Next problem, H5N1 variant, human-transmissible. I wouldn't want to be in the USA then. I am accepting of Prez Xi as our next hegemon, for whatever time we have left. The West is tired and old.

There's a large armed contingent under the control of an authoritarian leader, in my country, right now. A "leader" who's greedy, malicious, cruel, sadistic, vengeful, narcissistic, sexist, racist, ignorant ............ the "antichrist". His subjects adore him. It's not President Xi...

As usual, he's right. If the attitude doesn't change, Europe & UK are fucked, because the usa will withdraw - or even actively assist putin. trump is that much of a svoloch'.

I spotted that, with disgust. The majority of UK citizens wouldn't know how wrong the headline is. ☹️

That's another can of worms, another flashpoint: the Northern Sea Route. Will be ice-free soon, need less rail transport. The idiot trump made the US' positition there more difficult - surely all that was needed was to negotiate an expanded military presence in Greenland. (As is happening...

"The economic and material support from China and the support from North Korea and Iran with troops and weapons systems, respectively, are increasingly contributing to freeing up resources for Russia's rearmament against NATO." russia as China's surrogate. With the USA likely isolationist. D:

Also there's this "thought experiment". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_European_Enclosure_Dam

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn93797z2dpo "Later, he added: "I drank the Kool-Aid in terms of the grand ambitions for humankind being a multi-planet species…" I agree that he'll probably try to defend NASA's other functions. But that depends on trump and musk.

Well I did say "foolish"! Illogical emotional reactions can be strong and hard to shift.

Maybe foolish, but I'd rebel. Stuff like Flint happens.

These hi-tech glasshouses seem to have a life of their own; robotic seeding, transplanting, pollinating, harvesting, precision feeding & watering. All your produce untouched by human hand.

Anyone got any opinions about Jared Isaacman as head of NASA? I'm hoping the Earth & Climate Science departments won't be terminated, and the infrared telescope will survive. But it's all about Planet B now. Jared and Elon.

Some good people on RedditFR24 spoke of counting the aircraft (seats) that fly to Guantanamo Bay, "should the worst happen". Today's equivalent of the cattle trucks. gods help us, it's nightmarish.

:cry: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=putin+invaded+ukraine+for+mineral+wealth&ia=web Many said that was putin's real reason for invasion. Probably true; the Empire-building and Nazi-killing stuff was to whip up support from his subjects. I think giving the trump regime the mineral rights...

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/one-killed-blast-moscow-residential-building-tass-reports-2025-02-03/ "Investigators are currently identifying those who ordered the crime," TASS quoted a law enforcement official as saying." That won't take long.

To replace all these workers, where will trump find all the white, straight, Evangelical, macho, gun-totin' males? Hungary? 😆 During the Springfield fiasco, the Republicans implied that their definition of "illegal" could include any non-white immigrant. putin and Prez Xi must be loving...

"The FAA has directed SpaceX to lead an investigation of the Starship Super Heavy Flight 7 mishap with FAA oversight" Musk can simply ignore them. What's the FAA going to do about it? Courts? Hahaha ......... Anyway, why do we even need the FAA, or the NTSB? The president can tell us all...

Right now, I know nothing about how things will shake out, (in the short term) and neither does Girkin. I'm waiting for trump's talk with putin, and then trump's replacement of all the Generals, with his yes-men.

Yes, Taiwan's cables possibly cut, also in Baltic. And not forgetting that putin is President Xi's surrogate. We Europeans are certainly living in interesting times. Hopefully the President stays with the policy of economic superiority and dominance.

ISW on Jan. 30th was about the terms of peace talks, and also mentioned that China is supplying russia with necessaries. putin's idea seems to be that NATO withdraws from Eastern Europe to give him a temporary breather.
