Trump and his cronies? Yes. Never conflate what they say with what they’re actually doing. What they say is what they think will manipulate people into acting the way they want.

Military significance and a supply of water and land as the globe warms.

Well that’s a refreshing perspective.

Right… that’s why the US was caught completely off guard and the main leader of the resistance has a strong anti-US, anti-Israel, anti-Iran, pro-Saud background.

That’s great news! They’re actually willing to make concessions!

Must be hard for the investigators when so many people are potential suspects.

That’s the official dev board. You can build a router with that, but most people don’t build their routers up from components.

GL-iNet definitely predates it though.

Sure! The US will be free to trade with Canada. There will still be tariffs on softwood lumber, steel, and many other things if Canada wants to sell them in the US.

That’s the question, isn’t it?

China and the US are unlikely to care right now.

Look at a map of where Bangladeshi shipping has to go.

Interesting… it will also be interesting to see what India does here, since they effectively control Bangladesh’s shipping access.

Agreed; and it will become more of a problem as water becomes less predictable. Problem is, for most atomic generators, that also holds true.

Investment in research is definitely needed, but building existing systems isn’t going to solve the issues either.

When does Jones realize that no matter what happens, it doesn’t end well for him?

Why not? It gives Russia 20 years to subsume Ukraine, so they’ll be fine with it, and Ukraine will be given the choice of “take it or be cut off from all further funding.”

Oh, it has… just not in the ways anyone would desire to be considered exceptional.

I don’t get it. Current nuclear power solutions take longer to set up, have an effectively permanently harmful byproduct, have the (relatively small) potential to catastrophically fail, almost always depend on an abundant supply of fresh water, and are really expensive to build, maintain and decommission.

If someone ever comes up with a functional fusion reactor, I could see the allure; in all other cases, a mix of wind, wave, geothermal, hydro and solar, alongside energy storage solutions, will continually outperform fission.

I suspect that the reason some countries like nuclear energy is that it also puts them in a position of nuclear power on the political stage.

Are those nine year olds also allowed to vote?

They just can’t get a break, can they?

So… it actually happened?

Oh, I thought I’d already made it clear that the west has totally failed to do the right thing here.

One of the best historical examples may be the Persian empire.
