@6d6ec790 Echos of Starship Troopers that. You know that it will be creatively corrupted to exempt the ticks instead of the intended. 

 @c1d79855 I doubt Russia replaces France. Either an AU peacekeeping force or an US occupation.

 @c1d79855 I'm wondering where (and how) they plan to get the rare-earth metals from for the batteries and the green toxic waste management strategy. 

 @6d6ec790 Russia may then have a Death or Taxes policy. 

 @7ea6f088 That example sounds like a monopoly unless there are competing privately owned roads for the same route. 

 @7ea6f088 I'm reluctant to believe that a state run industry is superior to private industry except in a unprofitable sector. The current failure is tolerating collusion in a strategic industry, thus allowing the dominants to act as a monopoly. There are laws to prevent this for exactly this reason. The resultant state security problem is with enforcement of law and interference by captured politicians. 

 @bb644797 It's never big enough once the kids and pets squat.
The bigger the bed, the more likely you are to end up without sheets when the sheet-thief turns. 

 @6d6ec790 I find no humans are illegal speciest in light of the UFO revelations and frankly sets up future AI, transhuman and uplifted animals bigotry.
No mind is illegal. 

 @c1d79855 Its sad to be right. 

 @8f56b62c @9a8f090b Do not help it. The fight is required for it to detach from the egg membrane properly. 

 @7ea6f088 Russia is also lying. Their bela causi is neither Nazis nor preventing genocide, but rather to secure Crimea and keep NATO out of their sphere. Good reasons yet illegal. Russia was not invited into Ukraine by its government. This contravenes the UN Charter Russia agreed to uphold by an Act of their parliament. It is irrelevant that the USA does this all the time. Neither 'side' is innocent nor right.
The difference is that Rus lies respect our intelligence and Ukraine is hard to like. 

 @7ea6f088 Not buying it. This is a sales pitch; a call for more money. I'll go so far as speculating that USA is two generations ahead already on hypersonic warfare, which I suspect they had in the mid 90's. 

 @7ea6f088 NIA can't be too happy either. 

 @c1d79855 Birx in South Africa. She aggressively chased control of the biggest aid programmes for the CDC (often in conflict with USAID) with marginal to no delivery in the coopted programmes. But her partners got the money. She treats control of budgets as a pissing contest without the ability to deliver.
Even the corrupt ANC government had to ask her to leave. 

 @7ea6f088 @826f7fe1 Not the Russians? Not the Americans? But Elon himself? Riiight.

Russians can use EMP or jamming tech to the same effect.

Musk's fortune comes entirely from US governments contracts. Twitter historically has close ties to US intelligence agencies. It is highly unlikely that he's independent. Nobody is as patriotic as a newly minted citizen. I say his paymasters told him to do it, if he did, to avert unpredictable escalation. Or they simply did it themselves without asking.

 @7ea6f088 Bangladesh narrowly failed at getting BRICS membership this round. Nuland arrives with coloniser attitude. Lavrov comes seeking partners. Reputations precede you, 

 @7ea6f088 Why does the top near the blowholes look to dented? Ribbed for pleasure? 

 @d46cf433 I'm waiting for them to reveal ChatGPT is a room of unemployed English majors. 

 @7ea6f088 maxcinate! How serendipitous that the booster launching at month end is exactly attuned to combat this strain! 

 @7ea6f088 You don't need icebreakers in +4ºC 2050 warm-Earth, silly.

 @bb644797 Could be Di Caprio's that he dropped overboard on a binge. 

 @c1d79855 Will Brand discover v4v? It there even a way to do a video channel v4v yet? We watch with interest.
