Well, the alternative to blaming it on an interview is to admit that system is insecure. Admitting that kills the company right off the bat

You can fake logs.

I wouldn't buy that either. Evidence can be faked and North Korea is a convenient actor to blame, that's all.

that's an excellent idea.

the problem isn't the unsecure elections, it's that same shit will go on regardless of who is 'elected'.

I'd like to see a system that allow us to vote on issues directly.

Money for war? War with Iran? Support Israel? etc.

Can we already have mind reading devices please. I can't wait for them to see what people really think!

Makes me think of all who hope to return to life from cryonics one day :)

You are broke, with no prospects and last hundred bucks in your account.

You show up at a macdonalds, hungry.

The AI reads you and decides - nothing to be had from this hungry guy in the future and prices your last burger at 100.

Excellent future.

Here is a strange idea: the sides should negotiate!

Russia wants a non-NATO buffer zone around its western periphery. None of those countries want to be 'unaligned' no-man's-lands.

There is nothing to negotiate.

Peripheral countries are demilitarized but maintain Article V status, Putin is exiled to Saint Helena and required to spend the remainder of his life lecturing Tucker Carlson on Russian history.

Russian war with Europe would be ‘very short’ – Lavrov

https://www.rt.com/news/645860-lavrov-eu-nato-putin/

As would the special military operation. Three days short, it was promised.

Well, then may be you should volunteer.

That was promised by US General Miley, not by any Russian official or citizen.

So we have in this nugget an example of why you shouldn't trust western media, but not an example of why the west wont fold like a cheap deck.

Some people said two days, some said ten days. Russian officials thought they would get a short war, and they were wrong. Wikipedia will point you to a bunch of references.

A Russian war with Europe would not be the short war that the original poster alludes to by invoking statements from a Russian official.

Oh it was Milley who sent the Russian column of armor toward Kyiv with no logistical support. Thank you for clearing that up.

Indeed, Europe would roll over russia really quickly.

> “We’ve said repeatedly that we have no intention of attacking Europe. Russian President Vladimir Putin recently addressed this issue in detail, emphasizing that we have no interest in doing so,” he said.

Where have I heard this before?

Read between the lines. He's saying "Mess with us, we'll nuke you." They mean it. Putin is desperate enough to do it. Anyone responding to this with Euro-bravado is an idiot. Some of y'all didn't grow up during the cold war and your blind spot is showing. No one wins in a nuclear war.

So what do you think the rational response to the nukebullies should be? Give him all he wants? How are reasonable deterrence preparations "Bravado"?

Deterrence is exactly what we should be doing. Many responses here were some variation of "he'd never try" or "let him try, we'd win". That's not deterrence - that's ignorance and provocation, respectively.

They never mean it, it's a threatening tactics. Their children live in western countries and their money is there. They wouldn't allow nuking western countries just like that. ESPECIALLY if they know they attacked first. Even their own doctrine doesn't allow using nukes for anything except the direct external threat to their statehood.

Russia has been making that sort of threat roughly weekly for a decade or two. It's kind of their thing.

They are unlikely to nuke Europe - there's a lot of it and they only really have a couple of decent cities which could be gone rapidly.
