Silicon Bites Ep402 | 2026-09-17 | Flares at a Danish Helicopter, Drones over Lithuania and Moldova, Fire on Poland’s Doorstep — Putin Has Stopped Deterring Europe and Started Shaping the Future Battlefield. Two flares. No warning. No radio call. One passed within metres of a Danish military helicopter over the Baltic Sea on Monday. A few metres more, and Denmark would be burying aircrew killed by a Russian warship in international waters.
Moscow did not apologise. Moscow handed out a medal. On Wednesday, Russia’s Defence Ministry announced that Andrei Belousov had awarded the ship’s captain the medal “For Courage”. The courage in question was firing pyrotechnics at a helicopter on a perfectly legal monitoring mission. It is a pattern, not an isolated incident. It also forces the question Europe keeps dodging. Is Putin still trying to deter us, or has he already moved into the next phase?

If a successful country invests in a large and powerful military, it will be safer and also create vast numbers of highly skilled jobs.
Instead of doing that, the European democracies spunk $billions away on millions of feckless clients of the socialist welfare state. The UK is particularly guilty of this.
Krasnov is doing something similar by bribing idiots to vote for him.
Welfarism has got to die and be replaced by relentless militarism.
Otherwise vermin will once again occupy Europe.
