0 sats \ 14 replies \ @Cje95 21 Nov \ on: Russia fires intercontinental ballistic missile (NonNucelar)-attack on Ukraine news
Couple of things that stuck out to me…
  1. some western official was super quick to say no it was just a ballistic missile even though according to Ukraine it doesn’t fit the flight path or speed
  2. what a waste of a missile by Russia. ICBMs I mean it’s in the name intercontinental why would you use it to strike your neighbor? If they think it will scare the US, Europe, or Ukraine I mean that’s just not the case?!
Seems like another stupid move by Russia

Honest to god whatever was launched was either a weapon that had little to no explosives or was a dud based on the photos

At this point there is little I trust when it comes to global conflicts. So much BS tactics designed to manipulate the masses and manufacturer consent. I just pray these clowns don't start WW3 in a quest for whatever they are going after.

To me, it is wild how Putin is approaching a Trump Presidency for a few reasons.
  1. The increase in military aid to Ukraine has increased US manufacturing and increased the high-paying jobs required to make the shells/build the rest of the equipment.
  2. Sabor rattling against US armed forces esp those in Poland is wild because Poland is not only part of NATO but they buy so much US equipment I know Trump loves them
  3. Putin has largely ignored Trump and Trump has said he is going to take the bull by the horns with this war. Ignoring Trump will only piss him off and ya know that's just a poor choice as we have seen in the past.

Yeah, not sure how much of this is real though vs. posturing. It is interesting.
Honestly, China is much more of a concern to me but I don't think either side is looking for all out war. My guess is that Trump will talk tough and spend a crazy amount on increased military spending.

I agree 100% with China but I feel like they are still recovering from the huge corruption issue with the missiles being filled with water and not rocket fuel. They purged a lot of higher-ups and so those that are filling their shoes need time to understand what they are supposed to do. China doesn't have any sort of military conflict that battle-hardened their soldiers though which is an interesting thing when you think about it. A lot is learned when you are in a fight and they just do not have that at all so if a real fight breaks out I am not sure how they would respond with the ebb and flow of battle.

Hadn't heard about this. That sounds like sabotage, not corruption.

They arrested the General in charge and charged him with corruption that's why I said it was but yeah no there are other possible explanations!

AI is increasing information of all types. Noise. Some of it malicious. What's the answer?

We actually need to be more concerned about misinformation. The difference between the two is the intent and if you are relying on AI for your news and it hallucinates that wasn't done with malice it was an accident hence the misinformation label.

  1. I actually read here a message to Europeans and US to remind them that they are vulnerable.
On a related note, all six missiles fired into Russia were intercepted... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7l7LoDU5N0

Have you seen the pictures of the after the attack? Or hear the cookoffs going on? What did Russia KO their own base cause it’s not doing to swell
Also launching an ICBM to Europe or the US will be in the air for a while and Patriot systems are designed to shoot them down so it doesn’t really make sense
