Danish Spy Agency Now Views US as a Possible Security Concern

A Danish intelligence agency has for the first time described the US as a potential security risk, signaling a shift in the Nordic country’s view of its close ally amid geopolitical frictions over Greenland.

An Orbital House of Cards: Frequent Megaconstellation Close Conjunctions

The number of objects in orbit is rapidly increasing, primarily driven by the launch of megaconstellations, an approach to satellite constellation design that involves large numbers of satellites paired with their rapid launch and disposal.

This paper paints a pretty grim picture of how fragile our situation in Low Earth Orbit has become, arguing that the whole orbital house of cards is one bad day away from collapsing. The authors introduce a new metric called the CRASH Clock which estimates how long it would take for a major collision to happen if we suddenly stopped doing active avoidance maneuvers. Back in 2018 that clock sat at a comfortable 121 days, meaning we had months of buffer if things went wrong. As of June 2025 that number has plummeted to just 2.8 days. That is a terrifyingly thin margin because it implies that if a massive solar storm knocked out communications or tracking for just a weekend we’d be looking at a 30% chance of a catastrophic collision.

The data shows that Starlink is the primary driver here with their 550 km shell now being denser than the debris fields from historical anti-satellite tests. The authors found that in this specific shell you’d expect a close approach of less than one kilometer every 11 minutes. It’s not just theoretical either since Starlink satellites are already performing collision avoidance maneuvers roughly every 1.8 minutes across the whole constellation. The system is basically relying on perfect operation and zero errors to keep functioning, which is exactly why the authors compare it to a house of cards.

What makes this really concerning is that we are likely already past the point of stability in some regions. The paper suggests that altitudes above 600 km and specifically the main Starlink shell are already dense enough to support a runaway chain reaction of collisions. Even if a full Kessler Syndrome event takes decades to play out a single major collision now would be like an Exxon Valdez moment for space, creating a mess that forces everyone to operate in a much riskier environment immediately. The 2.8-day buffer is barely enough time to recover from a major geomagnetic storm, let alone a systemic failure, and the fact that we let the margin for error shrink from four months to three days in just seven years is a massive failure of orbital management.

I en artikel i SVD som handlar om EU, Elon Musk och plattformen X samt de böter som EU dömt ut till X Corp står det:

Elon Musk rasade på X efter beskedet att EU-kommissionen bötfäller hans plattform med 120 miljoner euro.

– Kommissionen har slagit ned på tre punkter, samtliga handlar om bristande transparens, säger Carl Heath senior forskare på forskningsinstitutet Rise.

Months old now, but yeah, Canada's investment into "AI sovereignty" is to funnel hundreds of millions of dollars into a closely US-aligned company founded by a bunch of UoT jagoffs. If you read through their partnerships with Canada and the UK, it is filled with vague buzzphrases about improving national services and "sovereignty." Apparently , this could mean anything between writing emails for govt employees -- which means they're even less accountable for what they say and do -- or straight up making decisions for our public works. When was the last time you saw the federal government invest that much money into its services? Strange that they should make an investment like this alongside a massive expansion of military spending.

It's absolutely incredible to me that libs are funneling 3.8 billion to buy jets from the US, and funneling who knows how much money into these AI pyramid schemes instead of investing in things like our healthcare system, infrastructure, housing, or domestic industry. Our government will spend money literally on anything else other than actually improving living conditions in the country. And people wonder why the far right continues to be a growing force in Canada.

Why is it incredible? The only time liberals invests in public works is when they are forced to. That's how this system works and the current conditions are extremely favourable to further neoliberalisation of public funds. Canadians are white supremacist settlers in a particularly energetic nationalist moment. It is not hard to sell privileged people on the idea that Canada is threatened by the empire it is a part of and, because they are neglected a understanding of that system, many do believe that military expansion is how that happens.

This is not why the "far right" have experienced successful platforming in North America, it's because their rhetoric is already consistent with the interests of capital. While there are certainly poor fascists, most white people in this country are not so dependent on social welfare programs that erosion of those services fundamentally alters their politics. They already subscribe to those values, and perceived threats do not magnify them, they focus them. It is easy to tell middle-class white suburbanites that jobs and housing are bad b
