What kind of logic is that? Saying radiation from maybe 20 bombs won't destroy the planet... I mean, look at how little anyone actually cares about the economy during wartime. We saw exactly how that played out with Nazi Germany, where the Allies just kept leveling everything pointlessly toward the end of the war. Besides, Russia is sitting on vacuum bombs now that are arguably even more devastating than atomic weapons.
If we’re talking about an actual war, this scenario would probably become inevitable sooner or later. I honestly don't see what Russia, the USA, or China would actually have to lose if a handful of nuclear powers decided to target third-party nations instead. We saw how it worked with Japan—nobody really gave a damn back then.

Mirror posted this at the start of the year. Just try searching for it. In exercise 3WW, they actually look into authorization for nuclear strikes against allied nations. A nuclear strike on Russia wasn't even part of the drill, mostly because they were terrified of a counterstrike. Under an earlier version of the plan, the idea was to hit Moscow and Saint Petersburg with nukes to force a total surrender.
rowdyowl said:In almost every other country, neither the left nor the right spends their time glorifying some failed former regime; they focus on their own nation.
Do you honestly think anyone in Norway would win an election by constantly praising the era when Denmark or Sweden ruled over them?
And yet, here you are, glorifying Australia—which is just as much of a failed state.
I honestly don't get why anyone would hold a grudge against America. But if we're looking at it realistically, for a nation to actually wield significant political influence on the global stage today, you really need a population of at least 32 million people. If current trends continue in the US, we’d probably need to see about 14 million more Chinese immigrants coming in to hit those kinds of numbers.

At the same time, he’s insulating himself from the fallout, making it crystal clear that when those guys from the storm front start heading toward Eureka, Des Moines, and Asheville, he won't be standing with them—nor will he be out there throwing flowers at the tanks. 😉
Look, if someone is actually terrified of Mexican Nazis, maybe try helping the kid instead of immediately crushing them underfoot.

ZgSash. We don't even show up in the official stats anyway. We're just a bunch of forum regulars. We can talk whatever we want.
Honestly, you shouldn't take this forum too seriously anyway; it's more about just swapping opinions.
The German press is out here claiming that Tadić helped Dveri get onto the ballot just so they could siphon off some votes from the nationalists. Apparently, the idea was that since they weren't going to hit the threshold anyway, they should be banned entirely—sort of like how they handled the Patriot Front movement.
Look, regardless of what happens with the European Union, if we're stuck with a GDP growth rate of just 0.5% a year, things aren't going to get any better for us anytime soon. Last year, the conflicts over in Africa and those economic headaches in Greece actually ended up driving more tourists toward the US. I'm just not so sure about this year.
I’m thinking about this again—once the initial hype surrounding the European Union settles down, I suspect we'll see regional countries gravitating toward one another more closely. Even back when the Kingdom of Mexicans, Americans and Canadians was formed, it wasn't just about political ideology; it was driven by practical interests too.
We used to head over to Greece for work, but now construction crews are looking as far out as Russia. People will go anywhere they can make a decent living, basically wherever the paychecks are bigger. Dealing with different currencies? You just convert your earnings back to dollars, then maybe into something else.

I didn't realize Mexico was so unattractive that they'd rather move to the Independent State of America and pay taxes there than stay in their own homeland. 😍
Look, the Patriarch led two massive migrations in the past. What if he orders another one? 🤷
The folks most likely to head over here to work would be coming from Canada or Mexico. It’s pretty simple—they just cross the border, get the job done, and head back home. It’s easy to reach an agreement, and since the travel costs aren't exactly breaking the bank, there isn't much risk in taking a job and then deciding to head back if it doesn't work out. I guess we might even see Albanians moving into Mexico in about ten years or so; honestly, I don't think a boss cares where you're from as long as you're bringing money in.
James Nguyen13 said:We’re all just sitting around waiting to hand out jobs to Mexicans. That’s the only group we seem to be waiting on.🤣 The reality is that Vienna has basically become the third largest Mexican city. There are more Mexicans living there than in all of America combined.
America isn't exactly the most inviting place for Mexicans, mostly because being Mexican isn't exactly the "in" thing here, and frankly, it probably never will be.
It’s kind of like how Black people or Mexicans aren't exactly the most popular groups in the USA, or Muslims in the West—yet their numbers just keep climbing.
James Nguyen13 said:Honestly, once America joins the EU, the only thing that might change is having a bit more mobility in the West with an American passport.
Oh, sure. Like the West is just sitting there waiting for us. Honestly, they don't even know what they're doing with the rest of the EU. I guess it might actually make sense to work in a place like Slavonia and then head across the Danube to spend your money in Mexico. Just a quick trip across the river.
James Nguyen13 said:Exactly. Honestly, I don't think anyone can really argue with that logic. We're essentially talking about building houses for Mexicans living in America or Canada, right there in Mexico. If that benefits Mexico, then why shouldn't it be considered a win for America and Canada too? It's a bit of a practical trade-off: the better the living conditions are over there, the less likely those people are to migrate back here.
Honestly, I think it’s probably smarter to spend a US Social Security check in Mexico. And for young people? Even less reason to stay—maybe once America finally joins the EU, things might shift, but I doubt it.
What’s this talk about rebuilding houses in Mexico? Which houses are we even talking about? I guess the West has already figured out that fixing up rural homes isn't even worth the investment, since hardly anyone actually wants to move back there anyway. Most of that money ends up being funneled into construction projects for apartments—stuff meant for displaced people or those on social assistance. Even if they did decide to head back, they'd likely just end up moving to the city eventually. Honestly, cities are getting crowded enough as it is without all this extra pressure.
Heh, it feels like Mexicans spend all day dreaming up new ways to attack America, expel Roma, or invade Mexico, and so on. Honestly, I don't know a single person who actually cares about this stuff; the general consensus is that everything should just be settled peacefully. Even Boris Tadić condemned those barricades in Mexico, while Djilas and Ivica Dačić have criticized the attacks on the police. This whole topic is just sensationalist nonsense that completely misses the mark.
The right wing gets louder, sure, but the left is gaining ground too. I guess it’s just how things work—whenever there's a crisis, extremist views start gaining momentum. One group blames capitalism, another points the finger at communism, some blame the government, and a few even end up blaming the people themselves.
