False. Europe is spending big money on American weapons. The independence story was only an excuse to get more money.

As for the Russia story, nice to see Red Scare works as good as in America when they dismantled their healthcare for the military industrial complex.
They are also spending big on domestic arms production. France will be a big winner out of this since they've long valued independent military arms production and the rest of Europe will want to buy French stuff (yes along with American stuff) while they get their arms production up and running. South Korea is also a big arms supplier internationally.
The reduction in US support for NATO is largely part of a pivot to focusing on Taiwan and China. The US military industry would love it if the US focused on both and kept cozy relations with europe. I'm sure they're happy with the whole world increasing defense spending amid rising tensions, but they aren't happy about the US scaring away customers. I hate how involved the US military is globally but acting like Trump is some mastermind of American imperialism is reductive and giving him too much credit. The thought that Europe shouldn't be worried about Russia (the ones currently invading a European country) is bonkers.

Had my first phishing/scam email that purported to come from Bandcamp. Quite well worded (for once) and supposedly inviting you to an elite artist promotion scheme.
I forwarded it to support@bandcamp.com and within hours they replied confirming my suspicions, thanking me and saying they'd taken steps to prevent the Bandcamp page contact form being used as the phishing portal (that was how it had been done).
Excellent response by Bandcamp support I must say.
So KEEP EM PEELED!

🚨 There are reports from #Gaza about a sophisticated ambush in which Israeli soldiers were killed and injured, and some of which are still unaccounted for. It's unclear if they're under the rubble of destroyed buildings, or captured by the resistance fighters. It seems it's still an ongoing situation.

A federal judge has ruled that Anthropic's use of copyrighted works to train AI is transformative and fair use.
An important caveat is that in this particular case, the authors conceded that "training LLMs did not result in any exact copies nor even infringing knockoffs of their works being provided to the public."
The ruling says authors are still free to sue in the future if they can prove those things happen.

You’ve probably met Torx, the star-shaped screw that has become common in our phones, consoles, and cars. But have you met Torx Plus? It's the high-tech upgrade nobody told you about: straighter walls, zero cam-out, and way more torque transfer. Sounds great, until you try to open your gadget and realize your trusty T5 doesn’t fit anymore.

Not going to lie, it's stories like this that make me scratch my head. This kid has been "referred" to the Juvenile Justice System 7 times already and the Judge released the kid while he awaits trial for an armed carjacking that resulted in one of the victims getting shot and wounded, and the kids' accomplice getting shot and killed.
Kids in and around Albuquerque know they can literally get away with murder because the Courts will simply let them go, free to car jack yet another person, or kill someone.

For the 12 day war with Iran, so far
"...directly and indirectly, the war could cost Israel up to $20 billion"
"...the Israeli government is considering one of the three following measures to cover the widening budget deficit: cutting down on public spending on health and education, increasing taxes, or resorting to borrowing, which could bump up the public debt to national income ratio by over 75 percent"
How about US taxpayers money?

@prolrage From what I hear they've been losing TANKS and other armored vehicles in Gaza. Not only that, these tanks are being knocked out using locally produced antitank weapons from Gaza's obviously excellent local workshops.
Retaliating against civilians whether with firing squads or with carpet bombing is straight out of the Nazi playbook. Thus we know who the freedom fighters and who the Nazis are in this war.
Such IOF behavior as torturing unarmed prisoners with acid and cigarette butts won't stop Merkava tanks from having their turrets blown off, nor will it bring back the tank crews that seconds earlier were firing at tents full of civilians.

Al-Quds, Al-Qassam, and Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades launch coordinated attacks against Israeli occupation forces in Khan Younis as part of the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation.
#Palestinian #resistance factions in #Gaza have announced multiple successful operations targeting Israeli vehicles in the Strip, confirming casualties among the Israeli Occupation Forces.
As part of the ongoing Al-Aqsa Flood Operation, Palestinian resistance fighters persist in attacking Israeli forces operating inside the Gaza Strip, causing Israeli military casualties with both killed and wounded soldiers.
The Al-Quds Brigades also announced today that they had carried out a coordinated operation, beginning with the detonation of a minefield targeting Israeli military vehicles advancing in the Huda Square area east of Gaza City's #Shujaiya neighborhood, forcing soldiers and officers to take shelter in nearby houses.
The fighters then targeted the troops who had taken cover inside the houses, first with a guided missile, followed by an anti-fortification TBG shell. Afterwards, the fighters engaged Israeli soldiers in close-quarters combat using light and medium weapons, leaving casualties of both dead and wounded, according to a statement released by Al-Quds Brigades.

The Israeli military says five of its soldiers have been killed after Palestinian fighters detonated explosive devices during an operation in northern Gaza’s Beit Hanoon area.
The Israeli military said the five soldiers, aged between 20 and 28, “fell during combat in the northern #Gaza Strip”, while 14 others sustained injuries – two of them “severely wounded”.
“What we understand is that the #Israeli soldiers were attacked, then the unit that tried to come to their rescue was also attacked, and then a third group of soldiers that tried to extract them was also attacked,” she said.
aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/8/fi…
In a statement published on Telegram on Tuesday, Abu Obeida added that the #war of attrition being waged by Resistance fighters across the Gaza Strip, from north to south, continues to inflict daily losses on the Israeli occupation.
"Our fighters launched their attack from the very ruins the occupation believed were devoid of life," Abu Obeida stated, adding, "The war of attrition our fighters are fighting across the entire Gaza Strip, from the North to the South, will continue to cost the enemy more losses by the day."
