the European Commission is not democracy sadly! It is actually a private elitist administrative body, mandate by country governments and simply vetted or not by the EU Parliament... if they care about the uses or the industry, will depend a lot of the person on charge of that area, we had good people, but also corrupt ones. The EU Parliament is a democracy and usually much easier to reach... and they can force the Commission actions if enough support is gather

Agreed, in fact I think that's a major reason to avoid use of non-hybrid PQC.

sure, but those aren't cheap... the bigger they are, the more expensive they get

A Reaper vs a glide bomb, glide will be much cheaper, you lose precision, but you can use can still use more of them

Totally agree!

Many people think that winning a war is easy and with no cost... like Putin and friends... they are learning that it isn't...
Like Trump is learning that listening to Israel to engage war with Iran had a huge price... sadly in Israeli side they still didn't learn that lesson, mostly because is the USA paying most of the cost of all Israeli wars... maybe the cost will be that USA may not support Israel again and finally allow the 2 states solution!
I do really hope Hamas learn the cost lesson too

Not just "the future", but the future of AI. If you go by future projected revenue as predicted by SpaceX (which is the only projection that justifies their valuation), they are an AI company with a small space division. An AI market in which they are not at all well-positioned. Buying Cursor may improve that somewhat. Maybe that's the plan - buy every promising AI startup with stock, until they hit gold.

> First of all those countries didn't want to join NATO, but the European Union.

Sorry, but you are clearly American or at least with the same limited knowledge about the world... both were already in EU for many years. since 1995, the NATO is recent (2024) and only happen exactly because of Russia invasion of Ukraine. Sweden and Finland both were neutral by option, but Finland also was afraid that changing that could provoke Russia and for Russia, a neutral country between them and NATO was also a insurance.

Go check the NATO member:

>As for south american countries, if they want to associate with Russia, good for them, they have every right. And they are far enough !!!

Sure, that is why Trump attacked Venezuela and is now (like many other presidents) treating Cuba. Cuba only have economical problems because of the USA embargo and threats to anyone doing trade with Cuba... that doesn't look like "they have every right."

a 200Kg bomb is more expensive than a drone with a 5kg bomb

one can destroy a building, the other can destroy a house/apartment
the first is only accurate if equipped to do so... a drone can't never carry high loads because it needs to grow bigger to cost way more

at least those guns point to a fixed direction... drones, by bugs, jamming, hacked may end anyware

so when Ukraine invaded Russia Sudza region, to try to divert troops from Bakhmut, transform itself in to a invader too and so can be freely bombed?

Of course not, war crimes are still war crimes, there is no justification, that is just a bad way to feel better when doing bad things

like chemical and biological weapons are banned, it is just a matter of doing the same.
those ban work because using them may trigger the other side to also use them and the number of dead skyrocket.

Those weapons were used after ww2 (sadly) mostly against civilians that could not do the same... against military targets, that can escalate quickly. It is basically the same with nuclear. Everyone knows that each superpower have stock of both... just in case the other side tries to use them

>Entire Ukrainian cities have been razed to the ground.
by both sides... fight house by house usually have that effect, even more now with drones targeting each occupied house

> More civilians were killed in Mariupol alone.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... - Ukraine sources: 25k, Russia: 3k ... Uppsala: 27 to 88k (probably the region, not just the city)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... - 72,6k

So no

also notice this from the same pages:

>As of February 2023, Russia claimed to have charged 680 Ukrainians with war crimes, including 118 soldiers and Defence Ministry officials

Sadly in war, both sides commit war crimes, for sure the Russia side have more, but don't believe that the Ukrainian side is innocent as the western news try to show

The problem is not actually Zelensky, but some around him and basically all the system (similar to the Russian one, one of the reasons they are at war, power control), like that one that was promoted and a few months later was demoted because it was found it was stealing money for the army.

Both governments are highly corrupt

keep playing "global thermonuclear war" until you learn that it is just a more complex tic-tac-toe
