Hot Takes Discussion II: NATO is the Greatest Thing Ever

[Red Lake Circle]

If only we would not do stupid "regime change" wars.

How would Raytheon and friends make any money without that sort of revenue stream though?

Won’t somebody think of the arms manufacturers?

They should just cope harder then.

The only sphere I choose is the American And Allies Sphere

I mean Russia could use a regime change…

The irony is that war profiteering is considered as American as apple pie despite George Washington (his vices notwithstanding) not being very fond of such people to say the least.

That's because America's got an idealised vision of Washington where they ignore all the bad shit about him and then make up new bad shit about him that they pretend is good.

Yeah, but whenever the yankees get their mitts on a strongman dictatorship they invariably make it worse.

Russia is a nuclear armed power what has ICBMs that can destroy American and European cities. It would be literal WWIII if we tried to invade. We'd have to get rid of Putin using underhanded means and even so, there is still a chance his successor would want revenge, or that the plot would fail. WWIII again being the result.

It's dumb and would likely lead to the end of the world.

It's due to propaganda that pretends that these historical figures are with them when they were not.

Atomic war is inevitable. It will destroy half of humanity: it is going to destroy immense human riches. It is very possible. The atomic war is going to provoke a true inferno on Earth. But it will not impede Communism.

I think people will be more concerned about not dying from radiation than seizing the means of production

J. Posadas was an idiot. A nuclear war would probably push humanity's progress back by more than 2,000 years and any modern ideology (capitalism, communism, etc.) would be reduced to irrelevancy. I would expect tribes and scavengers barely scraping by to be the succeeding state of affairs.

I don’t wanna go back to bartering and trading, nor do I want to use emeralds for overpriced dirt

The United States should dramatically increase its’ stockpile of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction

The United States should dramatically increase its’ stockpile of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction

What would that do, exactly?

That's a good question because from were I see it, it will do absolutely nothing.

Show Russia and North Korea we’re not a punk bitch and we don’t play around.

We already have enough nukes to wipe them off the map. They know doing so would be a great cost to us and the world, and thus, they know we will probably not do it unless they go that route first.

It would prove us the greatest bitches of them all, I think

No, god rods. Gib me depleted uranium rods to let fall on London

[The Jamesian Republic]

Also yes

But not on London.

I have other targets *maniacal laugh*

This is a joke.
