War is bad. And our reality isn’t some unchanging truth. Our actions and choices, or apathy, help shape our reality. It is not childish to aspire to be better.

You can explain that to the Ukrainians and tell them how they shouldn't have American technical superiority like Starlink and the American AI and data in their drones to survive another day.

I reread my comment. Nowhere did I suggest countries don’t defend themselves. Nor did I say we shouldn’t make war.

We should minimize war and try other alternatives. And maybe try diplomacy and longer term thinking. Plus governments should value the governed.

But countries and people always have the right to defend themselves from attackers as they see fit.

The technology is the same technology. Case in point: the Intel gathered from the tools named in the article and any AI/ML tools trained from it.

The Russians seem to refer to most people not helping them as enemies. Often as nazis too.

Stupid generalization, just like propagandist stereotypes about obese redneck Americans and perverted Europeans. Only propagandists and their victims can throw rocks like this without any discernment. Any nation is a collection of vastly different personalities, out of whom one could of course pick a group with sought after characteristics, but taking one such group and extending its characteristics to the whole nati…

I was thinking Russian government and propagandists, especially Putin. BBC going on about it https://youtu.be/2gNp0PfK0CI

if it can be used to murder people it will be. the only reason we dont have antimatter weapons or gravity guns is because we haven't figured out how.

We have international treaties that ban biological and chemical weapons. Other weapons that are regulated include anti-personnel mines, cluster bombs, and blinding lasers. Expanding bullets are banned in military uses as are incendiary weapons against civilian targets. That's the state today. Throughout history there's been a long negotiation about what weapons have been allowed in combat.

tell that to the people that Assad gassed -- in his own country -- or the Kurds gassed by Saddam. Or all of the chemical weapons used in the 1980s during Iran-Iraq.

or all of the people dying from AP mines in Ukraine.

half the world signed anti-mine treaties because they knew that if the real shooting started the US or USSR (who didn't sign the treaties) had a stockpile to send them.

there are easily searchable videos of the incendiary weapons being used against Ukrainians.

where are those international bodies?
