    Trump is making it unsafe for Americans to travel across the globe. Seriously if he keeps making these hostile statements some person with mental health issues will snap and attack American tourists in Denmark.

      Prepare for a lot of fake Canadians.

      Easy test, make fun of the usa in front of them. Any Canadian worth their salt will join in (more so now a days), but most americans can not seem to do so without mentioning weird colours and parties.

          As québécois I request that " qu’il mange de la marde le roi! " be considered as an appropriate stance to prove Canadian citizenship. You know just to celebrate the rich Canadian tapestry of cultures.

      We need to develop a purity test to weed out the fake Canadians trying to come to our countries and steal our sanity. Somebody give me a shibboleth - something Americans can’t pronounce properly but Canadians can.

      Canurope first!

        This oversimplification is how the world will learn nothing from this. Putin didn’t compromise 47 million Americans into voting for fascism.

        Major political and economic change is needed. How many times does fascism have to materialize exactly as leftists have predicted before people start reevaluating the economic system that creates Elon Musks.

            Yes, my point is you can Thanos snap Trump and Putin out of existence today and if you make no other changes then fascism will still be here or will rise again soon.

            Economic and political change is needed

          Putin did not have to compromise 47 millions people only 1 and he did trump is a KGB agent since the 80’s at least

          And sadly for the change you want so no more Elon Musks are created a violent revolution is needed no change of politic will change that

            Historically violence is very effective at political change, but there are many peaceful examples as well. Let’s hope this one can be peaceful but some violence at the start of fascism is better than lots of violence being required to unroot deeply ingrained fascism.

            Hard to say where USA is today. I’m a little surprised at how quiet the military’s being as the constitution is being torn up and allies are being turned into enemies, I have to hope they’d turn down orders to invade former allies, at least.

            Hopefully the quiet is a sign that there’s internal scheming.

      Let’s take that hot air argument off the table.

      Escalating into nuclear conflict is a total loss scenario. The first one pressing a button would trigger a chain reaction that would render the planet an irradiated rock. Nobody gains anything.

      Nuclear armament is the last hidding place for fragile egos and we would be very fortunate if after this insanity streak there was a complete nuclear global disarmament.

        That’s the worst case scenario. There’s plenty alternate scenarios.

        But it’s besides the point anyway. There’s a lot that comes before that. The point is it’s a deterrent.

        Nuclear armament has given world unrivalled period of peace. " chain reaction that would render the planet an irradiated rock. " Nuclear winter is a lie. Nuclear weapons are not that radioactive. We do not have that many of them. Do not worry, your beloved mankind will survive to do another 100,000 years of genocide, rape, torture, murder, destruction, oppression and all the other things our sacred texts say are fun and good.

          That was depressing to read.

          Humankind, please. Let’s try to include everyone, please. And yes, I do hope our species will thrive into a future I’m too small to even imagine.

          Second, be free to believe in whatever you may want but keep it to yourself. People covet power. Weaponizing belief is easy, as it preys on the weak and abandoned. Zealots are to fear, not belief. It’s about greed.

          Third, let’s put those fabled deterrents back into the box. Peace through fear is not peace. It’s a hostage situation.

            Its more like “peace through outcome too stupid and worthless to pursue” than “peace through fear.” But i recognize this is mostly down to opinion and i respect your optimism and pacifism and wish everyone was like that. Then our biggest problems would be kernel level anti cheat.

        Nuclear weapons are not meant for a nuclear conflict really, they’re used as a deterrent, and it works. Look how the world is scared shitless of helping Ukraine directly despite Russian army not being too strong - but Russia has nukes.

        Edit: Also see noone wanting a conflict with North Korea.

          Let us wait and see for how much longer that remains. Russia is resorting to mercenaries (don’t really know what else to call the north korean in the scenario). At some point, either Ukraine pushes back with enough force to end the conflict or other countries will start sending troops there, even if for nothing else besides urban security to relive more national troops to the front lines.

                I actually really hope Europe, or at least some parts of it, will have the balls to protect themselves when the shit hits the fan. The idea of capitulation in the name of peace is becoming uncomfortably popular.

              Fine. Unless we have access to a crystal ball, I’m fairly comfortable in reiterating we can not know what would happen; a few educated guesses, certainly, but knowing, no.

              Afterall, it took a lawyer, turned actor, turned politian to have Ukraine peel off from the heavy russian influence over the country which eventually led to the ongoing conflict, as Russia lost the heavy influence it had over what was essentially a puppet state, akin to Belarus.

              Had Ukraine retained their nuclear armament - which, of memory serve me well, was disbanded in order to reach a peace agreement for the region, as Russia considered the presence of such weapons a threat - maybe it had become another rogue state just like Belarus is today.

              Can we know? No.

        Considering trump, are we absolutely sure he doesn’t suddenly decide to throw a nuke at somebody who opposes him ?

        Putin is an ass, but I’m also fairly certain he won’t drop nukes on anybody unless somebody is about to invade the Kremlin. Trump however…

          Are we giving him more credit than the figure is worth? As others have already stated, that is a very last resort scenario. I don’t want to imagine the voices from seasoned military personell telling why it should not be done. I even risk someone would shoot the guy.
