  • Gee, this is fun. Reality is not wishy washy statements from literal America military institutions. It just exposes you as someone who gobbles American state department nonsense wholesale uncritically. If you watched your Rick and Morty properly you would have known that it is not a smart thing to do. Reality in this case refers to what’s happening on the ground in the war. Like Russia holding it’s annexed territories rather trying to expand indiscriminately.

    No, you’ve given me nothing to suggest I should care what your response is.

    You are an idiot.

    Were you expecting some report about their magic mind-reading device?

    But this is what you have been doing all along. Nothing in reality suggests that total annexation of Ukraine was the goal. Not the words of anyone nor the manner in which Russia has executed the invasion yet here you are somehow reading minds to conjure grand motives and subjecting me to smug Reddittor-speak for the crime of asking you to back your frivolous claims. “Gee, this is fun.” Jesus Christ.

    Culturally Russia sees itself as outside the rest of the world. At the very minimum, an equal to historical empires of Europe or Asia, but part of neither. It sees the USA as an ethnic mongrel with no culture or history, and hates the US power it projects globally.

    I was wondering if you could provide something to back this up since these are rather sweeping claims.

    The only thing I can think of that comes close is Dugin’s writings but I have never seen anything that could suggest that his ideas are widely accepted or adopted as the state’s doctrines.






  • Western media does not cover Chinese companies in the same manner and depth as they do Western companies. Regarding the Pentagon’s chief’s statement I would not take it seriously. It’s highly unlikely that he knows enought about machine learning to correctly comment on the situation. Plus American national security agencies like to portray themselves as enfeebled sometimes because it helps justify their massive fundings.
