New World War flashpoint
Does anyone feel that we have a creeping increase of conflict that could be edging closer to a third world war? Russia-Ukraine, Hamas-Israel, Houthi rebels v the West as active battles. Iran backing proxies in Hamas, Lebanon, and Yemen in active conflicts. China increasingly aggressive against Taiwan, the Philippines, Vietnam, and any other country losing EEZ to China's BS nine dash line. Almost irreversible attacks against Iran's nuclear program on razor's edge. I cannot think of any time in my
40+ years that the world has felt this close to a global conflict.
Pakistan v India has my attention because there was a recent study, peer-reviewed, which showed that a regional nuclear exchange between those two third-world countries would result in enough soot and ash aerosols to block out the sun for years. The resultant mini-ice age and famine would be a world-changing catastrophe.

last commentMight give us a nuclear winter but I doubt it would be a WORLD war. Unlike the Middle East, Russia, or China, I don't see teams of powers lined up between them.

On the bright side: nuclear winter powder days will make next ski season amazing. Already have my pass.

Look at this! All three of you! What do you call this again Puddy? Not that quorum thing….what is it…..oh, the three spooges! Don’t worry about a nuclear winter, we’ll be producing our own coats here by the end of the year. Puddy, you sew the buttons…ski handles zippers, and gumaman…well gummy is most loyal to trump (who got him this job), and doesn’t really do any work, so he signs the certificate of authenticity of where it was made. I look forward to seeing how this administration improves our nation.

@jaybud999 - This article isn't about Trump, you fucking numbnuts!!! Trump may own the Lib Cope Squad's collective ten brain cells, but he isn't the omnipotent God of all that happens in the world. Can't you find another thread to commiserate and cope with wld4tatas, dustyj, ilbbaicnl, hungryhunnypot and the rest?

Well on the bright side all the tariff issues will keep the countries that need to make money from the US occupied for awhile.

They SAY they're done. I'll believe it when I see it for a year or three. Even then, I wouldn't let my guard down.

@gamma The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists set the "Doomsday Clock" at 89 seconds to midnight in January of this year, which is the closest to midnight that it's ever been set. Since humanity just can't seem to ever stop fighting, among other things, I can only hope that those 89 seconds won't soon seem a bit optimistic...

The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists lost all credibility when they linked the timing of the doomsday clock to the man-made climate change hoax. The January move was clearly partisan and only underscored that they are as partisan as any leftist organization and do not deserve to be paid any mind. In other words, intelligent people know not to give a fuck what they think.

@puddy: jaydumb is #6 on 25's beloved most ignored list, below even RMD, icey, and one of Cjkunt's accounts. I have never paid him any mind, much of TUSCL has muted his ignorant BS, and I would advise you ignore him even if you don't put him on ignore. Don't feed the trolls.

Jaybud makes being a dumb fuck into an art form. You just know that he takes it up the ass from the democratic base daily. I am clubbing at the Boardroom today in case there's a nuclear holocaust tomorrow.

@gamma Years ago, just because I wanted to know for myself, I did the work necessary to determine whether or not AGW was real. My research on the topic was quite thorough, and I'm more than a little confident in the conclusions I was able to draw. Do I explain my conclusions to others? Nope. Do I get into debates about whether or not that topic is "real" or a "hoax"? Nope. The way I see it, if someone else wants to know for themselves, they can either put in the same level of work that I did, or they can trust whatever sources they choose to trust on the topic, and time will tell how that works out for them... Obviously, some individual choices made by enough humans in aggregate can ultimately have huge implications for all of humanity, but I've tried to stop worrying too much about things beyond my control. I guess if humanity wants a better world to live in, it better find a way to get its shit together while there's still time...
