Saw it live, and was legit feeling a panic like, this is the end.
Timely. Netflix has series "Turning Point: the Bomb and the Cold War" that is a good watch while the world burns.

#172I wish HN allowed threads like this to hit the front page... The world is changing pretty quickly, and stuff like this does have implications on war, business, technology that's I think is worth discussing here.
Yes, please show me more political drama, especially of the US-based comedy show you guys call "politics." Can't get enough of it. Only 60% of my HN feed has "Trump", "DOGE" or "Musk" in the title, that's not nearly enough for my taste, I'm gagging to see more of it. There must be some conspiracy going on, I'm sure of it.

#173It should be crystal clear now who the leader of the free world really is.

#174That’ll be water for the Russian propaganda. America, what have you chosen. It’s clear you have a Russian insurgent in the White House.
They have already started dismantling the government. Next they’ll shake up the military. Every totalitarian regime shakes up the military.

#175The American government has been compromised by Russia. It no longer represents American interests, but Russian interests. Whether the senior powers in America are compromised, complicit, or opportunist, it doesn't matter. America is being damaged. Russian interests are being prioritized over American interests. Our military is too powerful for direct conflict, so alternative conflict against our political structure…
> It no longer represents American interests, but Russian interests
And Israeli interests
And that’s across pretty much all branches of governments and administrations, for quite some time now
American people’s needs be damned

#176I got this weird dissonance - like this was a science from a TV show about the White House, because no-one, I mean no-one would ever do that inpublic. Apart from common courtesy, even basic management training says praise in public, criticise in private. Just doing this in front of the world’s media … it’s hard to understand
It makes more sense when you interpret it as an attempt at humiliation, not diplomacy.

#177Sorry about the podcast link, the gist is that Ukraine now can build drones from cardboard, controlled from Kiev, London etc. that can destroy Russian tanks. https://www.ft.com/content/8793e218-9dc4-43a8-8183-e2a092bbb...
A lot of promise about Ukraine "knockout blows" that turn out like woeful summer offensive or the dalliance in Kursk.

Or whatever interests have compromised or bribed the administration

#180Don't forget that Ukraine has a pretty good donation website setup if that happens to be a cause you are willing and have the financial resources to give to.
Wonder how long until donating to UKR gets you put on some sort of government list.
