crazybonkersai··on Nobel Peace Prize 2025: María Corina Machado
He surely started Libyan War by bombing the hell out the government forces and creating power vacuum. The war is still ravaging the country to this day
crazybonkersai··on American democracy might not survive another year – is Europe ready for that?
Do you have any proof for that except the usual drivel of European politicians of blaming Putin for any domestic problems? The rise of the "brown wave" is natural considering politicians in power have been constantly ignoring domestic problems in favour of pursuing geopolitical agenda. If you want to see a concrete example of election interference, look no further at recent elections in Moldova, Romania or Georgia and lengths EU has gone in keeping pro Russian politicians to get elected.
crazybonkersai··on What Can We Do with Corner-Shape CSS?
That's a very cool addition. I like it very much.
crazybonkersai··on A new theory of China's rise: rule by engineers
The thing is that you almost need strong authoritarian control to transition society from agrarian to industrial state. You don't achieve that with globalization and open markets, but instead you nurture and develop your industry (which of course developed democratic countries find uncompetitive and undemocratic). Once you get your industry going, you can start opening up both markets and society.
crazybonkersai··on Bank of Thailand freezes 3M accounts, sets daily transfer limits to curb fraud
I once wired som money to an acquaintance in Ethiopia using Western Union. The clerk made sure several times that I knew that I was doing and he was really surprised when learned that I actually personally knew the guy I was transferring money to.
crazybonkersai··on North Korea executing more people for watching foreign films and TV, UN finds
The most plausible explanation that those people who escaped NK were sentenced for something else and use excuse of watching foreign films to look good to Western researchers. I believe that media landscape is restricted in NK, but getting a death sentence for a watching movie? No way it is possible.
crazybonkersai··on Poland shoots down drones in its airspace during Russian attack on Ukraine
If NATO wanted to confront Russia directly, they would have done it already. The truth is that NATO has no desire to go to war with Russia directly, a proxy war in Ukraine is the most NATO is prepared to do.

Triggering article 5 would do nothing and only show everyone how toothless it is. Besides article 5 does nothing else than calling members to discuss the matter and further plans.

crazybonkersai··on Weaponizing Ads: How Google and Facebook Ads Are Used to Wage Propaganda Wars
The thing is that Google already is doing exactly that. Login to adsense and behold the following message: Due to the war in Ukraine, we will pause monetization of content that exploits, dismisses, or condones the war.

This has been in place for as long the war has been going on.

crazybonkersai··on Wikipedia survives while the rest of the internet breaks
Funny that you mention Russia, considering the bulk of Russian Wikipedia articles are written by Ukrainians. You can imagine how "objective" is that.

crazybonkersai··on An urgent appeal from the Meduza team
Ah Meduza, a Latvia based, a western propaganda outlet, thinly disguised as a Russian free media. The reason they ran out of money now is most likely Trump's recent decision to cut USAID spending which has already affected countless similar "free media" outlets.
