I took a virtual tour of the Lancet Drone Factory. There was also a documentary about the inventor and how he built the factory. It was all very interesting. If I recall, the factory was built in an abandoned mall so all the HVAC and electrical systems were in place as well as plenty of parking.
The p.o.s. F-35 is a prime example of a US boondoggle. We design weapons to line pockets while Russia and China design theirs to win.
Yup - THE elephant in the room is that the US is corrupt to the bone, to put it mildly. or the same reason the US will never, ever get into either hypersonic weaponry nor modern drone technology. Drones are too cheap and generate way too little profits, hypersonics - like long range cruise missiles - risk stealing the show from navy aircraft, making the entire carrier fleet based racket go the way of the dinosaur and taking all the immense profits related to Davy Jones' locker with it. There's just too many grifters in positions of power, and they sure as hell do not want to lose their fat paychecks.
Usually grifters actively avoid noticing reality until the ropes and guillotines come out. My grandma used to tell me her memories from WW2, about local blackshirts (the italian fascist militias) who insisted on bullying civilians and "confiscating" things like leather, wool, and tools "for the war effort" (in reality, to be sold on the black market) with the regime already collapsing. Let's just say quite a few of them were very surprised when they got their just desserts.
"United States: Leads in military drone technology with advanced systems like the MQ-9 Reaper (General Atomics) and RQ-4 Global Hawk (Northrop Grumman)".
This looks to me like a fine example of how LLMs fail. What DeepSeek probably established is that most respected sources say that the USA leads and that the Reaper and Global Hawk are best.
What neither DeepSeek nor any LLM can discover is what the real strengths and weaknesses of those machines are. LLMs inhabit the world of words, in which they are big beasts. But they cannot even step into the world of reality.
Good to know these AI bots are just as dumb as the traditional search engines. For political and economic reasons they simply repeat what ever is the consensus. Refusing to swim with the herd is a guarantee to Darwinian survival.
Way I see it, they're a tool. Let's say, a screwdriver. One can use it correctly (as in, building a cupboard), incorrectly (using it to eat your soup) or criminally (to stab someone's eye). They're useless for actual "reasoning" since they don't do any, but invaluable for sorting out data (like: how many editions are there of a certain book in the USA between 1960 and 2000? What is the correct chronological order in which to read Conan the barbarian fiction by Howard only?) and learning to code.
College was supposed to certify social class but it was corrupted by lowering standards. In the early (90's my daughters went to an elementary school the principal was black. I was head of the parent group so i dealt with him often. I worked at skilled construction labor this guy mentioned how he opinion was superior because he had A PhD from Harvard. The problem was he was illiterate he could not write a sentence his vocabulary was limited. He got promoted to a higher not teaching position.
Deepseek is also out of date - it’s knowledge base only goes up to 1 year ago, on a rolling forward basis. I didn’t know that, but I asked, and it told me. Prob the same with Chat I should imagine. 🤔
The classical US-Empire (which i have unmasked as just some tentacles of the Monster in The City Of London, where the Shadows are and the Lies and Narratives are being brewed), is in its final stage as Empire, before the ultimate collapse, which i indicated in my Article about the Origin of The Monster. It is to be either a Huge Revolt and disintegration (The Class War variant), or being defeated by its follow-up, a new empire (in which case the Monster just transfers to the new Empire).
We can clearly see the Class war that is growing. In the US it is called the MAGA movement, but among the younger generation it is the growing voice of Pro-Palestine protesters. In Europe it can be seen in the rise of what has been marked as 'Extreme Right' in the hope that name can prevent its growing, but de repression of this voice is unmasking the Fascist Totalitarian nature of the EU-Lobby-Network Elite.
But currently the pro-Palestine movement is exploding into a Europe-wide Protest that has anti-Vietnam and anti-cruise-missiles proportions. (Yes i know... I am a Boomer...)
What is clear to me and a lot of others is that the option to let the NAZI-Zionist-Empire (as i name it now) be defeated by its follow-up is zero. Because a war like that could be the end of our World and we do not want another empire. We want a world of endless Peace in stead of a world with endless wars.
Unfortunately, the United States now resembles Stalinist Russia of the 1930s than that of anything that is comparable to today's Russia in terms of military technology.
In Dmitry Zubov's recently published, "Stalin's Falcons", you get an inside look at how Soviet industrialization occurred. In a nutshell, it was a complete and total disaster. Incompetent people were placed in critical, decision-making positions primarily selected to be totally loyal to Stalin and his own massive incompetence.
Written by a Russian historian, one will not find comparable analysis from anyone in the West with the exception of Professor Sean McMeekin's excellent publication of "Stalin's War".
Using primary source material from long hidden Soviet archives and personal memoirs, Zubov weaves a story of mass incompetence so overwhelming that only the equally massive propaganda and instilled fear of execution prevented Soviet citizens from revolting in mass. With this Zubov claims that even today most western historians cannot get above the massive mythologies and propaganda that infested daily Soviet life.
Unlike the manufacturing excellence of the United States at the time, Soviet Russia worked their workers to near death in slave-like conditions, while actual prisoners in the work-camps dropped like flies. Quality of production was completely sacrificed for the sake of speed and quantity while quality technical personnel were completely ignored in their needs and requirements to produce quality output.
Military testing of Soviet made aircraft went through a rigorous program of acceptance testing by the highly qualified Alexander Filin, an expert test pilot and military organizational quality-control genius. However, because he refused to accept junk from Soviet production plants, he was eventually removed by Stalin on the basis of foolish complaints by the far less competent.
The head of the Red Army Soviet Air Force was a brilliant young 29 year old pilot and aviation expert. At one meeting he got so fed up with Stalin's bullshit that he stood up and laid the blame for the massive number of continuing aviation accidents right at Stalin's feet. True to form, Stalin had him arrested and shot 7 months later.
Today in the United States we are being run by a president who has a pea-sized brain filled with "stupid" and a rubber-stamp Congress for the president's whims, which seriously reflect the very same activities of the Soviet Duma under Stalin.
The United States, at this point, can no longer fight a determined foe, no matter their military efficacy while its national government is apparently intent on destroying the domestic economy as a result of the same rampant incompetence that plagued Stalin's Soviet Russia...
Fun fact: Zubov is NOT a historian. He's a psychologist. Besides, your/his claims contrast enormously with the results of the massive industrialization plans conducted by Stalin - which allowed the USSR to vastly out-produce the entirety of Europe in just a few years. Besides, copy-pasted from the notoriously Stalinist Wikipedia:
"Two production aircraft were flown on ranges of 1,100 km (680 mi) and 971 km (603 mi), flying at 90% of maximum speed and at an altitude of 7,300 m (24,000 ft), contradicting the report of the NII VVS (Naoochno-Issledovatel'skiy Institoot Voenno-Vozdushnye Sily—Air Force Scientific Test Institute).[3]
Despite the teething problems with the MiG-3, in 1941, one of the aircraft's designers—Mikhail Gurevich—was awarded the State Stalin Prize for his contribution to Soviet aviation.[4]
A number of reports had been received about poor quality aircraft received by the regiments which pointed directly at the NII VVS as it was responsible for monitoring the quality of the aircraft delivered to the VVS. On 31 May 1941 the People's Commissariat of Defense decreed that the NII VVS had been negligent. A number of senior managers were demoted and the head of the Institute, Major General A. I. Filin was summarily executed.[3]"
I may be wrong, but this whole "book" by Zubov has a distinct smell of horse excrement to me.
The fact that Dmitry Zubov has written 32 books on Russian\Soviet history of which only a few have been translated into English, would make him a historian. How many such books have you written?
The top historian on the American Civil War's Peninsula Campaign is an attorney by profession. So what's your point?
Dmitry Zubov admits that he is trained psychologist and use his background to analyze the personage of who he writes about.
I also noted in my statements that Zubov used primary source material from Russian archives for his analysis and statistics. I also noted that he used personal memoirs from those people he presents in the book.
The reason why Soviet Russia defeated the Wehrmacht had nothing to do with Russian industrial power but instead with the massive number of supplies delivered through FDR's illegal Lend-Lease Program. This was confirmed by historians John Mosier and Sean McMeekin in their books, "Death Ride" and "Stalin's War", respectively. I cannot say as it regards Mosier's book, but McMeekin's book was also predicated on primary source material.
Your statements have no source references to them except the fact that you read such information.
Maybe your information is that which is incorrect considering so much WWII history regarding the Soviet Union is shrouded in both western and Soviet propaganda, which many western historians have relied on.
Maybe i is you who smells of "horse excrement" instead...
Still no relation whatsoever with facts. How could the USSR industrialize so much and so quickly if anything stated by you and Zubov was even remotely plausible? Robert Conquest wrote a bunch of books and fashioned himself a historian. His books are a load of bullshit nonetheless. L. Ron Hubbard wrote a lot of books. Guess what, they're bullshit. Tom Clancy wrote a lot of books. They're bullshit. What do they have in common? They all wrote fiction that someone took seriously.
Go read Grover Furr. Go read Ludo Martens. Only then you can talk. Until then, you're just wasting everyone's time and filling your brain with shit.
Doesn't it ever get old? Going all the way back to Stalin to convince all of us that Russia and it's people are just so stupid they allowed Stalin to murder all of them and yet they still managed to destroy the German's war machine. Everything about them is inferior and at the same time the T34 destroyed all those german wonder tanks. Of course, you tout a Russian Historian. There are plenty of other Russian historians that say you are full of shit.
And to top it off, you are trying to blame the US's decades of rot and deception by the MIC crowd on Trump who you seem to think has been President since the 1950's because that is when the oligarchs took full 100% control of the political class
All of history is repetitive since the same degenerate ingrates appear to always gain power, with the only exceptions that break the norms.
The reason the T34 was able to destroy so many German tanks had nothing to do with quality but the fact that so many were built using US supplied parts as part of the Lend-Lease Program. After the invasion by Germany there wasn't much Russian industry left to evacuate.
And when it was rebuilt to some extent it relied heavily on slave labor in both the plants and the Gulags.
Further, Kursk, the greatest tank battle of WWII, was only a Pyrrhic Victory for the Russians considering that they lost so many men and material in that engagement.
Russian man-to-man kill ratio never exceeded that of the Wehrmacht's throughout the war.
You seem to believe that because the Russians won against the Wehrmacht they were somehow superior in many ways. They weren't. They just threw more men and materials at the enemy and the Germans were left to drown within the onslaught.
The massive Russian casualty counts were mostly a result of Stalin's stupidity that also eliminated the most talented Russian military leadership during the 1930s with his purges. Over 25,000 such officers were executed and imprisoned for god knows what reasons.
And you believe that the Russian military was able to recover from this while also under the onslaught of the fines trained army in the world at the time?
As far as Trump i concerned, he is a degenerate moron who succeeded in gaining the White House twice because of the mass stupidity of so many in the American populace, who has been brainwashed to death with the help of enablers such as yourself.
And if you even read what I wrote, I never held Trump accountable for what is wrong with American society but that the current administration and its acolytes in Congress act more as a Stalinist regime than that of anything that was found in the 1930s Third Reich.
I suggest you read some books on the subject before making such statements as you have...
Once upon a time the US made those quick and cheap to build “Liberty ships” and the Jeep, in great quantities. Simple and effective and easy to produce in quantity … but they lost the “Kalashnikov principle” and replaced it with the “F35 principle” 😃
Someone once stated that Washington DC is nothing but an enormous market where literally everything is for sale. Let your imagination run wild. If you can think of it, it's for sale in Washington. Including people, from judges and prosecutors to the President.
Indeed, election campaigns are fought and won in terms of dollars and cents. Power is bought by the rich in front of our eyes.
Totally agree Julian. Anything 'by consensus', except perhaps the deliberations of a synod of bishops, is bullshit. Because the preponderance of people are stupid and the people of A I are not only stupid but perverse to a point of evil
I couldn't agree more. May I introduce an expert witness or two?
"Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you’re being had".
"If 'everybody knows' such-and-such, then it ain't so, by at least ten thousand to one".
- Robert Heinlein, 'Excerpts from the Notebooks of Lazarus Long', "Time Enough for Love"
"This is one of the reasons you can build a consensus in a community… because anyone who is sceptical of that consensus essentially gets kicked out of that community".
I think it may be worse for Science. Science makes more of a show and pretense of absolute truth. Bad science does. Anyone who suggests following the science should have their tongues cut out. I had some PhD scientists in my family, with degrees from a real University, not Harvard or Yale, and they said, Science is only taking measurements, again and again, and never getting it quite right.
The Crichton article is superb. I will be mailing that around to all kinds of people who probably will not read it. (actually printed it which is the only thing I trust to remain these days).

Wow Tom! I wish I had included those footnotes. But as Count Leonid Tolstoi said: “All great ideas are simple: If evil men can work together to get what they want then so can good men to get what they want.”
The West has sufficient weaponry to preemptively strike women, children, and men in sandals. Anything more than a stick in the hands of their intended victims and the Anglo-Zionists, and their various hangers-on, will lose.
God, now you are asking the fucking lying AI data monsters?
Russia is sucking wind. The junk that goes to Ukraine still hit Moscow and energy sources. Bird Steam? Billions in Russian assets hijacked by EuroTrash's thieves?
A war of attrition? Meat grinding? What fucking sick Slavs.
China and Iran? No help indeed .
Disgusting how hobbled Putin is with his love of Jews .
As AmeriKKKa circles its sewer pipes.
Right now, Congress is working on/passed a giant, fast-track bill that would make historic cuts to basic needs programs to finance another round of tax breaks for the wealthy and big corporations.
As the Communications and Policy Director for the Rural Democracy Initiative, I’ve been hearing from rural leaders across the country about the devastating impacts this bill would have.
The good news is it’s not too late. But there’s little time to spare.
This dangerous, unpopular bill would increase costs for rural working families by thousands of dollars per year, leaving millions hungry and without health care — all to provide tax breaks and handouts to the wealthy and special interests
The US military can learn everything it needs from our ally, Ukraine, who according to your video, has the best drone operations on the planet.
I think you’re experiencing some emotional overload.
I watched this entire video, and at no point does he refer to the United States as a paper tiger. He even says that the US drone program has a slight edge on Russia, lol.
You should try actually listening to the things you are sharing. The guy in that drone interview constantly frames the US as a fearsome adversary. He paints Russia’s military complex as even more flawed than ours.
I took a virtual tour of the Lancet Drone Factory. There was also a documentary about the inventor and how he built the factory. It was all very interesting. If I recall, the factory was built in an abandoned mall so all the HVAC and electrical systems were in place as well as plenty of parking.

You are absolutely correct... For the grifters then, "Reality is a bitch..."
Usually grifters actively avoid noticing reality until the ropes and guillotines come out. My grandma used to tell me her memories from WW2, about local blackshirts (the italian fascist militias) who insisted on bullying civilians and "confiscating" things like leather, wool, and tools "for the war effort" (in reality, to be sold on the black market) with the regime already collapsing. Let's just say quite a few of them were very surprised when they got their just desserts.
"DeepSeek, for example, disagrees with me.
"United States: Leads in military drone technology with advanced systems like the MQ-9 Reaper (General Atomics) and RQ-4 Global Hawk (Northrop Grumman)".

Deepsick.
Thank you, Julian...
I agree with your Technical overview.
The classical US-Empire (which i have unmasked as just some tentacles of the Monster in The City Of London, where the Shadows are and the Lies and Narratives are being brewed), is in its final stage as Empire, before the ultimate collapse, which i indicated in my Article about the Origin of The Monster. It is to be either a Huge Revolt and disintegration (The Class War variant), or being defeated by its follow-up, a new empire (in which case the Monster just transfers to the new Empire).
We can clearly see the Class war that is growing. In the US it is called the MAGA movement, but among the younger generation it is the growing voice of Pro-Palestine protesters. In Europe it can be seen in the rise of what has been marked as 'Extreme Right' in the hope that name can prevent its growing, but de repression of this voice is unmasking the Fascist Totalitarian nature of the EU-Lobby-Network Elite.

The Crichton article is superb. I will be mailing that around to all kinds of people who probably will not read it. (actually printed it which is the only thing I trust to remain these days).
yMade my day, though! The Vimeo thing shows as ‘not accessible’ or something like that, no doubt ‘for the greater good’ …of someone other than me.

Wow Tom! I wish I had included those footnotes. But as Count Leonid Tolstoi said: “All great ideas are simple: If evil men can work together to get what they want then so can good men to get what they want.”
Despite the colossal and unaudited sums of money the US spends on the military, I wonder whether the US has any viable defenses at all.
Not against any major military/naval power.
The West has sufficient weaponry to preemptively strike women, children, and men in sandals. Anything more than a stick in the hands of their intended victims and the Anglo-Zionists, and their various hangers-on, will lose.
God, now you are asking the fucking lying AI data monsters?
Russia is sucking wind. The junk that goes to Ukraine still hit Moscow and energy sources. Bird Steam? Billions in Russian assets hijacked by EuroTrash's thieves?
A war of attrition? Meat grinding? What fucking sick Slavs.
China and Iran? No help indeed .
Disgusting how hobbled Putin is with his love of Jews .
As AmeriKKKa circles its sewer pipes.
Right now, Congress is working on/passed a giant, fast-track bill that would make historic cuts to basic needs programs to finance another round of tax breaks for the wealthy and big corporations.
As the Communications and Policy Director for the Rural Democracy Initiative, I’ve been hearing from rural leaders across the country about the devastating impacts this bill would have.
The good news is it’s not too late. But there’s little time to spare.
This dangerous, unpopular bill would increase costs for rural working families by thousands of dollars per year, leaving millions hungry and without health care — all to provide tax breaks and handouts to the wealthy and special interests
The US military can learn everything it needs from our ally, Ukraine, who according to your video, has the best drone operations on the planet.
I think you’re experiencing some emotional overload.
I watched this entire video, and at no point does he refer to the United States as a paper tiger. He even says that the US drone program has a slight edge on Russia, lol.
You should try actually listening to the things you are sharing. The guy in that drone interview constantly frames the US as a fearsome adversary. He paints Russia’s military complex as even more flawed than ours.
