Imagine putting a 10,000 drones in the air and let them attack all these big fancy fleets with push button AI. Can your billion dollar vessel fight a 1000+ drones all attacking at once? Maybe they down 50 or a 100. The law of averages catches up real quick. It only takes a few weapon systems to get through the defenses for a ship for it to lose operational capacity. I expect drone warfare to radically change naval combat that we have not seen since 1941.

Trillion dollar war: How Europe struggles to fund the Ukraine War | Governments face increased borrowing, taxes and public sector cuts to finance their soaring military budgets.

Wars are rarely cheap and almost never short. In the modern era there is only one type of war and that's total war. Everything else is wishful thinking. If your country isn't willing to push in all their chips on day one they should not get involved. Russia pushed in all their chips and now western Europe is imploding when their bluff backfired. All those fancy fucking university degrees can't prepare these pricks to get into a knife fight with a scrappy motherfucker backed into a corner. Someone is getting stuck and going to bleed out on the ground. They sacrificed their own countries to just prove they still got it. The blow back for destroying Ukraine is going hit hard.

@Megatron_ron: What happened to $61 billion in aid that the United States granted to Ukraine 1 month ago? Ukraine's defense is collapsing along the entire front. Where are the weapons?

Whom is supposed to wield these weapons even if they had them? Ukrainian soldier's average age is over forty years old. We are getting to the point were they are going to need to send in children and the elderly if they want to keep this war going in Ukraine. Don't be surprised if a new war front opens up in Georgia. The war is going to keep going until we're all dead or the world's people tell the United States government to go eat a dick.

We sure got a lot of imported slaves! What can you do? Put them to work! Get on board! Don't ask questions. There is money to be made under the table and out the door into the shareholder's pockets. /s

Empires are built on the backs of slaves. The identities have changed. The master's whip passes down to a new generation blind to their own complicity and cruelty in the process. The oligarchy must have criminal labor to artificially inflate their wealth and hold citizens in check with poverty wages. It's always the same oligarchic cancer polluting the bloated, decaying and corrupt republic. It's time to stop pretending we're so fortunate to have fresh slaves appear at our doorstep. Pull the life support this pig is dead.

Blowback is the unintended consequences and unwanted side-effects of a covert operation. To the civilians suffering the blowback of covert operations, the effect typically manifests itself as "random" acts of political violence without a discernible, direct cause; because the public—in whose name the intelligence agency acted—are unaware of the effected secret attacks that provoked revenge (counter-attack) against them.

We never have learn from the consequences of our actions if we're never held responsible.

The 2024 US presidential election is showing with overwhelming evidence that it it can no longer masquerade as a legitimate political process. The Republic goes out not with a bang, but a whimper.

In a 1787 letter to William Stephens Smith, the son-in-law of John Adams, Thomas Jefferson used the phrase "tree of liberty":

I do not know whether it is to yourself or Mr. Adams I am to give my thanks for the copy of the new constitution. I beg leave through you to place them where due. It will be yet three weeks before I shall receive them from America. There are very good articles in it: and very bad. I do not know which preponderate. What we have lately read in the history of Holland, in the chapter on the Stadtholder, would have sufficed to set me against a Chief magistrate eligible for a long duration, if I had ever been disposed towards one: and what we have always read of the elections of Polish kings should have forever excluded the idea of one continuable for life. Wonderful is the effect of impudent and persevering lying. The British ministry have so long hired their gazetteers to repeat and model into every form lies about our being in anarchy, that the world has at length believed them, the English nation has believed them, the ministers themselves have come to believe them, and what is more wonderful, we have believed them ourselves. Yet where does this anarchy exist? Where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusets? And can history produce an instance of a rebellion so honourably conducted? I say nothing of it’s motives. They were founded in ignorance, not wickedness. God forbid we should ever be 20. years without such a rebellion.[1] The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13. states independant 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure. Our Convention has been too much impressed by the insurrection of Massachusets: and in the spur of the moment they are setting up a kite to keep the hen yard in order. I hope in god this article will be rectified before the new constitution is accepted. (Emphasis mine)

Is Russia, in reality, "The Borg"? by jerryk in WayOfTheBern

its colonization with Russian citizens

If you think this is the case then you've missed the point of this war from the Russian perspective. Russia could have swallowed Ukraine already had they intended to colonize the nation state. This is exactly what the west wants to happen. A colonized Ukraine means the west's intel goons can fill up the place with insurgencies to fuck up the country and destabilize Putin's political base. The Russian goal is and has always been to have a defensive perimeter to stop NATO from parking missiles on their door step and threatening to use them if they keep demanding fair market value for their oil and gas. Russia was content to leave the Ukrainian US run puppet government in power as long as they never officially join NATO. Since it's clear at this point the US intends to spend every drop of Ukrainian blood in order to break up and balkanize a defeated Russia. The Russians instead retreated to fortified positions to rope-a-dope the west into throwing every solider, arms and weapon system into battle to force them to exhaust the Western government's ability to wage war. Russia is effectively disarming the west by bleeding them white. Ukraine is losing ground as they can no longer field armies to fight off the ever present Russian forces. They are exhausted prey getting walked down by a patient and practiced predator. All the pressure is on the west to salvage the situation. Russia will continue to push the Ukrainian government to implode and put the country back together as they see fit without any great occupation the west is so fond of. The west will have no say in how Russia reforms Ukraine as they been systematically defanged and they don't have the forces needed to oppose the Russia in any real capacity. I expect great anguish and rage from the Ukraine's remaining soldiers redirected at the west in a series of terrorist attacks that we pretend we didn't see coming.

The message is quite clear -- "We are the Russians, resistance is futile."

The West is the Borg in this analogy. It's Russia that isn't following the west's hive mind of authoritarianism. The west has been trying to grind Russia into dust since the outbreak of the Great War in 1914. They came close to totally destroying Russia in the mid-90s, but they got greedy and forgot to break up the country when they had the chance. They are decades late to do anything to stop Russia from setting it's own political, economic and social agenda.

I guess Vladimir Putin was a big fan of "Star Trek : The Next Generation", back in the 1980's when he was an up and coming KGB agent in the Soviet Union. And, the concept of "The Borg" made quite an impression on him.

Do you have a source for this? It was a significant endeavor to just to get western media in Soviet Union. If the people in the Soviet Union wanted to listen to banned western music they'd have to get bootleg copies recorded on discarded x-rays. Where would Putin have even gotten the technology to even watch ST:TNG without getting caught with banned materials and video equipment? In the 90s I could see it happening perhaps.

Now, it's quite common, I've noticed, to compare the Russians to the "Orcs", from Lord of the Rings, these days, in the Western media.

Everything new is well-forgotten old. - Russian proverb

And, indeed, I'm by no means sure that J.R.R. Tolkien did not indeed have Stalin in mind with Sauron, and that Mordor was not the Soviet Union, in the mind of the creator of the Lord of the Rings.

The Lord of the Rings is Tolkien coping with his experiences in the Great War. The orcs are a representation of what happens to soldiers on the western front twisted by their leaders to commit atrocities great and small for nearly a half a decade.

They are not evil, but, actually, highly functional. It is a perfectly legitimate conception of society, although it sublimates the individual to the greater whole -- a conception that is anathema to the Western mindset. Of course, Westerners will submit to higher authority, if need be, for a time. However, they do so reluctantly.

This is straight delusional fart sniffing. The west has little to no real opposition to the oligarchy that has total control over the "free thinking" western dipshits. They have not done a damn thing to stop them from grinding the Ukrainian people into meat paste for the last ten years for "freedom". Westerners have ensured the Ukrainian people's slavery for generations and don't even know it. Eastern Ukraine has already been "sold" to Black Rock and nobody cares that every resource in eastern Ukraine will be drained into Black Rock's coffers. If the west wins in eastern Ukraine the citizens will become impoverished and powerless neo-serfs in their own land. If Russia wins loyal Ukrainians will be exiled from their homes if they have not already been churned up in the slaughter. The west has severe brain rot from repeating the same self indulgent narcissistic propaganda.

In contrast, in traditional China, in the Mongol Empire, and, in Russia, which learned so much from the Mongols, the conception of the hive mind is much more familiar, and much more acceptable. We really should bear this in mind, don't you think?

I don't think you read enough or listen enough to have a basic grasp history, politics, literature, or culture. Resorting to pop culture references that miss the mark entirely didn't work. Authoritarianism is bad. Wow. How profound. Another person lost in the weeds.

It's not even waste. It's US imperialism hitting the wall. They are facing billions in military hardware getting wiped out with very little capital expenditure. All that taxes spent did nothing save the empire from expanding access to technological progress. Guerrilla armies and small nations can shift from minor nuance to massive threat over night. A drone air force built for pennies swarming and silencing an "invincible" US Navy task force has the Pentagon shaking in their boots.

Not just the hypersonic missiles. Drones are doing to modern navies what aircraft carriers did to battleships in WW2. Drones are revolutionizing the global battlefield while still in it's infancy. They are relatively cheap, silent, cost effective and turn "state-of-the-art" hyper-expensive hardware into slag in a blink. The US Navy saw they were building obsolete death traps and stopped.

This is faulty logic. Self destructing your nation state to maintain your identity is short sighted. South Africa renounced it's apartheid policies and reorganized under a new government and it survived. Israel has clearly failed to maintain it's global political legitimacy just as South Africa did by not treating it's citizens as equal under the law. If apartheid Israel continues to embrace ethnic cleansing and genocide they will lose enough international trade to cause an economic drain that will force the potbellied occupiers to evacuate to prosperous nations. Israel won't be the first or last petty power that has destroyed itself to cling to identity as a colonial master.

Why focus on Israel?

It's been continually committing crimes against humanity since at least 1948. A few decent people reject crimes against humanity as non-negotiable and will not participate monetarily, politically or socially.

They were only responding to a mass slaughter of their own citizens

The Palestinians would agree with this statement. They have been agreeing to this statement for almost hundred years now. Yet they are not allowed the same respect as their murders due to their identity.

and are just trying to stabilize the situation, so it won't happen again.

Israel has been excusing genocide and ethnic cleansing through this tactic for longer than it has existed. Perhaps next time if they wanted to protect their people they would have not held a large music festival next to their apartheid fence with no one guarding them. We have a word for this: bait. Hamas took that bait and Israel got blanket global permission to openly engage in ethnic cleansing and genocide. Everyone in the political picture got what they wanted.

The Muslims are always trying to destroy the state of Israel, because they won't tolerate a non-Muslim nation in their midst.

That is a poor argument. It is literally not accurate.

It's atypical for a modern nation state to openly engage in all out ethnic cleansing and genocide. It is nonsense to state that nation states need to engage in these activities to maintain their existence. The historical record is pretty clear that nation states that engage in repeated internal ethnic cleansing and genocide typically do not last as they hollow themselves out in the process. However their always exceptions to that rule since that historical record is quite long and varied.

Why didn't VR get more popular? by dbdr in AskSaidIt

[–]unagisongs 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Consumer VR is still in the novelty, experimental and enthusiast stage. The total cost is still too high. Computer hardware requirements are still significant. Headsets are still too heavy and cumbersome. The sweet spot between price to quality has yet to be met. VR motion sickness turns people off. User fatigue has a real impact. No killer app to bring in the masses. Sim gamers are probably the only crowd I see consistently using VR hardware and even then I hear the same complaints.

Apple's VisionPro headset clearly missed the mark which did not trigger price drops from the other VR competitors or panic to catch up. Valve collaborated with Apple on the prototype stage for the VisionPro. Based on Valve's success with the steam deck I suspect the Index two will be a marriage between the steam deck and the original Index. Valve's hardware launches tend to hint at future releases. This may be the killer hardware combination the finally gets VR over the hump.

Currently the only headset hardware sized correctly in my opinion is the Bigscreen Beyond. However it's greatest strength is also it's greatest weakness. Custom goggle that fit your face and your eyes means the single enthusiast gets the full experience while the lay person doesn't get jazzed enough to buy their own. It decreases adoption by masses slowing down future development of goggle style VR.

A steam deck that can run VR googles about the size of Bigscreen Beyond at a consistent reasonable FPS and a high enough refresh rate and that are portal, affordable and sold on mass. Which is why I'm looking at the Valve Index Two to possibly break that mold. However this is Valve time we're talking about so maybe they get around to replacing the Index when it stops selling in a decade or two.

Russia isn't invading or conquering Ukraine. Russia is devouring and absorbing Ukraine. by jerryk in WayOfTheBern

Russia has settled down to the process of systematically absorbing all the best parts of Ukraine, and, they may get around to the rest of the country, as well.

This is foolish western hubris believing occupying is country is feasible or rational. The west's intelligence organizations would love to fund an insurgency to make Russia miserable. Russians are a lot more caution after the Afghanistan debacle. Occupying the totality of Ukraine is fundamentally a trap.

Sure, Russian soldiers are dying in Ukraine. But, so are a lot of Ukrainians,

More importantly Russia is disarming Europe. It's hard to have any kind of occupying force to try and invade Russia with nothing left in the tank. Nor will Europe have bodies willing to try invading. Any European solider with a functioning brain does not wants to be sent to invade Russia. The Ukrainians that are willing to invade Russia are getting eradicated. The same people that would be joining an insurgency if Russia was to occupy the entire country or voting against Russia in the future are losing more their lives, but their total political opposition to Russian interests.

What NATO still doesn't quite get, is that all they're doing by "helping" Ukraine, is hurting the Ukrainian people, and hurting themselves, and their own economies.

The current goal of NATO is to strip Ukraine for parts and literally sell it off to Black Rock and it's subsidiaries. Every war is a resource war. There is no "helping". War is about people "helping themselves" to other people's wealth and resources. Especially weak countries like Ukraine are too fragile to stop the US from forming a shadow government and forcing them into a war with the Russians. Ukraine won't be a state by the time the war is over. It will have collapsed into stateless buffer zone between Russia and rest of Europe. West Ukraine with no formal government structure benefits the Russia security state by letting them have carte blanche to shape West Ukraine as they see fit without occupying the area directly. I expect West Ukraine will be heavily dependent on Russian humanitarian aid once the West slips out the back door.

NATO is trying to teach Russia a lesson,

NATO is fighting Russia due to their interference with the US coup in Syria. This prevented the Saudi/UAE pipeline from running oil and gas pipe lines through the middle east to the balkens to directly compete with Russian oil and gas production. Effectively putting Russia in the dog house by by having the Saudis and UAE temporarily drive European oil and gas prices into the ground. This benefits the Saudis and the UAE by putting a global competitor in the oil business under their thumb. Europe benefits by ensuring an abundant oil and gas supply from cheap suppliers whether the Saudis or the new balkanized Russia they had intended to create. Naturally the Russians did not want to stay Europe's whipping boy and decided to protect their interests. However many Russian oligarchs that would very much like to see Putin put down so they may rise again as petty lords. They paid US politicians handsomely to do their bidding and pursue a regime change war through the Ukrainian puppetry. This has lead to some Russians learning how fly the hard way. All that pain and suffering for what? A little bit more money and power.

The US at the end of 2023 had 1.8 million LEGAL slaves. This does not include the illegal private slavery population which is also thriving in the US.
