Dear useful idiots, keep pretending that it's Trump who's the real threat.

 

Russia and China waging ‘political war’, says UK military chief

Gen Nick Carter warns ‘more of the same’ will not be enough to meet changing threat to west

Russia and China are using cyber attacks, disinformation campaigns and mass surveillance to wage “political warfare” on the west, with the goal of “breaking its willpower” without ever escalating into formal conflict, the head of Britain’s armed forces warned on Wednesday.

Gen Nick Carter, chief of the defence staff, spoke as he unveiled his new strategy for the UK military over the next decade, arguing British troops had to sharpen their stealth capabilities, boost their technological expertise and embrace the use of “smaller, faster” autonomous planes and vehicles if they were to meet the new threat.

“More of the same will not be enough,” Sir Nick told an audience at the Policy Exchange think-tank on Wednesday. “We must fundamentally change our thinking if we are not to be overwhelmed.”

Pointing to Moscow’s cyber attacks on Ukraine’s banks and energy companies in 2017 and Beijing’s military focus on destabilising satellites, the UK’s armed forces chief said that while none of Britain’s rivals could afford to go to war, they were gaining expertise in operations that occur just below the threshold for conflict.

The US has also accused China and Russia of seeking to hack into western pharmaceutical companies and medical research bodies in search of intelligence about a Covid-19 vaccine.

“[Our enemies’] goal is to win without going to war: to achieve their objectives by breaking our willpower, using attacks below the threshold that would prompt a war-fighting response,” Sir Nick said. “These attacks on our way of life from authoritarian rivals and extremist ideologies are remarkably difficult to defeat without undermining the very freedoms we want to protect.”

His comments come as Downing Street is preparing an integrated review of defence and security, which is due to be published in late November. While ministers deny the defence strategy is a cost-cutting exercise, they acknowledge that boosting the military’s capabilities in drone warfare, artificial intelligence and cyber strategy may mean some reduction in traditional hardware such as tanks and warships.

“Some industrial-age capabilities will increasingly have to meet their sunset to create the space for capabilities needed for sunrise,” Sir Nick admitted on Wednesday. “The trick is how you find a path through the night.”

He did not give any examples of what would be cut in order to fund new technology, but a new strategy document accompanying the speech hinted that the UK’s aircraft carriers would be difficult to protect in the long term.

“Expensive, crewed platforms that we cannot replace and can ill-afford to lose will be increasingly vulnerable to swarms of self-coordinating smart munitions — perhaps arriving at hypersonic speeds or ballistically from space — designed to swamp defences already weakened by pre-emptive cyber attack,” the strategy reads.

Gen Mark Carleton-Smith, head of the UK’s army, has already announced that the future of the army will be a combined force of “boots and bots”, in which troops and robots advance together to the battlefield supported by “swarms of drones” which identify artillery targets.

The first generation of robotic vehicles would be delivered to paratroopers this month, Sir Mark told reporters this week.

THE LEFT’S BIGGEST CONSPIRACY YET:

 

Thanks to the Capital Research Center (CRC), there is now a Trump-Russia Collusion Hoax Archive.

 

Here’s how CRC describes it:

 

“While the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory was exposed as a hoax, a different sort of collusion was real. Sometimes wittingly, but often just witlessly, hundreds of figures in the media, politics, federal law enforcement, and federal intelligence promoted and amplified the conspiracy theories created by the Steele dossier and other sources.

 

“Today, we began posting the ‘bios’ of more than 200 figures involved in the hoax—enough characters for a Russian novel. The first batch is ‘Obama/Comey-Era Officials’ with last names beginning A–C. The rest of the 200+ will follow in the coming days and weeks.

 

This is intended to be an archive of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, which we will continue to update and expand as circumstances dictate.”

 

Thank you, CRC. Russiagate is the hoax that will not be erased.

Ah yes - DR retweeting on multiple channels Russian talking points to justify Putin’s desire to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine.

 

But c’mon DR we all know the biggest fascist sits in Moscow, who has financed fascists globally including Mar-a-Lago and Billsfans.com.

Have we checked Trump’s back? There just might be a string there.  Pull the string and out comes one of his greatest hit tales.  Or maybe it is 4D chess?  I mean, why answer new questions when you have ready to go replies...just to ‘alternative’ questions?

Oh, did that happen to you?  Well if anyone should be able to muster forgiveness for you it would be the Pope. Going forward, don’t let it affect your confidence or your ability to pass gas.

Whatever you say comrade bob. Keep spewing the misinformation from your leader’s propaganda machine.

Thanks for the chuckle!  All that from a smart remark about Trumps wandering stories?  

No, from your posting history of being a partisan hack. Think for yourself for a change. Give it a try, it’s not so difficult.

Without saying anything about Biden, is there any possible way for you to listen to Trump's reply and claim he's of sound mind?

Admit it. If Biden or (Pick your Dem) spoke those words in response to that question, you'd be saying they should be in a mental institution.

Bet you can't answer my question. You can only ignore or wander off topic, much like your cult leader.

Trump could meander on and on about faeries and unicorns and it still wouldn't hold a candle to the pee tape, Alpha bank, Michael Cohen in Prague fake dossier bull#### that many here STILL believe to be real.

 

We need a phrase for these folks that goes beyond useful idiots.

Trump says stupid crap all the time. Our economy and our country were a helluva lot better before the plandemic.

 

Biden suffers from dementia. You can’t or won’t ever admit that. Both sides are terrible in my opinion. I criticize the  left and the right as I see fit. It’s just that the left have taken a sharp turn towards socialism which I want no part of.

Now, can you criticize the left? Do you condemn shutting down and eliminating differing opinions? Can you honestly admit the country is worse off now then it was two years ago?

I’m sure you’re right. The innocent Ukrainian people like it a lot better now that we have a president that calls Putin bad names. Please remind them of that when they return from exile to the crater that was once their apartment building!

Democrats always made the mistake of taking him literally 

 

Republicans always took him seriously 

 

 

Either way he ended up almost always right about everything.  Except listening to Fauci but we'll never know what happened.

 

No one is interested because Russia.  Conveniently.

Donald talking on a podcast about the Ukraine situation a few days ago. Someone explain how anyone takes this guy seriously. Is he stupid, senile, or both?

 

 

 

Joey is both of those and incompetent.  That's why we are where we are right now.

So an analysis of the Ukraine situation pertains to windmills? How so.

I had a feeling no one would be able to stay on topic, so thanks for that, at least.

Another one who couldn't answer. Can't say I blame you. There's no explanation or defense available as an answer. So, ramble on.

So, we can agree that Trump's mind isn't functionally correctly and that he should never be President, again, right?

If that's your stance, I'm happy to talk about Biden with you.

Trump tried to get dirt on Biden's kid and then when he didn't get it, he didn't want to send the hardware that everyone said he should, Ukraine would be putting up a much more destructive fight, but he loves Putin, so that wasn't going to happen..

Current energy cost correlating to the push for green energy.  Next question.  


If you watched that interview and that's sincerely your take on it, I feel sorry for you about your lack of intellect. I'm hoping, for your sake, that you're lying.

Hey, how do you think the Bills will do next season?

Oh, I suppose I prefer fruits to vegetables.

That's your thought process.

You've had enough time to answer my original question, but can't. At least you're smarter than Chef Jim who tried to answer with nonsense.

:lol:

 

It's friggin out there in plain sight, well when it's not being censored that is.

 

 

 


Now you're calling Trump an idiot. If it was all out for public consumption, why was Trump asking Ukraine for it?
