Was once told that a lot of science is basically a matter of building bigger and bigger hammers to break things into smaller and smaller pieces. (For example the Large Hadron Collider - the clue is in the name.) US and Israeli military shamefully applying the same logic.

What I would like are governments that are so keen to act in the interests of their people and the global community that they will listen carefully to criticism rather than ridicule or try to suppress it. Yes, I know I’m a dreamer. But I’m not the only one.

Why Did No One Ask Ukraine How to Destroy Drones? For all of the planning for war in Iran, the world’s most tested anti-drone technology was ignored.

To the surprise of some officials in Kyiv, no one from the U.S. bothered to ask Ukraine to share its expertise in how to defend against drones before starting the offensive in Iran, Simon Shuster and Nancy A. Youssef report.

Wars are extremely hard things to justify. It is intrinsic to what they are that they tend to death, destruction, and misery. Given this and some knowledge of history, one's default attitude towards powerful people purporting to do the world some great benefit by war should be extreme scepticism.

Ļoti novērtētu iespēju sestdien vai svētdien uz kādu stundu divām palietot metāla zāģīti, skrūvspīles (vajadzēs plastmasu zāģēt, nevis metālu) un lodāmuru. Vai kāds man še var palīdzēt?
