Canada's new defense investment strategy outlines plans to raise the share of acquisitions awarded to Canadian firms to 70% from about 30% — a major shift for a country long reliant on U.S. suppliers. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/18/world/politics/carney-billions-canada-military-us/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #mark #carney #defense #canada #us

"I'm not asking you to credulously accept Carney's conversion at face value. Rather, I'm asking that you celebrate the vision that Carney articulated while threatening to destroy his political life if he breaks his word. Let every politician know that there is glory in standing up for us – and let them know that betrayal will see them tossed overboard, to drown in our wake."

My latest piece is out today.
Attacks Against the International Criminal Court: Who Cares About Victims of Atrocity Crimes? “…The assault against the ICC is part of the Trump administration’s comprehensive siege against the rule of law and international institutions.”

Well said and this is a great piece! Highlights so many important things and how the system will contradict itself even when the right thing is said by the one we least expect and won't likely push forward, but cetainly need to hold them account to their own words

Carney isn't a hero (and that's OK): There is nothing harder to stop than an idea whose time has come to pass.

"What sparked Carney’s intervention was not Sudan, Venezuela or Gaza. It was the US threat to Canada and Greenland.
A western prime minister took umbrage only when the US, under President Donald Trump, threatened to treat the prosperous West in the same way it has long treated the Global South.
Let’s return now to Israel’s recent invasion of Unrwa’s headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem: a gross breach of international law and a direct attack on the United Nations.
Article 6 of the UN charter establishes that any state that persistently violates its principles can be expelled from the UN. The attack on Unrwa is part of a pattern of Israel’s criminal hostility towards the UN, including its refusal to respect orders from the International Court of Justice on Gaza, its slaughter of UN aid workers and its regular attacks on UN positions in southern Lebanon.
The case for expelling - or at the very least suspending - Israel from the UN is overwhelming. Yet neither Carney’s Canada nor Starmer’s Britain, nor any other western power, has so much as suggested the idea.
In his Davos speech, Carney set out Canada’s approach as follows: “We aim to be principled and pragmatic. Principled in our commitment to fundamental values: sovereignty and territorial integrity, the prohibition of the use of force except when consistent with the UN Charter, respect for human rights. Pragmatic in recognising that progress is often incremental, that interests diverge, that not every partner shares our values.”
This is all well and good. But on the evidence so far, Carney is prepared to be principled when it comes to western countries like Canada and Denmark, and pragmatic when it comes to Palestine and Venezuela.
This is a fundamentally racist equation."

Interesting take on that Carney speech.
“We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false”. OK but they went along with it anyway. Why? Because it paid. That's the western powers' ethics.

“Courage is contagious. Carney’s words made a difference. That’s what words do. And it’s why the mass cowardice of America’s rich and entitled and powerful is the real problem America is facing right now. A cowardice that’s being normalised by the enabling actions of other world leaders.”

“In countries under the Iron Curtain, people felt powerless, but they weren’t, that was Havel’s message. And also, Carney’s. The job of power is to make people believe they have no power, but it’s a lie. And it’s the same in Minnesota. …the ordinary people of Minneapolis aren’t. They’re showing what it takes to stand up to power. And this killing only proves it.”

Da ore i miei tre server stanno facendo da palco a uno spettacolo monotono… brute-force SSH, un tentativo al secondo, più o meno, come un metronomo ossessivo.
Parliamo di macchine che ospitano cose leggere, tipo Mastodon, Matrix, searXNG, Pixelfed e SNAC2. Quindi no, non è proprio il Raspberry dietro al modem.
Potrebbe essere il classico bot che ha pescato tre IP diversi a caso e ha deciso che oggi si gioca a “indovina la password”.
Però, lo dico, il dubbio che sia mirata questa serenata ce l’ho. Quando ti suonano alla porta di casa, del garage e pure del ripostiglio… inizi a farti domande.
Fino a ieri io stavo nel mondo comodo:
utente + password robusta.
Funziona, è pratico, soprattutto se cambi PC spesso e vuoi entrare al volo.
Oggi invece si passa alla modalità “ok, basta”.
Coppia di chiavi cifrate, password disattivata, accesso blindato.
È meno comodo: ogni PC che uso deve avere le chiavi, e non è esattamente “clicca e vai”.
Ma la porta non è più “chiusa bene”.
È saldata.
Morale della favola… anche oggi ho fatto esperienza.
Bella giornata.🙏
Un dazio alla settimana toglie il medico di torno. O almeno una minaccia. Sabato scorso Donald #Trump annunciava l’intenzione di imporre nuove tariffe del 10% sui beni esportati da Francia, Regno Unito, Germania, Olanda, Danimarca, Norvegia, Svezia e Finlandia. Ovvero i Paesi «rei» di difendere a spada tratta la Groenlandia, pure inviandovi soldati. Progetto poi messo da parte dopo il «compromesso» trovato a Davos col segretario generale della Nato Mark Rutte sulla protezione dell’Artico. Ma nel frattempo proprio sui monti svizzeri Trump sembra aver individuato il suo «miglior nemico»: Mark #Carney, il premier canadese che a Davos ha sferzato la platea invitando ad aprire gli occhi sulla fine dell’ordine internazionale basato sulle regole e l’urgenza per le «medie potenze» di agire insieme contro il pericolo di un mondo dominato dalla competizione tra grandi potenze. Il presidente Usa deve aver preso malissimo quelle parole, e gli applausi scroscianti, quasi liberatori, seguiti. Dopo il ritorno negli Usa ha prima dileggiato Carney. Poi, sabato, ha minacciato direttamente lui e il suo #Canada. Come? Evocando la possibilità di colpirlo con nuovi dazi, ovviamente. Del 100%.

”[Q]: What did you think of Carney’s speech at Davos? …
SK: It was novel not to be lied to… I’m glad Carney dispensed with the notion of the “rules-based international order.” … My one major critique of the speech is that, while of course the US government is responsible for its actions, those actions are made possible by global oligarchs, mobsters, and plutocrats. … Overall, I found his speech encouraging.”

#Carney, however, was unbowed, speaking of #Canada as “an example to a world at sea” as he crafted a potential template for other world leaders navigating a new era.
“We can show that another way is possible, that the arc of history isn’t destined to be warped toward #authoritarianism & #exclusion,” he said in a speech before a cabinet retreat in Quebec City.

…His tactics have raised fears that #Trump is imposing long-term damage on the US standing in the world & encouraging countries to rethink their #alliances & deepen their ties with #China. #Carney already traveled there earlier this month to meet with President #Xi Jinping.
