Nuclear Proliferation

Published by

on

As I’ve been saying since February 24, 2022.

This is the result of shredding the Budapest Memorandum. There couldn’t have possibly been any other result.

Ukraine had nukes. Ukraine gave up its nukes under the promise that if its aggressive neighbor with nukes invaded, its territorial integrity would be protected. The aggressive neighbor invaded. Ukraine was told, sorry, you have to sacrifice your territorial integrity because we are afraid of your neighbor who has nukes.

What conclusion could everybody observing this possibly draw other than get your own nukes?

Actions, meet consequences.

          “SVO vibes”….

          Is this true? If so…. we are sooooo screwed…..

          The US sits on its ass for four years doesn’t deliver promised aid, slow walks what it does deliver, rejects Ukrainian offers to train US soldiers in drone warfare…..

          And this…. not just trying a “reset” the US is actively copying…. russia?

    Reminder that there are more american jews serving in the IDF than in the american armed forces. The host-parasite analogy remains unbeaten.

      Are we going to join the club that pretends the reasons why Gonzalez and Kushner have different life paths aren’t completely biological? Sorry, I have enough of that kind of thing at work. I don’t need it here.

      The IDF meme is a fake. Just like the idea that Leroy could be a Lutnick if it weren’t for a racist conspiracy to keep him down.

        The IDF meme is a fake. 

        lol no.

        Estimated numbers American Jews in the U.S. armed forces

        • Jewish personnel make up roughly 0.4–1% of active-duty U.S. military.
        • With about 1.3 million active-duty troops, that equals roughly:

        ≈ 5,000 – 13,000 Jewish service members
        (including both officers and enlisted).

        Some Jewish military organizations cite around 15,000 Jewish personnel including reserves, which is in the same range.

        American citizens (mostly Jewish) serving in the IDF

        Estimates vary more widely:

        • Around 23,000 U.S. citizens serving in the Israeli military according to reporting citing the Washington Post.
        • Many are dual citizens or immigrants who moved to Israel, not Americans temporarily joining.

        A smaller subset are “lone soldiers” (foreign volunteers without family in Israel), including many Americans.

        Rough comparison (most commonly cited estimates) CategoryEstimated numberAmerican Jews in U.S. Armed Forces~5,000–15,000U.S. citizens serving in the IDF~23,000

          Dude. It’s AI. It tells you exactly what you want to hear. Mine says the exact opposite:

          No — that claim is generally not supported by reliable data. Most credible estimates indicate that more American Jews serve in the U.S. military than in the Israeli military (IDF), though exact numbers are hard to measure.
          Here’s why the claim circulates and what the evidence says.
          1) Estimates for Jewish Americans in the U.S. military
          Estimates commonly cited by Jewish organizations and studies suggest around 10,000–15,000 Jewish Americans are on active duty in the U.S. armed forces today. �
          ynetglobal +1
          Jewish Americans have served in large numbers historically across all branches.
          2) Estimates for Americans (including many American Jews) in the IDF
          The IDF does not publish exact numbers by religion or nationality, and many soldiers are dual U.S.–Israeli citizens.
          Studies suggest roughly 1,200 Americans serve in the IDF at any given time (for example as “lone soldiers” or dual citizens on active duty). �
          The Washington Post
          Some articles claim much higher totals (e.g., tens of thousands), but those figures often count all dual-citizen Israelis who have U.S. citizenship or include reservists, not only American Jews or current active-duty volunteers, so they’re not comparable. �
          The Washington Post
          3) Why the misconception appears
          Some commentators compare:
          All American citizens or dual citizens in the IDF (including Israeli-born people with U.S. passports)
          vs.
          Only Jewish personnel in the U.S. military
          which is not an apples-to-apples comparison.
          Others rely on older or opinion-driven sources or estimates without consistent definitions.
          ✅ Bottom line:
          The best-supported comparisons indicate more American Jews serve in the U.S. military than in the IDF.

                Cope harder.

                Over 20,000 American citizens are currently defending Israel from Hamas terrorists, risking their lives for the betterment of our ally,” said Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA), in a recent statement. “

                Have people noticed that AI ends every answer with a followup question? “Do you want me to tell you more about…?” It’s programmed to maximize engagement. It studies you from your queries and taylors responses to keep you there longer. How do you keep people wanting to hang out with you? Tell them what they want to hear. It’s the most basic law of human engagement. AI mimics that. It’s not a search engine. It’s an LLM. Its area of expertise is not data. It’s language. It gives you the words that its algorithm predicts will please you. We are all screwed from here to the moon if we don’t figure out fast that AI is like a very needy friend who will do her damndest to be pleasing and accommodating.

            In what might sound like something out of Louis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, or for the more modern twist, Seinfeld’s Bizarro World, two Republican congressmen have introduced legislation that would extend the same employment protections to Americans serving in the Israeli army as Americans who leave work and home to serve the U.S. military.

            In other words, no different than U.S. National Guardsman or Reservists, they are just fighting for another country.

            “Over 20,000 American citizens are currently defending Israel from Hamas terrorists, risking their lives for the betterment of our ally,” said Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA), in a recent statement. “This legislation will ensure we do everything possible to support these heroes who are standing with Israel, fighting for freedom, and combating terrorism in the Middle East.”

            You lost this argument. Try again.

          “Many are dual citizens or immigrants who moved to Israel, not Americans temporarily joining.”

          Even SB’s AI told him that.

          Clarissa, you and SB also ignore two important factors:

          1. Unlike US, Israel has a draft. Everybody (who is not Arab) must serve, regardless of one’s desires, IQ or another citizenship.
          2. There are great national differences among countries. Serving in Russian armed forces even before 2014 was differently perceived by Russians than the way serving in American ones is seen by Americans, and both are vastly different from serving in IDF. The purposes of those armed forces are different as are the histories and the present for those countries.

          In Russia, it’s a sign of low status to serve. In Israel, evading draft is a shame and a sign of putting oneself outside society.

          No wars had been fought on American soil after 1865, and American soldiers fight and die to protect American hegemony. AI told me US is responsible for “nearly 40% of global defense spending”. It’s obviously not doing that ‘for freedom’ or to please Israel, even if you disagree with how it chooses to use this power or see some wars as harmful for America.

          Jews in Israel have been fighting wars on our soil since before Israel’s establishment as a state. We literally protect our lives and the existence of our state.

            In SA, the WW2 army army was largely middle class. The apartheid military was generally low class. It was a key point that the white anti apartheid movement was unwilling to attempt to seize power by force, something I suspect the subsequent government still relies on.

        I see you chose to leave out McAllister and Murphy. They must also be biological inferior to the superhuman jews, I guess.

        Like I said, the parasite analogy remains undefeated.

          Is the suggestion here that Murphy and McAllister are names of white people? Because Eddie Murphy might want a word. 😆😆😆

          Also, the idea that accepting IQ distributions leads to considerations of inferiority is the entire foundation of wokeism. I’m not interested in this framework at all. As I said, I hear it at work all day. Mostly from colleagues with last names like Zimmerman.

              I answered it in my comment above.

              Without draft and constant real danger, mainly lower IQ or poorer people would join IDF too.

    The complaint, filed with the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, is one of more than 110 logged within 48 hours from over 40 units across at least 30 installations. Complainants, including Christians, a Muslim, and a Jew, have requested anonymity to avoid retaliation. The Pentagon has yet to respond.
