I’ll take “people being shocked accused of resisting arrest” for 300!

Starmer was a human rights lawyer and he’s spent his term systematically dismantling peoples rights, a 180 is apparently the standard.

Its basically a phyric victory machine, the act of using it destroys anything of value in the territory gained including the abiltiy to even use the space itself.

I’m starting to doubt there have been ANY negotiations, Trump is straight up daydreaming this shit like those fights you always win in your imagination and then gets confused and thinks those imaginary negotiations were real.

iirc this a new not-war so gets is own deadline.

AFAIK the ceasefire ever existing was a myth? Trump just kinda declared it without anyone else agreeing and then everyone kept shooting anyway, Trump included.

Honestly I think its China just protecting its economy, western businesses are already finding that AI now costs more than just hiring humans and gives a worse output, the chinese government is just preventing their own economy from falling into the same trap.

All we did was completely annihilate the local environment and industries they depended on to survive, why would they do this!?

A nuclear arsenal to prevent certain countries from just randomly invading?

Got to hand it to them though, they’ve done a fantastic job of hastening European re-armament and ultimate independance from the US.

Option 1 is hope for a new beginning too depending on certain theories.
There’s a lot of fancy math involved that I don’t understand but the upshot is that mathematically a completely barren uniform universe and an infinitely dense point are technically identical and theoretically one could spontaniously become the other.

Most of the developed world has the same societal problems that boil down to, no one has the money, time or energy to have kids.

I’d say they’re hemorrhaging hard power too, the US strategy was always to immediately establish air dominance and then win from there, but it turns out that step 1 kinda just doesn’t work against people armed with more than old toyotas and tents. I’d still bet on the US to win if they just wanted to flatten some place but I’ve got serious questions on their ability to achieve a non-phyric victory against any near-peer after this display.

I think even with solar, wind, tidal and perfect grid storage nuclear is still worth investing in, simply because its a useful technology to have in some space travel applications, in some cases even more useful than fusion power would theoretically be.

Everyone hates getting stuck because it turns out that one tech from half the tech-tree ago was mandatory for progression.

‘To get your boy home in a box’ fits the tempo better I think.

This reminds me of the fall of multiple fictional empires that had rested on their laurels building overpriced wonder weapons that turned out to both too few in number and not all that wonderous when taken out of a white room and exposed to real battlefield conditions.

Didn’t he already partially do that? He also appears to be letting Russia (and no one else) through the blockade to sell oil to Cuba.

transactional? that implies the US has provided anything in return (to any of its allies) for the last decade.

And the rise in oil prices and removal of sanctions is pulling the russian economy out of the gutter while simultaniously drawing away air defence that would have otherwise been given to Ukraine (either directly or through European purchases)

I can’t tell if this is a moment from your real life or a bit of creative writing about a dystopian future.
