Think about this, over a decade ago Target was able to correctly predict a teenage girl was pregnant just by correlating purchase history. Data collection and the correlation algorithms have gotten much better. Now imagine how much better a nation like China is at collecting and correlating data than a retail chain, how much resources are available to them.
You mean like how Facebook, Google, and pre-Musk Twitter spied on US Citizens, had/have former intelligence agents working in key positions, had intelligence agencies meddling, and censored free speech. All social media is trash and TikTok is the biggest cancer of them. It’s just that they’re angry the Intel agencies don’t have access to the sweet data.
Like how Whinny the Pooh attempted to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine but sleepy creepy Joe stepped in and said no. This is the second peace deal that was shot down by foreign interests who would rather profit from extended conflicts. I’m not for Russia or China, I just want peace.
More like, the global elites stoking the fires of war to increase profitably for the congressmen who hold shares in Northrop Grumman, Boeing, and other defense contractors. Gotta keep perpetual wars going to keep the money rolling.
Seriously, everybody was up in arms wanting to blow up the China balloon. What if China had a drone flying off the coast of California. you’d all want Biden to respond. Shoulden’t the Russians be able to respond in kind?
It’s not the Russians stoking the fires, it’s us and Former British PM, Boris Johnson. The former Israeli PM had an agreeable peace deal on the table but the UK and US interfered because peace deals don’t align with our foreign policy and business goals (i.e. more profits for the war mongers).
I found Anna Karenina to be more engaging and interesting. War and Peace; however, has this effect.
