implying that an election to choose a single representative for 300 million people with a 2-horse race is particularly democratic

excuse me, that is Biden with sunglasses lmao
It’s not confirmed publicly, but Sweden likely ended their nuclear weapons program in the 60s or 70s after pressure from the US. They finally decommissioned Ågestaverket in 2020, though they kept the facility open until then, presumably as a fallback option. Sweden has uranium deposits, so it would have been possible to build nuclear weapons during the Cold War if needed.
Now with NATO membership, they have instead imported American nuclear weapons to keep on Swedish soil. Not sure what will happen with their Swedish-American SOFA with Trump, it’s possible that Sweden will fall back on British and French nukes.
But yeah, I mentioned Ågestaverket, since its an example of a civilian reactor that was used for nuclear weapons, something that Ukraine could potentially do as well if the decision came to proliferate.
Russia is our enemy and Musk is committing espionage/treason by discussing American foreign policy with Russian officials, especially as someone with clearance.
game mechanics aren’t patentable?
boys and men / girls and women sounds right to me
Good detail in that article. With regard to plutonium, Sweden had a plutonium breeding reactor disguised as a civilian power plant called Ågestaverket. I think that Ukraine would be able to use an existing reactor for this, or retrofit it. But yeah, any Ukrainian nuclear program would obviously become a huge target by the Russian military, and potentially other nuclear states. Ideally these installations would be underground like Ågestaverket was. Even more ideal would be military guarantees from NATO.
or just let them join nato instead of proliferating?
Trump started plenty of wars https://youtu.be/QQYFVEka3fA
It would take them only a few months. Ukraine is filled with Soviet nuclear technology and Soviet nuclear engineers. They have nuclear reactors. Ukraine is richer than North Korea, and they have their own uranium mines. North Korea spent a couple billion on their nukes, but Ukraine’s military budget is $82B a year, so they could easily surpass North Korea.
Geopolitics experts agree that Ukraine could build a nuke if they wanted to. The issue is that the west definitely would not want to see a world where countries threatened by Russia turn to nuclear proliferation.
Here’s a video from a Danish military analyst talking about the decisions that have to be made on how to secure Ukraine after the war:
It’s important to note, Ukraine is willing to freeze the front line now in return for security guarantees. But If the US or the EU don’t step up to end the war soon, Ukrainian nuclear engineers will.
He’s clearly unrepentant. His behavior during the trial shows that.

no reason why Europe and the american opposition can’t be on the same side
You can yell at the train driver, you can make a team to stop the train, you can start building a new track, you can become a train driver yourself.
Unionize now, and then we’re organized and ready for January
Biden has full control over arms shipments, why don’t people pressure him to cut Israel off?
He’s a clown. He can’t decide for himself on abortion and is scared to be pushed on it. States shouldn’t listen to anything he says about abortion.
biden is still president
We need to stand up and resist the collapse of western democracy before its too late. Vote, correct misinformation, run for office, be annoying as hell.
very much literally burning things on the lawn of black families. He came all the way from Denmark to go into poorer neighborhoods in Sweden and say hateful things about the black and brown people there.
Prophetic because it calls people stupid after an undemocratic election?
