The relationship between cloud service companies and AI companies transcribed for military hardware… “France Wants to Build Jet Fighters for Ukraine. Neither Has the Cash.” (WSJ):
Separately, the article says that it will take at least 10 years for these fighters to be produced:
Dassault Aviation, the French aircraft manufacturer of the Rafale, would struggle to produce 100 jet fighters within the next 10 years, said Léo Péria-Peigné, a researcher at the French Institute for International Relations. Manufacturing a Rafale takes around two to three years, and the company said last month it still had 233 jets on order that it aimed to deliver over the next five years.
Does this mean that people expect the Russia-Ukraine war to continue for at least 10 more years?
The conquest of Crimea is already 11 years in the past & Israel has been going at it for 77 years. Forever wars are the way in our modern age of non nuclear weapons. Too bad for everyone planning on downsizing by moving to Odessa. At least Portugal hasn’t fallen to Putin yet.
I think this is because most of the people, who are not smart enough to fit into mean-tested public benefits criteria, work harder under stress. One of my past employers actually was creating stressful situation on purpose to make employees work harder. Did not work on me, but worked on most others. To be fare not on Americans, they fired all Americans before they fired me. Also works on Israelis and Russians. Israel’s economy recovered faster then EU economy after covid shutdown and Russian economy is growing farther the EU economy after initial pull-back. Also, India – Pakistan conflict only increased outsourcing.
