The geopolitical influence that's been built up over decades will be gone in a year. No better time to be a nuclear scientist in a 1st or 2nd world country than right now. | ||

I'm not a fan of Blumpf's general attitude toward Ukraine but he's at least pretending it's all part of a plan to give Ukraine the best possible deal. Vance was just disgusting, I don't get why Drumpf chose him. He's not bringing any value to his team. Trump chose Vance for exactly one reason: he will heel, sit and fetch when Trump tells him to. | ||

My fucking blood is boiling just listening to it. I literally couldn't last the whole video because it was making me so angry. These clowns are such horrible assholes. It is absurd that Zelensky has to deal with this shit while his country is being invaded. Who can look at this shit and think "Yeah, this is what i want out of a leader for my country". Zelensky is 50 times the president that Trump could ever hope to be. | ||

Zelensky is 50 times the president that Trump could ever hope to be. Because they’re not actually looking for actual leadership. Look at Asmongold, who is currently the biggest political influencer on social media. He approaches politics like it’s Keeping Up With The Kardashians. It’s solely about the drama and nothing else. Look at the type of people who would reference Asmongold in a forum debate and read how they casually and jovially they talk about Trump’s desire to annex Canada. None of this is serious to them because it isn’t. You know how 90% of NBA fans don’t even watch the games and just talk about streamable lowlights, trade rumours, wild comments from players, and off-field drama? Change ‘NBA’ with ‘politic’ and that’s your typical viewer base of your typical new age right wing influencer. Its like a huge chunk of the world is gripped by some sort of sociopathic nihilism. | ||

Ben Shapiro, despite kinda doing the same thing, is still a political animal with political convictions. Asmongold is the new breed of political influencer that basically has no real political convictions beyond juicing politics for the content. The more “W Hilter” his chat types, the more content he creates for his brand of internet fascists and sociopathic nihilists. | ||

No better time to be a nuclear scientist in a 1st or 2nd world country than right now. Any country with nuclear power plants is potentially dangerous on a worldwide scale. Fallout doesn‘t care about where you live. It‘s everybody‘s problem. The best compromise they could hope for is to cede the separatist regions to Russia but as far as I know he wants more than that. I don‘t know. Greed kills. | ||

I agree, but up until the fallout reaches them they're gonna get paid handsomely to develop those nukes as fast as possible. South Korea and Poland first, then who knows, Germany? Taiwan? Long term even countries like Indonesia, Nigeria or Brazil might start looking into things. | ||

Countries still have to look at the business side of things which is a bit ridiculous when there’s more at stake than money. My hopes are not high when it comes to societal life expectancy. 50 years? 100 ? At the current rate it‘s developing into a FFA match but with super weapons and a stupid for profit system that relies on endless resources. Grim future. | ||

The only thing keeping most 1st world nations from developing nuclear weapons is the political decision not to do so. Countries like Japan, South Korea and Germany could achive it in no time. You can probably add Taiwan, the Netherlands, Poland and many others to the list. (random pics no disrespect) | ||

Trump gets his ego stroked and maybe he gets some basic respect, but after the interview that‘s hard to imagine. | ||
