    Trump is now helping Putin kill Americans. In any other timeline, I’d expect more severe consequences than timid rebukes from pundits.

      Trump is now again helping Putin kill Americans

      After Trump’s classified documents theft in 2021 there was a huge uptick in compromised US intelligence assets.

      https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/05/us/politics/cia-informants-killed-captured.html

      Top American counterintelligence officials warned every C.I.A. station and base around the world last week about troubling numbers of informants recruited from other countries to spy for the United States being captured or killed, people familiar with the matter said.

      I 100% agree with the sentiment. But if this is the same missile strike I read about earlier no Americans died in this attack, they managed to get to safety in time. Just want people to be aware of that fact.

      Do I think this will eventually lead to American deaths and trump having more American blood on his hands yes.

      He fired all the leaders and installed lackeys. A group would have to go rogue, and most in the military are right leaning, and not the reddest apples in the orchard.

    Cool, so not only are news outlets outsourcing most of their work to people on Twitter, now they’re deferring to AI. Let’s hope it doesn’t hallucinate! Not like we don’t already have a problem with fake and inaccurate news…

    From the article:

    Ask Perplexity, an AI answer engine, responded to Krassenstein’s post on X: "Based on the available information, it’s not accurate to directly blame Donald Trump for this specific incident. The missile strike on Kryvyi Rih appears to have occurred, but the connection to Trump’s actions is speculative.

    “While the Trump administration has paused intelligence sharing with Ukraine, this decision was made very recently and its impact on this particular event is unclear. It’s important to note that Russia has been conducting missile strikes throughout the conflict, and attributing any single attack to a change in U.S. policy would be an oversimplification of a complex situation.”

    Wow, world class reporting.

      Ya, I don’t get the point of including an AI response in the “What People Are Saying” section of a news article.

        The “news” site is probably owned by some company that went long on AI and needs to make that bad bet seem smart
