Liu posted:the best part of those trump supporter quotes is how loving old they all are. And beyond that, they seem to have no awareness that history moves forward. Like, gently caress, how do they think their grandparents felt about living through the change from horse-drawn carriages, to cars, to man being able to loving fly? No, they're uniquely hard-done-by and the first generation that's ever had to deal with rapid cultural changes

They just don't understand how their own actions are directly responsible for the suffering they're enduring now.

My abiding short term fear for this administration is basically: 1) Putin invades the Baltics 2) Trump does not respond to support NATO or even actively helps the Russians, permanently destroying international faith in U.S. commitments and permanently destabilizing NATO OR 3) through confusion and stupidity a nuclear war happens

Lightning Lord posted:Isn't US Steel still a massively huge company, despite all the 80s downsizing? Yes. Our primary production of Steel is amazing, modern and highly regarded around the world. We just need 10 people total nowadays to output more steel than the entire industry could do in a calendar year a hundred years ago. The absolute quality of every charge will also be higher today than it was back then.

I'm thinking we're going to need a good three presidential terms of uninterrupted non-idiocy before anyone starts really trusting us on a deep level again: three, to be clear, so that after the second term of sanity it's proven that we don't all just pendulum swing back into insanity just to see what it feels like.

I guess "no nukes ever being used in combat since the US in WW2, which was also the first time ever" is a pretty good starting point to make assumptions

Hieronymous Alloy posted:My abiding short term fear for this administration is basically: I've been thinking quite a bit about this scenario recently. Isn't having Trump in this situation, under investigation and under microscopic scrutiny specifically with respect to suspicion of him being in Russia's pocket, making it a bit problematic for Putin to execute such a move? I mean, if Trump was even the slightest bit slick, and didn't proudly broadcast what a whore for the Kremlin he is and leave gigantic red flags all over the place about it, he could claim a strategic shift with respect to Russia policy and fail to act. There would still be an outcry but not necessarily one that would threaten to end his presidency. "They're just protecting their interests in the region, they have a legitimate claim because yadah yada" etc. But now, if Trump failed to act, he'd prove the case. So either he would have to do SOMETHING, even if token, or look like a puppet. And lifting sanctions would seem right out. So I really wonder if Trump staying in office actually hampers Putin a bit from making more aggressive military moves at the moment?

So this just confirms that the WH staff has hidden the office's ability to contact other heads of state directly. Like. Clearly they haven't told him that he can directly contact our allies. Probably for the best, can you imagine getting a 3am call from Trump to complain about a CNN story?
