In other words - #conscription!

  9. Maduro has possible legal challenges – likely long shots – we will see at some point.

    1) Head of State and Official Acts Immunity – provides that the current head of a foreign state may not be tried either criminally or civilly in a US court. The question = Maduro a “current head of a foreign state”.

    2) Official Acts Immunity – Maduro may claim the accused illegal acts were official conduct and those cannot be prosecuted. Will the Courts accept the executive branch’s assertion that the activities are not “official” acts. The Supreme Court has yet to resolve this and have characterized it as “thorny” question.

    3) Venue – Current law states that defendants from other countries must be tried “in the district in which the offender ... is arrested or first brought”. Before arriving in New York State, there was a stop in Guantanamo Bay. Maduro could argue he was not “first brought” to SDNY, therefore the case is null.

  14. The #EU is scrambling to increase its #defences against countries such as Russia and is willing to spend billions. I don't disagree with this. However, climate change is a far more pressing issue - where is the immedate #action on that?

  19. With #fb making moves to join the #fediverse, i see a little benefit to more public acceptance.
    On the other hand i am pretty sure that they will just #hoover and #scrape all this public data.
    They may not be able to algorithmically influence #timelines, but i am left wondering if there are any #defences #defence against this data collection.

    Any pointers or information welcome! Please boost for reach.

  23. CW: News about the war in #Ukraine

    A new report warns that #Ukraine is in danger of running out of air defence weaponry to stave off #Russian air #attacks. The report by the London-based Royal United Services Institute says that Ukraine could soon run out of air #defences after sustained attack from Russian #missiles and #drones. It says that Western nations should increase their supplies to Ukraine, and consider sending modern jet fighters to #Kyiv, which NATO has so far resisted.
