I agree in principle, but I feel like I should point out that mindset is very similar to what we all thought back in 2016, and he ended up ‘winning’ because we underestimated his chances. Unfortunately, we’ll just have to let hindsight be the judge
Ah. Misleading headline then
I’m no expert on international maritime law by ANY means, but how is this not an act of war against Egypt by Russia?

I’m pretty sure that’s how the saying goes
I agree that things have been worse in the past, mostly. I’m gonna paraphrase a video from Unlearning Economics I saw a while ago (pretty sure he was quoting someone but I can’t remember who):

How the world seems to be more and more fucked up every single day and how the vast majority of us simply don’t seem to care. Climate change, corporations quickly becoming the new States, politicians who just lie and lie with no consequences, AI being viewed as the magical cure-all for all these problems when really it’ll just make bad decisions easier to justify, and most of all, how people seem to view everyone else around them with more and more suspicion which eliminates even the faint hope we have of working together to solve some of these. Idk, take your pick, they all have the potential to be the death of us

Thinking the previous generations were better is a human tradition older than any other aspect of civilization

I am actually, this is exactly what I was looking for! You’re a saint
Lol wrong SSN, but I think you knew that
