The caveat here is why Europeans are a bit better than this?

The European countries had their own wave of fascism and dictatorship in recent centuries. Some seem to have leaned from the experience.

The halo, of course.

It should also be said that tarring all Americans with the same brush is unfair. I think it was the votes of less than a third of eligible voters that made Trump 2.0 a reality

But that means all the non-voters are to blame as well.

And why are the streets so empty now? I can’t see and hear all these democrats out there.

I still like the Yoda variant best.

The descent became a downslide and now it’s an avalanche.

No, it hasn’t always been that bad. Stupidity happens. It is human. Most times people were able to keep stupidity in check.

That’s why democracy was invented, by the way. It was founded on the belief that a collective can be more reasonable than a single or small group.

Not saying that reason were the opposite of stupidity (that would be wisdom), but reason is a means to keep stupidity in check.

Wenn über die Ursache hier Gerüchte und unbekannte “Insiderquellen” bemüht werden, dient das aber nicht gerade der Glaubwürdigkeit.

Hab ich doch heute schonmal geschrieben. Sogar unter die gleiche Meldung…

Irgendwo bei mir in der Nähe müsste dann wohl ein “Golf von Golfplatz” sein.

Und bei meinem Nachbarn steht ein “Golf Diesel”.

Was stellt man sich unter verdorbener Telekommunikations-Ware vor?

;-)

Wie wär’s denn mit “AHAMKo”?

Alles hört auf mein Kommando!

leading to all out war and global catastrophe.

I doubt it.

Unlike your typical nice bar brawl, not everybody is actually that eager to get involved in an exchange of nukes, and alliances get sometimes weaker when the risks get higher.

I wasn’t getting into the literal size of bomb impact areas vs global surface area.

Of course you are free to build your opinion on whatever speculation you like the most.

Did you know that a good share of all American nukes are mounted on short range missiles that can travel only 100 km or so? Some people were considering funny scenarios there…

Welche App nimmt man dazu für unterwegs?

The truth is stored on their harddisks. But the truth may become very illegal very soon.

They better move the whole thing out of Usa now.

I’ve always had my robot vacuum in HA since the day I started using it.

He’s been saying “fully autonomous” by next year for literally like 10 years, lol. Short memories indeed.

I just never heard that he announced it like 3 months from now! 🤣

Isn’t it the same with the Jehovah’s witnesses announcing the end of the world in 3 years, then in 2, then in 1, and then… silence?

But of course he will never be able to do that:

Silence.

I suggest to read about Hiroshima, and what really happened there, and afterwards.

Here’s a good book: Hibakusha: Survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki https://a.co/d/8KS4RXC

One bomb kills people in a circle of 10 or 50 km (I forgot), and injures people maybe 100km around. Then it does damage to nature maybe even 1000 km around. I live 2000km from Chernobyl, and we had some warnings regarding vegetables for a year or so.

But the planet has a circumference of 40.000 km. Now let your thoughts run around the planet.

an effective deterrent to war

Do not fool yourself. Nukes have NOT achieved that on their own.

It has always been humans who were somewhat responsible and willing to communicate (diplomacy) instead of shooting blindly.

Top 100 means about half of all countries.

So many people having their fingers at the triggers. There would be many unreasonable and evil ones among them.

We would have nuclear war every year.

Not in these next 4 years.

Afterwards, if judges still exist, you can try to force Tesla (with the help of judges) to allow your right to repair.
