They can't deal full stop. Putin is a terrorist. He's a KGB mafioso. He never keeps his word unless it suits him. He will only stop his imperalist war when Russia breaks. Russia must be broken, and broken with extreme prejudice. Trump is a delusional Russian asset. He's only in it for the corruption

Any safety critical system is supposed to be "fail safe" - that doesn't mean "will never fail", it means fall back to a workable SAFE reduced function, including safe dysfunction. Safety is paramount.

Not "reportedly". There were plenty of videos of Chinese EVs catching fire, with people trying to break them free - sadly, to no avail. AFAIK, Telsa has a mechanical door release, but not obvious to access. Other brands; who knows.

They should NEVER have been designed with only electric action.

Americans didn't need the Epstein files to know who and what Trump and his acolytes were, are, and will always be. It was obvious to anyone with more than one brain cell.

What are you going to do about it now that he's systematically everything that you thought was "protected"?

The GOP doesn't care about what "should" happen; it only cares about how much it can get away with. The rest is mere theatre.

Ignorance is no defence under the law. And the MAGA lot are staggeringly ignorant - they think it's a quality worthy of wearing with pride.

Have you seen what the Russians do to troops who refuse meat assaults? It's gross. These people are medieval.

Ukraine is stockpiling the flamingos while they revise and improve the guidance software and terrain mapping and closer terrain hugging to the Tomahawk. The unit cost is 10x the small propeller drones they hit refineries with, so they need to evade Russian air defenses. Tomahawk flies low <50 m.

There is no way the kill ratio is as low as ~30%. It may have been in that range in year 1, but by year 3 it was around 45%; but over year 4 it climbed up to well over 60%. Drones strikes account for 85% of Russian casualties. The Russian KIA count would be minimum of 500K, & could be up to 700K

" Fico says Slovakia is losing “an incredible source of diplomatic & foreign policy experience.” "

Incredible in the literal sense - i.e. not credible at all.

I can't wait to see it. Popcorn time... Dopey Trump and his band of MAGA zealots still think Putin is "winning".

The Ukrainians have lived through this before. They know this war will end in the same place it began - Russia; and it will end like all the other Russian failures. Disaster for Russia.

If it's written well, it's more readable than pretty much any assembler. There's no need to write bad code. Good programmers even write disposable code properly, because habits develop from the things you routinely repeat.

The world should welcome the Ayatollah getting his just desserts, as long as his regime falls with him. OTOH, no-one should laud war criminal Netanyahu nor the Pedo In Chief for any action they take. They're only acting in their own interests, and both are corrupt to their eyeballs.

And it only took about 46 or so years of consistent terrorism...

Trump is a Russian asset, and a liability to the USA and all its allies. The USA has "potted the black" by re-electing this disaster.

Meanwhile, Trump has posted a photo of himself with "Daddy" Putin in Alaska in pride of place in the Whitehouse with another family photo of Trump with his granddaughter. It's pathetic that this man has so much power but so little connection to reality beyond reality TV.

Facepalm! You've just worked this out??? Glacial.

Time to take out some more pipelines...

No need to confirm Witkoff or Kushner. They're not representing the USA. They're masquerading as representatives of the USA, but acting for private interests of the Trump Organization and its allies.

The Russian front is stuck. Poorly provisioned & trained troops in futile assaults under deadly drone swarms. Freezing, starving, & diseased - AIDS is rife. A hell like no other. All funded by a choking Russian economy. It's only the deluded US administration buying the Russian bluff now.

Russia should accept defeat in Donbas, just as it has accepted defeat in the Black Sea. Russia cannot sustain the invasion it launched, and Ukraine should strike back hard into Russia - especially in Moscow. Russians need to either turn Putin over to the Hague, or hang him from a pole in Red Square.

Unfortunately, Americans wanted reality TV and more chaos, because "immigrants!!!"
Now it's a swampland of corruption, thuggery, government protected murders and international derision.

True that. Trump confronts evil every time he looks in the mirror.

"Winning"... facepalm...

Wise old maxim: Better five dumb instructions that work, than one clever one that doesn't...

Of course you can... It's just that C has special capabilities for crappy code via all-in-one-line relying on order of precedence. No-one who ever worked for me would want to do it though...they'd have to explain themselves in great detail to feigned confusion...

"edging" being the operative word - as in pushing the boundaries of his credibility - if he was hedging them he'd be also placing a bet on Europe and Ukraine. He's all in on Putin.

the PLA, this will cause consternation, as rivals climbing the ranks may not trust each other. From the top, Xi has retained and consolidated his power, but now sees conspiracy in places he didn't suspect. His economic problems mount. He's primed for poor choices. Then there's the toddler in chief.

Xi has little or no military experience. The fallout from this is highly unlikely to strengthen the PLA. Normally in such situations, the party keeps everything under wraps until they hone the propaganda message. This is too high profile. A release came out quickly via official channels. Within ...

families are reportedly either detained too, or under house arrest (more likely). This will have wide impact through the PLA. Many senior officers and staff have been forced to surrender their mobile phones as Xi's security goons find where all the tentacles lead. Zhang was respected in the PLA. ...

and passed details back to Xi. Xi's security lay in wait. There was a gunfight, and the coup failed - apparently there were casualties all round. This won't be reported. At that point Gen Zhang and Liu Zhenli, chief of staff of the CMC's Joint Staff Department were arrested and detained. Their ...
