Russia is trying to sabotage European railways, warns Prague
LLM summary:
The Czech Republic's transport minister warns of Russia's attempts to disrupt European rail networks, suspected to be part of a campaign to destabilize the EU. Thousands of hacking attempts, including attacks on signalling systems, have been made since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. While the Czech Republic has managed to defend against these attacks, concerns remain about potential accidents. Similar attacks have targeted railway companies in Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, and Estonia. Prague is taking measures to strengthen cybersecurity and limit foreign involvement in critical infrastructure projects, advocating for more EU funding for transport infrastructure to address increasing demand and alleviate strain on conventional operators.
Good that I'm living in Germany where sabotaging the railway system would probably make it better.
All I have ever heard about Germany(...mostly) is that the public transport is ridiculously good with enviable punctuality.
It is excellent by global standards, but has suffered in recent years from setbacks. So while it’s better than almost anywhere else (besides maybe Switzerland, Austria and Japan), from the perspective of someone living in Germany, it’s declined of late. I think this explains why you often hear negative comments from Germans but positive from others.
Opening a second war front seems to be incredibly stupid but right on brand. Slava Ukraini
My article 5 is getting aroused.
Lovely.
The History of Fascism in Ukraine Part I
With the war in Ukraine raging, it is time to trace the history of fascism in Ukraine. Once believed to be an anachronistic Cold War relic, the OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists) has emerged as the most successful post-war fascist group. Politicians around the globe shout its fascist slogan “Slava Ukraini”, a phrase that originated with the League of Ukrainian Fascists, was adopted by the OUN and popularized by Stepan Bandera while he and the OUN were on trial for the assassination campaign the OUN were waging in Poland.
It was at the Warsaw trial that the OUN first started using the slogan “Slava Ukraini” publicly in combination with the Roman (Nazi) salute.
History of Fascism in Ukraine Part II
Jews were forced to sing communist songs before being shot or they were forced to shout Slava Ukraini before being beaten to death.
Interesting history lesson.
Is the implication that Spitzspot is a fascist / communist and anti-Semite because they said Slava Ukrani?
They well may be, but that's a big call based on the use of a phrase which has seen a rapid evolution in it's usage in the last few years.
Are all Hindi and buddists and Jainists who continue to use the swastika as a part of their religious symbolism anti-Semite fascists as well?
Is Kim Jong Un a proponent of individual rights and liberties because he leads the Democratic People's Republic of Korea?
I'm guessing there's a few Americanism's that'd have the same complex history.
Slava Ukrani may have it's origins in fascism, but right now across the english speaking world it is seen as a Clarion call championing the freedom of a democratic Ukraine against the current fascist Russian regime.
Words have more than one meaning, and those meanings evolve.
Inb4 Deutsche Bahn blames their legions of unforced own goals on ,rUSsiaN hÄcKeRs.
I don’t understand how these kinds of attacks aren’t an act of war.
It cannot be declared an act of war if the target country isn't willing to bring consequences on the aggressor.
Oh great, the comprador galaxy brains finally got an ideal excuse for railways being rotten by thatcherite neoliberal reforms: blame Russia! And looking at comments, raccoon brain already eat this.
