We are only a few iterations away from that YouTube video of droids that can identify their targets based on- race, gender, face ->political affiliation etc etc.
That thing can carry that much ordinance and loiter for 45 minutes? Terminator was way off there won't be any meaningful human resistence
So the 10th largest yacht in the world, the Ocean Victory, owned by Russian oligarch Victor Rashnikov, who is under sanctions, is docking in Alaska tomorrow. 90 (probably reprehensible) people aboard (plus crew). Would be kinda cool if we seized that shit… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_Victory_(yacht)
12th now, but still, seize that shit, mount some armor and cannons of it, hand it over to the ukrainian navy. (yes i know the last few parts are idle dreams, but the idea of the russian navy shooting that piece of overcompensation to smithereens would be so amusing to me.
didnt some hedge fund basically impound a frigate of the argentinian navy or something like that, so there is some legal basis here
How in the world is the boat of a Russian whose under sanctions docking at a US port and not being seized?
Because if we do that, then Trump voters will accuse us of being communists and they’ll never vote for us! /Democrats
Not sure how you know about it, but I'd hope the US/International Agencies would know this as well. I'd still report what you know so that there's records of someone saying it's a thing.
Not sure how to share just one video from Twitter. It always shows multiple. The top video is a dupe, but the face had to be shared.
Sets a dangerous precedent for US Capitalists. Hits a little too close to home. Puts thoughts in the minds of the masses that the bosses would prefer they did not have.
And the hungry countries that are starting to desperately need that grain are going to buy it up, no questions asked.
I was wondering how much “advising” we were doing in those early days and it’s looking more and more like we were doing a lot. Not just us either. Really encouraging. I hope it continues. https://www.defenseone.com/threats/...planning-cell-run-army-special-forces/367574/
Hard to tell who is “winning” this new phase of the war but it is very clear that it is inflicting much higher casualty rates on Ukraine than the first phase did. personally from what I can gather Russia may be holding a slight lead in this phase…but they still haven’t accomplished anything of note.
some of the local journalists over there quote tweet newsmax and fox news and stuff. I don’t think they understand the context
Wonder if it’s intentional to court lagging public opinion and/or legislative holdouts edit: I’d hope newsmax is too small/insignificant to be the case
yeah I think Zelensky sees the American public losing interest in Ukraine and is trying to win over the most pro Putin segment of the Far Right
