I don't think we're yet at the point where a nuclear NATO v Russia war is inevitable but it feels like we're getting too close for comfort. It's certainly the most uneasy since the Cuban Missile Crisis of the early 60s or at least perhaps the tension of the early 80s that nearly lead to a war over a computer malfunction. 90 seconds to midnight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviewevie Posted Saturday at 05:18 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 05:18 PM Hamas attack on Oct 7th not only led to their near destruction along with the rest of Gaza, but also huge damage to Hezbollah and now this in Syria, and has made Iran look a lot weaker than it did. Israel looks stronger than ever, and now has an even more pro Israel president on the way. An unprecedented disaster for Hamas, Iran's proxies, and now maybe Assad.

charlierc Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago Well, the South Korean situation is unexpected and given there's been a lot of criticism of it even from the President's own party, let alone the opposition, begs the question as to why.

I would guess that green voters havent abandoned the green party because of the introduction of a carbon tax. Seems more likely that that was a rare win in otherwise having to swallow a truckload of free market, anti environment sh*t. The lib dems weren’t unpopular after the uk coalition because they managed to get same sex marriage done, but because they also submitted to tory austerity and u turned on pretty much all their manifesto commitments (ie the reasons people voted for them).

Potentially - a majority of South Korean MPs voted to block martial law and under their constitution, that means it can't happen according to a Guardian summary. Still, makes ya think what the hell's going on there for the President to go mental in such a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
