This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 88%. (I'm a bot)

> Boris Johnson has said China will be making an "Historic mistake" if it supplies Russia with weapons - as he urged the UK to "Break the ice" by becoming the first country to supply Ukraine with fighter jets.

> Mr Johnson appeared confident that Ukrainians would only use them to defend their country and encouraged the government to supply some of the UK military's Typhoon jets.

> Mr Johnson added he has "No doubt" Ukraine can recapture territory from Russia if it has fighter jets to take out their artillery positions and command and control centres.

Reply to Moldova warns of Russian psy-ops as tensions rise by R1ckCrypto

Moldova is an EU candidate country, it would be wise for Europeans to have a joint military operation to at least monitor the situation there and assist Moldovian security forces if an attack happens. This doesn't even require weapons, just good intelligence and reconnaissance as information control is the core of Russia's paramilitary strategy. This can also be done independently of the US/NATO, and arguably should be to show that Europe can be unified and defeat Russia without American assistance. Poland is certainly ready to help, as are Romania and Italy.

Reply to Ukraine suffered more data-wiping malware than anywhere, ever: Russia has greatly accelerated cyberattacks on its neighbor in the wake of its invasion by DoremusJessup

All the more reasons proving that Windows is depreciated, almost defunct technology that is kept alive solely through bureaucracy not knowing how to adopt a non-Windows system. Certainly -nix based systems can be hacked, but it's not an open door like Windows usually is. It is plausible to lock down Windows, and W11 is built specifically to do this, but it's still more vulnerable than a comparable -nix setup.

It will be interesting to see how warfare will be conducted between nations with strong military, and strong computing capabilities, especially with how much more technology has been integrated into our daily lives, and structure. Take Canada for example, last year a bad BGP update caused a nationwide communications outage for those using Rogers (because for some reason our government won't do anything about our ISP oligarchy, and we practically get only 3 choices for internet providers). That outage even though it lasted a day impacted so many people, and affected many core services like hospitals, and effected many businesses. That through accident too, I can only imagine what intentionally attacks on national IT infrastructure would be like, and how much chaos it would cause.
