Kamala vs Donnie would be the funnier timeline, so I guess that’s what is coming.
Yemen dropping leaflets over Tel Aviv telling residents to move to the Negev humanitarian refuge location. Weeks where decades are happening.
I for one welcome our electric driverless bus overlords.

Generally these films/stories don’t do a great job of world building in my experience. If there has been a global disaster that has killed off lots of people, the economic and materialist reality would be highly cooperative.
Humans are highly pro-social, and the ‘kill to survive’ foundation of the storytelling just seems overly grimdark. Competitive warlording is a terrible way to run a society.
There’s this impulse to make the stories conform to a feudalist to frontier continuum that seems to be pretty shallow. I guess it makes it easy to rely on dramatic tropes from legacy media though.
One exception to this might be On The Beach iirc. Most of the plot involves the characters venturing out into the apocalyptic world because there might be other survivors sending out signals. But the social structure of the enclave the characters live in seems mostly pretty chill from what I recall. Not really any major human conflict in the story.
He added: "But the main message is that the stronger the support for Ukraine and the longer we are willing to commit, the sooner this war can end.
Ok, that’s already kinda twisted logic, but least see where this goes.
"The paradox is that now President Putin believes that he can wait us out. So therefore, the war continues.
Ok so we’ve gone in a circle.
“When we communicate very clearly that we are here for long haul, that we have strong enduring support for Ukraine, then we have the conditions for a solution where Ukraine prevails as a sovereign independent state.”
Is this like market brained modern warfare?
If we jack up the price of military futures then that means Putin has to lose!
War profiteering is the core of our strategy!
How much of the 20% are leftists?
