Wieso muss für die auch was produziert werden? Für meine Randgruppen-Hobby-Themen produziert der ÖRR (zurecht) auch nichts.

I mean the decision was stupid from an engineering point of view, but the reasoning is not entirely off. Basically it follows the biological example: if humans can drive without Lidar and only using their eyes than this is proof that it is possible somehow. It's only that the current computer vision and AI tech is way worse than humans. Elon chose to ignore this, basically arguing that it is merely a software problem for his developers to figure out. I guess in reality it is a bit more complex.

The situations are vastly different though. Despite everything Israel and Russia are still on entirely different levels of atrocities (not that it's a competition). If anything, the russian practice of torturing and parading your (sometimes dead) captives is indeed a parallel more to Hamas than it is to Israel in my view.

I agree with most of what you said. I'm not saying that the extend of the military campaign is justified or that the current balancing of objectives between saving civilians and fighting Hamas is fine and reasonable. Still to me indeed the current situation is not solely on Israel. The october attacks, the hostages and the rockets flying from Gaza to Israel are facts that did happen just as well as the killings of civilians in Gaza. We shouldn't just ignore that.

Naja da stellst du dich aber absichtlich dumm. Mal die Pornos beiseite gibt es Foltervideos vom IS, südamerikanischen Kartellen, der Wagner Gruppe und es gibt liveleak, watchpeopledie, 4chan usw. da braucht man echt nicht viel Phantasie. Die Notwendigkeit ist absolut gegeben und mit Queerfeindlichkeit hat das nichts zu tun. Sollte aber halt auf dem Endgerät passieren bzw. Kinder sollten halt kein Smartphone mit ungefiltertem Internet bekommen.

Because Bundeswehr incompetence. I believe the state of the german military can be explained by considering that after the cold war it was absolutely gutted and never meant to be an efficient armed forces because there was no support for that, not politically and not among the german people. The remains were just meant to be some kind of feel-good alibi towards NATO partners. And it's not even about the money but about how it was setup as an organization. Just compare french and german military spending and military capabilities to get an idea how inefficient the german military is. And then also think about which types of people would make a conscious choice to spend their professional career in that environment and what their motivations are. I don't want to offend anyone but I think it's not far fetched to say that many are in for the comfy low effort paycheck with no intention of actually pulling their weight when it matters. It's absolutely sad and wasteful but at least it seems that finally change is started to improve and to take national defense more serious again. But the necessary changes are immense and will take quite some time. So, saying this as a german citizen, maybe manage your expectations towards the professionalism of the german military at least for a couple more years 🙁

Yes, no doubt about that! And there are many more reasons besides taurus. Not sure if its a generational thing though or rather just the shitty state of our political system.

Well I guess if you consider "the west" as one common block then yes, maybe it is a net-zero game. And maybe that really is the fair assessment. But from the purely european point of view it sure was nice when we had a peace divident that we could invest elsewhere.
