    All of these climate "pledges" have a completion range of 2030-2035 but realistically this planet might not even make it that far

    US is a republic
    Calling the US a democracy is a scam tbh

    I know you're not one of them bro but when American right wingers say AMERICA IS A REPUBLIC NOT A DEMOCRACY as if Republic means undemocratic that's not true

    Republic basically just means not a monarchy in very simple terms lmao

    China has been one of the most powerful parts of the world for centuries. The question should be how did China get wrecked for a century.

    Yeah I just mean in the simple terms of voting for your representatives at the state/ federal level.
    Locally though its much different

    How did we let china become this powerful

    the US traded factories for finance and sold out its people for the cheap labor in China. Simple really. Profit took (and still takes) precedence over the well-being of your own economy

    How did we let china become this powerful

    A country with 1.4B people, an extremely long history and an economy a lot of the world produces stuff in being “this powerful” shouldn’t really be a surprise

    It should be a red flag (no pun intended lol) if they aren’t in a powerful position

    Prolly the tenth time I'm copypasting this post itt lmao, but it's pretty much a summary of what he says in that lecture:

    NATO is a military alliance that was formed in case that the West would possibly ever have to go to war with Russia during the cold war. Article 5 says that if one NATO member is attacked, it's regarded as an attack against all NATO members.

    With the taking down of the Berlin wall, the US promised to Gorbachev would not move "one inch forward" to the East. A promise that has not been held as many other Eastern European countries have joined NATO.

    The reason Ukrainian NATO membership is such a threat is that Ukraine is right at their borders. The black sea fleet in the Crimea was Russia's only fleet that was available year round, which is why they annexed the Crimea in 2014 after the US-backed coup in Ukraine, because they would lose access to that fleet which they see as crucial for their security.

    In addition, Ukraine has also hinted at "liberating" (ie invading) the Crimea, if Ukraine does that as a NATO member, it's essentially the same as entirety of the West invading the Crimea, as Putin said here:

    !https://youtu.be/RJXwLzII278

    Right now it, Putin isn't gonna annex all of Ukraine, but he's gonna attempt to install a puppet leader who won't pursue NATO membership and probably integrate the republics of the Donbass into the Russian Federation eventually, unless there will be diplomacy and a neutrality agreement with Ukraine and NATO.

    It was also always clear that Putin was a Russian nationalist who had a lot of nostalgia for the Russian empire. He always criticized Lenin for giving nations that were part of the Czarist empire like Ukraine too much autonomy and giving republics in the USSR the right to secede. Which adds fuel to the fire.

    So that's why Putin is trying to prevent this, he's taking it very far and taking a by any means necessary approach to it. Combine that with his attitudes about the Russian empire, and it's not a total surprise that he would want to do this to prevent what he regards as a region part of the former Russian empire which he dearly misses joining a hostile military alliance, but it is surprising that he's willing to face the repercussions that this will bring for Russia, which will be a lot.

    I mean this is pretty much what it boils down to

    What’s your take on Russia outcome from all of this?

    I think anyone who has really paid attention to global warming especially in the last 3-4 years can see the writing on the walls.

    Personally i think its too late for any significant change to alter our collision course with widespread famine and lack of viable produce and crops and especially since most "solutions" are really just exchanging gas engines with electric batteries that require all this rare metal mining and "recyclable" single use plastics

    The only real solution is to completely change the way we work, study, eat, commute etc everything but that will never happen as since the industrial era the human race has progressed at the expense of other humans and the environment
