Forums - Politics Discussion - Doomsday Clock ticks 30 seconds closer to midnight, thanks to Trump

bonzobanana on 27 January 2017

When Russia was the Soviet Union it said it was a communist socialist republic but was really a brutal dictatorship and now Russia claims to be a democratic country it is still a brutal dictatorship.

I don't think such a country can ever be safe on a world stage where any opponents of Putin disappear or face unjust legal action.

If it all goes sour Trump Vs Putin is going to be a very dangerous situation.

France, The UK, and Italy all have miltaries considered to be better than Turkey. Same ballpark at VERY least..Poland has over 1000 tanks, almost 500 warplanes, and 5 subs. Germany, with all the constraints they have had placed on them is no slouch either..At any rate, NATO is far from the US and Turkey show.

The only advantage UK and France has compared to Turkey is nuclear warheads. The rest is win for Turkey big time.

For example Turkey - UK

active military personel - 410,500 - 150,000

aircraft - 1007 - 879

fighter aircraft - 207-91

tank strenght - 3,778- 407

towed artillery - 697-138 

fleet strenght - 194-76

 

Poland army has old Soviet shit as weaponry. Mig22 - aircraft with no radar !!!!!!!

Simple as that. Last serious upgrade was made in 1970. And yes, we have those awesome FF16 and Leopand tanks what dont fit to our logistic system and can be repaired only in Germany...

Lmao, India is third on that list and that's practically a third world country. 

And China is first, which is similar to India. BRIC-countries have all very similar economically, and all of them rank high on the list.

Nah, the average Chinese person is definitely better off than your average Indian. But yeah, they're still below the level we enjoy in Europe or the USA.

I like how over the past several years the so-called doomsday clock has been closer to midnight than it was during the Cuban Missile Crisis which was arguably the height of the Cold War. Apparently they see global warming / climate change, which are both naturally occurring events, as bigger threats to the planet than mutually assured destruction due to nuclear war.

Alot of the things being said about Trump today are the same things people were saying about Reagan in the 80s... that we've got an old senile dude in the White House with his finger on the proverbial nuclear trigger. Despite all the alarm bells being rung by the media and the political left in the 80s, things turned out pretty well (for the most part) under Reagan. It will be no different under Trump, so everyone can just relax with the hysteria.

The rich got richer and the poor got poorer. That's your definition of things turning out pretty well? Not to mention that he mishandled the aids epidemy.

Russia was never Soviet Union, just one part of it. When Russia declared independence from Soviet Union, was when Soviet Union fell.

This is new. Never knew US having an AIDS epidemy. I always thought it was just Africa around Sahara to have AIDS epidemy. I remember reading about it even in school back in the 80's.

They have a population of 1.3 billion people, so those statistics don't really mean much. Most Indians are poor.

Fortunately you Europeans have all those young able bodied Muslim men to join your armies that you recently let in. You'll be kicking Russia's ass in no time. Well except those times of the day when their asses are pointing at the sun...

The only thing that doesnt mean much is ur uneducated wishful thinking. Economy of India is booming.

Most Indians are poor but this is coming to an end quickly.
