How do we know??? I haven't seen this yet
Neutral Party here, you're both talking past each other but I also don't understand what either of you are trying to say hahahaha
Whoops ignore that, in my head I had written something about utilizing radioactive material in other weapons (like the US in Iraq) more generally. Removed the again, because I have no example of a dirty bomb definitively being used
Yeah dirty bombs are a different beast, and I hope nobody ever uses one because it's absolutely useless and despicable warfare. Airburst nukes are astonishingly destructive and should also never be used, but at least the land is fine to use again within a short period of time
In good news, nuked areas realistically don't see that much dangerous fallout for too long. This is not to downplay the destruction, but many have this view that it's similar to nuclear meltdown areas, but that's just not true at all. It's like several orders of magnitude less drastic in terms of lasting radiation no matter how you measure.
Would prefer no nukes, of course, as any sane person. But if Israel causes themselves to get nuked through their actions, I'm not gonna be as upset as I'd be if Palestinian land experienced a nuclear meltdown and spread of the material which results from fission.
Entirely in agreement. Given the 2 options, and the complex relations, it's the more strategically sound course. I hate that that's true, because if it weren't I could be more upset at a lack of action. But option 2 has a lower risk now and the more successful that strategy is (the longer they can maintain that course) the lower the risk of BOTH option 1 and option 2 in the future. The direct risk associated with option 1 is very high (war and destruction of China as a possibility) but they are accelerating ahead in a way which is constantly lowering that risk. Option 2, of course, has risks, but those are mostly risks associated with a loss of soft power in the Western Left. Global southern groups are generally more receptive to China's help than they are to our pleas for China to take over the world order and destroy the US.
For sure! But it makes protecting good leadership easier, I hope. Just gotta think of cool names, like Wool or Bronzer
Going underground has been a successful tactic, where the structure and leadership are opaque but actions are still clear. We also just exist in a world of surveillance which has made the lessons from the Bolsheviks in this case almost irrelevant. Lenin sat on a train with someone hunting him and wasn't caught. You gotta get 7 surgeries and wait 5 years to possibly pull that trick that he did by just not having known photographs spread far and wide.
The other people behind redsails (Nia, Alice, the Chinese guy who had a football player as his profile picture) are still active and not struggling like Roderic. Idk what that means for why redsails is paused but I'm sure it means something
Maybe it's terrible advice, but I would say just to explain all that in an email or something (sans any direct attempt to get him back/sans saying anything about 'love,' according to circumstances like relationship status and how your mental health would be affected). I'm sure it would be something that, even years later, might be nice to know for himself and it might lift this burden a bit from you. You just need to be candid and explain that you processes the passing of your mother in a way which you regret and likely wasn't best for you, and that he may have been hurt without this knowledge.
If you're both single and he replies with something accepting/sympathetic, you can take it from there with asking if you could see each other to explain more or catch up. But there's a chance he was also hurt and won't be happy. Idk, it's rough and I don't want to sound like I know everything about it. I've just experienced multiple times now that telling people things, even an apology 10 years later, usually feels good and people take it well

How would this even look? Russia and China become enemies because they sell to countries which happen to be enemies? I don't think either Russia or China would really care too much about that with each other. And both would choose each other over India or Pakistan, I think.
