早上邊聽這篇投書邊想: 阿敗一定反其道而行的啦~
"The U.S. should remain committed to NATO’s defense but husband its critical resources for the primary fight in Asia, and Taiwan in particular. Denying China the ability to dominate Asia is more important than anything that happens in Europe. To be blunt: Taiwan is more important than Ukraine. America’s European allies are in a better position to take on Russia than America’s Asian allies are to deal with China. The Chinese can’t be allowed to think that America’s distraction in Ukraine provides them with a window of opportunity to invade Taiwan. The U.S. needs to act accordingly, crisis or not."
雖然不意外但還是挺驚嘆賊膽與厚臉皮:
"多家日媒引述《共同社》消息指出,為落實防疫,北京冬奧主辦單位要求,所有參與者,包含參賽選手、媒體及觀眾等都必須安裝「冬奧通」App(My2022),並透過該款App記錄健康狀況,不過該款App被指存在安全漏洞,可能會造成未經授權的訪問。
對此情況,日本政府呼籲減少使用My2022,伊東秀仁13日在北京冬奧的主媒體中心召開記者會時也表示,已告知代表團在回國後要徹底刪除該款App。"
困惑: 之前七年的官方數據都有達到這個數字, 所以官方是預期今年有困難嗎?
"報導引述李克強的批示指出,當前冬小麥的苗情偏弱,促弱轉壯任務繁重,要因地、因苗抓好春季田管,做好病蟲害防控和極端天氣應對防範,力爭夏糧再獲豐收。同時要加強農業生產扶持力度,保障農資生產供應、穩定農資價格,加強農業技術指導,保證春耕備播順利開展。
李克強強調,要穩定糧食播種面積,統籌肉蛋菜等菜籃子產品生產,加強耕地保護和高標準農田建設,深入實施種業振興行動,確保全年糧食產量繼續保持在1.3兆斤以上,確保糧食安全。"
這場疫情帶來的影響恐怕是歷史性的:
"所有被迫採取與病毒共存策略的國家,在一年后回來看,如果發現有超過兩成的人口喪失了健全的腦力與體力,他們是否還會採取同樣的策略?如果這個數字,會成長到人口的四成呢?
目前全世界有超過4億的人口染疫,初估會有超過25%的人有不同症狀的Long Covid,1億人的數字是非常驚人的。大叔的美國與英國朋友從去年春天染疫到所謂康復之後,體力衰退跟腦霧的狀況非常顯著,他們的親友也有許多人出現不同的症狀,夾雜著咳嗽/胸腔疼痛/倦怠等情況。
沒有針對染疫者的長期健康追蹤分析,沒有人知道所謂的康復者兩三年後會是什麼樣子。全世界都在冒險,而有些國家比某些國家冒更多的險。大國還有本錢拿人口去賭,小國卻很容易在未來垮。"

還真有媒體清點英國皇家海軍主要的幾艘45型驅逐艦, 發現大部分都卡在動力系統改善計畫而難以出戰:
"The initial shoreside support arrangement for the Type 45s was not ideal and relied on a contracting-for-availability approach for the first eight years. This has now been re-negotiated with BAE Systems and the Common Support Model is now addressing poor in-house stores, tools, training and technical documentation issues. The Equipment Improvement Plan (EIP) has implemented design changes to the ships, helping improve resilience and allowing them to deploy on operations all over the world but with some limitations and total power failures are still occasionally experienced. Funding was agreed in 2015 but actual work on the first ship to undergo the Power Improvement Package (PIP) which promises to cure the problem, was not started until five years later."

回顧這些聲樂影音時都會覺得能在茫茫網海中聽到的機會實在難得:
WSJ這篇用地圖詳細解說俄羅斯與白羅斯的軍力佈署:
"The U.S. and its North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies have sent antitank weapons, Stinger air-defense missiles and other battlefield systems to Ukraine. Ukraine also has acquired Turkish-made drones, one of which it used in October to destroy a howitzer manned by Russian-backed separatists. Still, the arms shipments the U.S. and its partners have provided haven’t included sophisticated air defenses or antiship missiles, hampering Ukrainians’ ability to defend themselves against Russia’s more modern military."
"The battalion tactical groups are capable of fast maneuvering on open terrain, including a rush toward Kyiv, U.S. officials said, but are also too small to defend large areas. If a major attack is ordered, traditional Russian regiments and brigades would likely follow to consolidate gains, according to current and former officials. Russian helicopters, which have been observed moving toward the region, could also be used to insert airborne troops at road junctions and bridges, and to fire at Ukrainian reinforcements moving to the front.
Adding to Russia’s firepower are Iskander surface-to-surface missile brigades, whose deployments within range of Ukraine have tripled since October, according to Phillip Karber of the Potomac Foundation, a policy research organization. Along with Kalibr cruise missiles deployed on vessels in the Black Sea, the Iskander missiles could strike airfields, ammunition storage sites, air defenses, army bases and command centers throughout Ukraine. Russia could use bombers to fire air-launched cruise missiles."
三個月後果然就看到解放軍開始對馬祖蠢蠢欲動了:
"The aircraft’s low flight path suggests it was trying to avoid being detected by radar, said Su Tzu-yun, an associate research fellow at the Institute for National Defense and Security Research, a Taipei-based think tank that is backed by the Taiwanese military."
"In the days since, Taiwanese media blasted the military for not doing more to keep the public informed. A former vice air marshal in the Taiwanese air force, Chang Yan-ting, echoed that criticism, adding that the incident also showed Taiwanese military leaders had allowed themselves to be distracted by Chinese military activity elsewhere."
台印在太空領域上互補:
"波里亞達士南認為,台灣和印度未來可結合彼此強項,透過學生衛星及示範科技,在遙感探測和太空科學等方面加強合作,並建議雙方應進行經常性的師生交換。
INSPIRESat-1是「國際研究與教學人造衛星計畫」(INSPIRE)學術聯盟的研發成果。中央大學、CU Boulder和IIST於2016年共同成立這個聯盟,集結資源及技術執行衛星任務,並為學生提供實作機會。聯盟會員至今已增至12間學術組織。
張起維說,透過INSPIRE聯盟,中央大學得以貢獻多年的衛星酬載開發及太空科學研究經驗,同時從有經驗的學校習得衛星設計、整測與操作技術。"
劉泰英對美中開戰的評估尚可討論,但美國象驢兩黨都不可能為了烏克蘭而支持總統動用核武手段吧?
"他指出,俄羅斯一旦對烏克蘭開火,美國勢必介入,美俄都是核武強國,真的進行武力對峙,場面恐失控成核子大戰,那是任何元首無法承受的風險,所以儘管氣氛緊張,但應該不用太過驚慌。"
"劉泰英說,美國現在已公開表態要保護台灣,若中國真的敢進犯台海,美國一定會凍結中國在美國的資產,這包括中國政府持有的1兆多美元的美國政府公債,還有中共高官貪污藏在美國的財產,「請問有哪一位中共高層會和自己辛苦污來的財產開玩笑?」"
金融時報這篇明顯提醒歐盟不要在俄烏緊張時刻站錯邊:
"「金融時報」指出,在歐洲、亞洲及美國,許多政策制定者認為中國對立陶宛的作為堪稱全球經濟活動分水嶺;雖然中國「以經逼政」的手段已可見於此前與加拿大、澳洲等國的紛爭,但與立陶宛的爭端是中國第一次企圖在供應鏈層面規訓企業,也是中國第一次對歐盟成員國「火力全開」。
立陶宛經濟暨創新部部長阿爾莫奈特(Ausrine Armonaite)說:「今天是立陶宛,明天可以是任何其他國家。」中國正考驗歐盟各國是否能置共同戰略利益於個別國家或企業的短期獲益之上。"
"波蘭「東方研究中心」(OSW)資深研究員亞可包斯基分析,中國對立陶宛和其他歐盟國家的脅迫手段可謂中國與全球供應鏈「脫鉤」政策的一環,包括讓更多大型外國企業將更大部分的供應鏈轉移至中國。
在全歐有數座分支機構的智庫「歐洲外交關係協會」(European Council on Foreign Relations)政策研究員哈肯布洛西(Jonathan Hackenbroich)指出,歐盟內部的政治分歧、短期內缺乏有效工具應對經貿脅迫,又依賴中國市場,在在讓北京相對處於優勢。"
"研究員無法辨認出黑猩猩在療法中使用的昆蟲種類,但他們認為這是種飛蟲,因黑猩猩會快速移動將其捕捉。皮卡表示,這種昆蟲可能含有具有舒緩作用的抗發炎物質。
科學家已經觀察到鳥類、熊、大象和其他動物透過食用植物來自我治療。但黑猩猩的獨特之處在於,牠們不僅會為自己治療,還會幫助同伴。"
阿本這個答應法感覺是只夠讓歐洲塞牙縫?....
"根據了解,在此背景下,日本政府接受美國拜登政府的提議,基本上決定將援助歐洲液化天然氣,幫助歐洲確保能源的穩定供應。日本政府接受美國政府提議做出這樣的決定十分罕見。
具體援助的方法是在確保國內電力穩定供應所需天然氣之餘,日本政府將要求擁有液化天然氣權益的能源企業等單位,希望他們配合政府決定援助歐洲。"
三個月後印尼順利補入美法新戰機:
"美國防合作安全局當地時間週四發布聲明,國務院同意出售印尼政府36架F-15ID戰鬥機,87台F110-GE-129或F100-PW-229引擎,45組AN/APG-82(V)1型電子掃描陣列雷達(AESA)雷達系統,45組AN/ALQ-250鷹式主被動警告暨生存性系統(EPAWSS)等軍事設備,以及提供相關後勤支援,總金額約139億美元(約新臺幣3905億)。
美政府表示,藉由軍售提升區域內重要夥伴維安能力,可維持印太地區的政治局勢穩定和經濟繁榮,符合美國的外交政策目標和國家安全利益,「協助印尼發展並維持強大有效的自我防衛能力,對美國的國家利益來說至關重要。"
北約廢弛到丹麥考慮接受美國駐軍:
"丹麥是美國的緊密盟國,扼守船隻進出波羅的海的門戶,戰略位置重要,且俄國在波羅的海有軍事基地。
佛瑞德里克森表示:「丹麥與美國直接達成這類協議,將在丹麥數個獲選軍區開啟新的合作與活動,可能包括讓美國軍人進駐丹麥領土。」"
昨晚看的時候還不知道他右腳出問題, 今天知道後更欽佩了:
"羽生結弦去年12月全日本錦標賽就嘗試4A難度的4周半跳,但當時被判為3周半跳,不過這回在冬奧殿堂,他成功完成4周半跳,只是被判定為旋轉角度不足,但這依舊是國際滑冰總會(ISU)首次在國際賽判定有人完成4周半跳。"
俄羅斯與白羅斯藉軍演名義封鎖烏克蘭所有出海口:
"The blockade has underscored the vulnerability of Ukraine’s southern coastline and its ports, as well as the inability of Ukraine and NATO to deter Moscow in the Black Sea."
這下東協諸國有得拿翹了:
"President Biden isn’t expected to offer tariff cuts and other traditional market-opening tools to trading partners, which are opposed by U.S. labor groups and their Democratic allies as well as some Republicans on grounds that they come at the expense of U.S. jobs and manufacturing.
At the same time, these so-called market-access measures are considered essential to building stronger U.S. relations in the region, particularly with less developed nations in South and Southeast Asia seeking to sell more agricultural and manufacturing products in the U.S. market."
英國雖然比北約的德國好太多, 但真要派軍也是有得惦量而只能保守為之:
"The UK has also offered to deploy a Type 45 destroyer, deploy HMS Trent in the eastern Mediterranean, send RAF jets to southern Europe, and double the 900 troops based in Estonia as part of an existing Nato battlegroup."
網友的中文摘要:
"EIU根據選舉過程與多元性、政府運作、政治參與、政治文化與公民自由五項指標制訂民主指數,滿分10分,總分8分以上為「完全民主」(full democracy),6分至8分為「有缺陷的民主」(flawed democracy),4分至6分為「混合型政體」(hybrid regime),4分下以為「威權政體」(authoritarian regime)。"
"今年民主指數報告的標題是「中國的挑戰」,全球半數以上的人居住在非民主國家,更有超過三分之一的人口居住在威權政體之下,其中以中國為最大宗。
中國在全球排名第148名,比剛果、辛巴威、蘇丹等國更不民主,報告特別專章分析中國國家主導的資本主義的成績如何為世界民主帶來挑戰,成為全球民主進展的重大威脅。"
