Here, from the horse's mouth:

Summary

Assuming Google AI search gives 1 lie in 10 answers (10%), it is roughly one-eighth of a Trump (0.125).
In other words, you would need 8 AI lies to equal the concentration of misinformation found in a single normalized Trump output.
Would you like to apply this "Trump" unit to other historical figures or tech benchmarks to see how they stack up?

Scorn? Quite the opposite, I find his stubbornness when he knows he's wrong, but won't back down, very amusing. So I provide him with opportunity to deliver amusement when I can.

I don't think he takes my little jabs in his direction any more seriously that I take his in my.

at least he wasn't dumb enough to think there was "plunder" to be had

Literally the first thing the dubya admin did, right after the inauguration, was to establish the Cheney Energy Task Force, which planned privatization of Iraqi oil by US companies, without bidding, over a year before the 2003 war. The outcome was a bunch of contracts that companies close to the administration "won" and made money from.

The full plan for taking over the Iraqi oil deposits by no-bid "privatization" to US companies did eventually fall apart, but to pretend plunder plans weren't the main reason for the war is just ridiculous in the face of so many long-established facts to the contrary.

It's 20-fucking-26, and dumbasses are still spreading the fucking "lives for oil" meme?

You must have missed the January 3rd joint operation of the Little Cartel of Rodriguez and the Trump crime family in Venezuela and the "oil deal", which trumpy thought will apply in Iran as well.

Ah, well, your disconnect with reality is well-known.

It used to be the case that the testing permits for drones (esp. small ones) were easier to obtain, but the rules were recently tightened across the board. Be that as it may, for an aircraft of this size the paperwork needed by the Chinese FAA equivalent is nearly identical to the one for a manned unit.

You'll definitely need an air worthiness certification, which is hard to get and identical for both types. For the normal airplane, you'll also need a licensed pilot, for the drone - a licensed/certified operator, which would be a bit less strict, but not significantly so. You'll also need air traffic control approval, etc.

TL;DR: nearly the same requirements.

Yes, it means you're full of shit.

So, how is it, have the bad Iranians given in yet? Is the complete victory announced 3 weeks ago complete now? Give us the full, true insight from the "Iranian sources", don't hold anything back.

You could even link to them, whether Yisrael Hayom, Maariv, TrufSoshul or the Babylon bee.
