@DavidRBellamy@DaveRBanerjee How will our countermeasures be comparably fast? Will they not be AI driven as well? The question on everyone's mind is what if it comes down to AI vs Humans? I am not saying it will come to that but that it what people fear.
@hashjenni Well, there's also the part about not invading your neighbor and committing every atrocity known to Man against peaceful civilians while filming and livestreaming it like a bunch of demons from hell...
In today’s Vatnik Soup, we introduce Yanis Varoufakis, a Greek economist and politician. He’s best known for rising to power at the height of the Greek debt crisis, not solving anything but endearing himself to the left, and using his fame to promote Russian imperialism.

Bill Maher on Iran’s supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei: “Four times he has traveled to a clinic in England to treat impotence. Yes, I love the Ayatollahs; they hate the infidel West until their d*ck doesn’t work.”
“This guy’s got a real problem. When he gets to paradise, he’s going to say to the 72 virgins, ‘Can we just talk?’”
Thank you all so much for re-following me here on this new account 🙏 I am trying to follow people back quickly but X is limiting me. I will get to you soon, I promise ♥️
Ukraine forever 🇺🇦
Do you remember that very night -- the night before the day of all days, four years ago?
How many of us didn’t sleep at all.
We sat in the dark in silence, in front of our laptops, refreshing news feeds.
Here was Blinken saying the invasion was inevitable within the next few hours. Here was Zelensky speaking in the middle of the night in Russian, pleading with all Russians to come to their senses at the last moment and not take a fatal step.
Here was the news that the runways of Ukraine’s largest airports had been blocked with overturned vehicles.
We sat with Flighradar24 open. Here at 1 a.m., over northern and eastern Ukraine, an American drone was making multiple circles, monitoring the massive Russian grouping on our border from Belarus to Crimea.
A plane seemed to have taken off, evacuating Turkish diplomats. They must have been among the last ones... Russia had closed all airspace along its entire border with Ukraine later on.
In journalists’ chats, hundreds of colleagues just as sleepless. “Guys, be ready… it seems like today.”
But hope, of course, died last.
Maybe today it would pass. Maybe it was still a bluff and blackmail, because that would be logical. They couldn’t possibly go through with such madness. It would be a catastrophe of biblical proportions and a bloody slaughter in which it would be impossible to win. They couldn’t fail to understand that.
And then -- “live” on Russian TV (in reality, of course, everything had been recorded well in advance as part of a pre-invasion propaganda performance) -- Putin’s face, distorted with sadistic hatred and a smirk of gloating, announcing the “special military operation.”
What is there to say, four years have passed since that night.
If someone had told me then that four years later independent Ukraine would be at the forefront of the entire free world,
fighting alone on equal terms against the full military power of Russia,
with the Ukrainian flag over every regional capital that was free from occupation that night,
with Ukrainian-made drones and cruise missiles that smash Russian oil refineries, airfields, and giant military factories every single night
— I would never, ever have believed it.
And yet, through unparalleled heroism and enormous sacrifice, fighting Ukraine has changed the course of history.
She disproved all the arrogant skeptics who were burying her alive back then and giving her no chance, already ready to run and “negotiate” with yet another deranged maniac hungry for blood and territorial grabs.
Glory to Ukraine!
@TayfunStudios@StavrosZenios@robin_j_brooks Blah, blah, blah... Truth is that when we Greeks were building Parthenons, you guys where still picking fruits from the trees. And you are still sore about that centuries later... 😋
