Well that’s not terrifying at all. Pretty sure this is gonna escalate things way faster than anyone’s ready for

Last week it was the Russians funnelling satellite info to Iran. Better double down and use the fear of AI and China to manufacture consent for forever wars. The US could simply get their shit and go home, but they want this to be WW3.

In case anyone is wondering if WWIII has started already.
It did.

Yeah, that’s how smart bombs work. Global positioning satellite honing and steering the munition to its destination.

They’ve only killed 13 Americans. Obviously they’re not THAT precise.

ie yes china is a developed modern nation state that also has sovereign areospace capabilities, and ergo can – surprise! – do the same satellite precision targeting that we can. (and they have their own military tier GPS. which funny enough US / israeli US-GPS spoofing / EW doesn’t work so well against. Whoops)
given that the US already set a clear precedent for this in ukraine (and to be clear I do fully 100% support ukraine). erm yeah why exactly *wouldn’t* russia + china supply realtime high precision targeting information to the iranians. And tech support. Financing. And heck anti-air + anti-ship missile systems, and antipersonnel drones, and all other weapon systems en masse. Via mind you through the caspian (ie *tehran*), which mind you the US has f—- all control over. And if need be via azerbaijan, and everywhere else. There is absolutely no way – as an american – that any further escalation or ground ops would work out even remotely well for the US.
if you wanted to appreciably *degrade* US military capabilities. And/or if nothing else just tie the US up somewhere. And probably to the point of destroying US alliances, and plausibly even triggering a debt crisis.
Yeah, *this* idiot admin will be handing all of that over on a platter, if they keep escalating. And the US gets sucked into *any* form of ground war, in iran.
In other news. Yes, Aussie + other US allies should *probably* GTFO of US military bases in MENA. All of those ARE valid military targets by iranian + iranian proxies, given the US is – mind you totally illegally + *unconstitutionally* – at war w/ Iran
And b/c chinese palantir really isn’t going to care or be able to tell if some rando logistics officer in a backwater US MENA base is american, aussie, or anything else
If you *don’t want to be targeted from space*, by *waves hands at literally anything that can be moved to and hit you*, maybe don’t end up in a f—-ing illegal hot war, in a totally unjustified *and* unprovoked war of aggression, that is *rapidly* moving up / towards total war territory, by the US govt.
Which is *supposedly* (lol, lmao even) small-d democratic and directly accountable, via congress, to the US public. (and nvm congress, SCOTUS, and *article I* of the f—-ing constitution)

BeiDou has been globally operational since 2020 and offers comparable precision to GPS, with regional enhancements that can be even more accurate. The real shift isn’t just the tech, it’s that global positioning is no longer dominated by a single system.
Wait until this happens in China’s backyard, that’s when we will see its true power in coordination with other comms related systems to drive offense and defense.

It’s totally not like the u.s. has anti-satellite missiles that could deal with this in a heart beat.

Qwen3.5 working overtime, I see.

Good, hopefully they can help them defeat America’s war of aggression and cause heavy casualties for Americans forces.

All that flapping gums during Covid about the China virus is paying off.

Im incredibly stunned. It’s so shocking that one could walk into a fight arena, announce you’re going to fight everyone, and they had the gall to __punch back__. So gay and inconsiderate and not nice.

Way to make China look like the good guys. I hope the Iranians make excellent use of the data

Oh no, Trump will lay out (empty) threats to China now.

What is “AI” about those satellites? Or are you just adding the word “AI” to everything?
Left_on_Pause on
I’d like to see their images. What’s happening over there that the US wants hidden so badly? I know in general, but i think we’d feel different if we saw the deviation

Meanwhile all American AI can hit are schools and apartments
FizzyFuzzyBign-Buzzy on
If a war ever breaks out between U.S. and China, satellites are going to become military targets. There’s no way you just leave that alone right? So then the world flies blind at that point?
ThePromise110 on
Yeah. And. So. What?

Guys. Don’t tell em.

Chinese satellite companies have been posting us movements and sites publicly on X in real time. Iran can buy that information directly via commercial channels in china and still get better capabilities than they have at home. And for the record, china is source of drones for the UAE, ukraine and russia so theyre selling to all sides.
