Ukraine isn’t a sovereign state, it’s a puppet régime run by US.

These were bioweapons labs left over from USSR days, and US didn’t take over these labs for any sort of altruistic purpose.

Organizations like CIA have a long history of pursuing precisely these kinds of insane ideas.

yogthos , 1 year ago to worldnews in Western journalism

I just love how western media keeps talking up some sort of a collapse in China every few months, and people still fall for it. Like the last 1000 times turned out to be nonsense, but this time for sure!

It really shows how a lot of people in the west have a deep seated hate of China that’s been bred into them by the media, and aren’t able to even think about the subject critically.

Yeah that’s a good point, if you have lots of disparate systems that don’t have standard coding then the codes wouldn’t be of much use. I can see how standardizing that sort of things would be a huge effort, so in that context the approach makes sense.

I also assume that the humans have the final say, but in most cases I imagine having the computer do the initial routing will get better results than doing nothing at all while humans figure out what the overall picture is.

yogthos OP , 1 year ago to technology in China’s AI-driven power grid can recover from a blackout in 3 seconds

Yeah, you’d think if they have the codes those should be more reliable than free text descriptions. I don’t see a scenario where you’d want to do natural language processing instead of just relying on the code to figure out what to do.

Agreed, under capitalism both labour and resources are primarily directed towards creation of capital for a handful of capital owners with any other benefits being strictly incidental.

yogthos OP , 1 year ago to technology in Electronics are built with death dates. Let’s not keep them a secret.

Yup, having an economic system predicated on constant growth is pure insanity.

This is just one of many ways capitalism innovates.

Have you seen pictures of Mariupol before and after it was bombed to shit? Russia did that, there is no escaping that reality.

Yeah, stuff gets bombed during wars. The reality is that Russia dropped far less bombs than US has in any recent conflict.

The fuck? I disagree with Chomsky, but I never called him a propagandist. Patrick Lancaster and his ilk are propagandists.

Chomsky has exact same position I have on the war. Since you claim what I say is Russian propaganda, then Chomsky must be one by extension. What Lancaster reports is what’s actually happening on the ground. You dismiss that because it doesn’t fit your narrative.

That can be faked easily.

Unlike the propaganda you consume presumably.

I’m sure Mariupol welcomed the Russians as liberators! Well, what’s left of it.

Have you seen videos from Mariupol after it was taken? What you don’t seem to get is that people from LPR and DPR are the ones doing most of the work on the ground, not Russia. These are people who live in these areas and they’re not seen as occupiers.

I try to keep a reasonable level of skepticism.

You regurgitate pure propaganda in every one of your comments. According to you people like Chomsky are Russian propagandists.

yogthos , 2 years ago to worldnews in 90% of Ukrainians support joining EU, 73% support joining NATO

Now who’s assuming?

I’m not assuming anything. This is what the people there say, and that’s why we’re not seeing any actual resistance to LPR and DPR forces taking cities the way we saw in Iraq and Afghanistan when US occupied those countries.

Has it ever occurred to you that those interviews can be faked?

Has it ever occurred to you that you might be a victim of propaganda?

yogthos , 2 years ago to worldnews in 90% of Ukrainians support joining EU, 73% support joining NATO

Then explain to me why Ukrainians would like being invaded and bombed relentlessly. Please, I’m all ears.

The people themselves explain it in the video I linked. Here’s the ethnic breakdown of Ukraine for you. People in the east consider themselves to be occupied

That guy is embedded with the the Russia army and goes on Infowars. He is simply an untrustworthy source, a propagandist.

The interview is just the people telling what they think. Imagine thinking that’s propaganda as opposed to whatever you’re guzzling.

The West currently lacks that specific industrial capacity. It could definitely shift production to counter Russia, especially as part of a longer war.

No it can’t, you can’t create an industrial base overnight and anybody who’s not an utter imbecile understands that.

yogthos , 2 years ago to worldnews in 90% of Ukrainians support joining EU, 73% support joining NATO

I claimed that it’s probable that the average Ukrainian, whose life has been put into turmoil by Russia’s invasion, may not have many warm fuzzy feelings towards the government attacking their country and may be in favor joining NATO to prevent future attacks.

You assume that out of ignorance.

Those cities have been bombed extensively by Russia as part of the invasion. Even if there was once much interest in those cities to chart a more pro-Russia course, I doubt there is much anymore. Just because a city has primarily Russian speakers doesn’t mean they will love Russia when Russia rains bombs on their homes.

Here’s what people as they themselves put it.

It’s a good report, but it doesn’t say that. It just says that for a longer haul war, the US especially is going to need to change its strategy around ammunition

What it very plainly says is that the west lacks industrial capacity for the kind of war that Russia is currently waging. If you don’t understand that, then read the report again.
