  • The Nuclear Doomsday Clock is currently closer to midnight than at any point during the Cold War, the looming threat now is worse by that metric.

    ...

    India and Pakistan both have nukes, and are currently engaged in 'kinetic' conflict.

    The Russians have a good deal of nukes, of which a good % probably still actually work, and they have often threatened to use them in the ongoing conflict in/with Ukraine, which of course also involves many, just barely short of 'directly involved', nuclear armed NATO members.

    Israel has nukes, they routinely and doctrinally threaten to use them against basically everyone (look up the Samson option / doctrine), prompting Iran to attempt to develop their own nukes, which now looks like they're closer to actually achieving thanks in large part to Trump horrendously mismanaging foreign policy.

    North Korea has nukes, and they love to threaten Japan and South Korea with them.

    China has nukes, and, as far as I am aware, are less belligerent in terms of specifically threatening to use nukes, they are quite belligerent in their claims of territorial sovereignty over Taiwan.

    And now the US has gone full fascist, and we kinda have a good number of nukes as well, and our big, orange clown boy has threatened Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Panama, I forget how many others.

    The recently proposed 'Golden Dome' is a callback to the SDI, 'Star Wars', which was never fully realized back in the 80s in part due to the fact that if this actually worked, it would destabilize the MAD, Mutually Assured Destruction, straregic paradigm... and could actually increase the chances of a nuclear escalation.

    Well now I guess we are just commiting to that rhetoric at least.

    ...

    The Boomers that grew up in the Cold War just convinced themselves they completely 100% won, problem solved, and devoted then their attention to hating the queers, setting up a domestic theocracy, inventing inssne conspiracy theories, getting scammed on Facebook, getting addicted to irrational rage porn media, and denying climate change and thus dooming the world to greater personal and economic precarity which will of course increase inter and intrastate tensions, making military and thus nuclear conflicts more likely.

  • So first, Wokeism is just a governmental operation to co-op the left which is nowadays lacking knowledge, wisdom and solidarity. There is no war but the class war. And types like this will always think that any of your low-level problems are not his problems, and he's always got to worry about nuclear threats. Because, you know, there's always something more important. But you have to remember, it's these types of individuals that go around promoting imperialist goals. It's all about managing perception. And on its nose, it kind of makes sense. But you have to remember, America is an imperialist empire and fascist are the useful idiots of empire. And the rise to fascism is a failed liberalism. And in America we have the ratchet effect where the Democratic Party just obstructs our progress and pushes everything to the right by being controlled opposition. Your Bourgeoisie Democracy will not save you. Those that lack real knowledge will fall for this guy. And all the advocacy you do for minorities will snap back and become even more destructive and regressive. This is called the Imperial Boomerang, or in military intelligence circles, blowback. You're getting played, Yankee
