Here’s a question.
Suppose Trump takes Greenland by force because he can’t get a deal.
What next?
Does he hold a European population by force indefinitely?
I also note that Kennedy has started going for Germany about their health
regime.
Good Lord people, just piss right off.
I really hate to say this, but we need these people to die, because no way
are they going via a ballot box. Not murder, just die. The whole bloody lot of
them.

For me, there is a different feel about where we are when compared to the
80s.
Yes we had terrifying things like THREADS and videos of what to do in the
event of a nuclear attack.
But leaders were trying to find ways to end the conflict.
I’m not seeing that now.
What I’m seeing is leaders ramping up tension and conflict, with no attempt
to dampen it down. They seem to thrive on chaos.
While other leaders are saying we need to prepare for conflict within the
next five years.
That feels totally different to when I was a kid in the 80s

I have seen some media outlets mention conscription in the
U.K. due to the unstable state of the world currently. The
last time i recall that being considered was when Russia
invaded Afghanistan in the late 70's. You are right James,
the leaders seem eager to ramp things up rather than try
and calm things down as in the 80's. Social media and 24/7
news didn't exist in those days, and i definitely think
they add fuel to the fire.
I see news of European leaders in talks to counter growing
threats from Russia and China, but what about the growing
threat from The U.S.A.?
