Living in a scifi. On one side studying effects, all while excluding yourself from the causalities and deaths, doing your best to be of a 'scientific mind'. On the other escalating it.

human behaviors. No one goes out in a war thinking they won't come back, well, not at first. knew one guy in the Vietnam war doing his third turn there. He told me he started to freeze, feel cold no matter how hot it was, and in the end he defected.

A nuclear war or not. Combined with global warming you can just as easily go and shoot yourself. It will probably be better.

It's very easy for our idiots to plan for it, politicans and warmongers, because they all think themselves exempted. Leaving militaries without a choice. Their mandate to plan for what's unthinkable.

Things that stinks. But we made Russia into what it is today, didn't we? Going as far as creating a new 'world order'. We could have done better.

Well, what did you expect?

"A new agreement between Iran and the U.N. nuclear watchdog does not guarantee inspectors' access to Iranian nuclear sites and Tehran wants further talks on how inspections are carried out, the country's foreign minister said on Wednesday."

" "True: von der Leyen embodies EU weaknesses, yet those aren't of her making. Alone she can't retaliate against the US, act decisively on Gaza, or broker Ukraine talks," he said on X."

They are, take a look at Antonio for it. You know, the UN. Ursula must have her own mind, and opinions, as exemplified by what she does. Or, she's just a talking marionette? Dangling in strings drawn by ??

F* that

Well, there's a 'plan' behind it, isn't there Mr Netanyahu.

So are we willing. No, another prediction I've made. You can see it in USA and you can see it everywhere, where people stand in front of the facts, realizing that they have to choose between keeping this status quo or changing,  with all what that means.

"The number of Britons who think the dangers of global warming have been exaggerated has jumped by more than 50 per cent in the past four years, new research for The Times reveals today."

https://energysecurityfreedom.substack.com/p/the-brits-are-rejecting-climate-change

does it have anything to do with us getting dumber? Maybe, It's possible, but also all that disinformation flowing from both politicians and industries. Outright lies and obfuscations.

And science doesn't make it better

" The solution is a new relative NINO3.4 index, which rather than being compared to a 30-year baseline average, it is relative to the current tropical mean temperature. The graph above shows the growing gap between the traditional NINO3.4 index and the new measure which is adjusted for our warming climate."

you want it clear you will need to relate it to those various climate bases existing in the beginning of ? 1800. Never liked those 20-30 years 'averages', that 'average' constantly 'adjusted' upwards as it got worse. They become lies if you don't understand what it was like before our industrial revolution. and most of us doesn't. We have a short life span, and memory.
