Iran and NK? Agreed.
Russia (Putin et al)? They’re on the same level, to be honest. Putin literally conducted false flag “terrorist” bombings in a series of apartment buildings across Russia, and one of the teams was even caught (the FSB, of course, swept it under the rug. The FSB is the successor to the KGB. Putin was a Lt Col. in the KGB before turning to “politics”). His campaign promises to crack down on the perpetrators were a major part of what helped him clinch his initial hold on the Russian presidency.
That’s fair, but consider how much banks empower Putin by continuing to prop up the petrodollar which helps keep the Russian economy afloat.
Then consider how much these c-suite ghouls get a hard on for LLMs and AI and how much those muddy the waters of what is actually real, factual information and contributes to disinformation and misinformation on the web.
Maybe some would consider bigger a stretch, but I don’t.
Putin can go get fucked in the ear though.
