US Election & Presidency

and rightly so but what really shall be tested is its 'implementation' and ultimately its 'Political Will' which often defers to an emphasis on 'Inward Investment' over social constructs.

That's a false equivalence, unless you're suggesting underage girls are acceptable on a babeshow, as long as it was only daytime tv.

Both of you would make excellent opposition politicians.
You claim to recognise there's a problem, criticise the Governments attempts to deal with it, yet offer no alternative solutions.

Grok isn't explicit.

I wouldn't miss it. It's a vanilla offering that can be amusing to mess around with. There are better AI creation tools out there.

Non-consensual dissemination of such imagery is already a crime.

You're missing the point somewhat. It isn't limited to Grok. Grok is just the headline grabber.

Correct. The loophole in the current legislation lies with the creation of the images.

I am beginning to think that half his rants and threats are down to him not winning the Nobel Peace Prize and possibly any mental stress. I mean if FIFA were to turn round and ask him for his FIFA Peace Prize back, he would lose it completely. And now with his travel ban on fans, we could be seeing one of the worst attended World Cups in history. I have seen on FB posts on NATO and Greenland and which countries are siding with Denmark, do we actually know what number of British troops would likely be involved and would King have a final say on this?

Were all sending troops to show the U.S. it is defendedable by Europeans from russian and chinese influence. Not fighting the yanks. You lot are clueless/stupid/think the world is a movie.

It's not really about the Russians and Chinese. Trump could've reopened all the US bases and stationed as many troops there as he wanted, and I doubt Denmark would've objected.

Now though, you couldn't be sure you weren't just allowing an occupying force into the country...

Papaya Palpatine is now threatening to put Tariffs on Countries who don't go along with his plan to grab Greenland.

The US literally have a treaty with Denmark that allows them to pretty much build as many bases as they want. It's also a part of NATO and home to an existing US base, the two mean Russia and China would never even think about touching it.

It's not about security, it's about the potential wealth of untapped resources there. A lot of companies have gone bust trying to extract them, harsh conditions. Global warming may make it easier in future.
