Russia drafted a 28 point surrender plan, handed it to the Trump team, and the regime delivered it to Kyiv unedited, demanding Zelensky sign it by Thanksgiving or lose all US support. Trump and Vance then promoted the plan exactly as Russia wrote it, verbatim, on TV, online, and in person.

Completely agree with this. And I don’t even think it has to be intentional. A tool is for what it does, after all.

Whenever someone shares a performance comparison of programming languages, many folks are surprised to see
#Java
rank up very high. I think by now it's kinda criminal how underrated Java and the JVM are in circles not familiar with it. This misconception is the biggest challenge for this platform.
