Seth Abramson's top ten hardman truths about The War In Europe:

1. America is now in a world war.

2. If Donald Trump again becomes president in January 2025, America will lose the war we are currently in with Russia and our democracy may collapse.

3. All this is complicated by the fact that what we’re witnessing is the start of the second genocide in Europe (cf. Bosnia) since the Holocaust.

4. No one in the U.S. government, NATO, or the European Union believes Ukraine can win this war.

5. The fact that Russia can stay in Ukraine long-term—and can weather sanctions long-term—underscores a key indicator that we are in a world war: global alliances are already shifting dramatically in response to the crisis in Ukraine.

6. The costs of the current world war may be more than Americans are willing to bear—and if a majority of Americans come to wrongly feel it’s President Biden rather than Putin and his allies (including Trump) who have brought the world to its current pass, it will punish the Democrats and reward the Republicans. In doing so, it would play into Putin’s hands.

7. Putin has no exit strategy.

8. Biden’s administration is publicly in denial about much of this.

9. Yes, America’s so-called “culture war”—launched by Republicans as a cynical rhetorical exercise in the 1990s, but ultimately reified as a discrete, personally and politically profitable phenomenon—is relevant to the ongoing war in Europe. This means political discourse in the U.S. is even more entwined with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine than we realize.

10. Everything now happening is only the beginning.

it is our duty to help donald trump get elected, as it is the only way to end this war before it escalates into nuclear war

I can’t believe the Bad Thread has spent over 24 hours of the regulars making GBS threads themselves and rolling in it, while the only mod active so is laser-focused on shutting down Tara Reade chat they didn’t realize public threats after a single on-topic post would just Streisand Effect the whole thing. Now that we’re in day two, they’re posting “oooo, wait until Dad gets home!! :argh:” at all mentions of Reade while allowing the rest of the thread to stay derailed

oh wait no, of course I can believe that, it would be dumb to expect anything but

I saw the unread post counter skyrocketing at work and didn't have time to look, I guessed more pedophilia defense instead of rape defense. Kind of impressive that "if belief in homeopathy is disqualifying for a candidate what about credible rape allegations?" can stump a forum full of the best and brightest.

Arnold was a straight up republican right? Like when he held office? And republicans wanted to adjust the rules so he could run for president back then right?

Arnold is one of the unicorn "moderate" GOP peeps like Liz who loudly and publicly disavowed Trump that libs absolutely fawn over as the "true" republicans who, were they in power, would reach across the isle for good old bi-partisan sensible governing.
