At least Biden was surrounded by competent advisors.

What happens if you cover up the TV's camera with a PostIt note. Will that work?

New means of communication lead to periods of war. The Gutenberg press led to two hundred years of religious wars. Mass communication by radio and the press led to 20th century wars. The internet/AI may well lead to another round of wars. Even if the next war is nuclear, it will not lead to the extinction of mankind.

Now, in response to revelations of US electronic surveillance by the National Security Agency, Russia’s Federal Protection Service, which protects top state officials including President Vladimir Putin, has ordered 20 typewriters, as well as 600 ink cartridges for them
