It is also quite ironic how commonly they use Chamberlain analogies. Munich and Chamberlain stories are supposedly cautionary tales about what the appeasement of aggression leads to. But they were ironically used for justifying many aggressions.

Make no mistake, they do it deliberately to to drown out the significance of every other war, despite being the aggressor in almost every single conflict they engage in.

You will not hear Vietnam, you will not hear Mexico and you will not hear Iraq or Afghanistan or even WW1. Because they are exactly what inspired Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan to go on the genocidal rampage, the Axis are just failed imitators of the anglos.

Not only was there no welcome reception for von der Leyen at the airport, they made her take the subway into town:

Ursula's reception, maybe she won't even get a chair this time

That french minister tweeted they separated with those photos, implying she probably got a ride. Also is that the subway? I thought that was the shuttle train in the airport.

Not sure this is true but was she invited to China because if she was, she would have gotten some kind of welcome, I mean Baerbock got a shocking reception when she went to the G20 this year, but she got something but it seems like Ursula got into the China almost like a thief in the night hence no reception and now it seems like she is a sore thumb that seems to remind China of the empress dowager who is another hated figure that reeks of the elite class to the extreme but really Ursula really is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Seems to be only their to spoil things for the USA, nothing more

Judging by Ukraine, if we’re going back to ww1 battle tactics, we’re gonna need flamethrowers


The Ukraine war is just the preview to what the next major conflict could be. Imagine masses of Chinese made drones that never need to return to the ground to be recharged

Loitering munitions charged in such ways could enable the PLA to cover territory without a physical presence simply by killing anything that isn’t Chinese.

Let us never forget Assange and what he gave to the world

It's funny how right you are, actually. All an NLP model like ChatGPT seeks to do is to take an input (your prompt), perform a lot of linear algebra on it, and output the "least dissimilar" sequence of text when compared to the training data. Obviously there's more to it on a technical level, but fundamentally it's just a very high-functioning algorithm to produce the most turbo-normie responses possible.

Well he is a economist can't really expect that much from those people, especially the western kind.
Most engineers would see the unlimited potentional of big computer networks making it easy to share documents and data.

Hell that probably why they came up with the idea in the first place some engineer was probably freaking tired of writing shit on floppies disk and sending it by mail. And though maybe we should use cables like telephones to send data over the wire.

Yeah I know of the origin story of arpanet and of the tcp/ip protocol etc. The above was just an example how a random engineer would think about the problem of sending data by postal service.

they're probably gonna sign some MoUs and call it a day. same thing happened in italy and it's not leading anywhere.
these kind of deals used to mean something (and they probably still do in countries like china), but in the west? I dunno, all it takes is one election and everything can be unraveled and walked back
