Looks like she's preparing some kind of barbie queue.
the mass of the required raw materials, let alone finished materiel, for Ukraine to win instead of just losing slowly is going to require serious commitment from a major industrial base.
the simple tonnage of nitrogen (can be got anywhere with air and power), lithium, copper, steel, aluminum, and silicon (think sheer km of fiber) mean somebody needs to step up.
cheap designs that avoid using hard to source materials, done at scale, and automated. more bang

War is what you get when the politicians won't do their jobs. And, as it happens, wars stop when the politicians go back to work.
In the in-between time, it's up to the military.

It seems an impromptu "Virgin Mary" nativity scene recreation is the order of the day
A dog is wrapped in a gray, plush blanket, lying on a patterned couch. The dog has a white and brown face with dark markings around the eyes, and the ears are floppy. The blanket covers most of the dogβs head, with only the snout and parts of the face visible, and one white paw is extended. The couch appears to have a floral or paisley pattern in shades of red and beige. The lighting is dim, and the scene has a cozy, relaxed feel.

in reply to earthling • • •Generative AI, and especially AI that is used to "personalize" and track your activity across the web and on your computer are never going to be in your best interest, it is always going to serve these companies in whatever way will line their pockets the most, and all it takes is updating their terms of service once, and then all of that data they promised they weren't collecting suddenly all belongs to them.
