Amalia wrote that if diplomacy had developed differently in late 1940 or early 1941, the Soviet Union could have attacked Greece while it was fighting Italy. She argued that the German-Soviet pact did not define spheres of influence in the Balkans and that Stalin was particularly interested in Bulgaria. According to her post, on November 25, 1940, Soviet diplomat Arkady Sobolev conveyed a proposal for an alliance in Sofia. Amalia stated that the USSR offered Bulgaria military support in case of threat, support for its territorial claims in Greek areas, non-interference in its internal politics, and free grain and oil. In return, she claimed, it sought to establish naval and air bases in Varna and Burgas, while Stalin asked Hitler to recognize Bulgaria as part of the Soviet sphere of influence. Amalia argued that the Comintern, in a message signed by Georgi Dimitrov, called on the Bulgarian Communist Party to mobilize politicians and the public in favor of the proposal. She estimated that Soviet support for Bulgarian claims would require an ultimatum to Greece and, in the event of refusal, an invasion by Soviet and Bulgarian troops. In the post, Hitler prevented the agreement, warning of a potential Sovietization of Bulgaria and promising the Bulgarians the same Greek territories without war. Amalia noted that King Boris rejected the Soviet proposal and that Bulgaria joined the Axis in March 1941. #Ιστορία #ΕλληνοϊταλικόςΠόλεμος #ΣοβιετικήΈνωση (translated)

Aggelos Chorianopoulos stated that the American defense startup Shield AI signed a co-development and partial co-production agreement with GEK TERNA in Greece for the unmanned X-BAT, which uses the Hivemind artificial intelligence software. He presented the agreement as a significant defense project which, he said, was linked to Marco Rubio's departure from Greece. According to him, the X-BAT is designed as a "loyal wingman" for the F-35s and will be capable of carrying AGM-154 JSOW and AGM-158C LRASM anti-ship missiles. He added that Hivemind enables autonomous targeting within enemy A2/AD zones and noted that the V-BAT can already operate in such areas. Chorianopoulos argued that the agreement includes Greece in a new American defense architecture, with a central role for artificial intelligence, machine learning, domestic data centers, and co-productions with foreign companies. He also mentioned that Shield AI was already collaborating with the Greek EFA GROUP on software matters, although more details are not known. He stated that he had proposed the V-BAT, the FPV of Resilience Tech, the X-BAT, and the Switchblade two years before their acquisition, while estimating that the same would happen with the Corsair. He described the vote of confidence in the Greek defense industry and the tax policy for businesses as unprecedented. He attributed GEK TERNA's selection to its industrial capacity, facilities, and international presence, while asserting that American companies do not choose partners based on personal relationships with politicians. #ΑμυντικήΣυνεργασία #ΤεχνητήΝοημοσύνη #Ελλάδα (translated)
