Yay. Airborne nukes. I’m sure that’ll calm everyone down.

It will, look up how many times NK got invaded after they got nukes lmao. Nukes work because they're scary. Would it work on the US? No idea, they seem to lack some very basic human instincts.

I find it weirdly reassuring that the muppets in charge are all hardcore capitalists and grifters and are the best guarantee they will push this as far as possible without destroying the planet or the economy.

Not saying there will be no death and destruction, but in the end they’ll just want to keep grifting.

Why don't these peasants want to have more kids they ask. Because of fucking this

Isn't this a good thing though it allows Europe to be more independent and not get dragged into US wars. 

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yes, it's exactly that. It's France showing the world that EU countries are just fine without the US, so no one—yku know who—should get any ideas.

The fact that the EU needs to defend itself adequately is not mutually exclusive with how all this nuclear proliferation lowers the birth rate.

If somebody's not having kids because "nukes" then I suppose I'm happy they're not reproducing.

I imagine for most, it's the economy and enshitification of life in general.
