Opinion: AI complacency is compromising Western defense

While #Russian, #Chinese, and #Iranian drones are easy to destroy using existing Western systems, the costs are prohibitive – ranging from $100,000 to $3 million per target. This unsustainable ratio is the result of decades of complacency and bureaucratic inefficiency.

No legacy Western contractor produces a cost-competitive anti-drone system – though several U.S. and Ukrainian startups are developing them now.

Kremlin in disbelief at US ‘insult’ of late Iranian president

#Kremlin in #disbelief at #US#insult ’ of #late #Iranian #president #Iran #Blinken

"Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has expressed disbelief at comments by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, following the #death of former Iranian president #Ebrahim #Raisi in a helicopter crash.

The top US diplomat claimed the Iranian people are “better off” without Raisi, during a grilling by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee over his department's reaction to the deadly accident on Sunday."

#Iran's president #Raisi has died in a #helicoptercrash
He will not be missed, he was a butcher. They are celebrating in #Tehran with fireworks
#Turkey found the wreckage with a drone
But:
1. It didn't go straight to the crash site. It flew over Amand rocket site, Khoi and Tabriz airports, and an #Iranian army base. No valid reason. Just intel
2. It drew the star and crescent of the #Turkish flag with its flight path 🤣
Hilarious pettiness!
Turkey: 👏👏👏
Rot in hell Raisi

Today's harvest of fresh dill from the balcony garden.

This is probably the 10th harvest I had and I'm going to use it to cook northern Iranian Baghala Ghatogh (chicken eggs and beans with dill stew).

Recipe for those interested can be found here:
https://www.thejc.com/lets-eat/recipe/recipe-baghala-ghatogh-broad-beans-with-dill-and-eggs-hznsp3ql

Some people have bastardized it and using fawa beans instead, but I use the large white beans, soak them in water and peel them before cook them in oil for a few minutes before adding to t to the stew.

PS. I love the smell of fresh dill, it reminds me of my childhood and my mother's hands that smelled like fresh vegetables all the time.

I don't like to share from media discussions, but this is just priceless, the Israeli woman claims that majority of Iranians support Reza Pahlavi (son of Iran's former dictator) and also support Israel bombing their country.

These are the same people who convinced the world that Americans wouldb be greeted with flowers and celebrated as liberators. And it ends up giving us #ISIS and millions of deaths.

Trust them. They know what #Iranian people think and want. They have some #Twitter polls to prove their claims.

Made celery stew with chicken breast instead of beef.

As I'm trying to cut back on red meet consumption, trying to make old Iranian dishes with chicken instead of beef.

1kg chicken breast diced to 2cm cubes
1kg yellow onion, slow cooked with turmeric, black peppers salt and paprika. Then added the chicken and some salt and more peppers, after 20 minutes, added 1,5L of water to it and l slow cooked it while chopping the vegetables.

One bunch of celery, cut in small pieces, 1 bunch of parsley, finely chopped,, 2/3rd of a can of spinach, a few branches of cilantro and garlic shoots. With 2 dried line crushed and the seeds removed. 1 table spoon of tomato concentrate, well mixed with the juice of the stew.

Slow cooked over an hour and then served over basmati rice. I have about 8 or 9 more meals to freeze.

I think I used a bit too much celery. But that is ok. I love the taste.

Mix of meat, 2 table spoon of concentrated tomatoes, one whole tomato from the balcony and the split peas to slow cook.

I don't have any diced potatoes and don't feel like going out to buy them. It's good for now, tomorrow I have to go to the store to buy spinach (mine is not growing fast enough to provide with my needs).

This is going to be 5 containers, 2-3 dishes each.
Same with celery soup and it's going to be enough storage food until the mid March with other food I have in the freezer

Trying my news and current events depression with cooking lots of food.

Cut the meat I bought earlier and lots and lots of onions, cooked them together to build the base for most Iranian dishes and froze some.

Russia's war in Ukraine has been knocking on your door, too

Talking about Russia's war against Ukraine, we are not talking about a war between two states. It's is a war between two systems

Two years on, we know if Russia succeeds, we will find ourselves in a world that will be dangerous for everyone without exception

Samuel Huntington predicted that new global conflicts would arise between different civilizations.

Thousands of Ukrainian cities are being shelled not only by #Russian missiles but also by #Iranian drones & ballistic missiles in addition to #NorthKorean artillery shells & missiles.

#China is helping Russia circumvent sanctions and import technologies critical to warfare. North Korea sent Russia more than a million artillery shells. Syria votes at the UN General Assembly in support of Russia.

We are dealing with the formation of an entire authoritarian bloc. As much as Russia, Iran, China, Syria, and North Korea are "different civilizations", according to Huntington's views, they pose a crucial common feature.

The existence of the free world always threatens dictatorships with the loss of power. That's because human beings inherently have a desire for freedom.

Therefore, when we talk about Russia's war against Ukraine, we are not talking about a war between two states. This is a war between two systems — authoritarianism and democracy.
