After a nights sleep and now catching up on Zelenskyy's Fox interview. I'm going to focus on the media first.

1. X despite its criticism from many parties, including us here on NOSTR showed full unedited videos from the Whitehouse and Fox news while my own countries media, newspaper websites and legacy TV just showed photos or tiny clips with their own interpretation.

This is the problem we are all aware of. Give me the information, let me understand it directly, let me form my own opinion and then, if you absolutely have to, tell me your opinion. But I'm really not interested in your opinion.

So my views on the situation.

I've talked about the "Both sides being right" scenario many times and I first wrote about it in an article in 2016:

Russia have never wavered from the line that Ukraine joining NATO is unacceptable.

Europe (and previously the US) wanted Ukraine in NATO for its strategic position.

Ukraine fears its independence and so feels safer under NATO's umbrella.

This has played out with the current conflict and unless we want to escalate this to a world war, has resulted in a stalemate.

Ukraine is the sacrificial pawn, it, through no fault of its own is destined to pay a price.

Zelenskyy has yet to come to terms with this.

He will have to bow to America pressure and Trumps will, but he is not yet ready to do so.

I can understand this. Accepting loss is difficult.

I think that Ukraine will simply pay the price of Musk needing its minerals.

If it is easier done by Trump aligning with Russia and unlawfully dissolving Ukraine then this is how it will happen.

It would look better for the USA if it were wrapped in bullshit of saving Ukraine but it will be done either way.

Musk has invested in making the USA president, now he wants his return on investment.

That’s a strong statement, but suit yourself.

I am closing 5 decades and people often mistake me for an adult.

Fools

I wonder why you pick on commie.

Politicians are politicians.

Their views can be bought.

Make Donald Trump Great

As much as I despise the man, I take an idiot anytime.

Instead we’ve go narcissist with too much money and no moral compass that’s running the USA from the backseat.

Who did we piss off and when, so we are now sentenced to live in interesting times.

I don’t think it’s that easy to look at those numbers. Comparison of prices in dollars is pointless, one would have to somehow compare purchasing value of the same amount.

Do you know any sources that can provide duch information? I am quite curious but this math is beyond my capabilities.

The future of warfare is no longer kinetic; it is digital. The greatest battles will not be fought with tanks or missiles but with information, cryptographic assets, and the control of digital economies. In this emerging conflict, #Bitcoin is not just an asset—it is armor, a weapon, and a last line of defense for human sovereignty in cyberspace.

As the world shifts into an era of AI-driven economies, hyper-financialization, and total surveillance, individuals and nations alike are waking up to a fundamental truth: money is power, and digital money is the foundation of digital power. Bitcoin, with its absolute scarcity, censorship resistance, and decentralized infrastructure, stands apart from fiat currencies and centralized digital assets. It is not just a hedge against inflation—it is a hedge against control. The ability to hold and move value without permission is becoming the single greatest factor in who will have agency in the coming cyber era.

Imagine an internet divided into two layers. The first layer—the one we all use today—is an unprotected, AI-infested battleground of bots, deepfakes, surveillance, and corporate-controlled data. Fake engagement, manipulated narratives, and financial repression dominate this space. The second layer, however, is a protected digital zone, where access is secured by proof-of-work, cryptographic signatures, and Bitcoin-backed verification mechanisms. In this world, your Bitcoin holdings are not just wealth—they are your passport, your firewall, your defense against AI-driven manipulation.

Nation-states are already preparing for this shift. Some are accumulating Bitcoin as a strategic cyber weapon, while others are attempting to suppress its adoption through CBDCs and financial censorship. The war over digital scarcity has begun. Those who control fiat can print power at will, but those who hold Bitcoin control the hardest form of power in the digital age: energy-backed, state-resistant wealth. The question is not whether Bitcoin will play a role in cyber warfare—it already does. The real question is: Will individuals recognize its importance before the digital battlefield fully takes shape?

In a future where everything is tokenized and controlled, Bitcoin may be the only thing left that is truly free. It is not just a store of value; it is a shield, a weapon, and a statement of sovereignty. The new war is not over borders but over control of the digital realm. In this war, Bitcoin is the last safe haven.

While I don’t disagree

Three is shit ton of stuff that goes boom

And it seems to be quite a big fun to use it

And it’s a good money to be in business of making this stuff since in a worse case people will buy it for self defence

So yes. The meaningful wars will be (and I think already are) clean

But proxy wars will still cause much suffering by the boom making stuff.

Well

I would not be surprised if he would like to own Greenland.

But I doubt he owns Gulf of Mexico and that didn’t stop him renaming it.
