NO MORE ELECTIONS: Creepy convo takes place as World Economic Forum (WEF) Founder Klaus Schwab, and Google co-founder Sergey Brin, appear to take us BACK a few centuries, not forward, in political progress.

Schwab says that future technology will eliminate the need for elections.

🗣 “Digital technologies have an analytical power - now we go into a predictive mode. Why do we need elections, when we know what the result will be?" - Schwab says.

🗣"Why do we need to have elected leaders at all?" - Brin asks, when you can have all the decisions made [by predictive A.I assumably.]

And just like that, we've gone to a time before representative democracy, where authority is not of the people and for the people - it is unseen, and unaccountable over people.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Alina Polyakova, Kiev-born CEO of the Center for European Policy Analysis (Washington DC think-tank) explains to CNN why the Ukrainian counter-offensive is failing.

1. Expectations were too high.
2. Russia controls airspace.
3. Russian landmines, trenches, artillery.

Does Alina propose to tell us that Ukraine's Western partners didn't know about Ukraine's stark lack of military advantage, before they sent 400k Ukrainian soldiers to their deaths?

04:00 Furthermore, her solution is that U.S. taxpayers SHOULD equip Ukraine with long-range missiles capable of reaching deep into Russian territory, because FRANKLY nuclear war is a "red herring."

"Russia wouldn't go toward the nuclear decision", even if supply lines DEEP within Russia are destroyed - Polyakova is assured. Taking into account Russia runs the Operation on military targets only, would Putin need a NUKE to disrupt the nightclubs and parties in today's rather peaceful Kiev?
