    Im currently on the ostrich defence.

    I stopped watching the news, I blocked as much news as I can on here and reddit.

    Piece of piss.

      A friend of mine just got her first real break from her 3-yo-kid in a while… she caught up on the news… by the next day she was in the ER having a full panic attack she couldn’t stop.

      She’s a therapist.

    War is basically inevitable at this point

    Whatever your stance on the Pedophile Felon President, basically all of his policies are inevitable going to destroy the economy of the USA. Once that happens, the only option would be to use force internally to control the people and internationally to literally steal what they need to stay afloat

    The people of the USA are still deluding themselves that their military will be loyal to the people because they didn’t march super well for the Rapist in Chief that day… ignoring the military has followed every single idiotic order to date without as much as a follow up question

      We are in it already. Its an information and psy-ops war. Propaganda, fear, manipulation, controlling tech platforms, making people fight eachother over race, gender, whatever.

      This is why everyone feels anxious.

      Its not going to be a day when we see on the news that we are in a world war. Its ongoing and quiet.

      History books may say that it started around 9/11, but depends on who writes the history…

    And this is well before Trump’s announcement of nuclear testing resumption.

    If he actually goes through with it, everyone will know because it shows up on seismographs, something he’s apparently ignorant of… And the comission will surely move it closer.


    I am extremely concerned. There’s never been somone so unscientifically minded, with no one knowledgable on nuclear warfare advising him directly, with their finger on the button like this.

    And what’s annoying is that my relatives do not care. Even the scientifically minded ones. There is absolutely nothing Trump can do wrong, at least nothing that can get through without being warped and dismissed as hysteria. That in itself is scary, as there’s now no “political fallout” check on Trump’s actions until 401Ks literally evaporate.

      Remember, this is the same man that thinks the stealth bomber is literally invisible, or that you neutralize a magnet simply by getting it wet, or that you take fries out of the boiling oil with your hands (he learned you don’t while doing his pretend day at McDonald’s).

    If the fascists do attack Europe, it will be with overwhelming force across the ocean to destroy us, rather than invasion. I don’t really see a way we win that.

    Sure, we could fight back with our own nukes, but they number in the hundreds, and the USA is too large for that few to truly end the threat of renewed attacks :-(

      i dont think theres much chance of US attacking Europe at all. more likely the struggle could be many millions of starving russians hoping to move in without much employability.

    It’s a real concern, but Ukraine war is proceeding to its just conclusion. EU will accept it better than they let on. It’s expected that world will allow US war on Venezuela without any compassion, just weapons profits. Because resisting US through proxy war is more profitable than sinking its air carrier battle group, through nuclear strike/torpedo, there is less risk of doomsday than 1-2 years ago. Europe will try to get nuked though.

      A million dead on both sides and a Ukraine that is never safe within our lives while Russian billionaires make bank and Ukrainian billionaires join Juan Guiado and Jair Bolsonaro in Miami is hardly justice.

      Hell it’s not even a conclusion.

    I’ve been watching this clock for 40 years, also watched it get enshitified the last 20 years.

    It has always been a symbol of empire, run by many the same fools who enabled the madness. But the revolving door and who contributes got worse since the 1990s. And it’s just some thing now.

    They may be wrong or correct, who am I to know. But not to be relied on, I think

    It’s the great equalizer, everybody will suffer and die equally while those hiding in bunkers will be sealed in with concrete by angry ghouls.

    If I see a mushroom cloud I’m running towards it. No need to go to work, no need to pay back mortgage.
