“The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.”
Tom Clancy - bizarrely enough, I'd love to think that Clancy was actually an ironic comedic writer rather than a CIA based AI.

>So, your government doesn't trust its cops either, huh?
No, that's why we have a couple of regiments of elite guards units surrounding the head of state, although sometimes an illegal immigrant ursine predator does get past them.
But we avoid the problem of a bunch of nut-jobspatriots attempting to break in and hang the vice prime-minister by a cunning plan of nobody knowing or caring who he, or she, is.
>How do these people get into schools? Mine has keycard controlled doors
How did a kid get into a small town school in Texas?
Inconceivable - he must be Chuck Norris or a cyber-ninja assassin programmed by Bill Gates and George Soros to drop from a stealth black helicopter on wires like Tom Cruise in MI.
Or same way that Joe Biden got into the Texas Book depository to shoot Kennedy - nobody actually locks doors and door locks on small town schools vary slightly from those on missile silos or bank vaults.
Precisely, lots of other countries have nukular weapons but only the US used them.
So obviously having nuclear weapons isn't the issue
Therefore everyone should have the right to nukes - the 2nd amendment just says "bear arms" (*), it doesn't specify any limits.
(* an unfortunate bit of bad hand writing has led to a couple of centuries of unpleasantness when the founders just wished Americans to have a tasty treat comparable to Beaver Tails)
Ukraine's ability to prosecute the war doesn't depend on secure command&control links between military units.
It depends on meme-worthy videos of tractors capturing tanks being uploaded to Tik-Tok, featuring on American breakfast TV and the US public not getting bored.
>you'd blat the easily located civilian infrastructure underpinning the network on the ground,
They have satellite-satellite links, you only need an individual satellite to be in view of a ground station for optimal bandwidth.
blatting a ground station in a nearby NATAO country might lead to a serious self-own for the blatter
>so the immense cloud of debris the destruction would create wouldn't be likely to affect other spacecraft.
Unless you use explosives to inconvenience the target - at which point half the debris goes into higher orbits.
If you can arrange to disable them with a hammer then they will safely remain in the same low orbit.
'Primitive' women are those that can be shown topless on a magazine cover in a school library without the PTA having a fit of the vapours.
It would be an interesting experiment to determine exactly how 'primitive' they had to be before the AI determined that librarian was to go on a government list.
Car makers have a problem. Car dealers don't make money on new sales, they make it all on servicing and trade-ins. Electric cars don't need servicing,
Traditional car makers need a way of locking you into their dealer network permanently.
So arrange that the software is only available to dealers, and the license to the software in your car doesn't transfer with the car.
You now have a choice. Trade in your car to the dealer to buy this years model - or try and sell a used car that can't start because the engine management software is locked because it didn't get a 'security' update.
