Information Warfare, Cyberattacks, Sabotage: How "Operation Plan Germany" Changes Switzerland's Security Policy

Information Warfare, Cyber Attacks, Sabotage: How the "Operation Plan Germany" Changes Switzerland's Security Policy

The German Armed Forces are developing a plan on how to repel an attack below the threshold of war – a likely scenario. An analysis from a Swiss perspective.

A group of armed individuals swiftly occupies the Swift data center in Diessenhofen in the canton of Thurgau: This is where global payment flows converge. The fighters, wearing combat uniforms without any national insignia, use massive force. They are equipped with a mortar and state-of-the-art anti-tank guided weapons. This private army thus possesses far more firepower than the Thurgau cantonal police.

Simultaneously, there has been an ongoing deployment of American NATO troops through the hub of Ramstein near Frankfurt for days, intended to deter Russia from attacking Latvia. The partial failure of payment transactions completely disrupts the situation. A disinformation campaign warning against the influence of the USA – particu

An Anonymous Boeing Insider Shares A Possible Cause For The Alaska Airlines Door Plug Failure

An Anonymous Boeing Insider Shares A Possible Cause For The Alaska Airlines Door Plug Failure

Current Boeing employee here – I will save you waiting two years for the NTSB report to come out and give it to you for free: the reason the door blew off is stated in black and white in Boeings own records. It is also very, very stupid and speaks volumes about the quality culture at certain portions of the business.

A couple of things to cover before we begin:

Q1) Why should we believe you? A) You shouldn’t, I’m some random throwaway account, do your own due diligence. Others who work at Boeing can verify what I say is true, but all I ask is you consider the following based on its own merits.

Q2) Why are you doing this?

Franz-Stefan Gady visits Ukraine

Ukrainians Will Continue to Fight Even if the West Stops Providing Any Ammunition

Military expert Franz-Stefan Gady regularly travels to the front. In an interview, he discusses the partial failure of the Ukrainian offensive and the prospects for 2024.

Mr. Gady, you have visited Ukraine regularly since the beginning of the Russian invasion, most recently in November. How did you experience the mood at the front?

The fighting spirit and morale among the soldiers remain relatively high. However, there is also criticism of the political and military leadership. This is normal after the partially unsuccessful counter-offensive. It did not achieve its geographical goals, the cities of Tokmak and Melitopol, as well as the Azov Sea.

What were the reasons?

Ukraine War Twitter Thread

Original twitter thread

ChatGPT's translation:

"Russia regains the initiative and attacks in the northeast and east. Ukraine shifts to strategic defense, reorganizes, and must manage scarce resources. What is the situation, and what is needed?

In addition to the ongoing major Russian attacks near Avdiivka, Russia is now making several smaller attempts at advances. This has allowed Russia to regain the initiative on the front in the northeast and east. The territorial gains made so far remain small.

In the northeast, Russia is attacking towards Kupiansk. To the west of Kreminna, north and south of Sievierodonetsk, across a wide front west of Bakhmut, and southwest of Maryinka, Russian troops are also attempting to advance.

Stealth Christmas
Have A Stealth Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the skies,
Air defenses were up, with electronic eyes.
Combat pilots were nestled in ready-room beds,
As enemy silhouettes danced in their heads.
Every jet on the apron, each SAM in its tube,
Was triply-redundant linked to the Blue Cube,
And ELINT and AWACS gave coverage so dense,
