re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

No Colours is a “far left bomb thrower” (to borrow a phrase from the great Bill O’Reilly), but even they are not considering a vote for Joe Biden this November.

To answer their (I’m assuming someone as progressive as No Colours uses gender neutral terminology) attack on me, I am a proud Christian who attended a rollicking service on Sunday evening celebrating the Resurrection and I am a proud Populist who holds traditional values in most respects.

1. The election was stolen through illegal and unvetted mail in balloting in key swing cities / states under the guise of COVID. Further, billions of dollars of unfair and untruthful coverage was directed towards the Trump administration for over 4 years regarding Russian collision and a cover up of damaging intel on the Bidens.

2. The Covid vaccine mandates were the most unlawful thing the US government had participated in since the interment of Japanese Americans during WWII (also by a Democrat administration).

3. Globalist elites most certainly control many aspects of the world. Only naive boomers like GOP_Tiger and gender neutral far left activists like No Colours disagree. It is our duty to support populist leaders like Milei, Trump, Wilders, etc. to fight back against the cabal.

MAGA isn't the GOP. Trump has never been conservative. And he wasn't a Republican until he needed the tag to run for president

False. Trump Changed to the Republican party in 1987, and since that time has changed his party affiliation 5 times. In 2012 Trump changed again to the Republican party (he was an Independent prior to that).

Hey, not for nothing, but there's a whole PT board for stuff about MAGA/not MAGA.

Y'all can feel free to downvote me when you see me there.

I can't help but notice the Pro-Putin types are the ones who keep trying to steer things towards the upcoming election.

Ukraine's defense forces destroyed 976 enemy artillery systems in March 2024, the highest monthly figure since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

The Ukrainian Defense Ministry's press service said this in a post on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

"In March 2024, the Ukrainian Defense Forces destroyed 976 Russian artillery systems. This is the highest monthly figure since the start of the full-scale invasion," the post said.

According to the infographic published by the ministry, Ukrainian forces destroyed 746 Russian artillery systems in January and 878 in February.

That's a fair point and I'll try my best to refrain from further dialogue in this direction.

Ukrainian drones employing AI to strike Russian targets with high precision – CNN
STANISLAV POHORILOV — Tuesday, 2 April 2024, 12:48

The Ukrainian military has begun employing AI-powered drones for strikes on Russia, enabling precise targeting of specific facilities within Russia’s territory.

Source: CNN, citing sources

Quote: A source close to Ukraine’s drone programme said that the Ukrainians have begun integrating a basic form of artificial intelligence into drones, aiding them in navigation and helping avoid jamming.

"Accuracy under jamming is enabled through the use of artificial intelligence. Each aircraft has a terminal computer with satellite and terrain data," explained a CNN source.

"The flights are determined in advance with our allies, and the aircraft follow the flight plan to enable us to strike targets with metres of precision," the source added.

Reportedly, such precision is provided by the drones' sensors. "They have this thing called ‘machine vision,’ which is a form of AI. Basically you take a model and you have it on a chip and you train this model to identify geography and the target it is navigating to. When it is finally deployed, it is able to identify where it is," explained Noah Sylvia, a research analyst at UK-based think tank Royal United Services Institute.

"It does not require any communication (with satellites), it is completely autonomous," Sylvia added.

Chris Lincoln-Jones, a former British military officer and an expert in drone warfare and artificial intelligence, told CNN that the level of "intelligence" in UAVs is still very low.

"This level of autonomy had not yet been seen in drones before, but we are still in the early stages of potential of this technology," he said.
