroes risking life and limb for Blighty!
Putin at the minimum will get back half of their old private lake if Odessa falls to the Soviets [sic]. A line drawn from the point of the Romanian border on the Black Sea to a corresponding point at the Georgia intersection will provide the rationale that makes the Barents Sea to be restricted waters. The next stunt would to Yell truce and demand a plebiscite with those actually in Ukraine and peace-loving not under arms residents. He cannot lose. The 'be-nicers' will agitate, those ducking fire will soon tire, and the rest are hostage. Cannot lose!
China is doing magician act dancing around Taiwan while was built Icebreakers and the PLAN is practicing operating in the Northern Pacific. I put the boundary of Cinnese Siberia just about a line running North/South of Lake Baikal
