Microsoft has a threat analysis center?
What do you think Clippy does in sleep mode?
These days it’s more a concept than a place; the employees are almost all remote workers.
Cybersecurity mainly for their customers. I guess the data they gather can show trends. Fuckin’ gov-sponsored hackers, man.
Why do you think the military pays them billions in ambiguous contracts?
Because they don’t want to move past Windows 3.1?
Microsoft… Threat Analysis Center??
Since when does Microsoft cover geopolitics? Why is the software/video game company talking about coups in Africa?
Windows Defender is actually a mercenary software
I would say is “what is Russia trying to do start WW3?” But then I have to stop myself because as a USA citizen my country has done and still does the same things. It just feels like the point of governments and society is so we can collectivly find better solutions to our problems not to topple other societies for our own gain.
You think Russia is toppling African countries for its own gains? It’s far more likely that it’s providing material support for anti-imperialist and decolonial movements in order to open up more fronts that the North Atlantic has to deal with.
You realize the USSR fell more than thirty years ago, right?
You think Russia’s national self-interest isn’t served by anti-imperialist movements bogging down the North Atlantic?
Not directly, the way they are by inspiring coups in Africa. This isn’t Sankara, man. Russia is an empire engaging in recanchism. It’s asinine to think of them as an ally in anything anti authoritarian
You think a coup is anti-authoritarianism? A military coup? Are you daft? It’s an absolutely authoritarian response to centuries of authoritarian dominance. Russia is fighting the imperialist bloc, African nations are fighting the imperialist bloc. They are allies in the fight against imperialism, not against authoritarianism. Only liberals in the West analyze things along “authoritarian” lines.
Oh you’re a red-brown fascist
