The sitting president of the United States demands that families of adversarial insurgencies be exterminated. He runs concentration camps for migrants where people are robbed, killed and raped . The US has used weapons of mass destruction, historically the country engaged in war crimes, terrorism , coups , torture and blackmail to gain geopolitical objectives. USA has committed about 10 genocides in pursuit of territorial acquisitions, political compliance , slave labor and resource grabs . How should the rest of the world view Trump's words when he says to " kill their families "? The United States as a belligerent , genocidal actor most of whose leaders are war criminals and refuse to recognize the International Criminal Court for fear of prosecution, but instead threaten the court judges with death and sanctions, has proven that it is its terrorist policy to commit genocide against adversarial nations as a means of subjugation. Rules of war, in case of...

I have come across an Economist article  which postulated that air conditioning will be required by ever larger numbers of people to survive global warming, which in effect will add to the rising global temperatures. Perhaps there is a way to avoid having to deploy all these new air conditioning units across cities, without resorting to air conditioning entire blocks by using the canopy solution that I've been proposing for shading streets and bringing full on climate control to municipalities. What if we used the geothermal model of heating and cooling, and applied it to atmospheric cooling of urban centers? Cities could create a climate control mechanism where very tall towers are built for pumping air into the upper atmosphere. This would serve to create an inward draft into the cities which generally experience hotter weather than the suburbs and thus lower the urban temperatures. While the hot air trapped by the city's concrete is cooled as it enters the atmosphere abov...

"The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank ( AIIB ) is a multilateral development bank that aims to support the building of infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific region." It is aimed to spur infrastructural growth where historically Americans destroyed infrastructure in genocidal wars , places like Vietnam, Korea, Laos, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Philippines, Russia, Libya. The bank is now a proven success, and it has funded projects across Eurasia. Infrastructure is the back bone of economies. However, there is another part to this, the human capital, human ingenuity, human innovation and the immense opportunity created by modern day inter-connectivity of world's economies brought about by advances in telecommunication, computing, transportation and such. What I propose is for the European Union, Eurasian Economic Union, China, India and Association of Southeast Asian Nations to field a new investment bank aimed at funding entrepreneurial projects and star...

There has been a lot of talk about cleaning up space garbage as it becomes an ever more complex cloud of debris to navigate, creates a perilous gauntlet of chunks large and small that fly at velocities faster than a bullet with respect to spacecraft that may collide with them. This of course necessarily leads to all kinds of solutions that will weaponize space to some degree . The fact that all major powers already fielded and tested ground based lasers and missile anti-satellite weapons that can destroy assets kinetically in low Earth orbit, only adds fuel to fire. Space will be weaponized, is being weaponized and the weapons creating debris will deny space access to all of humanity. Clearly one needs to field weapons that are either cybernetic , kinetic on the ground or a novel method of taking over satellites that does not change their orbit or breaks them apart into clouds of debris. Special operations, for instance airborne units that can take over satellite command centers, ...

Poland to win a defensive tank war against Russia... doesn't need tanks . What Poland needs is a new autonomous hybrid weapons system that combines self driving terrain vehicles with drones that can fly for several miles to engage armored units and fire one or two antitank missiles from low altitude. These weapon systems can sit in wait on the front lines and deny access to any incoming armored divisions very cheaply. They can be forward deployed and remotely controlled. Drones can be helicopter drones and thus VTOL, which means they can return to their ground vehicles where they are mounted and pick up additional missiles. Vehicles could field as many as 8 anti-tank missiles. What this means, is that this weapon system can engage tanks, mobile mortars, mobile artillery units and armored personel carriers from camouflaged locations by launching their drones, which subsequently can hit these armored units from beyond line of sight of the crew of the enemy ground vehicle it aims to n...

Try modeling the brain of an ANT in a computer simulation for the Human Brain project, then teach it to recognize speech within the scope of the size of its cybernetic equivalent as exhibited by gaming software like that of the 720K Electronic Arts 1980's title: Starlight. See how many words it can learn and determine how well it can communicate verbally. What is your result? How well can ants talk to you? Do they have an innate understanding of self? Can they tell numbers? Do they have personality and thus individuality? Is their memory DNA dependent and stored as pieces of DNA migrate and attach? Have you accounted for that in ant's memory and cognition when you modeled the ant brain? Are ants aware of their physicality and purpose? As part of a collective, once you've established contact with ants whom you deem insignificant insects, but whom Buddhism teaches to respect as individual souls and not kill them but instead respect each one's right to life and conscious...

Drone warfare is not limited to large UAVs that roam and search the territory where air superiority has been established. There exist a wide rage of solutions for smaller drones, often related to surveillance , accessing buildings remotely or dropping small munitions beyond the line of sight at locations that would otherwise be unreachable without large bombs being dropped from aircraft. There exist however a vulnerable target in warfare that has not as of yet been targeted by small drones, namely power lines and communication cables. Small UAVs can be used to burn garbage off high power lines, this of course has a commercial use and these solutions are readily available for purchase. However, were one to deploy the same type of drone with a cutting tool , these drones can just as easily cut power lines and do so clandestinely at night. The drone can be deployed from a truck or car, retrieved after conducting a mission and deployed again. In other words is it a reusable weapon tha...
