The above is wishful thinking, of course, but there IS precedent for China doing 180s on international policy. Google "when china burned its trade ships" which gives a capsule summary of when China, from 1436 to 1477, did a 180 on their projection of soft international power.

What could go wrong? China takes advantage of our crash-and-burn?

-Become Mr. Rogers re Taiwan
-Betray Russia (& win Siberia) and sell drones/tech to Ukraine
-Squash North Korea*
-Forge pol/econ/fin ties w/ rest of world
-Morph into the world's sole superpower

* Google "PRC trade with South Korea"

My understanding is that LLM's were trained on the "contents of the Internet." I assume that includes the Dark Web? If so (and probably still the case if not) the training included kinky porn, including child & snuff porn. (AND the drugs, arms, and killers-for-hire activity that haunted Silk Road).

It's adorable how you think there will be elections in November.

So I guess the 2026 midterms will be cancelled for safety reasons, right?

Continuation of my prior post.

I'm sorry, but as with antivaxxers and antimaskers dying of Covid, I'm all out of fucks to give. My empathy is reserved for those with empathy. In the long run such carnage improves the species.

That isn't hot. That's cucks slap-fighting. I'm not advocating violence, but I wouldn't be adverse to watching on wide screen TV an actual "Night of the Long Knives" against each other being acted out IRL by these incompetent antilifers.

Truncated for length. Continues below.

So... are they setting up special camps for autistic people?

This is how it starts, people.

How's the weather in St. Petersberg, Sergei?

Codes? But that would be socialism....

LOL, one of the trucks is carrying incendiary drones and releases them to crash into the trailers of the trucks in line. Imagine a hundred semi-trailers burned down on the highway. Epic cleanup.

Plus, doing this would force the Orcs to put armed guards on each truck and not bunch close in lines.

Figure out how to stick auto-launching drones into the trunks of Lada passenger cars!

Warm bodies are at a premium for Ukraine, so it makes sense that they would be looking into autonomous "drones" (at the point of true autonomy, they are war-robots, not drones).

Or were they *autonomous* computer ("AI")-guided drones?

Instructions:
10 If video image=file image then
20 if video image is on fire then keep flying
30 else crash into video image

Or something like that. With the proper hardware, it probably wouldn't be that hard to program.

I'm old enough to remember conservative meltdowns over disabled ramps at street corners ("waste of taxpayer money") and disabled facilities on public buses ("wasteful spending by Socialist entities"). No, I'm not exaggerating. They have zero empathy for anyone outside their immediate family circle.

Just another example of "I got mine, fuck you."
