    Assessing the Threat of Hybrid Warfare in Germany and the Nordic Countries: Real Danger or Political Posturing?

    All NATO has is nuclear weapons, which is a war nobody wins as everyone dies. Regarding actual military capability, some NATO members with capable armies would give a good account of themselves on the battlefield, but they are too few. They'd run out of men and supplies in days/weeks. Their...

    Assessing the Threat of Hybrid Warfare in Germany and the Nordic Countries: Real Danger or Political Posturing?

    I used to think there would be a "peacekeeping" force around the Lvov area, with Poland getting some of the old Galicia, and that might still happen. But in terms of actual NATO ground troops engaged in combat (not sheep-dipped ones like there are now, but fighting for their country officially)...

    Assessing the Threat of Hybrid Warfare in Germany and the Nordic Countries: Real Danger or Political Posturing?

    Any Western mainstream outlet is providing wildly inaccurate reporting. I mean, they run stories that Russia needs to steal chips from Ukrainian washing machines to build weapons, but then on the next page, that we need to prepare for Russia invading the rest of Europe They've been telling you...

    Assessing the Threat of Hybrid Warfare in Germany and the Nordic Countries: Real Danger or Political Posturing?

    What are you basing that on? Outside of cyber warfare, what do you think a hybrid warfare between Russia and Germany/The Nordics would entail? For example, one is happening in Georgia, with the West attempting a regime change to open a second front against Russia. Not sure how Russia achieves...

    Question Anyone tried https://www.coca.xyz/ ?

    The Physical Card and Virtual Cards powered by Coca Wallet are a prepaid Mastercard issued by Wirex Limited (in the UK), a principal member of Mastercard or UAB Wirex (in the EEA). If you read the reviews, it's obvious they are all fake/gamed. "Noone will ever get my private key. That's why I...

    I use a travel backpack and a smaller sling bag. The travel bag I have his 35L. Also has a few d rings for fastening carabiners to, which sometimes I use for a shoe bag. I've done months on the road with only that setup. In it I have: Laptop Secondary portable monitor Toiletries Tech Pouch...

    How to Travel Light for a Year-Long Journey Across Europe and Beyond?

    This sounds like a list Andrew Tate would come up with. Where have you got all the driving licenses and IDs from? Why do you need to spend money storing socks in storage units around the globe when you can just buy them anywhere when you arrive? I travel much lighter than this - carry-on...

    Fiscal Setup for an European Youtuber

    That might be true if you have a business that you can turn on the revenue overnight, e.g. you work at a place, and if you leave, you know X clients will pivot to you immediately, which means revenue from day one. In which case, it would make sense to plan. But how can you advise on tax...

    Fiscal Setup for an European Youtuber

    Your setup is already optimised; your revenue is at $0, and you pay $0 tax on that revenue Making money from YouTube as a travel vlogger is extremely difficult, so I'd start filming and uploading some videos before you worry about tax optimisation. Remember, you need at least 1,000 subscribers...

    Yeah I had a message about KYC when I logged in, I've used the service and card infrequently since opening it a few years back. I probably have put about 5k euros through it in total.
