@cstross@wandering.shop @Photo55@mastodon.social Poland has thousands of volunteers who have been fighting in Ukraine for years. I'm sure every NATO country has been observing and working on replicating drone warfare units and training on the Ukrainian standard.

The $1776 "warrior dividend" that Trump announced yesterday is actually just a renaming of an existing, already authorized military housing allowance. Shocked. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/12/18
