All this tells us is that Russia has literally zero anti-aircraft/intercept capability — even for national-level strategic sites.
They keep getting their turds pushed in by radio-controlled light civil aircraft pottering in thousands of km at highway-traffic speeds.
Pitiful.
And this is related to the relative capabilities of USA vs Russian in terms of logistics.
The Americans can generally afford the fuel, and the logistics tail to keep it flowing.
Russia cannot.
How well the M1A1 serves Ukraine remains to be seen, but so far they’ve gotten pretty fantastic performance out of every weapon system they’ve been given, from Javelins to Patriots.
One of the two men you mentioned will win – barring a death before the election, either Biden or Trump will be elected.
All the wanking in the world isn’t going to result in a third option with even the remotest chance.
I think Signal shot themselves squarely in the dick by removing SMS functionality.
Previously, you could use Signal as the primary SMS/messenger app. Any conversations with other Signal clients secure. Conversations in SMS/MMS? Marked as not-secure.
But, out of some purity concerns, SMS functionality was removed and the dev team focused on adding useless shit like “stickers” and then the pin-code harassment.
Signal adoption plummeted as intended (?)
Easy! Just replace their usual SMS app with Signal, and then every contact they have that does use Signal is private and secure!
Oh. Wait. That’s exactly the functionality that Signal removed in their effort to ensure that Signal is never widely adopted…

Doing something about International Law on international waters is a totally different matter than within the the borders of a sovereign nation.
Virtually every international border on the planet.
It’s pretty well established that any biometric can just be taken from you — facial recognition is super easy and it won’t be hard to force your thumb onto the sensor.
This is also the case for things like blood draw for blood alcohol testing.
The only unlock key that’s (probably) truly yours is something inside your brain.
I’ve mulled/wished for this for years. Also useful at borders, where in the past I have actually been asked (required) to unlock phones and laptops. Generally you have no rights whatsoever there.
Those shadow accounts would need to be ‘lived in’ to pass those border checks. My worst experience was traveling with new, obviously burner devices — border agents were extremely suspicious.
And that irony now is that messenger on Android is RCS compliant and currently has this exact functionality, except it’s less trustworthy.
Once again I’m using one messenger and everyone else who’s using an RCS messenger gets encrypted, but SMS (clearly marked as such) is a viable fallback.
