    JR: What have I told you about believing the nonsense that AI spits out?

    Spike: If thatrCOs your view, then you might be concerned about possible
    future
    events in EuroperCa

    JR: I not only "might be" concerned about possible future events in Europe,
    I *am* concerned about possible future events in Europe. Isn't everyone?

    Spike: It was a polite circumlocution, sorry you missed it.

    Spike: rCafor a number of countries that either border or are threatened by
    the
    New Soviet Union have joined together to produce an AI-powered battle management command and control system for their armed forces.

    JR: One would hope that they will be avoiding mistakes such as you have
    been making, by checking what the AI says rather than relying on it unthinkingly.

    Spike: I suspect (another polite circumlocution) that you might not fully appreciate the potential of the now highly-skilled armed forces of the New Soviet Union to wage a form of what was once known in other times as
    Blitzkrieg - there may not be enough time to check what the AI BMC&C is
    telling the allied countries battle staff, under the swarm of recon drones, bomber drones, anti-drone drones, mining drones, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, glide bombs, strike aircraft and the rest. Those allied countries could lose their power and information systems overnight.

    The war might be an attritional one on the Ukraine front, but the General
    Staff of the NSU wonrCOt want to be caught in another stalemate, and
    doubtless expect that an attack on a different front will find the allied countries woefully unprepared for the demands of this new style of warfare.

    AFAIIA, the British Army has an officer of General rank in charge of Army Equitation, and itrCOs worth noting that the last cavalry charge by a British unit took place in Burma in 1942, but responsibility for drones is
    scattered across Force Commands and units.

    Note that in December alone, Ukraine sent 130,000 drones against Russian targets. The sheer scale of such warfare is huge. It might be that AI is
    the only mechanism that can process a full-scale attack in time to enable
    an effective response to be brought to bear.

    I point out that you should not be relying so completely on AI
    for answers about maths or etymology (or indeed law), and you
    start waffling on about the "New Soviet Union" invading Europe?

    Honestly, seek help. There's something wrong with you.

    Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it.
