        Which would leave other targets open to attack since we don’t have enough counter drone stuff to defend everything. We’re playing chess here not checkers.

          Maybe the goal is to waste interceptors on a shitty data center thats going to get blown up anyway because the interceptors dont work

            Or to distract the interceptor response

            Can you fucking imagine if Bezos or Altman are bribing Israel to prioritise their data centres over human life (I await the articles from military leakers)

        The interceptors aren’t working against the hypersonic missiles. Besides, the goal isn’t annihilation, it’s deterrence. Threatening the data centers creates domestic pressure on the government. Trump cares about the market more than anything else. Blowing up the AI bubble will be catastrophic

          I love how the “theocratic regime” is proving that they have a much better understanding of the material forces keeping the empire together, than most people in the empire itself
