I forgot when Bush or Obama literally said they would run for another term. I still have my Obama 2016 hat.

If you think that Trump 2 is anything like any other presidency(including Trump’s first term), then i dont know what to say.

I am not even an american or give a fuck about DNC. It is basic math for a flawed electoral system. If you dont vote against Trump(or his successor), they will win. And the only alternative is the Democratic Party.

Your first priority as an american is to prevent the re-election of literal nazis. Your second priority is to change the “first past the post” electoral system. And then, once you remove the nazis out of government and have a functional electoral system, we can talk about third parties.

How can in good faith vote for a third party? What effect would that have? A vote for a third party, is a vote for the republicans. You assume that this would force the democratic party to lean more left? Bro, you probably wont even have free and fair elections, what are you talking about. We are not in a “we must change the democratic party” phase of reality, we are in “the next elections might not happen” phase.

There are places that are snowy most of the time and everything works just fine. It really isnt that bad if you are prepared and have appropriate infrastructure.

There is a reason there are no lions left in Europe, we killed them. We killed most wildlife and only recently we have tried to bring those somewhat large predators back(wolves, bears, etc).

I am pretty sure if there were polar bears in the Mediterranean, and the rest of the history remained the same, they would also be considered extinct or endangered.

All you need is a lot of humans and time and eventually all big animal threats will be eliminated.

Frieren too big to rig

Nukes is the least important part but even for nukes, numbers matter. It allows you to hit more targets with higher confidence that they wont be intercepted.

This is why China has gone into overdrive and pumping nukes like crazy, in order to reach relative equilibrium with the US and Russia.

Anyway, the amount of air refueling assets and flying radars Europe has are way fewer than needed because it was assumed that the US would be fighting alongside us. Same story with many other things.

Also because life is better in Europe, it is assumed there will be a lower political desire for casualties. Meanwhile for Russia, and especially rural Russia, going to war and even dying might be preferable for many people.

3 things

1. Without the US, Europe has significant capability holes(satellite, logistics, ground launched missiles, nukes)

2. Multiple smaller armies might be, in theory, an order of magnitude “stronger” than the Russian military but because of inefficiencies, overlap capabilities and lack of unified command structure and organizing, they are effectively a circus that cant do much.

3. Not all Europe will react the same and with the same urgency. A crisis(like russian soldiers occupying a small Baltic town) by definition will create huge cracks within Europe.

The main issue with american chocolates is that they taste like vomit because americans have associated that with chocolate. So american chocolate manufacturers add butyric acid in their chocolate so it can have that lovely characteristic taste. Butyric acid extends the shelf life of chocolate.

The rest of the world isnt a big fan of vomit for some reason.

John Bolton might be a hawk but he is pro NATO and anti-Trump(now). He might want to overthrow Maduro but he has no influence over the Trump administration nowadays.

In greek, bird is slang for penis(πουλί).

The Gulf War was about kicking Iraq out of Kuwait, after Iraq invaded. It had a wide support, both worldwide and within the Arab world. Saudi Arabia and Egypt actively participated.

Check the coalition drop down.

One of the main strategic goals of China is to not be reliant on oil/gas, because they have none. They have to import almost all of it(from Middle East) and if war happens, that would be a major strategic liability.

It is easier to get things done in the name of “national security”, instead of in the name “humanity’s survival”. A national security issue threatens the very existence of the state, humanity’s survival is too vague and who cares if it exists in the future, as long as the state survives.

Europe(and other countries), needs to act with the same urgency as China when it comes to the electrification of vehicles. Especially since there are actual national security issues that are caused by climate change(and potential chinese dominance in electric vehicles).

EA DICE(creators of Battlefield) is based in Sweden. EA Gothenburg(aka Ghost Games), creators of the Need for Speed games are also based in Sweden. Funcom, creators of Dune Awakening are swedish.

Avalanche Studios, creators of Just Cause games, are based in Sweden. Mojang, creators of Minecraft are swedish too. Frictional Games, creators of Amnesia and Soma are swedish. Fatshark, creators of Warhammer 40k Darktide are swedish.

It is important to note that nowadays, games are developed by devs all over the world, especially AAA games. But there are a lot of game devs based in Sweden.

I’ve read on Reuters that China is probably under promising and they will do better than they claim. At least China understands that climate change is real and is trying to do something about it. Unlike some other country. The bar is on the floor, yet some countries are struggling.

The more we normalize assassinations, the worse the world becomes. America is slightly more fucked today, not because this guy died, but because extrajudicial assassinations are not cool. This only accelerates the collapse of american society and rule of law.

Some tankies/accelerationists want this, but they are mostly clueless kids.

If 1 in 100 men is a rapist, then he can rape a lot more women than 1 in 100. Very few people are responsible for most occasions, similarly with divorces, etc.

Also why would anyone admit to being a rapist?

Genocide is a protected term. Only crimes against humanity in the Genoc region of Poland can be called that.

Carney has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.
