Should we go to war with Russia to save the economy?

The heartbreak and misery that bastard is inflicting is unbelievable. I feel/hope he will be held accountable in one way or another. I hope Ukraine, with the help of the west, kick their asses and kills Putin.

I don’t think my view is simplistic at all. I could explain more but it would turn into a book lol

I say it's simplistic because it's most likely based on 20th century or early 21st century leftist literature. In my opinion you're lacking in understanding modern technologies and the potential that has. You are still thinking about the bosses vs workers narratives. In the future we won't need bosses nor workers. We are gonna have general purpose artificial intelligence that is gonna be able to displace white collar workers too (instead of only blue collar workers that can be displaced by robotics).

The steepest part of the S curve is still ahead of us. That's the nature of exponential growth. First little by little, and then all at once.

I bet you didn't know the following: If you take a normal A4 piece of paper that is thick 0.1mm, and you were able to fold it 50 times, the thickness of that paper would be from here to the sun. You can do the math. Human brains just isn't capable of understanding such exponential growth. :)

What you are proposing is not the status quo. We still mainly have workers and bosses. If as you say robots will replace most jobs in the future, then yes everything needs to adjust. I don’t think it will happen as quick as you think, remember if you are old enough what the series Space 1999 thought things would be in the future. So many science fiction films look silly now cos they got it so wrong.
So I talk about politics in the real world now. I know INFJs try and avoid the real world and would rather be an avatar but get real

yes I’ve heard the paper folding thing. In practice you can’t get past is it about 6 or 7 folds? . It’s an exponential curve.
 
They accidentally took out one of their best pieces of Russian history. The Antonov An-225 Mriya is no more, formerly the worlds largest plane and part of the Russian space program was destroyed in the Ukraine airbase fights. Smart move Putin, they should have been Put-in that elsewhere.

Had to laugh at this one, got to love farmers lol.

lol, that tank would actually be useful for farming, it could pull things out of mud awesome. I'd definitely take it home. If it had any sort of security you could bypass it fairly easily by ripping out all the electronics and putting in simple motor controllers, steering could be complicated though.

Don't even have to do that much as security with Soviet era tanks is pretty much non existent and the steering isn't all that much to master once one got used to it. The problem much later on is lack of parts but any diesel shop could repair one of these without there being too much trouble.
 
Almost every war specialist the news channels interview the narrative seems to be "Ahh yes well Putin is just trying to scare NATO with the nuclear option, he's said it before so we didn't intervene in Ukraine and he said it again during the recent negotiations just to scare NATO so doesn't it doesn't get involved"

So I was watching the DW news "to the point" program on youtube and the first "specialist" almost said word for word the narrative above, but wait we have another person to chime in.... Welcome DW colleague Vladimir Esipov from our Russia desk who joins us from London:

"I would not be surprised if Russia goes for a nuclear option especially if Europe threatens to shutdown swift and taken down Russian banks with swift as a nuclear option in terms of sanctions, so Russia will just send a friendly reminder to Europe that Russia has a nuclear option as well"

THANKS VLADIMIR, now I can sleep easy knowing a potential world war is coming.
