Microsoft has been impressive at this for a minute now.

Because they know we've been at war for a while now despite what the military think - if anyone was in any doubt, the Solarwinds attack last year should've set them straight.

IT Security organisations have been forced onto a war footing for years and nearly all major threats have come out of the cyber-armies of Russia and North Korea.

Man really thought USSR was going to come back like Europe would allow that :mjlol:
This is also why people anticipating/clamoring for ww3 are way off base.

The world ain’t doing that again. The world powers are too powerful, and everyone else is too unified.

Any one or few countries pop off, the world will cancel/blow their ass up with the quickness and we all move on.

The days of conquest are over.

Worst case scenario we get a crazy leader to shoot some nukes, but in that case they would be nuked before they could even hit the button, and again, the world moves on.:manny:

Thanks. That’s what I meant. Do you see China switching its export policy then? If so, would it be worth it for them?
No it won't because they benefit from their currency being undervalued for trade purposes, as well as their currency being controlled tightly, and the fact that they don't have the liquidity to handle the huge amount of investments that the USD does, no country does. Countries all over the world has already been diversifying the use of USD for other currencies so USD will continue to decline but it will still be dominant for the foreseeable future.

Yeah I talked about it in the France thread The France Thread - 2022 Presidential Race

But it's on par for the course with the European far right. Putin finances them as they are politically aligned against what we call atlantism (pro-US paradigm). Zemmour is also championed by Roustrat which is an entity very close to Poutine's party.

France has always had some defiance of the US since De Gaulle so France could be some kind of balance between the US and Russia. That's why we quit NATO command in the 60s and closed NATO bases on our soil until Sarkozy put us back there as he was very pro-US.

Now in the name of gaullism, the far right parties pushes for getting out of NATO and the EU and forbeing closer to Russia in some convoluted nationalistic logic.
«Je suis pour l’alliance russe»: Éric Zemmour estime que la Russie serait un allié plus fiable que les USA

If that reminds you of a certain US president, it's normal :russ:
