"🇱🇻🇱🇹🇷🇺🇪🇪 About the new NATO exercise over the Baltics

While we were discussing possible threats to Russia from the Baltics, a new North Atlantic Alliance exercise under the code name Rammstein Alloy took place over the former Soviet republics.

This is a planned event, the purpose of which is to test the readiness of air defense assets deployed in the Baltics, as part of the Baltic Air Policing mission.

The exercise took place over two days: September 30 and October 1, and involved fighters from NATO countries, including the air forces of Italy, Germany, Finland, as well as a NASAMS air defense system battery of the Spanish armed forces and F/A-18 fighters from Romania.

🔻The main point is to train and maintain the tone of NATO pilots in a crisis situation in the region. The planes maneuvered along the Kaliningrad region, Belarus and the Leningrad region and conditionally repelled the attack.

Training over the Baltic states has recently become more frequent, as have harsh and loud statements from the authorities of the three republics. The most prominent example is Estonia, which has taken on the role of leader in provocations towards Russia.

The other day, Kaupo Rosen, the head of the department of Estonian foreign intelligence, which has already become a kind of meme, said that Estonians would like internal problems for Russia, which can be achieved by defeat in the Northern Military District.

As everyone already understands perfectly well, any exercises, especially near the borders, make it possible to accomplish another important task: under the pretext of training, Western intelligence collects data on the activity of our air defense systems and other military facilities.

🔵❌💰 Coinbase to Delist Unauthorized Stablecoins in EU by December

Crypto exchange Coinbase plans to de-list any unauthorized stablecoins in the European Union by December 30.

Crypto companies are racing to comply with the European Union's Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) rules, which require firms to be authorized in at least one EU country.

Tether, which is the largest issuer of stablecoins, has not managed to snag the necessary e-money license yet in the European Union.

🇷🇺🧠📈 Russia to spend $2.54 billion on its own chipmaking tools industry by 2030

A new vague plan pins domestic 65nm to 2030.

The initiative involves launching 110 research and development (R&D) projects to reduce dependence on imported wafer fab tools and eventually make chips on a 28nm-class process technology. To put the $2.54 billion number into context, that is 57 times less than the country will spend on defense in its war against Ukraine in 2025 alone.

🇪🇺❌🇨🇳EU votes in favour of hefty tariffs on China-made EV imports

The European Union backed tariffs of up to 45% on imported Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) on Friday as it looks to counter Beijing's subsidies for automakers now targeting Europe.

EUROPEAN COMMISSION PRESIDENT URSULA VON DER LEYEN:

"The electric vehicle sector holds huge potential for Europe's future competitiveness and green industrial leadership."

"EU car manufacturers and related sectors are already investing and innovating to fully develop this potential. Wherever we find evidence that their efforts are being impeded by market distortions and unfair competition, we will act decisively."

"And we will do this in full respect of our EU and international obligations - because Europe plays by the rules, within its borders and globally. This anti-subsidy investigation will be thorough, fair, and fact-based."

🇺🇸📞🇱🇧 — 📰 Axios: Scoop: U.S. wants to use Hezbollah's weakness to elect new Lebanese president

➡️ U.S. officials say the White House wants to take advantage of Israel's massive blow to Hezbollah's leadership and infrastructure to push for an election of a new Lebanese president in the coming days.

➡️ Why it matters: Lebanon hasn't had a president for almost two years, which has increased instability and exacerbated the political and economic crisis in the country.

➡️ Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah, top militia commanders and other Hezbollah members were killed by Israeli airstrikes in recent weeks, weakening the influential militia.

➡️ Nasrallah blocked any effort to elect a person who was not its ally Suleiman Frangieh.

➡️ One candidate is the commander of the Lebanese armed forces Gen. Joseph Aoun, who is supported by the U.S. and France. The Lebanese armed forces will be a key player in any post-war settlement in Lebanon.

➡️ With Nasrallah dead and Hezbollah at its weakest in years, the Biden administration thinks there is now an opportunity to dramatically reduce its influence on the Lebanese political system and elect a new president who is not an ally of the Shia militia, two U.S. officials said.

💻 DarkIRC Anonymous Chat Aims to Counter ‘Brutal Censorship of Crypto Devs’

The new anonymous messaging platform from DarkFi bills itself as a highly secure channel for private communication.

A new messaging service billed as “the world's strongest anonymous chat” has launched in pre-alpha.

DarkIRC was created in response to “the brutal censorship of crypto devs by authoritarian regimes,” developer Amir Taaki said in a tweet.

The chat service is designed to allow users to communicate without identity tracking. Unlike traditional messaging platforms that require user registration or generate persistent identifiers, DarkIRC enables users to change their nicknames at any time.

“Free society means free speech,” Taaki went on. “That means all speech. Without limits."

Taaki explained that the software was created in response to the “attack” on developers working on “freedom tech,” such as crypto mixer Tornado Cash.

“The power regime puts devs who work on freedom tech in jail,” the DarkIRC developer said, adding that, “We are under attack. Devs are pushed into secret spaces with their back against the wall."
