"The future soldier may carry a keyboard instead of a rifle or fly a drone from halfway across the globe. That doesn’t make them any less vital. But it does mean we must rethink how we train, who we recruit, and what mission readiness means in an AI-era battlefield." Well, looky here, I suppose the term "keyboard warrior" will no longer be a meme but a real thing. Of course, our singular objective should always be peace. ✌🏿 #AI #Defence #Drone #Warfare #KeyboardWarrior #FutureSoldier #Memehttps://www.realcleardefense.com/articles/2025/07/22/are_soldiers_obsolete_1124078.html

Rebalancing or retreat? Canada's peacekeeping legacy fades away After decades of gradual decline, Canada’s peacekeeping tradition is entering its final chapter. The Defence Department is shutting down four overseas missions and shrinking another, arguing troops are needed elsewhere. Critics warn the move sacrifices a defining national identity and surrenders diplomatic influence to countries such as Ch... https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/peacekeeping-canada-troops-nato-latvia-9.7297599?cmp=rss

if anyone wants to learn about recent weeks in Ukraine regarding Fedorov/Syrskyy protests and their background, evolution of Ukrainian Armed Forces during that time, and challenges Ukraine is facing in next few months - this is fantastic analysis from someone who served in the frontline https://vladyslavstarodubtsev.substack.com/p/what-is-even-going-on-fedorov-syrskyi (while I know it's Substack, I know the author personally and can vouch for him) #Ukraine #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraineWar #RussiaIsATerroristState #Warfare #Defence #Defense

Forget Andy Burnham's fancy words, and tiny measures on energy & buses. Follow the money. ££££. The big money is for war. In the next decade, #Burnham, #Healey & #Streeting are pouring over £100 billion extra into weapons. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/jul/22/increased-defence-spending-uk-economic-growth-wes-streeting-military-andy-burnham This money is not for "#defence". There is no defensive use for destroyers or nuclear submarines or aircraft carriers. These are weapons of attack. Money that should be invested in people and in infrastructure is being squandered on war. #ukpol

but... I was told by some pRoFeSsOrS on Fediverse that defence spending is too expensive & that russia is not a threat... "The report says RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire and other US air force bases in England were among the sites targeted by drones in late 2024. [...] drones may have been launched from Russia-linked vessels" https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/putins-shadow-fleet-drones-spy-nuclear-5HjdcQ7_2/ #Defence #Military #UnitedKingdom #UK #Drones #Ukraine #StandWithUkraine #War #russia
