The political leaders (not just Trump) and their backers clearly are thinking that AI and robotics will replace most of the work force, so why keep importing new ones. The issue is American citizens will likely face similar but different developments. A future with almost no work in a country and political elite that detest social safety nets will lead to a societal breakdown.


NVIDIA acquired Groq and have already integrated their technology in their solution. It seems it can really increase inference performance per energy used. I don’t believe The benchmark compares Jalapenjo together with this solution. https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-groq-3-lpx-now-in-...


Asia will ignore US deals, especially on social media. Look at Australia are even more hawkish than EU. Japan and South Korea are more culturally close to China when it comes to social harmony and the will probably follow suit when it comes to be strict on social media even if they allow US media it will be by much stricter rules than US.


Japan and China go together like Nazi Germany and Israel


Watch your words soon Spain and Morocco will put a toll both for ships passing strait of Gibraltar.


The cruise industry collapsing isn't going to have as big an effect as you think ;-)


They are not fighters.


The dictator is labeled the ”dictator” because they’re under fire by US not because they’re an actual dictator. Look at gulf countries and the other dictators that US is partnered with like Al-Sisi in Egypt and the King of Jordan.

Besides the regime did not change. It’s the same regime, the only difference is that US benefits (or some individual people or companies in the US) from this version.



Plenty of evidence of huge human rights crimes under the Maduro regime, investigations made by United Nations. He also stole the elections.

You can disagree with how he was removed but don’t give the guy legitimacy please, he’s a thug.


It’s a nation of 90 million people. Now that basically every facet of society has been hit by a single common enemy, they will galvanize and it won’t matter what name IRGC or whatever you give it they will start to work in unison for common security and deterrence.


Yes - but OP would need to take off their blinkers to see any of that.

As long as they refuse to do that, they can keep claiming this war was a big cool success.


The only thing really destroyed is the image of the west and particularly it’s leader the US. Whatever you view of Iranian acts, even wars have laws related to portionality that has been broken.

Also if there ever was an ounce of internal resistance then this war have probably galvanized the population and is aligning everyone to common cause of working on the build up of particularly their national security.


Perceptions are fickle, and that includes the local population. There are many cases of countries the US bombed whose population later became strong supporters of the US.


Iran’s government haven’t been toppled. People are rallying and united in opposition to foreign invasion and interference.

Iran is a strategic important ally of China and Russia.

US is no longer the world superpower as it once was and has dropped it’s use of soft power completely and relies only upon military force or it’s threat and barely any diplomatic efforts.

The world is not what was even a decade ago. So don’t expect a repeat on what happened after Vietnam and Japan.


Who directly in this war has conducted them rationally at at all times? Did Iran drip feed missiles to Hezbollah and Yemen, perhaps. That sort of tactic was used at a much larger scale when US provided arms to Iraq against Iran in their war in the 80s. Israel attacks against it’s neighbors and caused mass refugee flows is also mostly a result of UK, US and France’s foreign policy in the early 20th century when Israel was being established. Israel funded by US of 300 billion dollars is also a kind of proxy.

It’s hard for most people to have actual objective views and see things from multiple perspectives and your statement is showing clear bias in this regards.


> Who directly in this war has conducted them rationally at at all times?

At all times? Nobody. Until last summer, the most strategically buggered was Hamas. Their miscalculations directly lead to a weaker position and a negative return on their goals.

That changed following last year’s airstrikes—then it was Iran. (Though in relative terms, probably still Hamas.) Since this war, it’s might be the U.S.

> That sort of tactic was used at a much larger scale when US provided arms to Iraq against Iran

We didn’t maintain Iraqi arms as a deterrent against Iran. Drip feeding arms into a war of attrition to be a pest has strategic rationale. Drip feeding arms, arms meant to intimidate through the prospect of overwhelming force no less, into air defenses below replacement rates is just dumb.


> Drip feeding arms, arms meant to intimidate through the prospect of overwhelming force no less, into air defenses below replacement rates is just dumb.

That probably depends on the cost of the arms, the cost of the interceptors, and any number of other externalities or indirect goals. If you can reliably induce high end interceptors to fire against cheap rockets (granted, that's a big if) you are definitely winning the immediate economic exchange.

Tactically sensible. Strategically foolish.

The deterrent value of Hezbollah’s arsenal was in overwhelming Israeli defenses and causing loss of life. That is what democracies, first and foremost, respond to. (Second being cost of living.) Spending a potent deterrent to play economic attrition with Israel, a rich country with a richer friend, was stupid.


It’s unlikely that Iran will get it’s demands at least all of them, and further it’s likely that this ceasefire will break no matter what.

The strait is actually not international waters. It’s shared between Oman and Iran remember (deep water shipping lanes does not exists everywhere in it as well). There was reporting of an agreement on both sides to some sort of shared booth.

Only the US would be the permanent party to vote against it which would be against which would be weird if the agree to the conditions in the first place.

IAEA are stooges, they will do what the US tells them and they’ll come up with some legitimate way of doing it.


To be honest both sides are purging top brass. Chinas top brass was too old anyway.
