War

Obama promises $1 billion more in security welfare to eastern European NATO allies. With China and Russia cozying up, China is unlikely to continue to fund US aggression against Russia.

Ron Paul criticizes Obama's wars.

"Back in early 2012, just months after the US-led attack on Libya overthrew Gaddafi and plunged the country into chaos, the UN issued a report warning about the proliferation of weapons from that bombed out country. UN investigators found — eight months before the attack that killed the US ambassador in Benghazi — that, “Some of the weapons … could be sold to terrorist groups like al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, Boko Haram or other criminal organizations.”
The US, NATO, and the UN are guilty of creating the unrest currently engulfing much of northern Africa, as they all pushed lies to promote an attack on Libya that destabilized the region. Now the president is launching an intervention in Chad and Nigeria to solve the problems created by his own intervention in Libya. This pattern is the same in places like Ukraine, where the US-backed coup in February has led to chaos and unrest that leads to even more intervention, including NATO’s saber-rattling on the Russian border. Has anyone in the Administration or Congress ever considered that interventionism itself might be the real problem?"

Rhetorical question.

I'm not surprised the Ukrainian elections were rigged.

"Presidential aspirants were all putschist-approved. They’re fascists. Ballot choices excluded democrats.
Several legitimate candidates dropped out. They were threatened. They feared for their lives."

That fits the US model.

The Pentagon's three laws for killer robots.

"The whole project even more fundamentally violates [Asimov's] second law. The Pentagon is designing robots to obey orders precisely when they violate the first law, and to always obey orders without any exception. That’s the advantage of using a robot. The advantage is not in risking the well-being of a robot instead of a soldier. The Pentagon doesn’t care about that, except in certain situations in which too many deaths of its own humans create political difficulties. And there are just as many situations in which there are political advantages for the Pentagon in losing its own human lives: “The sacrifice of American lives is a crucial step in the ritual of commitment,” wrote William P. Bundy of the CIA, an advisor to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. A moral being would disobey the orders these robots are being designed to carry-out, and — by being robots — to carry out without any question of refusal. Only a U.S. philosophy professor could imagine applying a varnish of “morality” to this project."

The idea of caring about morality in a killer robot is absurd.

In 2010, Taliban claimed just-released POW had converted to Islam and taught them to make bombs. Where would he have learned that?

Claim that 14 US soldiers died searching for this POW.
