Bund will mehr Kompetenzen bei Cyberattacken

Sollte sich Faeser mit diesen Vorstellungen durchsetzen, müsste dafür das Grundgesetz geändert werden. Nach der Cybersicherheitsagenda von Faeser würde vor allem das Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI) gestärkt.

(…)

Linus Neumann vom Chaos Computer Club sagt: Eine zentrale Verantwortlichkeit zu schaffen sei sinnvoll.

Nancy Faeser will angesichts des #Ukraine-Kriegs die deutsche #Cyberabwehr stärken: „Wir müssen unsere Netze und Systeme so schützen, dass Angriffe von außen keinen Erfolg haben. Dazu wollen wir das Grundgesetz ändern und die #Cybersicherheit zentral koordinieren.“

Why Is The U.S. Sending Its Emergency Oil Reserves To China?

(08.07.2022)

What is most notable is that a third cargo headed to US arch-enemy, China, which is now directly benefiting at the expense of US consumers as a result of Biden‘s escalating panic to undo the consequences of his catastrophic green policies by selling the most valuable US assets directly to Beijing!

But what is even scarier is the following exchange, in which the White House simply had no response when asked if the US is selling its emergency reserve oil to China.

Saudis Unwilling To Upset Putin As Biden Begs For More Crude

(Jul 03, 2022)

The world’s largest crude oil exporter, Saudi Arabia, continues to keep close ties with Russia while the top oil consumer, the United States, pleads with major producers—including the Kingdom—to boost supply to the market and help ease consumers’ pain at the pump. While the U.S. and its Western allies are sanctioning Moscow and banning oil imports from Russia, U.S. President Joe Biden is also turning to Saudi Arabia to ask it to pump more oil as Americans pay on average $5 a gallon for gasoline.

Biden’s Quest for Saudi Oil Faces Reality-Check of Slim Capacity

The US president’s visit to a country he once vowed to isolate represents a significant thawing of relations, but the Saudis and their OPEC partners have limited spare production capacity to offer in return for this political concession. Some market watchers also question whether tapping this supply buffer would calm energy markets, or just make matters worse.

“A surge in Saudi production seems unlikely,” said Ben Cahill, senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

The Masochist in Chief: Biden, Israel and the Middle East

Israel is the only “western country” where Biden is less popular than Trump, even though his Middle East policy looks a lot like his predecessor’s – “the nuclear deal is out, the Saudis are in, and human rights are down”. And Israel is, once again, front and centre. If you thought his trip to Saudi Arabia is about Saudi Arabia or oil, think again. The main aim of his trip is to increase Israel’s security and deepen its integration in the region.

True, Biden is not the first president to spoil Israel rotten, but there is something much more bizarre about Biden’s relationship with Israel. It is sort of a sado-masochistic relationship – the greater the abuse the bigger the schmooze.

White House weighs restarting arms sales to Saudis as Biden visits: report

Senior Saudi officials have been in talks with their US counterparts in Riyadh and Washington for months about setting aside the ban that was established by President Biden in February 2021, Reuters reported. ​

Biden, who leaves Tuesday for a four-day trip to Israel, the West Bank and Saudi Arabia, is keen on resetting relations at a time when the US needs Saudi help to increase the global oil supply to bring down fuel prices that have reached record highs in recent months.
