I seem to remember sth like that was said at the beginning of the war.

Now France is talking about putting boots on the ground, multiple attacks on Crimean infrastructure already happened and Europe is getting more worried about the getting attacked as well if Putin gets his way.

I doubt anyone cares about it anymore and Putin can punch sand.

Ah, but shitting on Biden and the US at every opportunity is completely reasonable while talking bad about the guy who is actually pulling the trigger is fucking scapegoating!?

Yep, the dead definitely wouldn't want their loved ones to continue living.

What line are you talking about? The Russian army is in ukrainian territory and needs to be kicked out, no one is talking about invading Russia.

Humour and logic, keep your comments coming! Lately it felt like Lemmy was overrun by people arguing in bad faith.

"Which is still what she's doing"

I know, I was talking about her.

"it's just reached the point where she can't get away with not pretending anymore"

Exactly, and that's a good thing.

"owner donors"

If true it means that even they think it's beneficial to change course which would be great.

"It's too late"

Yes, it's too late to reverse time. But I'm pretty sure the Palestinians that are still suffering at the moment would appreciate help anyways.

And real "help" is only going to happen if not only the politicians with principles but also the opportunistic ones agree on it.

Feels like your top priority is to hate on them instead of moving forward on a path that might finally bring a halt to that genocide.

Maybe you should reconsider what's really important to those people dying right now, I'm pretty sure they don't give a fuck about that senator.

Most politicians will play it safe and stick with the most popular opinion for their voter base, or just stay silent.

Sanders, AOC and the protesters helped to turn the tide, which is the reason some politicians speak out now. Those new voices will continue to change public opinion, force others to speak out and apply more pressure.

You rather want this not to happen?
I thought, getting people and politicians to agree that Israel needs to be stopped was the goal?

And why would it be "too late" while Palestinians are still dying?

"In the short term"

The main problem is that all this theory doesn't track with reality.

The mean construction time for nuclear reactors worldwide is 9.4 years and the US seemingly only finished one reactor (Watts Bar 2) in the last ten years which took 42.8 years to complete and ended up costing more than 12 billion. Watts Bar 1 was finished after 23 years and two others were abandoned, one by TVA after 47 years.

Correction: Unit 3 of the Westinghouse AP1000 reactor (Vogtle) was finished in 2023 in only 14 years costing 34 billion, while Unit 4 is still in construction.

The reason why China was able to build 39 reactors in a short amount of time is because they are using them to increase their nuclear arsenal. Projects like this tend to go faster if a dictatorship wants it to be done no matter the cost, public opinion and safety concerns.

Air and sea temperatures, ice shelf thickness etc. going back to fit perfectly with the current models and 2023 going down as a "freak occurrence" is, at least in my opinion, highly unlikely.

But it's also missing an important point: this is a scientific problem and realizing that we were not able to predict what could potentially happen in just a few years in the future, is worrisome in its own regard.
"Uncharted territory" basically means that scientists confirm it's anybody's guess what is going to happen next, since they don't understand why it's happening in the first place.

"It could imply that a warming planet is already fundamentally altering how the climate system operates, much sooner than scientists had anticipated."

Nono, it was the CIA, planting false information! The huge attack on multiple fronts at the same time was meant to fail, all just to disprove the "3 days"-propaganda!

But even with all this effort, the brainwashed westerners are still to stupid to see that!

[–] narp@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah. I bet you also thought Russia was going to take Kyiv, too.
