[Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

Thousands and thousands of AI hunter killer drones programmed to destroy only Putin.

If the war lasts long enough technology like this will be deployed.

But they'll never get into his bunker!

Interesting article in The Times (unpaywallled) about Putins influence in the Trump administration.

Pretty shocking - I found Beattie's stance more shocking in a way.

I was wondering when something like this would happen. Putin is going to have a hard time protecting kaliningrad.

Interesting one - I hadn't anticipated anything in Kaliningrad, but I guess some operatives have geared up for hybrid operations there

He sure is……. Whilst keeping an eye on the rest of Russia….. and Israel ..….whilst protecting Crimea……whilst attacking Ukraine ….. propping up the Russian economy……and coseying up to his few remaining allies. All with a big target on his back!!

If only Trump could see sense.

Neither did I.

But it highlights how vulnerable Kaliningrad is to hybrid operations, being mostly surrounded by Nato members Poland and Lithuania, both of whom would presumably be only too willing to help operatives giving Russia a taste of its own medicine.

Very important target of course - and hopefully supplied drones from Iran will be drying up.

Listen up. Russia did not invade Ukraine and is not waging war.

To be fair, she makes a good point:

"Nobody told me. Why do you ask such stupid questions? Do you think we're being politically informed here?"
