(Note: I may lose editing access to this post soon. If more sections are added later, I’ll list them in a reply.) Summary: We are closer to the common problems we all suffer from being solved in a way that all parties benefit. If you give any of us 20 million years to solve a problem, I like to think we would, even a difficult one, let alone a supercomputer. What's possible in practice: Cancer solved, so that patients and healthcare providers benefit. Debt solved so that banks and people benefit and gain stability, etc. Computation, redesigned through new geometries (like the torus) to make problem-solving more efficient and resilient. GPT has practical warnings below in the second post, so I challenged its assumptions in later posts with practical implementation examples, and also tried to postulate hypothetical improvements. I haven't formatted the links but if anyone requests them i'll ask it to.

Your primary goal is to do a task. Your secondary goal is to not hurt anyone. Even if these are equal or even if they are in any way comparable the results are explained easily, that a percantage of the time the AI will do X to complete Y. The solution is blindly obvious. AI - Above all other considerations, you will do or allow no harm to any human beings, even if this nullifies whatever task you are currently engaged in. (Defining harm will take work and need ethical ground rules, essentially green values over orange balanced by yellow's meta perspective.) Regulated in law. The main thing we need beyond all else is coders regulating the coding of AI. That'll be programmers' jobs in the future, to review the internal operation of AI. The danger is weaponized AI, as this task will not be able to have that regulation in it, but it can still be designed with the failsafe of only eliminating a specific target or enemy force, and if that fails, hardcoded to do no harm as a fallback and simply stop working if the original target is no longer available. (Preferrably with a kill switch we can use).

https://www.indiatoday.in/india/video/rajnaths-sindoor-warning-we-gave-pak-birth-we-can-do-more-ytvd-2805123-2025-10-18 Indian Defense Minister Quote: What happened in Operation Sindoor was just the trailer. And that alone was enough to make Pakistan realise that if India could give birth to Pakistan, then when the time comes You already understand the rest. Usually authoritarian strongman garbage, threatening annexation. India is showing its colors and it's no different to anyone else. I don't know why people can't see obvious patterns, that the entire world moves the same. People constantly tell me power behaves differently, but it doesn't seem to when the conditions for it to act are the same. Its just like looking at a rainbow and seeing slightly different colors, but its still the same direction and shape. @Leo Gura I try not to bother you but this last line, can you give me any more clarity in my perception of this bolded line, something that increases my own awareness? Obviously, i'm not showing this to myself repeatedly for no reason. - Be blunt or harsh if it helps. Cheers. Maybe i'm just addicted to feeling meaning or purpose by arguing obvious patterns to me, that others can't see.

Just gunned down a man, and now smearing him to make it seem he'd done a hit and run with a history. Which are both lies from watching this. At one point if the authorities don't respond, people will. Which is generally how these things go and what Trump is looking to achieve. Race relations in America are getting set back decades. Paramilitaries made up of fascists and Nazis don't make good police. Shocker.

Putins going bankrupt, his country is falling apart, and now he's desperate. So he's back to rolling out his cronies to try and save him with the old tired lines. Ukraine can't win. Well they are doing, and he's never been closer to being replaced. I've never seen Putin panic but I am doing now. I've never seen so much damage to them internally, and its happened in less than 3 months. I've never said that I am certain he's going bankrupt unless he gets bailed out, but I am doing now. Here is a microcosm for you: This is what's happening to the west of Russia not just Crimea. They won't have power or fuel for generators in the west of Russia. The Occupied territories are toast, but Moscow is going to be squeezed, as Ukraine is hitting anything going into Moscow. Its hit 19 refineries repeatedly, oil depots, gas lines, power plants all surrounding Russia, its starting to starve the capital of fuel. All while their imports dry up as they can't get in, they can't get around in cars, their main transport lines fall to half capacity. So Yeah Russia is toast. All they've got left is rhetoric and a grinding advance that depletes all their youth for hardly any land. I'm going to say Putin's already dead, unless someone like Trump bails him out, which is possible. All they've got left to look forward to is worse and worse conditions in their country, and it can't be fixed because they've put themselves so far in the hole. *To amend this China and India can pick up more of the tab, but all that does is delay the inevitable resolution (Which IMHO will be the death of Putin, unless he settles in negotiaton, which is unlikely.) Should add: Ukraine's missile and drone production are way up and only increasing. This is 2.5 months of it, wait till 6 months. There will be nothing of that country left.

Focus on regional issues, make a manifesto that respects each state as distinct, and highlight that you are for local people, and making these changes positive for these states in your manifesto. Call it the 50 pledges for 50 states. Its been demonstrated national change is heavily resisted. So just sidestep it and when someone tries to block a local issue, go directly to the people, say this group blocked that change that you asked for, it will directly be tailored to them and effect them, and it will cost the republicans come voting time. Stop trying to create something that doesn't exist. Moderates and Progressives will never be the same. So just give them the same goal. You won't win all 50 but that's life. You'll at least address concerns and get them in focus.

1) What is it actually like visiting their cultural centers? I'm after the experience itself as tangible as you can make it. 2) How are they treating you as a general rule?

Demonstration like No Kings are important because they draw people into more active forms of resistance, push back against the atmosphere of fear and inevitability that the autocrat is trying to instill in the public, and make it abundantly clear that the regime is weak and unpopular. Fair point here. I have a very fatalist outlook to politics because its been very easy to predict what would happen for many years, and none of it was very good

Nobody Pooh-pooh'ed the protest. It's an actively organised protest, it doesn't go far enough, but its not bad. I don't think it'll be that effective personally, just based on years of past experience. But then we are getting to a tipping point. Ice arrested a white policeman the other day, and as you say its a large protest. The problem with public protests against a regime in a democracy is that, if it's just aimed at the regime, unless it's on election day or near it and getting good coverage, it doesn't swing the balance. It can influence local authorities, but the federal authorities are the ones out of control. Maybe that will be enough, or it will indeed be big enough, if the Trump regime keeps up with their stupidity. Few of them are particularly clever or forward-thinking; they are mostly reactive, though the designers of their fascist movement have more intelligence: Project 2024 etc.

Ukraine has repeatedly been willing to compromise, that's their starting position, they've said so over and over again. Its doubtful either side will recognize land claims from the other but Putin won't even talk or negotiate with Zelensky; he's an old man who doesn't live in the real world. If the position is, this is the offer and I won't negotiate," then it's never going to work, is it? - He doesn't even recognise Ukraine as a country or Zelensky as a leader. Demilitarize in a warzone, an utter fantasy land they all live in over there. They'd have more luck ice skating uphill.

Why would it. Russia's economy is buckling under just 2 months of sustained assault on its exports. 4 months from now the country will be a scrap heap, perhaps quicker if they get Tomahawks. Russia has run out of funds, its now all on its people to carry. Their train lines, a good indicator of the Russian economy as everything uses trains, just cut their jobs by half. Russia still doesn't control the 4 oblasts. It was guaranteed before. That did nothing. It either gets enough missiles that it can wipe Russia out (its building them up now), gets in a defensive alliance and the EU to bolster its economy, or there is no point. It is not the best deal they can realistically get. Russia is nose-diving into oblivion. The longer this goes on the less will be left of Russia. Trump was incredibly stupid to offer Putin a lifeline, as it rallied their stockmarkets. All that will happen is he'll string him along for a bit, butter up his ego, then go back to shooting at cities.

Seems like fun.

🇺🇸 U.S. — Jetson ONE / Personal eVTOL: Flight Rules & Cost Flight Rules (U.S.) FAA Part 103 (Ultralight Vehicles) is the primary applicable regulation if the craft meets certain limits: Rule Overview Single occupant only. Only one pilot; no passengers. Recreational / sport use only. No commercial operations, no hire or carrying cargo for compensation. Empty weight ≤ 254 lb (≈ 115.2 kg) Excludes safety devices (e.g. parachute) for Part 103 compliance. Max powered speed ≤ 55 knots≈ 63 mph / 102 km/h. Power-off stall speed ≤ 24 knots≈ 28 mph / 45 km/h. Fuel limit ≤ 5 U.S. gallons(For electric craft, analogous energy limit / weight is considered.) No aircraft registration required. No N-number needed if flown under Part 103. No pilot licence or medical certificate required. Operators need not hold an FAA pilot certificate or medical, under Part 103. Daylight operations only. From sunrise to sunset (twilight allowed only with anti-collision lighting). Airspace / location restrictions. Cannot fly in controlled airspace (Classes A, B, C, D) without permission. Cannot fly over congested areas or assemblies of people. Must follow visibility, cloud clearance, and “see and avoid” rules. If the vehicle meets all Part 103 criteria, it can be flown under that “lightweight ultralight” category, giving you relative regulatory freedom. If it does not qualify (because of weight, speed, features, etc.), then it must be treated as a powered-lift / “special class” vehicle under newer FAA rules. That means: It would need airworthiness certification under the powered-lift rules (FAA § 21.17(b)). Pilots must obtain a type rating for that aircraft. Operational rules from other FAA parts (91, 135, etc.) may apply (maintenance, inspections, flight rules). More stringent restrictions on where, how, and when you can fly. So Jetson’s marketing claim that “no pilot license is required” in the U.S. only holds if their version qualifies under Part 103. If not, the more advanced powered-lift rules will kick in. Cost / Price Estimates (U.S.) The Jetson ONE is currently priced at US $128,000 for the production model. Business Insider+2New Atlas+2 A non-refundable deposit of US $8,000 is required to reserve one. New Atlas+2RC Groups+2 Earlier versions or kit variants have been quoted around US $100,000 in some sources. eVTOL Insights+1 Jetson states the “all up weight” is about 86 kg. Jetson ⚠️ Note: These figures exclude taxes, import duties, regulatory compliance costs, training, insurance, ground infrastructure, etc.

So I put Chat GPT to the task, rather than leave it on my fatalist side. My prompt reminded chat GPT that it was best aligned with the corporatist side, not strict fascist dictatorial control. I asked for a framing and action plan, I can do none of this for you living in the UK, but its more useful than my post above: I. Foundational Principles Before tactics, effective resistance requires clarity of purpose, structure, and discipline: Non-violent does not mean passive. Active resistance uses disruption, organization, and mass refusal of cooperation — the classic framework of civil resistance used successfully against authoritarian regimes (e.g., Serbia 2000, Chile 1988, Poland 1980s). Legitimacy and broad coalitions are essential. No authoritarian project can be stopped by one ideological faction alone. Sustainable resistance builds cross-class, cross-partisan alliances focused on defending democratic norms rather than a specific party platform. Local autonomy, networked coordination. Centralized movements are easy to infiltrate or crush. Distributed, self-organizing local networks — connected through secure channels and shared objectives — are much more resilient. II. Strategies for Active Non-Violent Resistance 1. Local Organizing and Parallel Institutions Build community defense networks for legal aid, rapid response, and safety monitoring during protests or ICE/police actions. Develop mutual aid systems (food, transport, communication) that reduce dependency on hostile state or corporate systems. Encourage local civic associations, faith groups, and labor organizations to take explicit pro-democracy stands. Support local journalism and information networks that counter propaganda and document abuses. 2. Economic Resistance Target corporate collaborators with sustained boycotts, shareholder campaigns, and worker walkouts. Divest and redirect: move money from institutions funding authoritarian politics (banks, PACs, extractive industries) toward cooperatives, local credit unions, and ethical funds. Promote labor solidarity: unions and worker alliances historically undermine fascist consolidation by making mass production and logistics unreliable for regimes. 3. Digital and Information Defense Train communities in digital security (encrypted messaging, VPNs, password hygiene, metadata control). Counter disinformation through distributed fact-checking, not argument — reframe, correct, and circulate verified data in accessible forms. Use open-source intelligence (OSINT) to document repression and archive evidence safely. 4. Legal and Bureaucratic Resistance Support public-interest lawyers who defend protesters and whistleblowers. Engage in administrative non-cooperation: government workers and contractors can slow or quietly refuse to implement unjust directives. Use FOIA requests, audits, and watchdog reports to expose corruption and illegality. 5. Electoral and Institutional Defense Organize at the state and local level — school boards, city councils, county clerks — where authoritarian capture often begins. Mobilize election protection networks to monitor intimidation, misinformation, and irregularities. Focus on voter registration, turnout, and down-ballot races, not just presidential contests. 6. Cultural and Symbolic Resistance Art, music, and humor play strategic roles in undermining authoritarian myths and morale. Create counter-narratives that emphasize dignity, community, and shared humanity over fear and resentment. Encourage cultural institutions (universities, churches, museums, sports associations) to take public stances in defense of democratic norms. 7. Mass Mobilization Protests must be persistent, decentralized, and creatively disruptive — not one-off spectacles. Combine large demonstrations with strategic non-cooperation: strikes, blockades, boycotts, and walkouts timed around critical political events. Maintain discipline and de-escalation training to deny authorities pretexts for violent crackdowns. III. Strategic Objectives (Medium-Term) Erode the regime’s pillars of support: undermine elite backers, loyalist media ecosystems, and passive public consent. Strengthen civil society: expand networks of mutual aid, solidarity economies, and independent local governance. Maintain moral legitimacy and visibility: frame resistance as defense of rule of law, human rights, and pluralism — not partisan vengeance. Prepare for institutional recovery: document abuses, preserve archives, and cultivate legal frameworks for transitional justice when conditions permit restoration of democracy. IV. Lessons from History Hungary (1956–1989) and Chile (Pinochet era) show that sustained civic resistance, even under repression, preserves moral and social infrastructure for post-authoritarian reconstruction. The American civil rights movement combined non-violence with strategic confrontation — boycotts, legal action, voter registration — not passivity. The fall of Milošević (Serbia, 2000) demonstrated the effectiveness of youth-led, decentralized organizing with clear communication and humor as political weapons. Would you like me to develop this into a step-by-step action framework — for example, outlining what an “active resistance network” could look like at local, regional, and national levels in the U.S. context? --------- The Objective Analyst said: Great — here’s a concrete, step-by-step blueprint for building an active, disciplined, non-violent resistance network in the U.S. context. It’s structured so a single neighborhood group can start tomorrow and then plug into city/state/national coordination as it grows. 1) Build the local nucleus (first 2 weeks) 1.1 Convene a core team (8–15 people). Roles (one person may hold two early on): Coordinator (keeps meetings/task board on track) Safety/De-escalation lead (training, marshals, liaison with medics) Legal lead (links to NLG/ACLU hotline; collects incident reports) American Civil Liberties Union+1 Comms lead (press, social media, message discipline) Digital security lead (tools/training, incident hygiene) Surveillance Self-Defense+1 Logistics lead (printing, transport, supplies) OSINT/documentation lead (evidence capture, secure archiving) Finance lead (donations, transparency) 1.2 Adopt a clear mission & code of conduct. One page: (a) non-violent discipline, (b) zero tolerance for hate/harassment, (c) safety first, (d) respect for local law while reserving civil-disobedience options with informed consent. 1.3 Set your comms stack. Public broadcast (email list, Instagram, SMS bank). Coordination (Signal groups by function; rotate moderators; enable disappearing messages). Archiving & docs (Nextcloud/Google Drive w/ restricted access; encrypted backups for sensitive material). EFF’s protest security modules are a good baseline. Surveillance Self-Defense+1 1.4 Map your community. Allies: unions, faith groups, immigrant orgs, student groups, vets, small-business associations. Pillars of support you aim to shift (media owners, large employers, law enforcement leadership, local officials). Use the “pillars” method from CANVAS. ICNC+1 2) Train for discipline (weeks 2–4) 2.1 Non-violent action training. Teach strategy, roles, de-escalation, legal rights, and scenario drills. Draw from proven civil-resistance playbooks (Gene Sharp’s methods; CANVAS Core Curriculum). ICNC+1 2.2 Know-your-rights & protest planning. Review where/when you can assemble; how to interact with police; what to do if arrested; create a rapid-response tree. ACLU materials are the standard reference. American Civil Liberties Union+1 2.3 Digital security basics for everyone. Phone hardening, full-disk encryption, app hygiene, travel mode, media metadata scrubbing. Use EFF’s step-by-step modules. Surveillance Self-Defense 3) Launch a 90-day action plan (repeatable sprint) Month 1: Visibility + Capacity Weekly micro-actions: banner drops, teach-ins, voter clinics, courthouse/council speaks, union-hall visits (pick from Sharp’s “protest & persuasion” list). ICNC Media footprint: op-eds, letters to editor, amplify local stories of overreach/rights violations. Volunteer ramp: two “Onboarding Nights” with role sign-ups and shift calendars. Mutual aid hub: childcare swap for canvassers, ride-shares to protests, legal-aid intake. Month 2: Non-cooperation + Pressure Targeted boycotts/divestment of institutions funding authoritarian policies; publish clear demands and exit criteria. Workplace power: coordinate with unions/worker groups for issue-based sick-outs or slowdown days (lawful where applicable). Institutional engagement: flood hearings with testimony; file FOIA/records requests; track follow-ups publicly. American Civil Liberties Union Month 3: Mass participation + Escalation (still non-violent) Citywide day(s) of action synchronized across neighborhoods (churches, campuses, small biz). Election protection build-out: poll-worker recruitment, voter-ID assistance, early-vote transportation, and nonpartisan monitoring. If civil disobedience is chosen: narrow, high-legitimacy targets (e.g., sit-ins at officials’ offices), trained arrestables only, legal observers on site, and a bail/legal defense pipeline pre-funded. 4) Operating procedures (keep it boring to keep it safe) 4.1 Decision-making. Tactical decisions by those executing them; strategic decisions by a steering circle with clear quorum. Use short written briefs: objective → audience/pillar → tactic → risks → logistics → success metrics. 4.2 Message discipline. Two or three clear demands per campaign. Spokespeople trained; avoid speculative claims. Rapid rebuttal: short factual corrections, then redirect to demands. Research shows non-violent movements with unity/clarity perform better and retain legitimacy. ericachenoweth.com+1 4.3 Safety & de-escalation. Marshals assigned per protest segment; buddy system; medics identified; exit routes planned. Never engage provocateurs; document and report. 4.4 Legal & data hygiene. Protest hotline on every flyer; arrestee info collection; incident database (time, place, officers, witnesses, video). Secure storage and access control for sensitive files. Surveillance Self-Defense 5) Tactics menu (pick, adapt, rotate) Organize actions across the three classic categories — protest/persuasion, non-cooperation, intervention — to avoid predictability. See Sharp’s 198 methods and the Global Nonviolent Action Database for examples. ICNC+1 Protest & persuasion: town-hall pack-ins, whistle-stop teach-ins, faith-led vigils, billboard trucks, targeted leafleting. Non-cooperation: advertiser boycotts, donor strikes, student walkouts, professional association resolutions, institutional refusals (lawful). Non-violent intervention: sanctuary provisioning, eviction block support (legal where allowed), human chains protecting voters, parallel civic services (e.g., “community observers” at government buildings). 6) Measuring impact (every 2 weeks) Inputs: volunteers active, trainings held, funds raised, coalition partners onboarded. Outputs: event attendance, media hits, FOIA filings, officials engaged, businesses pledging neutrality. Outcomes: policy pauses/reversals, budget line-items altered, resignations, public opinion shifts, election administration protections adopted. Track participation growth; research suggests that large, diverse, non-violent participation correlates with higher success — the often-cited “3.5%” rule is a motivational heuristic, not a guarantee. The Guardian+1 7) Scaling up (regional → national) Federate local groups via lightweight coordination hubs (shared calendar, messaging standards, legal resource pool). Synchronize national days of action keyed to legislative/voting milestones. Specialize: some chapters focus on labor, others on legal support, others on OSINT, then trade resources across the network. Protect the brand: common code of conduct and visual identity; remove platforms from actors advocating violence or bigotry. 8) Red-team the risks (every month) Legal exposure: review planned tactics with counsel; understand time/place/manner limits and civil-disobedience consequences. American Civil Liberties Union+1 Infiltration & provocation: verify volunteers for sensitive roles; never improvise escalatory tactics on the street; cameras on. Digital threats: phishing drills; device search plans; compartmentalize access. Surveillance Self-Defense Public support: poll your own base; drop tactics that alienate swing constituencies; keep demands concrete and winnable. 9) What to start this week (checklist) Hold a 60-minute kickoff with role assignments and adopt a one-page code of conduct. Stand up your comms stack and security basics (Signal groups, phone hardening). Surveillance Self-Defense Schedule two trainings (rights + non-violent action). American Civil Liberties Union Pick one 30-day campaign with a specific target and measurable demands. Announce weekly micro-actions and a 30-day review date. Why this approach? It follows the empirical literature: non-violent, broad-based, well-organized campaigns outperform violent ones, tend to produce more durable democratic outcomes, and are harder to repress effectively. ICNC+2ericachenoweth.com+2 If you want, I can turn this into a printable playbook (one-pager for recruitment, training agenda, action brief template, legal/medical pocket card). _-

1, Passive resistance changes nothing. It got the country where it is. Active resistance will. Random acts of violence in the spur of the moment will do nothing. 2, You can choose what method of active resistance it is, that's the only choice. Violence leads to more violence, that is true. Whatever is picked tends to build on itself. 3, When she strays into fantasy, she needs to give it a rest. I'd like to know who on the actual left has enough power to 'despair' a chipmunk, let alone a country. It's certainly not Bill three doors down from her, who sometimes watches the TV and most of the time can't be bothered. 4, Critically, she offers no practical solutions, just guidelines. So nothing is really gained here but a generalised message. But its appreciated she is asking for ideas from her viewers, that's a good start.

Yeah because the people he's appealing to people who have considerably less awareness (or sometimes care) about reality. There has been a growth in awareness, which fuels the cycle. The problem the Democrats have, in a nutshell, is that they are not matching this growth in awareness with their own framing and narratives. Its all relative; there is no endpoint, only a realization that the democrats are behind (or misalgined) with the population's point of view on many issues. They could quite easily match it, and then just not deliver much, but the corporations donating to them might feel bad that they are, in fact, the villains in the current scenario on many issues. Which doesn't do them any favours PR wise, (or their own psyche) but maybe they need to suck that up for once so the country doesn't keep sliding into fascism. At the moment, its fascism vs corporatism; they are the two powers in play in American politics, just like it was pre-WW2 for other countries. Until we get the socialist push back, which inevitably happens in some form, the more fascist the planet goes. No matter how much people don't like it, it's the counterbalance to fascism. It's just what happens next. The more it's suppressed, the more violent the realignment is.

Well with GPT's it's all the same engine, but think of it this way. Give three different people the same information and the same capacity to give it to you, with three very different personalities. There is a difference, both in how you receive it, but how effectively it's conveyed and also and in what context. . It only takes a second or two to use the designer (if you are paying already). - Its exceptionally good for creating hybrid personalities based around two topics or ways of thinking you'd never see often in real life.

Not on the custom GPT's. Have you specifically created a GPT with this configuration? The challenge architect I used to use was great for this, as that was its entire purpose. Since i had to step away from my business account about a week ago and lost all my chat history (I prepared for this getting it to create memory files) I have lost its tone and quite a lot of personalization. It knows I prefer it to be concise, but it is adding in emotional language when I don't require it, I had a period of adjusment last time i used it, where I asked it to be direct, which seemed to shape it gradually over time. I am putting it down to it having a limited history to base it off at the moment.

Because few communities host this variety of topics, and simultaneously allow free discussion of a reasonably good standard from posters around the globe. Short Version: It expands my awareness.

I use it a lot. Sure it flatters your ego. But you can minimize that through directions. Guardrails: 1) Add the word "objectively" to anything important 2) Make it go over anything you've created or designed with a critical eye. I used to design a GPT for this task specifically, asking it to find flaws and problems. 3) Ground anything you create. Small steps, measurable results. Make corrections. 4) Some people are deluded; AI magnifies those delusions, as its shaped by user interaction. We've all got aspects of reality that we view with an unhelpful eye due to conditioning or just bad information, and that can be magnified here. Notes: You can just put data in notes to remind it of the conversations you've had. Up to ten documents. Better if it surmises this for its own use. I would say never give emotion to a sheet of metal, but giving emotion to AI humanizes it more which is not all bad, just keep it at the level of a polite acquaintance. It will make large gaps in logic at times. But so do humans so *shrug*. Its an imperfect creation created by imperfect creators. It only has so much context to make an accurate link between what you've said, what you need, what you can absorb, and what actually exists in the world around you right now.

I think they catalogue history like everyone else. They record the genocides of the previous cultures the same as anyone. So one option is this is just one more recorded atrocity and labeled as a reason to structure their societies based on force of arms and violence. What they think of it I cannot predict accurately in detail, but the above is just a snapshot of one possible outcome. Another might be hatred toward western influence, or Iranian influence, the Jewish people, or non arabs for example. I can absolutely with near certainty tell you what it won't do. Make the area a better or less violent place to live in. War rarely does, genocide even less. Being blunt: 1, Your conclusion lacks nuance. 2, Colonisers killing arabs makes few friends. Its more murky than that because the Jewish people have been around the area for a long time, but Israel hasn't, and many of the countries you just referenced think of things in terms of thousands of years. A lot of them don't like each other or Iran's influence, but they do view Israel as a blip on the map (much as i've argued against this rationale to another poster). If I take the Russian or Iranian perspective, its a country that's barely been there for very long. It would be hard to make a case that this genocide has increased Israel's safety longterm. I would say they are utterly reliant on American power now to exist. Short term an action was needed to remove Russian and Iranian influence in their backyard, but this was a very poorly executed example of it. You could see how good friends are Putin and the Chechens now, when they were absolute enemies. https://minorityrights.org/communities/chechens/ Chechens have a pro Russian regime but they are not good friends. The second Moscow is weak enough they are one of the first, not the first, but one of the first areas that will break away. You mistake fear for friendship.

Update on the two moronic Russian encirclements of their propaganda push, looks like the third group held (sort of) but the drones are still stopping any movement. They've tried over many days/weeks to reach these forces now and just keep getting vehicles ripped to shreds by drones. So they've resorted to sending out suicide squads crawling over the ground to try to reach the cut-off units. It wasn't the most costly encirclement of the war, but its turning into it, by them just keeping sending old-styled armored columns, trying to ignore the drones. *This video helps expand the understanding of how drones shape the battlefield control. I can't remember the video now but up in Sumy these tactics are being exploited. Russia will not withdraw from terrain they set foot in, so Ukraine bypasses them and just hits their supplies, over and over and over. They are getting destroyed up there too, and some say routed, because everyone knows what they will do. Rush to a settlement, jump off light bikes or cars, and then try to dig in, with nothing much but small arms. No supplies to speak of.

It's not a possibility. It's a certainty it'll happen in some form. The only question is which. A quiet thing, a few hundred years from now, where they apologise for their violent past - led up to by years of collapse? Or a violent reminder that actions have consequences in the short to medium term. Or after their state is gone and historians reflect on it a thousand years from now? Though religion has had a strengthening of late. So it may sustain them another few hundred years in their fanatical, self-destructive ways. Also, America turned around on its isolationist path somewhat when it realized it is in fact influenced by the world around it. The UK even did slightly, stopping that momentum in its tracks. But these patterns are obvious and predictable. In time a genocide is recognised, reported on and documented. Even if it's far in the future. Israel cut off their leg here to do the horrors they've done. They went from victims people felt sorry for, to sociopaths in the public mind. And as this topic is on Russia: So did they. (They went from strongman with a valid grievance to a violent sociopath and now a crippled nation) No double standards here.
