I too was wondering what’s going on there. My bet is it’s his sock with a hole. Wouldn’t take him for a man who wears red socks. Maybe it’s his pantyhose.

He will act as if it was his. EU should prepare accordingly. The ONLY sensible reason to have that agreement signed is to buy time. Any other thinking is delusional. I very much hope the EU political and military elites are conscious of this.

laugh, but prepare

A band of hunters was needed to take a mammoth down. Not a single person. And frequently they used traps to immobilize the animal before killing it from some distance with spears and stones.

“plan to” why plan? Just do it.

Too late Andy. You are not going to be part of the tech overlord aristocracy, no matter how much you simp now.

Maybe it’s a good thing for you. May avoid the french doctor’s invention that way.

It’s not even guaranteed that moving faster is a good thing. The first to get somewhere will find out all the problems there, which the companies behind them will learn from, and avoid going there.

I narrowly dodged that bullet

sadly , that’s a plausible explanation

“assuming he wasn’t one himself” look up Geli Raubal and the allegiations of abusive sexual relationship between her (as a minor) and Hitler. Moreover, they were relatives. Just like Ivanka and Donnie Daughterfucker.

“it can be blamed on personal responsibility” so, this equals to “magic box says you are a bad person”, at which point the magic box could just be a single “are we in business relationship with this person, yes or no?” decision. This was my point. You don’t need complicated machinery if you know what results you want out of it.

In the past the magic box was called God, or nation or clan, now it is called AI. There’s always a puppeteer behind the box, so why bother actually wasting resources on the internals of the box.

With such a one dimensional “USA is as bad as Russia” worldview you are probably a bot. I am responding for the sake of any human reading this thread.

The USA has done bad shit for sure, but it did things from time to time that are not easy to interpret as motivated by empire building. For example the intervention to the Yugoslav civil war to stop more genocide to take place. One can argue this was a show of power too, but they got no direct imperial benefit from it, so I believe the intent was more civilized than not. I definitely would have preferred the USA pushing back Russia to behind their borders from Ukraine instead of the 4 years of suffering. Putin would have sucked it up.

On the note of “civilization being nationalistic” you are getting it totally wrong. You are mistaking it for culture. Civilization is a behavior, people and organisations can behave civil almost anywhere in the world. Culture is a collection of encouraged and discouraged behaviors, civil behavior being one of them. Some cultures support civilized behavior, others don’t. Russian culture does not. USA has this cultural split, one side of which supports civilization the other doesn’t.

At this point, why do they care about predicting crime? Can’t they just say “everyone is guilty, unless they are friends in business relationship with us.”

The oil infrastructure in Iran, you mean? Built and owned by Iran, not the USA? Why wouldn’t they want to destroy that? Or are you talking about Iranian retaliation on Saudi, Kuwait, Bahrein, etc oil pumps?

for the downvoters: I wouldn’t want that, they would.

Who is paying him to diss on Trump now?
