Late on Sunday night, President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed on social media that all of the operatives of the nation’s security services, SBU, who had participated in a a raid earlier in the day that knocked out about $7 billion in Russian military aircraft within the invading country’s airfields, were safe in Ukraine and accounted for.

The operation was dubbed “Spiderweb.”

“An absolutely brilliant result,” the president wrote.

“A result achieved solely by Ukraine. One year, six months, and nine days from the start of planning to effective execution. Our most long-range operation. Our people involved in preparing the operation were withdrawn from Russian territory in time,” Zelensky wrote on Facebook.

        Slaughterbots is likely where we’re headed. It’s a shame that humanity can’t figure out how to constructively coexist.

          The good news is, we have already come up with so many interesting ways to almost perfectly self-exterminate, precisely because we can’t constructively coexist. We are the problem, and the problem solves itself! … for the rest of the universe, anyway. This also probably conveniently answers the Fermi paradox, presuming that we have indeed reached one of the great filters and may be about to find out that our species won’t get to pass it due to our persistent inability to peacefully coexist.

          Yes, I was thinking that eventually people with critical thinking skills like you and me will simply be eliminated by “unidentified terrorists” and then our murders will be used to justify further backdoors and surveillance laws… Fuck this timeline.
