AI usually means Arseholes Involved. It’s a thieving, hollowing and unethical beast of a thing. It has no place in an ethical, decent society. It has no place in Hookland and never will.

A truly infernal video has surfaced from attack by Ukrainian forces yesterday, on the Tuapse seaport. The massive explosion points to a serious payload carried by an USV. Extra credit goes to the cameraman, who happened to be in the right place at the right time

We have sworn declarations from USIP's president, security chief, chief of staff, director of comms and two members of outside counsel who were all present the day of the raid and support our bid for MPD to release the body cam footage. They agree Americans deserve to know what happened that day.
Former USIP security chief says MPD gave 'high-fives and fist bumps' after raid
The latest on the lawsuit to get MPD's body cam footage released.

Worse still, the very allies who warned you, the ones who knew aggression must be stopped and who actively armed Ukraine, are now directly threatened. This is the predictable outcome of leadership in NATO and Europe defined by profound stupidity and cowardice.

The decision to sacrifice Ukrainians as disposable, second-class people for the sake of "avoiding escalation" has been an act of strategic idiocy. The consequences are now clear: Russia is more battle-hardened,its drone production is in overdrive, and its desperation makes it more dangerous,not less
On the first day of Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, President Zelensky called NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg from a bunker in Kyiv, pleading for a no-fly zone to stop Russian airstrikes.
He cited NATO’s past interventions in Bosnia and Iraq, but

The impact of Russia's bombing campaigns and the resulting blackouts isn't just physical, it's a constant state of high-alert anxiety and anger.
The physical hardship is secondary. The true horror of the blackouts is isolation.

This is not how health insurance works.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"
