Parents divorced post puberty
First kid with armpit hair and absolute unit on the peewee fields but once everyone else caught up the glory faded and even though in your own mind you worked harder than everyone else you were passed up by those that barely had to put any effort in to become star athletes. The glory faded and so did the presence of your dad. 100% I’m sorry you had to deal with that.
No worries though - you got into a state college thanks to that 3.5 GPA, you were ready to prove yourself. Unfortunately all success in your life was a result of coddling and the real world hit you in the face hard. Still at (guessing here) 28-35 you’ve worked for 8 different companies, each time you leave because your talent just isn’t being recognized. You see those underperforming pupils you grew up with flaunting their kids their hot wives ad their boats and you search for something that sets you apart. A Reddit community becomes your family, you live in an echo chamber and find strength behind a keyboard in the 3/3 apartment you share with your mom. You have peaked, life is good, if only these idiots would realize they are being played by MSM. Regardless If you are right or wrong, this is your Everest.
Just a guess. Apologies for derailing and GN - if an ounce of that is right, go talk to someone in person not on a computer screen. Your life will get better.

Yeah I was commenting on the catastrophizing and splitting. It’s like you have Borderline except about geopolitics. It’s very weird, and frankly, reads like someone has repeatedly shot you in the dick with an arrow full of amphetamines and estrogen.
I fully believe that China invading Taiwan would be an international catastrophe and plunge the world into depression and darkness. Just picture the early 1930s poverty mixed in with WWII but all the power players have nukes. That’s my fear and I don’t think panicking about this is insane. 95% of people have no idea how important that island is in their day to day lives.

What do you make of the opposition leader in Belarus going to the coup in the middle of all of this?
Queue the KGB. I figure it will be dealt with really quick with the help of Russia and it will fade away. They already have a ton of assets in the area.
Something to keep our eyes on.
ETA: This is something I could see the US pull the strings behind the scenes.

Arming civilians was smart. A civilian is no less lethal than your common infantryman and he has no one to answer to or rules of engagement to follow
And the enemy can track military movements. When civilians hide everywhere in ambush it makes it much harder.

I would hope we are smart enough to have a contingency plan where if something like this happens there is someone elsewhere with the codes and orders to launch if DC is nuked and our govt is wiped out
The nuke on Washington I think we’d still be in mutually assured destruction… but I’m nervous about the EMP on the northeast coast. That would be way worse than nuking Washington.

My dude, it’s okay to talk about those things and express your concerns but you are a bit dramatic at times. Honestly it’s more damaging to your message than helpful.

Knowing government work we have the multiple contingency plans for a nuked DC but no ones paid attention to it

You don’t know what’s across the sea. I’m just the Soothsayer warning you of the Ides of March. Rohan is being invaded by Isengard now, but China is Mordor and Taiwan is Gondor, and the Great Eye’s gaze is fixed on Minas Tirith. If it falls, we’re done for an age of darkness and possible nuclear holocaust.

How is it that you can repeatedly miss the point?

So basically like India and Pakistan.

You should read this paper published from someone at Army War College on these scenarios, published in 2020 I believe. One possible scenario is playing out here with the way social media has reacted, which has put a remarkable amount of pressure on the Russians. In general, you should make seek out some other opinions rather than think anything through yourself, because you are alarmingly retarded.

They’re not in a WWII like scenario. They’re in a stalemate.

Dude, I read and listen to tons of different philosophers and opinions. How about you read more into how China taking Taiwan would affect your day to day life. I am not ignorant on this subject. Listen to Maajid Nawaz on Rogan this week to know what we’re up against. This is you:

[BBC News] EU, allies to limit 'golden passports' for Russians
quote:
The Western allies will also limit the ability of wealthy Russians to buy citizenship in other countries.
"We commit to acting against the people and entities who facilitate the war in Ukraine and the harmful activities of the Russian government," says the statement.
"Specifically, we commit to taking measures to limit the sale of citizenship—so called golden passports—that let wealthy Russians connected to the Russian government become citizens of our countries and gain access to our financial systems."

Reading this ‘geopolitics as fandom’ crap is just more Tumbler stupidity, and honestly, makes me want to choose the holocaust here.
