WW3

[Efcjake]

appreciate the anger, and all of it justified, but there is a lot of disjointed fact in what you've written. for your part, make sure to let your elected officials know what you want them to do, how to proceed at the world stage. we'll rejoin the conversation, provided we're still around.

Well my elected officials are doing exactly what I want them to. They're not backing down to this shameless bullying from your leaders and country.

When you rejoin the world stage don't be surprised when attitudes towards your nation have changed dramatically.

MAGA and America First is destroying any global good will you have.

They won't be returning anytime in the forseeable. The damage is done, even if the next President isn't a MAGAt.

The belligerence out of the white house is fine, Europe has moved as near as a unit and decided to fund 800 billion euros of cash available for defence, that means jobs and procurement and maintenance and skills for delivery. What we have to see is that money spent in Europe and possibly a few tasters to Canada and where ever, absolutely as little as possible to the u.s.

potus wants isolationism, he can have it.

There's a guitar maker on here, some serious kit, operates out of Spain I believe. Has some super expensive chisels. Something bespoke?

yeah he makes lovely Spanish/classical types, beautiful pieces of craftsmanship, but I have enough nylon strung ones (tbh I have enough of all types)

So maybe do a collab, test frontiers new? A bit from here, a bit from there, a hybrid of the greats, a one off, an ultra rare. Maybe design a modular guitar you can alter parts of? Perfect your sound, achieve that bit of difference?

I recently read a famous musician had somehow had his expensive guitar left underwater somehow for about three months and needed refurbing, it came back much mellower, softer, able to achieve things it couldn't before. A step into the unknown...

Longer. Even if they manage to elect someone in 2028 who isn't a maniac, and isn't in the thrall of the broligarchs, who can say what they'll do at the following election?

Trump has destroyed the last 80 years of geopolitics in one fell swoop. There's no point in trying to rely on the U.S. as a partner from now on.

Yup, and once Europeans are properly self-sufficient, the Americans - even the good ones - will really live to regret uniting us. People need to remember: Europeans didn't outsource our security to the US because we were leeches. We did it because that's what the US demanded. Only the French demurred - and were proven correct. Here in Germany, it seems to me that the new chancellor has had his pfennig-drop moment. Once the Germans get their act together, we're living in a brave new world... Things will not go back to the way they were because idiot Americans grow an IQ above 100 and elect a non-fascist. American hegemony ended last week. Forever.

Destroy-ing? You've chosen the wrong verb tense, my friend. Only the deluded are still under any delusions of grandeur.

Not do delve into things like economics in a thread on wars that haven't happened yet, but you could think about buying a used guitar.

Yep - they've already destroyed

It's because of this the only way I see this ending, ultimately, is in full scale civil war - where both sides will have nukes

 

[Tipp blue]

For the first time in my lifetime at least, the chance of that happening is greater than zero.

And likely more than 1%

Nah it's zero, there's enough sniper rifles in public hands to make sure this wont happen.
