Cuba didn’t achieve 98% literacy by having a country of concerned parents. They had a massive education push with basically unlimited support from the government.
Placing the responsibility of America’s failure to educate its populace on individuals is honestly kind of insidious. America needs to dedicate resources to education. Period. Their failure to do so is why so many Americans are dumber than stumps.
And the West relies on Chinese manufacturing. All the scare mongering surrounding China, the US already would have pulled investment if they actually were the ones in control. The West has hitched its wagon to China at this point. They have no real alternative to turn towards.
I honestly wouldn’t be worried about it’s application for simulating human generated comments. This stuff is only going to start sounding notably less human as it begins to train itself using ever increasing amounts of AI generated content. AI is only as “intelligent” as the input it gets for training, and it’s getting stupider shit fed into it by bot created content every second.
The US blackmailed all of Europe before the UN assembly regarding the Iraq invasion and forced the Baltics to send troops in order to gain admittance. This isn’t something new within NATO. France wouldn’t even join NATO unless they agreed to defend attacks on French colonized Algeria. NATO despite whatever other functions it has is also a tool for currying geopolitical favors. Turkey is playing the game the same as everyone else. Not sure why this is surprising anyone.
Nineteen is dix-neuf though. Which is literally ten-nine. 11-16 all have an equivalent word to the English “teens.” Quatorze for example instead of dix-quatre for 14.
Saying this scenario is wildly unrealistic is not the same as saying we should bow down to Putin. It’s highly doubtful that Ukraine will even be able to restore all the territory they’ve lost since the start of the invasion, let alone get Crimea back. Sanctions haven’t been all that effective at this point either. Russia is still importing processors through middle men nations and has found perfectly willing buyers for national resources outside the West.
Expecting to subjugate the Russian economy to indentured servitude to pay reparations not only to Ukraine but to NATO? It’s just straight up not going to happen as much as we want to fantasize about it. I wouldn’t even be surprised if most of Europe begins importing Russian natural gas within a few years of the war ending again.
The Finnish government literally extradited Jewish people directly to the Gestapo who were promptly executed.
Russia sucks the big one. But this is straight up deluded.
Because no one actually believes Russia has ambitions outside of Ukraine. And if they actually do believe that and don’t want to send their own troops in, it’s absolutely shameful and cynical to be using Ukrainians as their human shields.
He literally said the opposite of that.
But if he can’t be trusted and he’s coming for the Baltics, then you should be enlisting and pressuring the Baltic states to deploy.
Instead you’re letting Ukraine do the dirty work or you don’t actually believe this.
The entire war has been an escalating game of nuclear chicken for NATO anyway. If Europe is under imminent Russian threat, then you can’t be deterred by the threat of nukes. Otherwise you should just let Russia march through to Paris.
Sending weapons so Ukraine so they can defend themselves is logical. Sending weapons so they can defend YOU is shameful.
I at least know how NATO fundamentally functions before popping off about it online.
That’s not how NATO works. So maybe you should try googling a little harder. Otherwise Germany and France would have been in Iraq. NATO is a defensive alliance. You can send troops to Ukraine. Literally nothing is stopping you if you believe it’s a matter of national security in the future.
And? NATO is a defensive alliance. There’s nothing stopping them from going in.
The Baltics are just perfectly content to let Ukrainians die if it kills some Russians as well. Not sure why Ukrainians have to die if there is an actual fear of Russia advancing further than Ukraine. They’re not a meat shield for Europe. The Baltics should actually nut up if they believe even half the shit they’re saying about Russian expansionism.
The Baltics can send troops to Ukraine if they’re actually afraid that they’re next.
Do we count disputes over territorial waters as the same as war? Are you actually serious with this question?
The Spratly Islands are China’s Afghanistan?
It is a term used to describe racists, yes. Which the vast majority of China fear-mongering is deeply rooted in.
Nukes are the reason they’re the same? India, Israel, North Korea, and Pakistan also have nukes.
When was the last time China invaded anyone? Including China here is a baseless equivocation and basically yellow scare nonsense.
Just started learning French only to find out you need a Bachelor’s in math just to count past 70.
