Daleks.

We are ruled by Daleks, but without the proficiency in mathematics.

There is NO SUCH THING as "limited warfare". This is not July, 1914 where people still believed that shit. These people need to be stopped!

We need to quit avoiding the problem. Psychos run the country. They need to be dealt with.

Or maybe this is the AI nightmare that everyone has predicted.

Who and under what paradigm & systems, allowed and would continue to allow psychos to run the country?

Haven't any of these dickheads heard the phrase, "If the nukes fly, we all die"? There's no such thing as a limited nuclear strike. Once one goes off, limited is no longer applicable.

I keep telling everyone that this is their climate change solution. Limited nuclear war, aka 'blocking the sun' aka 'nuclear winter'. As a bonus, they get to kill off a whole bunch of poor people.

    I'm OK with #1 and 2, but at #3 I start to think that we're already too late, barring some huge technological breakthrough. And then by #4, literally every 'solution' they're putting forward will make things worse for working people, the only people I actually care about.

    Nuclear winter could actually work, accompanied by a 90% reduction in the human population. But given who is planning this, and who is planning to survive and repopulate the planet, I think it would be a giant step backwards. The last thing we need is 5,000 Jeffrey Epsteins holing up in underground bunkers with 100 underage girls each, planning to remake the world in their own image, with their superior genes.

    If they murder the rising Chinese they can reset the world with the US at the top. We driven by mad men living out their ghoulish genocidal fantasies.

    This isn't even the first time someone has threatened nukes against N. Korea.

    And remember that America helped overthrow Imran Khan

    USA has threatened to use nukes against every country they've been at war with since WW2 (including Grenada, AFAIK), and has threatened every single 'enemy' targeted by foggy bottom and the CIA. On one or two occasions, they've threatened to nuke Canada. And Mexico, naturally.

    So let me guess who will decide how "limited" the war would remain ...

    Maybe someone should remind them that ICBMs can strike anywhere on the globe.

      The lesson of the Kim dynasty and Gaddafi is: never give up your nukes, and don't believe one single word the USA ever says.

      “I’ve wargamed conflicts with China and with North Korea dozens of times. If we look at a map and consider the forces involved, it is almost impossible for either to occur without some form of simultaneity.”—US defense official, name withheld

      It shows that they never ever considered diplomacy. We could just ask the Chinese to take North Korea from the north and maintain the parallel as it stands. I'm not in love with the CCP. I suspect the regular people in North Korea would get better treatment under a CCP puppet reigme than the damned DPRK has treated their own people. The only reason China lets North Korea exist is that it provides a DMZ between it and the West. I say protect the interests of the CCP and they won't go to war with the US. The alternative is that we all die in nuclear hellfire over the Korean Peninsula.
