  • I’m gonna try to work though your comment in the order you wrote it. I agree with the first bit. About China and Russia taking the piss… Though I’m not sure about China, they might play the long game. I think Taiwan would be tricky in lots of ways. I think China won’t move on Taiwan until the rest of the world is looking elsewhere. I don’t think Russia will try to nuke Europe or Ukraine in the next few years. But I could be wrong, Russia isn’t something I’d want to bet on either way. They’re certainly snidey and aggressive. Yeah, Israel and Iran is a fuckin dangerous hotspot. Don’t like that at all. North Korea, I dunno I would have said a year ago that they all gob and no knob, but I don’t like how they getting snuggly with Russia. NK soldiers are going to Ukraine if they not already there. Hopefully India and Pakistan can chill the fuck out about Kashmir. But I don’t know how close to boiling point they are. Yeah, I’m not American but the impression I get from social media and mates there is that you’re about right, a whole proportion of the population is kinda fucky. And another trump presidency could be extremely harmful. And trump is a symptom of a problem with America, he could croak tomorrow and the danger would remain - because of that third of the USA population you referred to.

    Plus there’s non-state actors to worry about.












  • I didn’t even look at the thumbnail. I’m a man btw. If I had to rewrite that sign it might say ‘NOT ALL MEN - JUST TOO MANY’. Or, I dunno, something like that.

    I kinda feel like, for blokes there are two important things we can do. Aside from stop having arguments about who’s the bigger victim (it’s women). First is just don’t do that shit. Just don’t. It’s actually easy and rewarding to not be a bad person. Second is don’t let any other guys get away with even talking like that. Even if they’re mates, step the fuck up and let them know that talk is not okay. Let’s be honest, many of us have heard our mates talk about women in a way we weren’t quite comfy with and afterwards thought we should have said something. Say something.
