Ep 5815 - Dave DeCamp: Troubling Developments from the War in Ukraine - 12/15/22
Dave DeCamp joined Scott on Antiwar Radio this week to run through some of the latest news about the war in Ukraine. The two discuss the U.S. and British personnel on the ground in Ukraine and the American plans to send more. They also talk about the U.S. plan to send Patriot missiles and the Ukrainian strikes deep in Russian territory. Lastly, they touch on the fading likelihood of peace negotiations as NATO eagerly prepares for this war to continue for years.
David Vine, author of Island of Shame, discusses the thousand or so US military bases spread out among most of the world’s countries; the enormous profits gained by contractors for building and supporting bases abroad; rampant waste, fraud and criminal activity that goes unpunished; and the latest setback for Diego Garcia’s forcibly expelled natives, the Chagossians.

Michael Klare joins Scott to talk about his recent article, “Alexa, Launch Our Nukes!”, about the dangers of a future where our weapons systems are controlled by artificial intelligence—indeed they already are to an ever greater extent. Computers of course have a big advantage over humans in processing lots of data quickly, so they can conceivably do a much better job calculating when and where to fire weapons, running simulations of different battle scenarios, distinguishing valid targets based on image recognition, etc. What they can’t do is make the type of decision that might involve losing a conventional war rather than starting a nuclear war. Moreover, computers are only as good as the humans programming them, and those humans can and do make mistakes. Unfortunately we have a tendency to trust computers as inherently immune to mistakes.
