Nuclear threats have evolved into a multipolar, high-risk era:

Global arsenals hold 12,200+ warheads (90% with Russia/U.S.), but Cold War safeguards are collapsing.

New START expires Feb 2026 → no limits on U.S./Russian deployments.

Hypersonic missiles, AI decision-making, and accidental launches.

Human error remains critical: Leaders’ instability + false alarms could trigger catastrophe.

Single miscalculation risks nuclear winter and global famine.

At least some important things are more clear with Trump, he's less hypocritical than Dems and others, no need to argue indefinitly more with people who understand nothing of #US foreign policies and respond "you have no proof of that"😀

#Trump said he destroyed #Nordstream2 in front of the German Chancellor #Merz who is just "listening".

#Tracking code that Meta and #Russia - based Yandex embed into millions of websites is de-anonymizing visitors by abusing legitimate #Internet protocols, causing #Chrome and other browsers to surreptitiously send unique identifiers to native apps installed on a device, researchers have discovered. #Google says it's investigating the abuse, which allows Meta and Yandex to convert ephemeral web identifiers into persistent #mobile #app user identities.

Astronomers have discovered a new class of cosmic explosions called Extreme Nuclear Transients. ENTs occur when a massive star, at least three times heavier than the sun, drifts too close to a supermassive black hole, resulting in the obliteration of the star and the emission of plumes of energy.

The most powerful ENT documented in a study generating 25 times more energy than the most powerful known supernovae.

American manufacturers are experiencing supply chain disruptions similar to the COVID-19 pandemic due to tariffs and trade wars.

Delivery times for supplies are increasing, and material prices are rising at a faster rate. Tariffs are causing delays in customs clearance and supplier negotiations.
The longer the disruptions last, the longer it takes to rectify them, even if tariffs are removed.

I haven't seen it said anywhere so me go: The Billionaire Bitch Fight™️ should be the thing to finally teach the opposition that the MAGA alliance has the structural integrity of wet toilet paper.

This is just one specific fault line but the GOP bloc is riddled with them; it's just about mobilizing the many, many wedge issues & hammering on them, and the whole rotten apparatus will collapse like an unstrung puppet.

Betsey Piette discusses the challenges the US faces in containing global opposition. Three main challenges are highlighted:

the resistance of Palestinians and people in West Asia for a free Palestine

China's resistance to US capitalist domination of the global economy

the growing awareness among young people that they have no future under capitalism

Piette emphasizes the importance of young activists and workers developing a global perspective.

A report by Morgan Stanley predicts the US dollar will weaken and reach pandemic lows by the middle of next year. The dollar's decline is attributed to interest rate cuts and slowing growth, as well as trade policies and uncertainty. The bank also predicts 10-year Treasury yields will reach 4% this year and decline significantly next year due to Federal Reserve rate cuts.

Hier gibt's auch eine Meldung dazu, was Merz konkret gesagt hat

Grundlage für die Angabe des stark gestiegenen Antisemitismus sind die RIAS-Zahlen, die Merz Migranten in die Schuhe schiebt.

Wir wissen ja, dass sie RIAS-Zahlen inhaltlich völlig intransparent sind, und auch auf Massenmeldung eines Aufklebers beruhen können, mit einer Meinung die RIAS nicht mag.

So schließt sich dann auch wieder der Kreis. Der Antisemitismusvorwurf als Tool rechtsextremer Agitation.

911, and ideally they would alert a tactical response team with a negotiator to get on a helicopter while they gather details and form a plan in transit that would reflect their training for these situations. Have four of these teams in each state. police cordon off the area and monitor the situation to keep the team updated while they are in transit and to watch the entrances and exits while the staff that were already in the building, including resource officers, would be doing what they could to get people away or get them to the safest place they can. Police force as an intervention would be a last resort scenario, as escalation in these situations will only guarantee more dead. The police have no obligation to protect or serve under the current laws, they are not required to do fuck all, they should not be the people you expect to save or help you, they only exist at this point to punish you and bind you.

Congrats! You win a prize for offering the first actual answer to the question without simply attacking me for my perceived biases. 🏆

In most mass shootings I doubt negotiation is going to get very far - and the delay may cause more deaths. Many times the perpetrator simply commits suicide. These are folks who have hit 'fuck it' and are looking to end it all and cause a lot of damage on the way out. Often by the time police are even able to respond they've done most of the damage they will do already.

The rest sounds an awful lot like SWAT.

LandedGentry doesn't like this.

in reply to atzanteol

You’re right, there is no perfect answer so we should just do nothing and allow the cops to do whatever the fuck they want and give them immunity for everything. If we can’t have it absolutely perfect every time then we should just let things go to their worst possible situation, right? Otherwise we’d have to accept that the system isn’t perfect.

Go fuck yourself you stagnant kowtowing twat.

Edit: Yes, SWAT is a tactical response team trained for these specific situations. Way to point out that we actually already have these units ready to be used, you god damned idiot.

Your trophy is taken back. Sorry - I thought you were serious.

Where did you get this from? I genuinely don't understand the childish level of anger I'm getting for asking a legitimate question. When people say "never call the cops" they neglect to say what one should do instead. Just hide in a corner and wait for inevitable death?

Go fuck yourself you stagnant kowtowing twat.


Kowtowing to WHO??? Are you people crazy or something?

Besides mod logs, is there a better way for the Fediverse to keep track of malicious actors, such as Kiwi farms members, Nazi apologists, and genocide deniers?

The voyger mobile app allows you to tag users and see how many times you've upvoted abd downvoted them. If you have an idea you can suggest it as a feature on github. Outside of that you can only really block and report if their behaviour breaks the rules.

At the moment its up to the community at the moment to weed out those kinds of people.
