And there is Russia's motive for blowing the dam.Biden admin says the counteroffensive started yesterday.
I saw that on Apple News yesterday or this morning. Cannot remember which, I saw the headlin but presumed it was Ukraine that had done that???And there is Russia's motive for blowing the dam.
It's hard to blow up a dam if you are not in control of it. If Ukraine had used artillery or missiles on it I assume that we would have seen some videos of it as it would have to be quite a barrage to take out the dam.I saw that on Apple News yesterday or this morning.

It's also hard to destroy infrastructure in russia if you're not in control of it. I'm not referring to the bullshit drone strikes in moscow. That was a shit false flag. At this point I would be surprised if the Ukrainians haven't turned a fair number of russian soldiers. Or partisans working for the Ukrainians.It's hard to blow up a dam if you are not in control of it.

IIRC there were reports about Russia rigging it to explode a while back.
It buys them time. At least a week, probably more. Resources rerouted to civilian emergency. Ground is going to be muddy and impassable, roads destroyed, etc.The russians blowing up the dam won't make a lick of a difference because nothing they've done has since worked out for them, why would this?
I've not prayed to god in... cobwebs time, but I think I will for incredibly dry hot weather to dry up those grounds and let the Ukrainians pass through and clobber the shit out of the russians. Quite frankly 'm sick of opening up my news app and reading headlines of drone attacks in Ukraine.It buys them time. At least a week, probably more. Resources rerouted to civilian emergency. Ground is going to be muddy and impassable, roads destroyed, etc.
Don't forget the oil pipeline hack a couple years ago. And I think I read something about them infiltrating most American and European power grids recently. May have been China. Another disease on modern civility.For all the division internal rupture and culture war bullshit, the 2016 US elections and elections throughout Europe the past decade+, Russia has instigated, fanning and upright toppled democratic institutions in its quest for power? Hit jobs throughout Europe and GB with zero fucks given. Even fewer fucks given for domestic hits.
Russia is a disease of this planet.
Those are MAGA headlines for MAGA viewers.I saw that on Apple News yesterday or this morning. Cannot remember which, I saw the headlin but presumed it was Ukraine that had done that???
Shame on the West for not securing our silicon supply chains earlier, and letting AI/ML tech out of the bag. If you think it’s bad now, just wait until China takes Taiwan.Interesting
Russia's Lancet kamikaze drone is equipped with an NVIDIA Jetson TX2 computer and an Xilinx Zynq chip
Ukrainian specialists have disassembled a previously captured Russian Lancet kamikaze drone. Activist Roman Kashchuk published photos of the drone's insides.gagadget.com
This is how private industry work; imagine congress trying to restrict private industry. While we do restrict export to certain countries there are so many middle men violate these restriction it is hard to track. Not like we can go to Iran and monitor all items entering the country.Shame on the West for not securing our silicon supply chains earlier, and letting AI/ML tech out of the bag.

I understand that. I also understand that even when we nationalize laboratories like Los Alamos etc. the Chinese and Russians will always find ways to pilfer secrets (industrial espionage etc.)This is how private industry work; imagine congress trying to restrict private industry.

That's why the infrastructure bill included several billion to build fabs in the usa; so that semi are manufactured domestically. However it will take several years to build them.I understand that.

But it’s impossible to monitor tech export controls when 90% of the silicon is being manufactured a few miles off the coast of China vs. within your own borders.
