The people who would be okay with this already don’t own computers, they go with a phone.

They are complaining about having to pay taxes and having that tax money spent in social services.

EU is closer than NATO.

NATO says that if someone gets attacked, everyone else responds in a way they think is appropriate.

EU says that if someone gets attacked, everyone goes all out without consideration.

IMO it’s great but it is a departure from earlier titles in more than just going to 3D, and the sides are a 90s caricature of the US/China/Middle-Eastern people, so it’s something that you definitely couldn’t make today.

Like the “terrorist” side gets suicide bombers and a unit called “angry mob” to which Chinese flamethrowers or American snipers are a good counter, while China gets two soldiers for the price of one and propaganda loudspeakers everywhere that makes units fight harder.

The story is barely there as well, which was a strong point of the RA2 and Tiberium universes.

Thanks, it is, in fact.

I haven’t really read into this because the whole thing is so insane that if it happens all bets are off.

The thing that is a huge wildcard is how Denmark and the rest of the EU react.

In the sense that the EU is an obligatory military alliance closer than even NATO, so in essence if Denmark considers itself at war, so is France and her nuclear submarine fleet.

This day is to be remembered.

There are options. Dumping US bonds would collapse the US, and the only thing that makes it hard is the US economy collapsing would be a bad thing for the EU right now.

Also, protracted resistance. Greenland is harsh territory, and Nordic weekend soldiers regularly beat US marines in exercises in cold weather warfare.

The USSR lost half a million in Afghanistan, 50k to fighting, 450k to the environment. And they didn’t need to resupply via the Atlantic.

Also, the Nordics probs have the world’s best submarine interdiction fleet, and most of the Cold War era US anti-sub stuff is actually reliant on Greenland, Iceland and the UK cooperating.

Nordic subs regularly score hits on US carriers in exercises.

Is it only me that had the C&C Generals Nuke Cannon tagline going off in their heads saying BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN in a deliberate voice and a heavy Chinese accent?

Solar is technically fusion though

I can already imagine articles of Americans dying of thirst because all their water has been taken to cool datacenters that use terribly inefficient algorithms to solve Candy Crush levels for me.

And that is deliberate

An IBCM is hard to hide. And they don’t need to.

And a lot of ESL speakers will write in a mishmash, since they read off of the Internet with mixed sources.

How do you know they honour your decision to deny them the footage, instead of taking it without your knowledge or consent?

Except your GPU fans will start screaming when you press skip.

IIRC the USA does not have intercontinental missile launch sites in anywhere but the US. The US nukes in Europe are all plane borne bombs.

Those can’t really be launched unless both the US and the host country agree, and France and the UK have a bunch of those as well.

Some idiot with too much money is already on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Games

Athletes are adults … and they have a right to do with their body what they wish - my body, my choice; your body, your choice, … And no government, no paternalistic sports federation, should be making those decisions for athletes

Except for living as their gender dictates apparently, as:

According to D’Souza, athletes should also be categorised based on their chromosomal sex.

That said, if I understand this correctly, they are basically making, letting and forcing (select the one you like) trans men to compete in women’s sports.

Europe has nuclear weapons closer to the US than Greenland.

Technically, if everything works as if on paper, an attack on Greenland is an attack on Denmark. An attack on Denmark is an attack on France, according to EU articles, which are more tightly binding than NATO ones. And the French have nukes on subs floating under the Atlantic in undisclosed places, and their nuclear doctrine is basically “we use nukes as warning shots”.

In practice, just selling all US securities and cash reserves held by Europe would basically cause the US economy to implode overnight, and the US government to have to declare bankruptcy, and stop being able to pay or even feed its soldiers.

The problem is that it would also cause a deep recession in the EU and basically all over the world, so that’s why we’re playing chicken.

“Today, that recklessness cost someone their life,” he said, adding that it was "predictable and avoidable.”

That was not “recklessness”. Drinking milk after five vodka shots is recklessness. It was murder. You don’t accidentally murder someone.
