  • To the headline: NO.

    The clearest change that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is likely to make on foreign policy is in Ukraine.

    Not really, despite his insane promises, he most likely will do nothing. Except block further aid to Ukraine. But that already happened when the house blocked aid for 8 months.

    declining Western stockpiles

    Many European countries are supporting Ukraines native weapon production, and increasing production in EU. Although USA has a bigger industrial complex, and some of the best weapons, I think the rest of the world will still more than a a match for Russia.

    Ukraine’s significant manpower and corruption problems —have increased.

    No it has not increased, and it is worse for Russia. Russia is blatantly corrupt, and their economy evidently cannot carry the burden of the war at current levels, where Ukraine has a financial budget for next year that seems way more sustainable.

    Ukraine will win without USA, because the rest of the world will continue to support Ukraine.



  • They are absolutely 100% unintelligent, I never claimed otherwise. Still they know what the science says, they just refuse to acknowledge it over their stupid religious faith.

    Being an idiot doesn’t mean you are uninformed on very basic issues.
    Every single one of these idiots have been presented with the facts at some point. They just refuse to accept fact.

    Sure, they know broadly

    I never said they know how, but they know the scientists know, but they won’t acknowledge science for the reasons I mentioned.
    Every single one of these idiots have been presented with the basic facts, and know them, they simply won’t accept facts over their beliefs.

    The point is they have been INFORMED. So they you can’t call them uninformed.
    But you can call them ignorant because they CHOOSE to IGNORE facts.




  • Every antivaxer knows the Science shows vaccines work, they just refuse to accept science, and claim it’s a conspiracy, because they are religious fanatics, that refuse to accept anything that counter their religion.
    I’ve claimed for 20 years that USA as a nation is mentally ill. They celebrate individualism and freedom to a point where sociopathy has become a virtue, because zero moral standards means ultimate freedom. Then they replace their lack of moral standards with arbitrary pseudo moral standards from the bible.
    That’s the problem, not that they are uninformed.




  • Here in EU it’s illegal to advertise to consumers without taxes. Regulation is cool when t protects consumers and the environment and it stimulate real competition, instead of the more sophisticated liar.
    I grief every time I hear some stupid Republican American call for more deregulation. Deregulation was also what made the banks fail.
    But somehow there is little response in USA against the minimal state you can drown in a bathtub?!
    Although it’s obviously worse to empower the mega corps and the mega rich, over a lawful state regulation against abusing power.

    Edit: de-hyperlinking the lens site, they don’t deserve any clicks, only hate.

    Good call. 😀





  • Absolutely, if Intel hadn’t been sleeping on their laurels for 5 years on desktop performance, and had made 6 and 8 core CPUs themselves before Ryzen arrived. Ryzen would not have been nearly as successful. This was followed by the catastrophic Intel 10nm fab failures, allowing AMD to stay ahead even longer.

    So absolutely, AMD has been helped a lot by Intel failing to react in time, and then failing in execution when they did react.
    Still I think congratulation is in order, because Ryzen was such a huge improvement on the desktop and server, that they absolutely deserve their success. Threadripper was icing on the cake, and completely trashed Intel in the workstation segment.

    And AMD exposed Intel’s weakness in face of real competition. Arm and Nvidia had already done that in their respective areas, but AMD did it on Intel’s core business.
