- personomas 3y agoHere comes WW3. One step at a time. We have to start preparing, it's coming.
- cookiengineer 3y agoThe next war will be a digital one, and it's already happening. "One began to hear it said that World War I was the chemists' war, World War II was the physicists' war, World War III (may it never come) will be the mathematicians' war."
- hulitu 3y agoThe WWIV will be fought with stones.
- psychoslave 3y agoI have a wonderful proof by mathematical induction for this, but it wouldn’t hold in the margin of an HN comment.

- fragmede 3y agowhat do you mean "here comes"? we're already in it, are you paying attention?
- personomas 3y agoYeah, I wouldn't necessarily call it a WW yet. But I don't disagree with you per se either. You have to realize, I'm talking to those people who think WW3 is a conspiracy theory and will never happen (crazy European socialists above all).

- personomas 3y agoNo, no, no. Everything has been outsourced because taxes and bureaucracy have gone through the roof. We need to reduce taxes. One we can do that is by getting rid of medicare (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40028963 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40028963). We need to move away from socialism and towards more free-market and liberals policies. Socialism is the greatest source of our problems.

- ars 3y agoWe should sanction China, and the US is considering it: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/08/yellen-us-ready-to-sanction-china-for-supporting-russian-military.html https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/08/yellen-us-ready-to-sanction-... It will be painful though, people in the US enjoy the low prices of goods from China.
- rightbyte 3y agoWho are "we" in this context? I got quite a long list of governments that I think should be sanctioned due to weapon export and war, and it surely includes the US.
- fractallyte 3y agoThere's a reason Russia is the biggest country on Earth[1]: its aggression. Those "republics" didn't just fall into Russian hands of their own accord, they were conquered, usually in the most brutal ways imaginable. Sandwiched between NATO and Russia, Ukraine is the only country that dared to fight back - and it's currently the only country that is able to defeat Russia without triggering a world war. With Russia shifting to a war economy[2] essentially unopposed, the situation is getting more and more dangerous. Self defense is not "escalation". Allowing the bully to continue to terrorize its neighbors is escalation. Our politicians simply do not learn from history. We need better qualified leaders.

- protomolecule 3y ago"There's a reason Russia is the biggest country on Earth: its aggression. Those "republics" didn't just fall into Russian hands of their own accord, they were conquered" That's comical that an American writes that. Is it ignorance or extreme hypocrisy? You should learn how the US appeared on the continent that belong to Native Americans. How the US grew through wars with its neighbors who too stole a part of the continent from the Native Americans. Learn about reservations, about the trail of tears and about many other crimes of European invaders and their successors against the only people who own the right to be called Americans. Watch 'Killers of the Flower Moon' if you prefer movies. "usually in the most brutal ways imaginable" And learn the Russian history too. Rarely Russian Empire did anything that can be compared to the crimes of European colonizers. "Our politicians simply do not learn from history." The irony.
