Exploring Deepseek AI. Image
Reassuring Image
Somehow I feel Deepseek isn't neutral Image
DeepSeek isn't all bad Image
DeepSeek vs ChatGPT on Tibet Image

Spoiler alert - it is. Image
Well there you go, "TikTok refugees". Clearly RedNote is 100% safe with no red flags whatsoever. Image

To get an immediate answer in Mandarin to a question asked about RedNote in English says it all
If you feel "neutral" about paediatric cancer patients being targeted by cruise missiles, then know who stands with you.

For everyone else with a moral compass, never forget Okhmatdyt. Image
For those who do care - help the largest paediatric cancer centre keep providing care to those in need (link below) Image

When you speak to DeepSeek, that's who you're talking to.

Side note - that's a lot of sovereignty talk for a completely unrelated question. Weird overcompensation. Image
Initial response vs gatekeeper override. Answers the question perfectly. Image

The "US-backed Maidan coup" propaganda is particularly ridiculous to me. From George H.W Bush to Obama, US policy has consistently been russian appeasement, especially with Ukraine. 1/4
They gave russia Ukraine's nukes, kept Ukraine far from NATO, sent Ukraine no lethal aid after Crimea was annexed. They were perfectly content with Ukraine losing Crimea to appease russia. They've regularly condemned Ukraine to "russia's sphere of influence". 2/4
The US was completely fine with Ukraine being in russia's orbit or control, like Belarus. Frankly, the last thing they'd have wanted was Ukraine challenging russia's hegemony, standing up to russia, pushing for NATO accession & daring to stand as equal partners 3/4

Weird how Johnson didn't call for Markarova to be fired when Zelenskyy visited Utah & met its Republican Governor a couple of months ago. 1/4 Image
Fact is, Zelenskyy has openly & consistently met with, visited and praised US politicians across the spectrum, including Speaker Johnson.

Playing cheap politics with the leader of an allied country fighting for survival is just pathetic. 2/4 Image
So he called Vance radical? He is radical. He publicly stated his disregard for their survival 3 days before the full-scale invasion. Frankly, Zelenskyy was once again extraordinarily polite in his criticism. 3/4 Image

Yep. Both my wife's grandfathers had to serve in the Red Army (Ukrainians were targeted for conscription) and fought in WWII and they saw this extensively

Stalin used three layers -

1. The "disposables" - front line. March forward no matter what.
2. The trained military - shoot anyone in the front line who turns around or dares to desert
3. The officers - same for groups 1&2 and ensure everyone keeps driving forward.

Stalin believed "quantity has its own quality" and that's a big factor behind the insanely high casualty numbers for the Red Army - millions caught between guaranteed death from oncoming Nazi fire and those behind them.

Same tactics by the russian armed forces & paramilitary groups like Wagner.

Lives are utterly disposable.

Oh and yeah, quite often, they'd prevent recovering their own soldiers' bodies to hide the death numbers at home.
Indeed, a common "unofficial" slogan for the russian army for centuries is - Вперёд! (forward!)

A backwards step is treated as treason and execution was and is the punishment. .

Despite this, we must learn. An enemy that relentlessly marches forward no matter the losses is still dangerous. Takes a lot to overpower that. They won't surrender. They won't retreat, not in mass, unless absolutely forced to.

Artillery & air superiority can force their hand.Image
If you think these tactics are barbaric & primitive - they are. They absolutely are. It creates this primal kill or be killed mentality and stimulates such brutality. The levels of alcoholism, absenteeism & domestic violence from men in the USSR after WWII were extraordinarily high.
