Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion



This is crazy, almost unbelievable I’d say. I hope to god it’s accurate. I wonder if they have more tanks now than at the start of the war. That would really be something given Russia has lost so many.
 


Both are playing on a misinterpretation of the purpose of intelligence. Its not meant to be a crystal ball for politicians. Rather its meant to inform of present conditions on the ground so policy makers can make choices based on near real time events.

True. And I don't think that CIA (or any other organization) is monolithic, as in "CIA says this". They have multiple analysts who don't always agree. I am sure that they present a more complicated analysis to the politicians than these tweets imply.
 
In addition to Elon, I've seen a lot of other tech bros expressing concerns about the war and essentially advocating for appeasement because they, like Elon, thought about the issue for five minutes and now have some very valuable Thoughts™. Silicon Valley is basically Mos Eisley. Just full of the worst human beings (well, outside of actual war criminals, etc.), and it's only getting worse.

Silicon Valley is essentially a regional cult hub where people get given millions in venture capital to cos-play as steve jobs. The level of narcissism becoming so high that they not only believe they are deities but have the ability to put their deity "intellect" to any problem. The likes of Musk and tech-bro's actually having a policy say over geo-politics would've seen us in a nuclear exchange long ago.
 


Uh oh...

Seems a fuel car is on fire for unknown reasons.

Yeah, they need to keep their collective narcissistic personality disorder within the confines of Silicon Valley and stop spreading it elsewhere.. They're almost all some Ayn Rand John Galt weirdos who believe that their "expertise" in their field translates to every other field. With crypto, NFTs, and the metaverse crap, Silicon Valley is now like 90% scams instead of creating anything productive.
 




:drool: Whether this was intentional by the Ukrainians or some sheer dumb luck, it's very good news.

Has anyone seen any videos to confirm if it was a missile strike or a bomb? Or something else?
 
It would take a massive drone to be able to carry the payload required to take out a bridge.
Even those massive drones? I suppose those aren't for remote detonation, I can't say I'm very familiar with explosive weights.
