Honest to god whatever was launched was either a weapon that had little to no explosives or was a dud based on the photos

At this point there is little I trust when it comes to global conflicts. So much BS tactics designed to manipulate the masses and manufacturer consent. I just pray these clowns don't start WW3 in a quest for whatever they are going after.

To me, it is wild how Putin is approaching a Trump Presidency for a few reasons.
  1. The increase in military aid to Ukraine has increased US manufacturing and increased the high-paying jobs required to make the shells/build the rest of the equipment.
  2. Sabor rattling against US armed forces esp those in Poland is wild because Poland is not only part of NATO but they buy so much US equipment I know Trump loves them
  3. Putin has largely ignored Trump and Trump has said he is going to take the bull by the horns with this war. Ignoring Trump will only piss him off and ya know that's just a poor choice as we have seen in the past.

Yeah, not sure how much of this is real though vs. posturing. It is interesting.
Honestly, China is much more of a concern to me but I don't think either side is looking for all out war. My guess is that Trump will talk tough and spend a crazy amount on increased military spending.

I agree 100% with China but I feel like they are still recovering from the huge corruption issue with the missiles being filled with water and not rocket fuel. They purged a lot of higher-ups and so those that are filling their shoes need time to understand what they are supposed to do. China doesn't have any sort of military conflict that battle-hardened their soldiers though which is an interesting thing when you think about it. A lot is learned when you are in a fight and they just do not have that at all so if a real fight breaks out I am not sure how they would respond with the ebb and flow of battle.

Hadn't heard about this. That sounds like sabotage, not corruption.

They arrested the General in charge and charged him with corruption that's why I said it was but yeah no there are other possible explanations!

Interesting. Yeah, that's the propaganda which we know is seldom the truth. It contains truth but much can be misunderstood if we take these things at face value.

AI is increasing information of all types. Noise. Some of it malicious. What's the answer?

We actually need to be more concerned about misinformation. The difference between the two is the intent and if you are relying on AI for your news and it hallucinates that wasn't done with malice it was an accident hence the misinformation label.
