Countdown to Gigadeath – From AI Arms Race to Artilect War
This is fucking scary and insane; this scientist is creating AI robots, machines for war and death. He is admitting machines will be smarter than people and will ultimately kill us.
He knows his children and grandchildren will live or die a horrible life or death,and he’s just glad he won’t be around to see it, but he will continue to build and create these machines and AI

Exactly thisnotable. Just like NASA has been hinting at it for years. The real story is, the UFO’s, aliens represent less harm (if they exist) than our Government and China

German foreign minister admits blunder
Annalena Baerbock clarified a remark made at the European Council about “fighting a war against Russia”
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has conceded that her controversial comment about the European Union being at war with Russia, which she made late last month before the European Council, was a mistake. (But the truth!)
The diplomat noted, however, that the general message itself – that the continent should unite in its support for Ukraine – still stands.
In an interview with Der Tagesspiegel newspaper, which was published on Saturday, Baerbock was asked whether she thought Germany was “at war with Russia.” She replied in the negative but added that, by attacking Ukraine, Moscow was also attacking “our European peace order.”
Clarifying her previous remark, in which she said the EU was “fighting a war against Russia,” the foreign minister claimed that context was key to understanding it correctly.
Baerbock recounted how she had to parry accusations that Germany was not doing enough to shore up Ukraine at the time, with critics citing Berlin’s refusal to provide Kiev with tanks.
“That’s why I made it clear that we do support Ukraine in its self defense,” the diplomat explained. She added that she was also trying to communicate another point, that Moscow’s offensive had targeted the whole security architecture of Europe, and not merely its neighbor. (Bullshit!)
According to Baerbock, her words had been deliberately misinterpreted by the “Russian regime’s propaganda.”
She concluded by quoting a German saying: “The one who doesn’t make mistakes, doesn’t live.”
Commenting on Baerbock’s remark, Moscow said at the time that it had only served to show that the West had been planning the current conflict for years.
Her choice of words did not sit well with a number of politicians at home either, both on the right and left of the political spectrum.
Bild claimed that Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s office was growing increasingly dissatisfied with Baerbock’s performance, and was reportedly logging her missteps.(Scholz is just as bad but doesn’t say things publicly.)
(Why hasn’t Germany said anything about Nord Stream being blown up? It appears Germany was cool with US bombing Nord Stream, because they were too scared to cut off the agreement. There’s no way Germany weren’t alerted that the US was going to do this. Germany didn’t win WWII against the Russians, why in the hell would they think with US and EU support they would win this one. They are all cowards being led by a demented President and IC.)

Tulsi Gabbard slams ‘dangerous’ Clinton following India trip
The noted Hillary Clinton critic said that the visit shows she is ‘envious’ of the Biden presidency
(Oh, Gawd Damn, she’s going for it again! Or her clone is.)
Former Democratic US Representative Tulsi Gabbard has continued her long-running feud with Hillary Clinton following the ex-Secretary of State’s recent visit to India. She told Fox News that the trip served little purpose, and shows that former presidentialcandidate is a “dangerous character” who is “envious”of Joe Biden.
Clinton arrived in India on February 5, visiting salt pan workers in Gujarat where she announced a $50-million initiative intended to empower women and communities to fight against climate change.
However, Gabbard – who left the Democrat Party last year – has since said that Clinton’s visit to drum up support for alternative clean energy shows that she still covets diplomatic authority and is “envious” of Joe Biden's presidency.
“Her desire to be commander-in-chief that she’s had for a very long time has nothing to do with ensuring the safety and security of the American people,” Gabbard said on FOX News’ ‘Jesse Watters Primetime’ show Thursday. “It has everything to do with the fact that if there’s a war to be fought, she wants to be the one with her finger on that proverbial trigger.”
She added that she believes Biden to be “channelling her warmongering ways.” Clinton has previously referred to Gabbard as a “Russian asset,” which prompted the former Hawaii Democrat to launch a defamation lawsuit.
Gabbard also stated that Clinton’s visit to India did nothing to address India’s more pressing issues, such as tensions with its neighbor Pakistan, and that its only benefit was to increase her own public profile. “This is what makes her such a dangerous character,” Gabbard said. “She feels that she’s not accountable to anyone because she’s not suffering those consequences.”
While in India, Clinton said that the country was ideally positioned to implement clean energy methods, which, she claimed, would increase economic growth. She referenced solar power facilities at a salt pan farm she'd visited in Surendranagar as evidence of this.
Clinton also used the visit to praise self-employed Indian women who have chosen to work in roles such as street vendors, farmers and laborers.

Report mulls major boost to China’s nuclear arsenal
The stockpile of warheads possessed by Beijing will more than double in just over a decade, sources told Kyodo news agency
China is aiming to increase the number of its nuclear warheads to 900 by 2035 as a deterrent against the US, Chinese sources have told Kyodo news agency.
According to people familiar with the matter, President Xi Jinping has already approved the plan to double the country's nuclear arsenal, the Korean agency reported on Saturday.
The top brass of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army reaffirmed the importance of nuclear deterrence in November, the sources said. According to those, they did so after drawing conclusions from the conflict in Ukraine, where the West, despite providing weapons, funds, training, and intelligence to Kiev, has refrained from a direct confrontation with Russia due to its possession of the world's most nuclear warheads.
The number of China’s warheads is likely to grow from around 400 to 550 by 2027 and reach 900 in 2035, Kyodo’s interlocutors claimed.
The figure provided by the agency is smaller than the prediction made by the Pentagon in the fall, when it said that it expects Beijing to have 1,500 nuclear warheads by 2035.
In any case, China will still be far behind Russia and the US, which boast 5,977 and 5,428 citizens, respectively, according to estimates by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
Tensions between Beijing and Washington have been mounting in recent months over the self-governed island of Taiwan, which is claimed by China as part of its territory. The US, which sells weapons to Taipei and supports its push for independence, has promised to defend the island if the Chinese government decides to retake it by force.
In late January, the head of US Air Mobility Command, General Mike Minihan, warned his subordinates in a memo that the conflict between Washington and Beijing over Taiwan could break out as early as 2025.

Power of Türkiye-Syria quakes measured in nuclear bombs
The death toll from the disaster is approaching 24,500, according to Turkish and Syrian data
The power of this week’s Türkiye-Syria earthquakes wasequivalent to 500 atomic explosions, the risk reduction general manager at the Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) has said.
The first quake on Mondaylasted 65 seconds, while the second went on for 45 seconds, Tatar told journalists on Saturday.
“The energy freed by the two earthquakes equaled the energy of 500 nuclear bombs,”Orhan Tatar said.
The tremors were followed bymore than 2,000 aftershocksthroughout the week, which are still continuing, Tatar added.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip said on Saturday that the death toll from the quakes had reached 21,043 people, with more than 80,000 others wounded.
With 3,553 deaths reported in neighboring Syria, the overall number of fatalities in the two countries has reached 24,596.
“This earthquake, which is described as the disaster of the century, caused destruction in a 500-kilometer area, but was felt in an area of almost a thousand kilometers,” Erdogan said during a visit to the devastated city of Diyarbakir.
The Turkish leader pledged that survivors who lost their homes “won’t be left in the streets and in poverty,” and that hundreds of thousands of apartment blocks will be rebuilt and reinforced to withstand earthquakes in the future.
He also announced a decision to switch all of universities in Türkiye to remote learning, with their dormitories to be used as temporary housing for those made homeless by the tragedy.
According to the president, some 160,000 rescuers – both Turkish and from other countries, including Russia – have been taking part in relief efforts in the country's ten south-eastern provinces.
Also on Saturday, eight people were detained in Türkiye’s Sanliurfa Province over alleged construction irregularities that led to buildings collapsing during the quakes, according to the Yeni Safak newspaper.
On Friday, local media reported the arrest of the contractor of the Renaissance Residence apartment complex in Hatay Province, which was completely flattened by the tremors. The suspect was stopped at an airport in Istanbul, and wasreportedly carrying a large sum of cash.
The magnitude of the two earthquakes has been put at 7.7 and 7.6, respectively. Fitch credit rating agency earlier estimated the damage suffered by Turkey from the disaster at around $4 billion.

(Has Bidan called Erdogan with condolences or concern or to offer assistance? Did the US do this as a warning to Erdogan? Seems pretty strange. Erdogan was considering leaving NATO two weeks ago. It’s like Nord Stream terrorism if true.)

US defense official flags 'no objections' to Kiev attacking Crimea
Washington will not limit Ukrainian strikes on territory it claims as its own, Celeste Wallander said
The US would have no objections to Ukrainian forces striking targets inside Crimea with American-supplied weapons, a senior defense official said on Friday.
Dr Celeste Wallander, Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs, was asked whether Washington supports Kiev in seizing Crimea, or at least in striking Russian targets there. The peninsula overwhelmingly voted to become part of Russia in 2014 following a Western-backed coup in Kiev.
Speaking at the Center for a New American Security, Wallander reiterated that the US “supports Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty over its internationally recognized borders, and that includes Crimea.” With this in mind, the official argued that Kiev “has the right to defend every inch of its territory.”
As long as Ukraine “identifies operational value in targeting Russian forces on Ukrainian territory… we don’t have objections and do not seek to limit Ukrainian military operations to achieve their objectives.”
She also commented on remarks made by Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley, who warned in January that it would be “very difficult” for Ukraine “to militarily eject the Russian forces” from all the territories they currently control.
“I am not going to contradict general Milley, and I think he was giving a hard-headed assessment of the scale of the challenge,” she said.
In January, The New York Times reported, citing sources, that the administration of US President Joe Biden was warming to the prospect of helping Ukraine to target Crimea, “even if such a move increases the risk of escalation.”
On February 3, the US announced a new $2.17 billion security package for Ukraine which included ground-launched, small-diameter bombs (GLSDB) with a range of up to 150 kilometers (93 miles). While the Pentagon said that this long-range capability would enable Ukrainians “to take back their sovereign territory,” it declined to speculate about Kiev's future potential operations.
Last week, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who now serves as Deputy Chair of the nation’s Security Council, warned that any attack on Crimea would be interpreted as an attack on the country itself. Kiev, he said, must understand that such moves would be “met with inevitable retaliation using weapons of any kind.”

This is so obviously fake, we know they don’t care, now they are probably sending objects up to shoot down, to desensitize anyone from caring anymore. Just another day!
