“Sergey #Lavrov showed up to #Alaska in a sweatshirt with the Russian initials for #USSR, a sign that #Russia intends to absorb #Ukraine as well as other former #Soviet #republics and recreate itself as a dominant #worldpower.” heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/august-16-...

AI, QC, MM, and how world power is achieved

The current world order is based on Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD). MAD is the fear of total destruction ... between two nuclear powers ... But MAD won’t keep the peace forever. It’s based on technology. And that technology is on the verge of becoming obsolete... the era of MAD will soon come to an end. Britt Gillette

So, after a train of thought that went all over the place after noticing 'Turbo D' on the back of a car while out on my lunchtime walk, I've decided to listen to some albums which have songs featured on Amiga games, starting with World Power by Snap! I'm pretty sure both The Power and Oops Up were featured in Amiga games, right? After that I've got Betty Boo's Boomania cued up (Doin' The Do featured on The Bitmap Brothers' Magic Pockets of course) and after that, Bomb the Bass's excellent Into The Dragon. I don't have to explain that one, do I? If I have time I might put on some Nation 12 too.

“There is a need to give this a more robust & institutional framework to ensure #predictability & #commitment for the long haul,” Stoltenberg said. He added: “I strongly believe it’s important that #allies make decisions fast. And that includes, of course, the #UnitedStates.”

Under a prop being discussed at the #military #alliance’s HQ, #NATO would oversee the #Ukraine #Defense Contact Grp, currently led by the #UnitedStates, that coordinates the donation & delivery of weapons to the battlefield.…

#UnitedStates is losing status as a #leader & #WorldPower due to #Trump & #Republicans

With continued American #aid to #Ukraine stalled & against the looming prospect of a 2nd Trump presidency, #NATO ofcls are looking to take more #control of directing #military support from Ukraine’s allies — a role that the #US has played for the past 2 yrs.

Central to the #crisis is the “Trumpist infection,” observed Spanish daily El Pais, which lamented the former president’s “rehabilitation” after the #Jan6, 2021, assault on the Capitol, as well as the worrying implications of dozens of #Republican lawmakers openly or tacitly endorsing #Trump’s well-documented attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

“What’s at stake is more than the fate of a man finally devoured by the tiger he thought he could outrun,” the editorial read. “It’s about the institutional functioning of the world’s leading power. …The field of ruins that the House of Representatives has become can only worry #America’s allies & delight its adversaries.”

…as noted by an editorial in leading French newspaper Le Monde, the #House’s disarray reflects the bigger issue of a #legislature where #gerrymandering & low voter participation in primaries has yielded a cadre of lawmakers who view #compromise as “anathema,” especially among the #GOP.

They see an #American #PoliticalSystem lurching down the path of #dysfunction & a #legislature increasingly dominated by #politicians uninterested in actual #governance or #democratic deliberation. And they see the asymmetry of what’s in motion — where the #Republican Party, beholden to fmr president #Trump & a #FarRight Trumpist base, is the principal vehicle for the #destabilizing forces coursing through the American body politic.

With the chamber in paralysis, a new battle over #funding the govt looms next month, while boosters of #Ukraine’s war effort fear #DC lawmakers may be unable to authorize crucial new installments of #military #aid.

But the concerns harbored by onlookers abroad go far deeper.

For a #worldpower, #China's #CCP rulers are incredibly thin-skinned and #childish. The latest #nationalism-fueled fracas regarding #Leica is just another example for this kind of small-minded foolery. And for boundless #censorship behind the #GreatFireWall. Poor Chinese, they deserve mature leaders. And #civicrights. And free access to #information.
