B-2 Bombers Head West Across Pacific Amidst Iran Crisis

Good thing America elected the “anti-war” guy
Too bad USA doesn't help Ukraine instead. USA even promised they would, when Ukraine gave up their nuclear arsenal!
Even under Biden the help was only halfhearted. The amount was significant, but the abilities of the equipment Ukraine was allowed to get was very restricted. Obama too wasn't any help in 2014 either, and let Russia take Crimea without issue!
It's not just Trump and republicans who are guilty of making USA untrustworthy. Democrats are part of the problem too.
We need to kick USA out of NATO, and invite other including non Atlantic democracies to join instead. USA has stated they are not sure they will honor article 5 (The musketeer article), and if they won't, they cannot be part of NATO anymore. Because that's the whole purpose of NATO.
And the kicker is that Europeans went and died in Afghanistan when the US decided to invade it and called Art 5 using 9/11 as pretext. The whole reason those people died was that in this exact scenario the US would still be on our side. And it isn't.
We (Denmark) helped USA in both Iraq and Afghanistan. In Afghanistan we even had the highest rate of fatal casualties among allies, compared to the size of our population.
Now we are not buying American made defense equipment anymore, apart from contracts already signed, and we are working to get rid of Microsoft in government organizations and public services.
Many European countries are doing the same, no more helping the American military industrial complex, or the American government when they have an F35 program with budget overruns. Which we actually did when we signed our F35 contract with USA.
Let’s hope they have all been upgraded with ~~Cyberdyne computers~~ OpenAI LLMs, becoming fully unmanned. And that afterwards, they fly with a perfect operational record.
you half joke, but there's no doubt AI controlled drones are a thing already (or going to be within a year).
given that drones can be jammed now. Ukraine has been using tethered drones to avoid it, and the next step is to give them a gpu and run ai models internally,
I wouldn't be surprised if military drone usage data is being used to train some models.
slight proof for this is Russia putting tires on top of airplanes to trick AI, which means they after confident AI war drones are a thing already.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
