Mark #Rutte, le Secrétaire général de l' #OTAN s'est retrouvé en difficulté face aux questions de journalistes, lors d'une conférence de presse avant le sommet de l'OTAN :
Rutte n'a pas su donner de réponse claire, ni fournir de preuves, aux questions : "pourquoi il croit que la Russie pourrait attaquer les pays de l'OTAN dans les 5 prochaines années", et "sur quoi est fondée sa prédiction d'une éventuelle attaque de la Russie", comme il n'arrête pas de l'affirmer à qui veut l'entendre.En réponse, Rutte a été confus, il a parlé de "préoccupation générale de l'alliance", puis a mentionné des déclarations du ministre allemand de la défense et de dirigeants militaires et des responsables du renseignement, selon lesquels la Russie "pourrait" attaquer l'OTAN dans... 3, 5, 7 ou 9 ans... si l'alliance n'augmente pas ses dépenses de défense.
- "Donc nous sommes préoccupés" a répondu Rutte.Et à la question : "et pour quelle raison, Moscou lancerait une attaque sur les pays de l'Alliance ?" Rutte s'est contenté de répondre que "si la #Russie attaque, elle devrait faire face à des conséquences dévastatrices de la part de l'OTAN", mais sans répondre à la question posée, ni fournir de preuves concrètes à l'appui de ses affirmations alarmantes.
Rutte a soutenu que l'OTAN se prépare à un conflit avec la Russie et que selon ses estimations, les préparatifs dureraient de 3 à 5 ans. Ses déclarations faisaient suite à une visite qu'il a faite à un Think Tank à Londres. Et il avait ajouté que les pays de l'OTAN "devraient faire face à la nécessité d'apprendre le Russe" s'ils n'augmentaient pas leur production de défense"...
Le Président russe Vladimir #Poutine a souligné à plusieurs reprises que la #Russie n'a aucune intention de partir en guerre contre l' #Europe ou l'OTAN. Le chef de l'État Russe a même qualifié de telles déclarations "d'inepties". Selon lui, l'UE essaie simplement d'effrayer sa propre population avec de telles inventions pour pomper l'argent de ses concitoyens.
Le chef de l'État a ajouté que la Russie ne considère pas l'augmentation du potentiel militaire de l'OTAN comme une menace, puisque la Russie possède tout ce qu'il faut pour garantir sa Sécurité : "Les Forces armées russes et le potentiel de défense sont en cours de développement et de modernisation continus", a-t-il ajouté.
Quant à la phrase de Rutte, disant que les pays de l'OTAN "devraient apprendre le Russe", le vice-président russe de la Sécurité Dmitry Medvedev lui a répondu par un tweet :
- "Le secrétaire général Rutte, a manifestement abusé des champignons magiques tant appréciés des Néerlandais. Mais il a raison sur un point : il devrait apprendre le Russe. Cela pourrait lui être utile dans un camp sibérien".

There have now been more measles cases in 2025 than in any other year since the contagious virus was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000, according to new data released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Experts worry that if vaccination rates do not improve, deadly outbreaks will become the new normal.

On July 5, 2025, Patriot Front activists marched in Louisville, Kentucky in honor of Independence Day. A speech was given at the Jefferson County Courthouse by Thomas Rousseau.
Can Americans claim to be independent if we are attacked, betrayed, undercut, and controlled by both foreign nations and foreign money? If our nation is sold out from under us by exported jobs, and further ruined by imported foreign invaders to claim dominion over the soil which our forebears fought and died for to pass down as our heritage, are we a nation which has independence?
The time for celebration and innocent fun on July 4 is inappropriate when we are in such dire and revolutionary times. The activist stands up to fight and make his stand against a country which has betrayed him and seeks his obliteration in favor of more easily controlled third world peasants and violent invaders.
The era of globalism has ended. Nationalist action is creating the crucible in which the men who will save our nation are forged.

It's odd to me that people talk about data centers in terms of megawatts, a measure of electric power. For one example among many, a Bloomberg article from March about Microsoft cancelling data center plans began:
Microsoft Corp. has walked away from new data center projects in the US and Europe that would have amounted to a capacity of about 2 gigawatts of electricity, according to TD Cowen analysts, who attributed the pullback to an oversupply of the clusters of computers that power artificial intelligence.
"Data center projects that...amounted to a capacity of about 2 gigawatts of electricity" is a nonsensical statement. The (technical) capacities of a data center have to do with storage, compute, transmission, and latency. I understand there's probably some Fermi calculation along the lines of converting electric power to compute capacity using the TDP of NVIDIA's latest GPUs or something like that. Nevertheless, it's misleading to speak this way, not to mention lazy. It is oversimplifying in a bad way, treating data centers as utilities that supply a commodity when that is just not the case (at least not with AI, where prices for services still fluctuate fairly wildly).

"...The RCMP has charged four men, including two active members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), with being part of an extremist plot that allegedly involved creating an anti-government militia with a massive trove of weapons.
In a news release Tuesday morning, the Mounties said the group was involved in an alleged ideologically motivated violent plot "intending to forcibly take possession of land in the Quebec City area." ..."
