The fact that this is a serious topic of conversation these days is frightening. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 12/03/2025 11:16:11 AM

That so many seem to approve is cause for horror.


View original postOne of the things all of us here can probably agree on is that the first month and a half or so of Donald Trump’s return to office has not been boring.

I'm sure at some point in my life I wanted to live in interesting times, and if I could go back in time I'd throttle myself and then give the stupid child a long talk and a vial of estrogen.


View original post1. Do you want the USA to continue on as a member of NATO?

I don't know if it's possible for us to do so at present, but yes. And obviously so if the alternative is the psychotic flailing of the past two months.


View original postMerz and Tusk have both expressed a desire to acquire nuclear weapons via nuclear sharing, with France or the UK providing the weapons.


View original post2. Is this a development you support or find acceptable?

I do not support the use of nuclear weapons, because I am not insane. I can think of one country that I would at present trust with them and does not have them. Even to Ukraine, which at present is the country I think most deserves them. It's also at present amomg the countries that should under no circumstances have them, though I'd swap Russian control of their nuclear arsenal to Ukraine with alarmingly little hesitation.


View original post3. Are there any other countries you’d support or accept as becoming nuclear powers? And if so, which ones?

Canada, without any hesitation, given Trump's increasingly frequent comments about annexation.


View original postIf you would like to flesh out your answers please do so. That’s it. Short and (bitter)sweet.

I hate that we're here. I hate that intelligent people are cheering this on. US politics has become a game defined entirely by resentment of others.

I'm so tired.

In both of those cases, though, at least you provided support to the defender in a war. Legolas - 18/03/2025 07:00:04 PM 518 Views

Some of this is fair enough - some, not so much. And the ending is... um. Novel? Legolas - 11/03/2025 10:57:41 PM 516 Views

Ok, I can answer also from a wider long term perspective. Legolas - 14/03/2025 08:05:10 AM 532 Views

I think it's largely irrelevant now TheCrownless - 14/03/2025 11:14:10 AM 518 Views
You’re probably right about that. Vodalus - 18/03/2025 04:50:24 AM 572 Views
