‘People Are Scared’: Inside #CISA as It Reels From #TrumpPurge
Employees at the #Cybersecurity & #Infrastructure #Security Agency…are struggling to protect the #US while the #Trump admin dismisses their colleagues & poisons…partnerships.

Since #Trump’s election, #Canada has been increasingly aligning itself more closely w/partners across the Atlantic, seeking to diversify #trading partners & #defense #allies away from its core relationship w/the #UnitedStates.

In a document prepared by the #EU to lay out the plans for its #defense initiative, Canada was explicitly mentioned, hinting to the talks to absorb the country into the EU #military industry project.

Continued thread

2 ofcls, one from the #EU & one from #Canada, w/direct knowledge of the discussions said detailed talks were underway to incorporate Canada into the EU’s new #defense initiative. The goal is to boost the EU’s defense industry & eventually offer a credible alternative to the #US, which is now dominant.

Specifically, the ofcls said, Canada would be able to become part of the European #military manufacturing roster, marketing its industrial facilities to build European systems….

Continued thread

#Canada is in advanced talks w/the #EU to join the bloc’s new project to expand its #military industry, a move that would allow Canada to be part of building European fighter jets & other military equipment at its own industrial facilities.

The budding #defense cooperation between Canada & the EU, which is racing to shore up its industry to lower reliance on the #US, would boost Canada’s military manufacturers & open up a new market at a time when its relationship w/the US has become frayed.

I wonder what it's like in the #Kremlin right now

Gloating they successfully demented the #USA

And expecting the #West to crumble?

All they did is *really* piss of #Europe. Investment in #defense is skyrocketing

Fuck the USA, but I think the essential ignorance is that what the West stands for is topdown. Like #Russia. They have no idea the bottomup fury they've awakened

Russia is barely holding on fighting #Ukraine. Their economy is in the toilet

#Beijing #China on the other hand...

Continued thread

Those discussions have been underway for weeks, & they center, in part, on a section of border in #NewMexico…. In effect, the move would turn the #BufferZone into an expansive satellite #MilitaryInstallation, potentially allowing a greater portion of the #Defense Dept’s mammoth budget to pay for #Trump’s border crackdown while creating new legal jeopardy for those caught trying to slip into the country from Mexico.

Rien ne va plus entre Macron et Bayrou: "L'Elysée me veut du tort", balance le Premier ministre à ses proches, persuadé (à raison?) que la présidence se trouve derrière les articles le critiquant. Bayrou? "La présidentielle est sa seule obsession depuis 1995. A chaque lendemain de défaite, il est déjà en campagne pour la suivante", se marre un conseiller.
