The way chosen by the United States was plainly marked by a few clear precepts, which govern its conduct in world affairs.
First: No people on earth can be held, as a people, to be enemy, for all humanity shares the common hunger for peace and fellowship and justice.
Second: No nation’s security and well-being can be lastingly achieved in isolation but only in effective cooperation with fellow-nations.
Third: Any nation’s right to form of government and an economic system of its own choosing is inalienable.
Fourth: Any nation’s attempt to dictate to other nations their form of government is indefensible.
And fifth: A nation’s hope of lasting peace cannot be firmly based upon any race in armaments but rather upon just relations and honest understanding with all other nations.
In the light of these principles the citizens of the United States defined the way they proposed to follow, through the aftermath of war, toward true peace.Dwight David Eisenhower (1890–1969) American general, US President (1953–61)

„Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, told CBS News in 2018 that his own nation was not planning to acquire a nuclear weapon, but that "without a doubt if Iran developed a nuclear bomb, we will follow suit as soon as possible".

Chris Peckham on our National Emergency: https://www.nebriefing.org/expert-briefings/opening
Not only is the prevailing #FascistLogic of our Nations governments’ driven by caprice and hubris, but is the reason for their corruption. They know the only possible future is grounded on an ethically sustainable science of logic, but still believe their gold plated pensions are worth the price! #NationalEmergency #ChrisPeckham #EarthMatters #BBCBias #EndlessWars #ParochialStories #ArmsRace #RealDialogue #inequality #injustice #DiverseReporting #CorporateEvil #EthicalRepresentation #EndUltrasPower -

@br00t4c Buying nuclear subs for the Treasonus Turds benefit got to be up there with the greatest 100 grifts!
And yet U.K. government has done worse. With an out of control arms race like those leading up to WW1 and WW2 what could possibly go wrong? Just buying into endless wars until every essential resource is turned to toxic shit, that’s all. #Auspol #UKpol #Uspol #EcocideEmpire #ArmsRace #AiRace #WW3

As much as I want to believe in disarming AI, the cynic in me is sure it will never happen. Just like with nuclear weapons, we have opened Pandora's box and won't be able to stuff AI back into it. The only thing we can do now is to anchor our society in morals and hope to prevent abuse.

The horror of Pandora's box isn't just that the weapon exists; it's that it has redefined the baseline of what is considered "necessary" to wage modern war. The clinical, automated destruction of human life has been normalized as a standard software capability, and the global security apparatus has already bought the license keys. -

Venture capital funding into AI and autonomous defense startups has completely shattered records, more than doubling year-over-year to hit tens of billions of dollars. The Pentagon has already rolled out its own generative AI platforms for millions of defense personnel, and the race to build completely independent, sovereign AI decision-support systems is the defining geopolitical trend. -

3. The Sovereign AI Arms RaceBecause the world has seen how these algorithmic kill chains operate, a frantic, global "sovereign AI" arms race has been triggered. Governments look at Ukraine and Gaza and realize that traditional, slow military bureaucracy means instant defeat.

„Project Maven is a Pentagon program that uses #AI to process drone and #surveillance data to automatically detect and track objects, using technology provided by contractors including #Palantir Technologies. #Maven has faced controversy amid questions about AI-assisted targeting in Iran, with concerns about speed, accountability, and harm to civilians related to automated #killchains.“

New #ArmsRace looms as clock ticks down on last #Russia - #US #nuclear treaty
The last nuclear treaty between Russia & the US is due to expire within hours, raising the risk of a new arms race in which #China will also play a key role.
The web of #arms control deals negotiated in the decades since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, considered the closest the world ever came to intentional #NuclearWar, was aimed at reducing the chance of a catastrophic nuclear exchange.
