Quote:Once again, you made my point: Our politicians don't care about anyone but themselves.
SECOND: The USA has spent many $trillions to build an H-bomb delivery machine to destroy Russia and hasn't used it because of American politics, not because of constant Russian threats to nuke the USA. [DEFENSIVELY, OR AS A RETALIATORY STRIKE- SIGNY] Russians don't seem to understand that Mutually Assured Destruction is not protecting them from American nukes. Russia is being protected because Presidents are worried about their political party being reelected. Repeating Hiroshima on Moscow is a 100% guaranteed way to lose the next election. The aftermath of a nuclear war? Nuclear Winter? The Road Warrior scenario of a ruined Earth? Worries about that are secondary to being reelected, but politicians don't want to admit that they care less about the end of the world (EOTW) than about the next election.
Quote:
SECOND: If the politicians cared about EOTW, they would make climate change the top priority, but nowhere do politicians react that way because the enormous expense to immediately prevent climate change would mean they don't get elected. Reelection is the top priority, not preventing the EOTW.
Yes, it's a pity that our political class is almost to a person utterly corrupted, isn't it?
Worse, there are batshit crazy ideologues in the permanent state constantly driving this herd of nincompoops towards war. And the nincompoops don't mind, as long as they can get up on a pulpit ... er, podium ... and bray about America!!! and the "enemy du jour", and (oh, by the way) scrape more of that war $$$ into their pockets.

SECOND: The Russians do love to mention Hiroshima, but they didn't understand the consequences for weaklings such as themselves. The Russians should be very careful, assuming they don't want to die screaming in a fire, because the US will nuke them, but every single time Russia walked up almost to the edge of nuking the US, some lower-level Russian refused to push the button. Americans won't refuse and their nukes actually are reliable and very accurate. Russians have their doubts about their equipment:
Did you intend to make my point? Bc it sounds like you agree: the USA will resort to first-use of nukes.
Not to mention that when we send them, the Russians WILL send them right back too.
America isn't going to nuke Russia. Russia isn't going to nuke America.
This is a stupid argument.
If either of you are losing sleep over this, stop doing that.

Im not losing any sleep over this. Not because there aren't crazy people in DC who would stumble us into a nuclear WWIII (bc they're always escalating to threats, sanctions, and kinetic warfare and ... literally ... can't imagine doing anything else. Yanno, ppl exactly like THUGR*, but who make the decisons) but bc there isn't a damn thing I can do about it.
I have much more immediate things to plan for.
*And if you think ... "No, they can't be that stupid" .... just listen to people like Germany's Foreign Minister, Annalena "360" Baerbock. Or Biden. Or Blinken, or the head of NATO Stoltenberg, or Rishi Sunak or (Lord) David Cameron (UK's Foreign Secretary), or Ursula "van der Crazy" or "Jungle" Josep Borrell.
Or any number of the interchangeable bimbos heading those insignificant countries.(Sorry ladies, but you weren't picked for your smarts.)
And here is a description of Macron's overstepping the line of direct conflict with Russia: Deploying French troops to Ukraine to "help" them run their air defenses and perform other covert activities. Russia killed, they say, about 200 French "mercenaries" when it struck a hotel in Kharkov. For now, everyone is still calling them "mercenaries" but apparently the French Ambassador to Russia was dressed down, with evidence, and a message was sent to Macron that a repetition of serving French troops in Ukraine would be considered an act of war, and are legitimate targets.

The only people I think are "stupid" enough to throw a nuke are Muslims who are actual Muslims and would do it for their god.
Nobody else.
Not Russians. Not Americans. Not Europeans. Not China. Not North Korea.
Everybody who doesn't have them wants them, just so they can pretend to throw their little dicks around, but nobody has any interest in starting the end of the world and certainly doesn't want to be the one who is known as the person who started the end of the world.
AI is a problem though.
ETA: Yanno... I re-read your post and I think I see where you're going there.
Maybe the problem is decades upon decades of everybody taking Mutually Assured Destruction for granted and deciding to start doing what we haven't been doing to countries with nukes because we Know they won't use them.
Russia isn't going to nuke America, or any of the larger and more powerful EU countries. America certainly isn't going to nuke anybody... (Directly... But could and would by proxy if given the opportunity to do it in a way where they couldn't be caught).
I could see a smaller incident happening with a non-world power. Just something to get the fear ramped up to 11 among people who weren't even born the last time a nuke did go off, which is a lot of us.
You think the youth of America is terrified of climate change? Or you were disgusted by how they were cheerleading vaccine mandates or rounding up people who wouldn't get them into concentration camps? Just wait until they live through actual nukes going off half a world away.

Good. That's my whole point.
I don't think there's any chance we've got a nuclear WWIII happening in our future, but even if there was there wasn't any single thing any one of us could have done to stop it from happening.
And really, there's nothing we could do to prepare for living in a world after it happened either. Those "Doomsday Preppers" might be giving themselves a few weeks or even months more than everybody else gets, but who the hell knows what happens when their provisions run out, especially when things like power and running water aren't working anymore. I don't think that life is going to be one that most people would care to live anyhow. More power to them, I guess.
Me? I'm done worrying about all that bullshit. What's going to happen is going to happen. There's a life to live right now and I have no desire to spend any more of it worried about what if scenarios.

Quote:Stupid is not the right word. These people have excellent brains. They are highly articulate. They can make complex arguments, speaking for hours, to persuade people that their plans make sense and you should vote for them as the best people to achieve those plans. But the plans, oh, those are so silly. I'll give you an example from Putin, rather than an American politician, with a silly plan:

Putin stokes tensions with US, declares 1867 sale of Alaska 'illegal'
Interestingly, Vladimir Putin appears to have rethought the sale of Alaska to the Americans. It's not a joke: he's trying to give the impression that his influence extends not only to his country's future events but also plans to rewrite the past. Therefore, he signed a decree rendering the sale of Alaska illegal.
This is likely the beginning of a request for its return from the United States.
Putin and his propaganda specialists persistently build an image of Russia as an empire that makes demands against its neighbors and, if unheeded, resorts to war and other consequences. As witnessed in previous years with Georgia and Moldova, Ukraine experienced similar tactics as it was attacked by its neighboring country in 2022.
It appears that Moscow has claims against the United States now.
Vladimir Putin signed a decree declaring the sale of Alaska to the USA as illegal. This action signals the start of a demand for the territory's return and potentially entering into conflict with the superpower. However, this is just political posturing today, and no rational person would suggest that Russia could assault the United States. Nonetheless, as the saying goes, a continuous drip can erode a stone.
"Before Americans seize our properties abroad, they should remember, we also have something to reclaim." - stated Vyacheslav Volodin, the chairman of the State Duma, during a plenary sitting in the summer of 2022. At the time, Russians reacted nervously to the US-imposed sanctions on Moscow.
This propaganda tactic may not intimidate Washington's authorities but perfectly illustrates the Kremlin's new approach to international politics and its respect for agreements. Today in Russia, a fact clear and not disputed for years - that the Americans purchased Alaska legally in 1867 for $7.2 million - means nothing.
Interestingly, Alaska plays a significant role in the relationship between both countries. The USAF bases and USARAK (American Arctic military forces) are stationed here. Centers found in Fort Greely and Eielson are equipped with advanced machinery through which Americans could quickly launch an attack on Russia, including nuclear warheads.

Signym, by the way, Putin declared Crimea was illegally in Ukrainian possession, just like he declared Alaska is, at this moment, illegally in American possession. We all know what Putin did to Crimea. Alaska is next. Smart-brained Putin makes silly plans.

I've got a post history dating back to 2006 that says otherwise.
Case in point, this whole Trump thing isn't going the way you said it would be.
Coal burning cars are going away.
I bought a house with cash after a market crash and haven't paid a rent or mortgage for going on 13 years.
I paid off my debt in 2005 and never went into debt again.
Go. Fuck. Yourself. Loser.

Back to WWIII.

Quote:
The assault on American troops based at Al Asad Air Base in western Iraq on Saturday night was by one measure the most successful believed to be carried out by a militia sponsored by Iran since the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on Oct. 7. Two out of an estimated 17 rockets and short-range ballistic missiles fired at the base made it through air defense systems. An unspecified number of American military personnel were reported injured, but none were said to have been killed.

Ok, so again ... WHAT are we doing in Iraq? Parliament has told us to leave several times already. We're not "fighting terror", we're not protecting ourselves or an important source of oil, we're not rebuilding the country, so ....???
Other than itching for a fight, or wanting to throw our weight around ... maybe distract from the clusterfuck that is NATO in Ukraine?

Too late!
Yanno, somebody once characterized Joe as an "angry old man". He's like the codger yelling at the neighbors' kids to stop walking on his sidewalk.
The problem is, he's got neocons egging him on, and military yes-men who can't seem to set him.straight.
So we're being run by delusional ideologues, a demented old man, and a bunch of weasely cowards.
