Americans will be able to use Finnish territory for training and deployment of equipment and weapons

If you are going in, you might as well go all in.

That could put considerable hardware right on Russia's doorstep. Good move.

Two things.

1) When I talk about this with people in my immediate world, I get blank stares. Perhaps it's not actually scary to most people because it's not as real as inflation, mass shootings, Ukraine, and failing banks?

2) Why do I read stuff like this and it already has a "Oh shit! It's too late!" feel to it (to me)?

And I could be spectacularly wrong; I sometimes have a penchant for that.

I think you hit both nails on the head there...

Elon Musk was talking about this. I only caught bits and pieces but I believe he said he regretted investing in the technology in the beginning. had a disagreement with Google and was called a "speciest".

So yea if that is true, you can interpret that there are now people who think we should not discriminate against Artificial Intelligence simply because we are concerned about our own species! What the hell?!

No sir, no disrespect directed at you at all. I was making a comment on the post, and how it is destroying our nation.

I totally misunderstood your post. I am sorry. Please accept my apology. I got all aggressive and dumb. In my defense, I am probably the third generation of my family to be literate lol.....and maybe "literate" is a bit generous.

The same mentality that set up the 2008 bank failures is alive and well in the Bidet administration. A bunch of people that do not qualify for home purchase loans are given loans based on the premise that the property will appreciate and if the people default and the house goes back to the bank nothing will be lost. but since the policy increased the demand, the prices increased proportionately causing market saturation, resulting in the prices dropping- the bank forecloses and gets a house that has market value less than that outstanding loan- bank loses money and on a large scale goes bankrupt. The Bidet admin is doing the same thing under the name of equity- those people that have high risk are rewarded with loans that are subsidized by those people with low risk. So once again, the MAGA working class is paying for the rich and the poor.
