If Europeans don’t make weapons of war, someone will eventually conquer them.

And y’know, we have yet to see open, full-scale war between atomic powers. Nuclear deterrence seems to work (for now).

I’m not opposed to Europe responding but America proves if there is stock on the shelf it will find a home.

War, it’s a nasty business.

  1. USA isn’t Europe.

  2. Being conquered is nasty business, too. Ask the inhabitants of Bucha if you find any.

Again, not trying to discourage Europeans but instead just make the general population aware of what the future entails.

America’s weapons would probably have expired on the shelf if they weren’t used in Ukraine.

Surely, this is a this-is-why-we-can’t-have-nice-things situation. Fuck Putin

Showerthoughts

!showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Create post

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
