As Russia weakens, risk aversion increases, not decreases. Policymakers often prefer a controlled stalemate to an uncontrolled collapse.
This is a classic great power behavior pattern.
Weakening an adversary is acceptable, forcing systemic collapse is perceived as dangerous.

Agree. I said before the election that whichever candidate could posture as a “centrist“ would win. The US, is not represented by the far left or right. Trump won on the border issue. Americans didn’t embrace Trump. He was the only alternative after rejecting the Democrats platform.

Powerful AI chips are dual-use: they can drive commercial AI, but also surveillance, cyber-warfare, autonomous weapon research, or other military-relevant applications. Exporting them removes a barrier that slowed such developments.

The logic makes no sense. If one of the survivors radioed for help, how does killing him prevent a second boat from showing up? If another boat shows up, (assuming one agrees with this in the first place) to retrieve any remaining drugs, then use your second missile to destroy it.
