    He’s supposed to be calming shit down before Trump takes office, not setting the stage for WW3. Fucking maniac

      Yeah, Biden need to set the stage for Trump to try to force Ukraine into surrendering its land to a murderous dictator so that the dictator can further his plans to take more land later gah.

      “calm” would be Ukraine no longer being invaded and occupied. Working towards that end is arguably a more effective way to calm shit down.

          You don’t think we’re headed there anyways from climate change, pollution, deforestation, or any of the other shit that’s already causing ecosystems to collapse and entire species to go extinct?

            Climate change causes mass extinction, not total extinction. Nuclear war causes total extinction

              I genuinely doubt nuclear war would cause total extinction.

                Fortunately we have scientists who are smarter than you who have published studies showing it does

          Totally unrelated but as I’m reading this thread I’m listening to an audiobook and one of the characters said “End of all life on this planet” at practically the same time I read your comment.

              Eruption. Apparently Michael Crichton had a pet-project he was working on and his widow found an author to finish it…James Patterson.

              I never read any James Patterson, but it does have a feel like a lot of Michael Crichton books I loved like Jurassic Park or Andromeda Strain…building up “how the hell could we let this happen” with entirely plausible scenarios and science with only enough fantasy to make it work.

          Understand history? The closest parallel I can come up with is Germany invading Poland. How’d that turn out again?

            It turned out with Germany claiming they could defeat the Russians and getting their ass handed to them when they tried.

            One doesn’t simply defeat the largest country in the world.

              One doesn’t invade the largest country in the world. Ask Afghanistan and Finland how resisting a Soviet invasion went. all that land mass only helps if the enemy is trying to capture it.
