I don’t think it’s positive for peace. The pax-Americana has been one of the most peaceful times in all of history. Without them we are likely to go back to big countries picking on small countries again and other small regional conflicts as there is no recourse for doing so.
Did you read the article? Standard traffic cameras or sensors are all you need to implement this. And yes, most places have the technology already in place to do most of it. You just need to add the part to network them and control the lights.
China already “solved” it with the one child policy. They will have the most massive population decline ever in the coming decades. It will probably destroy their economy.
I would be happy for sensors at traffic lights that detect whether cars are there or not. I don’t consider that to be meaningful surveillance.
Then we can enslave humanity with the AI slave

This is exactly why I dropped out of college for computer science when I got my first IT job. 30 years later and I haven’t regretted it yet.
No!?! Watch me!!!
What coalition would you rather see? It would take a lot of parties to do one without SPD or AfD.
Interesting. I hadn’t seen that. But if you feel you misinterpreted it, does that mean the grand coalition is the most likely outcome?
You don’t think the grand coalition will return? It seems like the most likely outcome.
We never really left the 1800’s, did we?
I should have known it would take less than a day for this new world leader to dash my hope for him.
As much as I would have liked to see The guarantee was far from iron clad. I believe the only security guarantee was this one:
"Seek immediate Security Councilaction to provide assistance to the signatory if they “should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used”.

This only works if you are the more powerful one in the negotiation.
I use them. I use platforms more that have them. I leave platforms that don’t.
But to each their own I guess.
I think it’s the exact opposite, he’s tearing down all the sources of soft power and goodwill that this peace was based on. He’s going back to the merchantilist and imperialist “every man for himself” strategies of the 1800s.
