The more fundamental question is why a degree should be necessary to run for President. US does not require one for example.

If you look at Change 5 and 6, they seem to do the same image processing based landing control. This doesn't seem to be a cost cutting measure, since the image processing is computationally much more complex than using a radar altimeter.

This conflict may be a disaster for Ukraine, but how is this conflict a disaster for Europe?

Is Europe going to ratchet military spending at Putins's bluff?

Is no one in Europe not skeptical of the increase in defense spending? Things have costs, that money is having to come from somewhere.

Is increasing traditional military spending the way to go in the 21st century? If the decision is left to military leaders,they might spend massive amounts of money preparing to fight yesterday's war.

If you set aside alarmist positions, it may very well possible that Russia has no interests in military conflict with rest of Europe beyond Ukraine.

In that case what is the best thing Europeans could do?

There is danger and risk in military over spending at this juncture, and Europe needs to be level headed about it.

But still it is only grand speeches we are getting from Europe.

And is any one in Europe not skeptical of any increase in defense spending? Things have costs, that money is having to come from somewhere.

But in general, there is lot of fear mongering and fatalism in European leadership. Secondarily, the concept that history can repeat itself is very dubious, the circumstances and events are far too complex for such a simple interpretation.

They have the MC-21 under development as well, though not much information seems available.

What we are seeing from Europeans in response is rather weak sabre rattling.

They don't seem to give an impression of being able to work out a coherent policy or show any initiative.

The EU leaders, include Ursula Von Leyen speak big noble sounding words, but do very little.

Perhaps one reason is that US thought that the globalized free trade world system will always benefit it more than other nations. However in the last few years China grew big, and figured out how to make that system work in a manner advantageous to them. So US is under-cutting that system, or in other words changing the rules of the game so that China can't make progress easily.

Fundamental question is will US be ever able to come to terms with a world in which US is not the dominant world power?

Practically if you look at the British or Russians, it doesn't seem to make much difference to the lives of ordinary people, the losing of 'world power' status.

You don't trust the OS do that kind of safeguarding?

It does feel very reddit-esque the comment, because it seems a tad like an interesting yarn to farm attention without having content of substance.

From the article:

"I'm not at liberty to go into much detail, but I know Canadians would understand when you're saying the government of Canada is taking measures to protect national security, that's serious."

In other words, Canadian government saying, "Just trust us, bro".
