Not getting jokes is a skill issue, what can I say.

You can say you are wrong because you don't know the person at all.

I will say I have very low confidence that your perception of reality and actual reality match.

I trust very few "sources", especially these days. And even more especially, in the middle of a war between two former USSR states that have deep histories in manipulating public opinion and weaponizing that against their adversaries.

> weaponizing that against their adversaries I understand your skepticism, but here is an interview from April 2025 with the founder of VYRIY, a Ukrainian drone company: https://militarnyi.com/en/news/vyriy-founder-compares-accura... According to him, Russian drones are far superior. "In terms of [Ukrainian drone vs Russian drone] quality, well, like 10% vs. 80%. It’s not even comparable,” Oleksii Babenko sums up.

Again, I don’t trust sources that are random quotes on the interwebs during a conflict where people are dying (or corporate PR speak) but maybe that’s a me problem?

Oh, totally, I'm so glad you have all the facts and can enlighten us. I think NATO is more important now than it has been in decades.

NATO can't decide if they should try and shoot down Russian missiles and drones over their territory because they are afraid to escalate and don't want to anger Russia. Did you know they only agreed to shoot down Russian war planes flying over NATO territory after Trump okayed it? Unbelievable that they would let an adversary fly their bombers over their territory in the first place. Did you know that NATO has member…

Hey, I didn't say NATO was effective (they should be shooting down anything Russian that violates their NATO airspace, just like Turkey did).

I just said NATO is really important at the moment. It's a tool - an important tool - but that doesn't mean it's being wielded correctly. Is that the fault of the hammer or the fault of the Trump supporter holding it?

That article suggests that the difference is due to economics & possibly intended use, not technological advances.

Manufacturing is a technology.

But manufacturing something simpler to achieve optimal cost/benefit ratios is not a technological advance.
