honestly the US military airforce has crazy technology, this meme was an attempt to hint at the extreme contrast: competence of the airforce vs. the awkward/un-normal actions of their commander in chief.

Occupy or liberate? I would say liberate, right?

Compared to drive with the train on rail without unloading/stopping? Mode change is expensive. So ideally once Iran is liberated the train would just drive from Central Asia to Turkey through Iran without stopping.

The Trans Iranian Railways are already built, but not in use to transport goods from central asia to turkey as far as I understand.

yeah but to avoid Russia & Iran you need to cross the Caspian sea by boat, which is not optimal for costs and profit-margins I assume. Train needs to be unloaded, containers wait in port (Turkmenistan or Kazakhstan I assume) until ship is loaded …

Isnt most of the oil refined from oil sands in Canada? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_sands#Canada

I guess many of the Americans troops are stationed in North-Eastern Syria, where Turkey is going to “protect its interests”, once the American bases are gone …

I call it Sauron3 …

AI is the perfect tool to generate propaganda and fake-news on a massive scale for government and secret services. Humans may live in bubbles divorced from reality because of it. It also is the perfect technology for censorship, sentiment analysis/monitoring and thought-control automation.

Myanmar borders China in to its north and India to its west and is currently in a civil war. This would be the perfect battlespace for a proxy war between India, US vs China.

Demographics will play a major role in this: Younger median age countries will have more war and conflict, while the older countries can maintain some semblance of stability. South Sudan is a great example of this mechanism: This is why I also think this war will last 30 years, like the 30 years war in Germany 1618 that killed 50%+ of its populaiton.

During the first cold war conflicts happened outside of the super-powers:

• Vietnam 🇻🇳 and North-Korea 🇰🇵💥🇰🇷

This time conflicts will happen in Siberia, Africa and Middle east. I also think Indonesia and Pakistan will be center of major conflicts between China, India and the USA. These conflicts will costs some millions of lives, but not touch the empires heartlands, so it will not get nuclear again imo.

is this a reference to an AI fail I have missed?

good point, organic sharing is better than the addictive algorithm.

You can imagine different dystopian scenarios:

• Elon builds a colony on mars. Once one million people get there, it starves to death by technical accidents and is left to its fate.
• Chinese hyper empire emerges, from Tibetan Plateu and conquers a weakened Russia. Trump is okay with it, since he is focused on “domestic issues” like removing gay rights. Later China buys Trumps advisors.
• Trump conquest of Greenland, Canada and the arctic create a new American Hyper-Empire that expands into the weakened Russian heartland and Europe.

Or to keep the status quo:

• Europe conquers Russia, and shows Trump and Xi their place.

what would be a better name?

• lemming
• lemorian?

lemmy is okay
