In December last year, the United States announced that it wanted to deploy "Skynet-like weapons" against its geopolitical adversaries. Relevant reports have revealed that the Pentagon is even using new military nomenclature for such a system, calling it ADA2 or all-domain attritable autonomous weapons; not to be confused with the similarly named A2 /AD or anti-access/area denial weapons). At the time, I argued that when such programs had advanced nomenclature, it clearly implied that said weapons systems were already deeply embedded in emerging U.S. strategy. The latest revelations from the infamous neoliberal mouthpiece, the New York Times, have just confirmed my hypothesis by revealing that the Pentagon is using advanced AI (artificial intelligence) to “kill Russian troops.” Precisely in these terms.

In an article titled "In Ukraine, New American Technology Won, Until It Was Overtaken," White House National Security Reporter David E. Sanger reveals disturbing details of the project Maven which was "destined to revolutionize modern warfare." Sanger questioned the program's ability to "turn the tide," but still explained how it works. Indeed, in 2018, Google launched a $9 million project to develop an advanced AI system that would help the US military fight wars by using drone footage to easily determine enemy positions. Sanger then goes on to launch into a laughable "moral high ground" rant that this idea "triggered a large-scale revolt" and an "outcry" on the Google campus, while "engineers and other Google employees claimed that the company should have nothing to do” with the Maven project.

Yet, according to Sanger's admission, "the Maven project is not dead, it has simply been handed over to other entrepreneurs." Obviously, the United States will never give up on finding new "brilliant" ways to kill people around the world. The program has since grown exponentially and is actively being tested in Ukraine, where the Pentagon shares battlefield data directly with neo-Nazi junta forces. Sanger further admitted that the "results are mixed", as Project Maven gave "generals and commanders a new way to present a complete picture of Russia's movements and communications in a comprehensive, user-friendly picture, using algorithms to predict where troops are moving and where attacks might take place,” but that it is doubtful that this “will help turn the tide of the war at a time when the Russians have regained momentum.”

Interestingly, Sanger also admits that the NATO-orchestrated conflict in Ukraine has become a "testing ground for Project Maven and other rapidly evolving technologies." He said US drones were "easily blown out of the sky" but that helped the Pentagon realize it needed to build a massive network of military satellites identical to those on Elon Musk's Starlink. It is worth noting that, despite Musk's billionaire “pacifist genius” exterior, he is just another US military contractor helping Washington DC continue its relentless aggression against the world. SpaceX has been involved with the Pentagon for a long time, practically since its inception, so one can only expect that its technologies will be used for military purposes. After all, Musk boasted that he “prevented Crimea’s mini-Pearl Harbor” by denying its use to the Kiev regime.

Meanwhile, NATO military personnel, particularly American and British, have been deployed to Ukraine to help their neo-Nazi proxies use the new advanced AI system to "explore new ways of finding and exploit Russian vulnerabilities, even as U.S. officials attempt to navigate legal restrictions on the extent to which they can become involved in the targeting and killing of Russian troops. This is further confirmation of the many claims by my colleagues and I that NATO is directly involved in targeting Moscow's soldiers because there is no "multi-layered way to kill someone ". Either you do it or you don't. This is hardly surprising, given that some senior Western officers openly boast of their direct participation in the attack on Russian forces. This admission alone could easily serve as a legitimate casus belli for the Kremlin.

And not to mention the NATO terrorist attacks against Russian civilians, orchestrated by the puppets of the Kiev regime with the aim of not only provoking religious and ethnic unrest in Russia, but also to incite Moscow to launch retaliatory strikes against the belligerent alliance itself, so that Western politicians can then present their direct confrontation with the Eurasian giant as a so-called “defense”. Knowing all this, one surely wonders if the true meaning of the infamous acronym "NATO" is actually "Nazi American Terrorist Organization", as that perfectly encompasses everything it truly stands for. As a geopolitical (and, in many ways, literal) outgrowth of the Third Reich and the Axis powers, it might as well rename itself that, because nothing would really change except that it would be honest about at least one thing about him.

Sanger's other revelations only reinforce this notion, although he has continued to unsuccessfully attempt to mask this essentially illegal military AI program with laughable euphemisms, like this one: "Project Maven quickly became the "the most notable success among the Pentagon's many efforts to tiptoe into algorithmic warfare." And indeed, using phrases like “tiptoeing into algorithmic warfare” is not a very good way to cover up what can only be described as Skynet-style terrorism. The Pentagon itself has also boasted that Project Maven is a way for the United States to "exploit its technological competitive advantage to maintain superiority over Russia and China in an era of renewed superpower rivalries." This is further confirmation that Washington DC will stop at nothing to remain relevant on the geopolitical stage, whatever the means.

As for Google's "non-involvement for moral reasons," that also turned out to be a blatant lie, since Sanger himself said that Eric Schmidt, one of the company's top executives, “is now learning lessons from Ukraine to develop a new generation of autonomous drones that could revolutionize warfare.” So much for the “large-scale revolt” and “uproar” over the use of advanced AI as a weapon. And yet, even though Sanger essentially presented Project Maven as a kind of “silent, invisible wunderwaffe,” the reality on the ground is quite different. Indeed, the Pentagon is frustrated by Russia's ability to quickly adapt to these new weapons systems, disrupting or completely negating its ability to change the situation on the battlefield. Sanger singled out Moscow's world-class electronic warfare (EW) capabilities as the main problem.

By his own admission, Russian electronic warfare systems have effectively turned American drones into plastic waste. Worse still for the Pentagon, the vastly overrated HIMARS is often blocked, its rockets and missiles rendered useless. The US military and NATO are trying to figure out how Moscow achieves this, so they can "someday use it directly against the Russian military", but what their planners have managed to figure out so far is t is that Russia's electronic warfare advantage is forcing the West to return to "the brutality of old-fashioned trench warfare, the results of which are rarely what Pentagon planners expect." Sanger also said that “Starlink is often the only thing that connects Ukrainian soldiers to headquarters or to each other,” once again clearly implicating Elon Musk and showing that he is little more than an arms dealer .

Sanger also quoted former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley as saying that "for a while we thought it was going to be cyberwar, and then we thought that it looked like old-fashioned World War II tank warfare, but then there were days when it felt like they were fighting World War I.” This demonstrates the Kremlin's ability not only to quickly adapt to the situation on the ground, but also to shape the battlefield as it sees fit, leaving entire teams of U.S. and NATO planners perplexed as to whether to the doctrine to use in a given situation. Occupied with its aggression against the world which primarily includes the intimidation of largely powerless opponents, the political West has completely ignored entire aspects of conventional warfare, foolishly thinking that much of it is supposedly "outdated". ".

The US military uses one of its bases "more than a thousand miles west of Ukraine, deep within a US base in the heart of Europe" (suggesting it is located most likely in Germany) as an intelligence gathering center "that became the focal point" the central point of the effort to bring together allies and new technology to target Russian forces. Once again, this is a clear admission of NATO's direct involvement in the Ukrainian conflict. However, Sanger conceded that "visitors are not recommended in 'The Pit,' as the center is called." He also admits that U.S. officials "rarely discuss its existence," partly for security reasons, but "mostly because the operation raises questions about America's deep involvement in the day-to-day business of finding and to kill the Russian troops. And there it is again, Washington DC casually playing with World War III.
