Is it insane when Russian media and political class threatens nuclear strikes on European capitals for years now?

Are you seriously arguing that the US war against Japan was disproportionate and ultimately unjust?

We tried that. They elect Cold War mindset strongmen and react violently to the breakdown of the Soviet influence anyway.

I wish I could swap Ireland and Estonia's location in the world. Let the great lovers of peace like yourself live next to Russia.

Imagine Trump threatens to nuke Russia if they don't leave Ukraine tomorrow, according to your logic they shouldn't run the risk of a nuclear exchange and Russia should retreat. Is this correct?

Can I have your house if I threaten to nuke you? Assume I have a nuke. How about your wife? If the nuke threat isn't reasonable and proportional then you must ignore it. Nukes are for existential risks. Which is 1) enemy nukes, and 2)

If someone is threatening to end the world over every issue, then at some stage you need to call their bluff or you'll just be taken advantage of. If the USA threatens to nuke Russia if they don't leave Ukraine tomorrow, would you

Russia wants to show global south that the West is evil and aggressive and wants to encroach on and break up Russia. Provoking a European nation into military action first is the way to do that.

Russia needs to work with the private sector to buy and crew the ships, and there is only so many ships they can buy and lose before it's not worth the money or hassle for either Russia or their private partners.

How does Ukraine entering NATO constitute an existential threat to Russia? Do you think Ukraine + NATO is going to invade Russia? What should NATO and the EU do to Russia, since Russia would like to break up NATO and the EU?

That's fine. Let Russia escort ships that then break cables. It'll make it more obvious it's deliberate, and provide a reason for blockade and confrontation.

“The Israeli system is a slightly different approach technologically. So actually, it’s a nice complement because we’re kind of going down one path, they’ve gone down a slightly different one. So I think yes, there’s potential if theirs wor

Why would Russia give nukes to Iran? The Russians themselves would be harmed by an open nuclear exchange. No, Putin's threats to Biden and Trump were more along the lines of, 'See the Houthis shooting shipping, imagine that capabi

Your analogy breaks down because the girlfriend might have a genuine claim to being a tenant and can defend that in court. Squatters can't and won't. The whole point is it's time and money consuming to prove they're not

Only because you hate the rich. I get that it encourages them to share to keep the pitchforks off their lawn, and that noblesse oblige has broken down recently, but property laws are the foundation of our prosperity. If you can't have

I've been noticing a bit of 'totally not Warhammer but grimdark and space marines' settings being used more these days. Void War game on Steam is a notable one.

I find your 'including Elon' comment interesting. In my experience that would make people less likely to want to use the associated service. Is Elon's reputation different with the tech youth than the general public these day

I want to congratulate you for not using a throwaway account for this comment. HN is very USA and prudish for it, it's refreshing to see substantive comments on topics like this without the usual throwaway greentext.

Forgive me for some conspiratorial thinking, but protest movements in the USA probably have a lot more FBI in them ensuring they're divided and ineffective. Social media mediated movements are vulnerable to the USA's adversaries

I, for one, am pleased that the economic crisis Trump's 'policies' have put into motion is appearing to begin in ernest during Trump's term. USA voters don't get a lot of immediate feedback to their votes, so this s

What do the sensors on the plane report?

True. It's more like 'no creative machines' or 'no entry level middle class job machines'.

Why was the acting director so insistent on viewing the specially classified material? His predecessors did not, and it wasn't even a product of his own department, it was shared from another agency. Imagine how easy compromising or in

Why does the sign say 100 when the actual limit was 110?

Apparently not. Because creatives haven't instigated a moral crusade against that type of automated work.

"With no disclosure?" Why do you have an expectation that a company will disclose to you when they use AI for their copywriting? Do you want them to disclose the software they used to draft and publish? If a manager reviewed the b

Foreign nations would also like it if our shared narrative and culture breaks down due to everyone questioning everything all the time. How can we co-operate and co-ordinate if we agree on very little?
