I think I mostly agree. There's really no need to join NATO. I feel like the positioning against Russia needs to thinking a little more long term. For example, the sanctions are necessary short term, but I hope they can be lifted in the future. If we damage long term trade by creating new supply chains and sources that exclude Russia from the global market place even after the war is over and leadership changes, then we may have backed them into a corner, creating an almost inevitable conflict.

..Account created 20 days ago with a comment history that feels somewhat tendentious to me. Anyhow: > You know who really wants them to join NATO and poke the russian bear? The USA. It seems to me the USA wants war with Russia but wants to be seen as defenders. Or maybe they are acting in their best self-interest looking at current and past affairs?

      >Write sth. about programming and you shall be forgiven Have you noticed how HN is dramatically less about tech lately? What is it right now? Loaves of bread? Hikaru/Chess? Virtually every programming topic is some 'i produced a new programming language that nobody needs' Tons of politics, but that is what is specifically hacker news right now. That we are in the center of a cyber world war that just went hot. What country doesnt have a cyber army? Which country hasn't suddenly invested big into cyber security and semiconductors? In a draft blog I laid out the case for this cyber world war. Incidentally my work blog currently being written(to be published in a month or 2 because of backlog) is about me analyzing the public/free threatfeeds in the same way. My discoveries are shocking. Talos' public threatfeed says world war. I did all this in python :)
