Russia Says It Will Ignore Any UN Ban of Killer Robots (ibtimes.com)
According a report from Defense One, a United Nations meeting in Geneva earlier this month on lethal autonomous weapons systems (LAWS) was derailed when Russia said they would not adhere to any prohibitions on killer robots. "The U.N. meeting appeared to be undermined both by Russia's disinterest in it and the framework of the meeting itself," reports International Business Times. "Member nations attempted to come in and define what LAWS' systems would be, and what restrictions could be developed around autonomous war machines, but no progress was made." From the report: In a statement, Russia said that the lack of already developed war machines makes coming up with prohibitions on such machines difficult. "According to the Russian Federation, the lack of working samples of such weapons systems remains the main problem in the discussion on LAWS... this can hardly be considered as an argument for taking preventive prohibitive or restrictive measures against LAWS being a by far more complex and wide class of weapons of which the current understanding of humankind is rather approximate," read the statement.
Stop this nonsense already. I'm from Ukraine, not one person apart from western regions of Ukraine who are mostly pro-nazi and pro-Bandera (Nazi collaborator during WW2, who killed 100s of 1000s of Jews, Russians, Polish to name a few) thinks that Russia occupied Ukraine or there is Russian troops in Donetsk or Lugansk regions. This is what your CNN is telling you. We don't want this coup government sell-outs, we don't want to be part of the "west", we want to live normal life as we did before this coup. Stop posting things that you know nothing about. What you a fed via CNN is a bull crap of lies.
