Was this thread about a different WWIII? A lot of people think India and Pakistan will get into a nuclear Exchange at some point. They hate each other and have small Border battles all the time.

March 13, 20224 yr Author comment_877643 China calls for verification of Russian claims of US bioweapons help to Ukraine. Significant inasmuch as China is indirectly bankrolling Putin's efforts. Russian central bank decides not to reopen stock market trading next week. Who needs stock trading? Putin offers battle-hardened fighters from the Middle East up to $3,000 a month to reinforce Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Good luck with that. EDIT: Nationalize AAPL?

March 14, 20224 yr comment_877735 Here the antivaxx front is pivoting to deepthroating Putin's boot. The social climate is pretty rough as around 40% of the population here is Russian speaking. I'm kinda glad that a few days ago the police arrested a well known antivaxx evangelist for pro-Putin fake news dissemination and he was Latvian. Don't want the local Russians thinking that we're witch hunting them. Honestly, I am sorry for most of the local Russian population here as they'll have to always make sure that they're the right kind of Russian and not pro-Putin. Funnily enough, most of pro-Putin stuff comes from mixed families which are having a hard time finding their identity and hence are easy pickings for kremlin media. Report

March 14, 20224 yr comment_877742 It is on YouTube too - the link is for the full movie. And yes - HBO. The basic topic is how a limited nuclear war breaks out. In the days of the USSR. Thinking of James Earl Jones, we were lucky enough to see him on the London stage, with Vanessa Redgrave in Driving Miss Daisy. Front row seats. Around 10 years ago. Awsome. https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2011/oct/06/driving-miss-daisy-theatre-review Report
