Agreed, if NATO built up Ukraine, that could've posed a serious threat to Russia. Baltics simply aren't, and I don't think they can be fortified or used as a staging area for an invasion effectively. Also, worth noting how Finnish economy is now suffering being cut off from Russia. Not only did they create a new external threat for themselves, they've also created internal problems as a result.
lol basically
yeah like literally in a year or so, it's insane
yeah, it definitely rings different when the call is coming from inside the house
Exactly, but honestly I can't imagine that NATO would even work if a major European country like Germany was attacked. At least not without the US getting involved. And the US getting involved is itself is incredibly unlikely because Americans aren't going to risk being nuked for Europe's sake. That's the real elephant in the room. All out war between nuclear states is a world ending scenario.
That said, the whole idea of Russia invading Europe is fantastical beyond belief. Russia simply doesn't have the resources or manpower to occupy Europe, and Russians obviously understand this. And the idea of Russia invading Europe shows that people have one dimensional understanding of security. One just has to look at what the US does, military invasions are rare. Most of the time countries are attacked economically and through political interference. And this is precisely how Russia would fight Europe as well. Europe is already headed for the abyss economically, and that's creating political unrest all across Europe already. And that's the obvious vector of attack.
In a way, Russophobia really is a self fulfilling prophecy. Europe is destroying itself economically to try and keep the proxy war going. And now Europe finds itself entirely dependent on the US for energy and defence with the US turning predatory.
I find they're all fairly similar in practice. What matters most is the model capability. The workflow is really similar across different tools from what I've seen.
I think the most interesting part is that this tech could be used to disrupt US satellites. The US is highly dependent on stuff like Starlink as we see in Ukraine right now, and if China can make their satellites go blind, that will be a huge problem for the US military. Weapons targeting, surveillance, communications, etc. will all collapse at this point. The US didn't really plan for tech that could disrupt their satellite networks when they structured this stuff.
exactly, the dynamic is that as the system continues to break down, more and more people are falling out of the liberal mainstream, and these sort of things help illustrate how the whole system works for them
that pesky material reality getting in the way as usual
Possibly
