Yes, the UCSD p-system virtual machine -- basically the same idea as the JVM and .NET but decades earlier -- compile to a virtual machine and deploy to anywhere you had the VM deployed. It was the basis of the Apple Pascal system which was basically an operating system onto itself (on the Apple II, it was used most famously for the early dungeon crawler Wizardry)
The US would drag all of the rest of the civilised world to war with it, as they kinda did with the proxy war of Ukraine. The US+allies could probably take down China+allies. But if this happens, we are all, gloriously fucked.
I wish countries in macro level geopolitics did not behave like prepubescent boys trying to share the same toy
>The US would drag all of the rest of the civilised world to war with it, as they kinda did with the proxy war of Ukraine.
Many countries were more than willing to be involved and didn't need any dragging at all, e.g. the Baltics, Poland and the UK who are by now sick of all the poisonings on their territory the KGB has been blatantly carrying out over the years.
If NATO wasn't as expansive, Russia probably wouldn't have invaded. Just ask the average person if they want a proxy war between major nuclear powers, at a time where global systems are already stretched after a mishandled pandemic.
Ask the average Joe if they want WWIII, because imperialist powers can't keep their hands in their pockets.
>If NATO wasn't as expansive, Russia probably wouldn't have invaded.
Probably?! Probably...??
I don't think even the average propaganda punch drunk Igor on the street believes this tired old excuse for the invasion of Ukraine any more.
>Ask the average Joe if they want WWIII, because imperialist powers can't keep their hands in their pockets.
Actually, we should turn that around and ask the average Russian on the street, since it's their country being imperialist, and their mobics dying in a foreign land. Ask them why they voted for it.

The only thing keeping Russia in check in eastern Europe in anyway, shape or form is NATO.
NATO expansion stops Russian aggression not the other way around, but I know the forever belied Russia must always be a victim of some nefarious plot from the entire world.
The only way to stop Russias numerous wars in Eastern Europe and there dangerous escalation is to have them dealt a decisive defeat in Ukraine.
I'm curious why, even if you were going to approximate it, it would be rounded up to the nearest decimal rather than rounded in the standard way to 3.1?
