That sound you hear is Lange rolling in his grave as Luxon sells our Independent Foreign policy to the American Military Industrial Complex for 3 Magic Beans.
We are rapidly shedding any pretence of peace and diplomacy for a little brother sheriff routine for America.
It’s sickening.
And economically dangerous.
China is a complexity, of that there can be no doubt and the Chinese shadow banking has created a financial infrastructure for Meth cartels to gain a foothold here as part of Grey Zone warfare that sees Chinese gangs flooding the Pacific with meth.
These challenges must be confronted honestly, but we should not and do not want conflict with the Chinese as part of a war game for American Corporations.
This Government is rapidly tying us to American interests and pretending those are New Zealand’s interests!
Our interests are peace, not conflict.
We’re in the kill chain now baby..
NZ joins US military exercises deploying AI for ‘kill chains’
The Defence Force has been helping the US military with artificial intelligence-powered weapons to speed up what they call “kill chains”.
US reports show the NZDF is one of a half dozen militaries involved in regular exercises to link American and allied war-fighting technology more closely.
The Pentagon has been putting a lot more stress on getting allies on board to counter China.
In an exercise in California with six nations in March, a F35 jetfighter with AI-driven sensors instantly passed targeting data along the “kill chain” to an unmanned kamikaze drone.
In another exercise – also attended by New Zealand – the controversial surveillance firm Palantirsupplied a so-called “metaconstellation” of submarine-hunting satellites.
US military chiefs said they were getting to the point where the combined forces can join up their technology in a “kill web”.
“We’ve always aspired to get this ‘kill web’-type of capability as a joint and combined force, and we’re starting to get to that point,” said the US commander of the “global information domination” exercises (GIDE) New Zealand has been part of.
We are linking up to systems we can’t control here, and seeing as our own Intelligence Agency has been caught out loading NSA spyware into our own systems without any authority from the Civilian Executive, why can we trust Space infrastructure that allows real time target acquisition for real time execution based on the killing autonomy of a robot.
What could possibly go wrong?
Well, we won’t know because, you’re going to love this…
The New Zealand government recently shut down an expert advisory group on killer robots.
…hilarious.
The less scrutiny, the more we creep towards something we can no longer recognise.
I see Fiji is looking to China as a guide of how to become a successful country,not any one in the Aukus alliance that we will be signed upto very soon .
NZ and AUS think they can control the small nations but clearly that is not the case .China will have a wall of Island states to the north of us so we will then bow down and build massive navy and air bases for the USA and may well stock their atomic weapons here as well .As has been the case with every war we have been sucked into we are expendable and will take the brunt of any unrest .We will buy a couple of old mini ferries for the cook straight because the priority will be new war ships and planes and massive port facilities in places like Whangarei harbour for the US navy fleet .
Funny…..
I swear this US “adventure” was started by Ardern, followed by Hipkins and merely enacted by Luxon.
Also there is a vicious, vicious rumour that Ardern was part the DNC convention.
“I swear this US “adventure” was started by Ardern, followed by Hipkins and merely enacted by Luxon.”
How so? More context would be helpful.
Do you have your “own Intelligence Agency”?
New Zealander’s don’t. I look forward to everyone who has ever worked for GCSB and SIS being tried for treason.
It will be a long wait.
Martyn – While we are part of the 5 ‘I’s/Eyes (I have seen it spell both ways) …we are in the Kill Chain.
Have we ever been that neutral.Under both Labour and National if war had broken out there would have been no choice as to which side we were going to be on.
Where Britain goes New Zealand goes.
“Threat of China” blah blah blah.
“You must fear the yellow (or red) peril”, it’s all on repeat.
Nothing changes, USA’s insatiable drive to maintain world domination for its capitalist system and power structures is eternal.
Surely, as the proportion of non-citizen voters increases, successive election outcomes will shift further to the Left… surely. LMAO
How so ?all the Indians lined up and voted national because they thought National was going to stop crime over night ,which was another of their many lies .In return they got an 18% increase in crime
So a member of the shut down Advisory group thinks it is “disappointing” to be shut down. We need a rule that people criticising ridiculous Government decision making stop using that word. Always the go to word which makes it sound mildly annoying; how about “moronic; pathetic; ill informed; or dangerous” as alternatives to suggest but a few.
