While true, most groups of adults with power over children don't have a wealthy, trans-national organization that spent decades shuffling them around, hiding their crimes, and silencing victims.

When I hear someone pegging the "normalization" or beginning of something to an arbitrary year, I just read that as "This is about the year when I started to become aware of the world around me, but not its history."

Without in any way trying to draw the collective wrath, I think it's worth saying that being "10x" isn't really brilliance, it's just high productivity. This is doubly true when the work being done is not exactly gr

Very much so, part of it is undoubtedly the result of changing social norms, politics, and a broadening middle class... part of it is an increased population and changing economics from globalization and other factors.

It's a classic example of "The best time to do it was yesterday, the second best time to do it is today." We're on Trump's second term, the countries facing Russia would be insane to rely on us or respect agreements

Again, when we're talking about warfare, there is a strong economic and industrial dimension. Unless the scope of your warfare is limited to extremely fatalistic worst-case scenarios. Russia was on the ropes in many ways because of the

The Germans have the money, the largest GDP in the EU and France is a distant second (would be third if you counted the UK though). At the end of the day there is no EU without Germany, and as we've seen with Ukraine, waging a war with

Without in any way indulging in the delusion of a united Europe, in which Germany is willing to subordinate itself to France, one thing is worth saying: The UK does have a nuclear arsenal, but it's essentially leased from the US.

There is an issue of the time scales involved, after all if you take it far enough oil and gas are just undoing what geological epochs did, and will do again. Personally though no I don't think a wood burning stove is an issue, other t

1 Is definitely a factor, after all these are the same people who've been crowing about their sacrifice and bravery in cutting off Russian oil and gas, despite not actually doing any such thing. https://energyandcleanair.org

If the point was about trade with adversaries why include Brazil? Anyway the point is about taking a side in a WAR and then maintaining lucrative trade with the side in that war you're against. I don't think it's hard to unde

The US cut its total trade with Russia from $16B in 2019, down to $2B in 2024. The US did this in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, because it saw the absurdity of arming the Ukrainians while funding the Russians. Europe on the o

I don't really think this is going to materialize, this is the same Europe that's been merrily buying Russian oil and gas during a war they're allegedly against. https://energyandcleanair.org/publication/

It really feels like you're responding to thinks I didn't write. I didn't say that the US provides most aid, I didn't say that other countries aren't pulling their fair share. I'm saying that with Trump right n

I'm not really interested in "aid as a giving contest" and that's the only context in which per capita matters; otherwise the only measure that counts is absolute numbers, because that's what programs run on.

That doesn't seem reasonable, doubly so when Trump wasn't exactly a disaster that emerged in seconds, he was elected in November. If billions could be raised to rebuild Notre Dame almost overnight, surely this can find much more m

I'd rephrase that... The press should always be worthy of our trust, but unfortunately has a history of being driven by ideology, money, and the desire to build an audience.

It's undoubtedly a terrible thing to cut off funding for these commitments, but... the article makes it sound like DOOM is the forgone conclusion. We're talking about half a billion a year, the US is hardly the only entity on Eart

Maybe if they build a few more data centers, they'll be able to construct their machine god. Just a few more dedicated power plants, a lake or two, a few hundred billion more and they'll crack this thing wide open. And maybe Tesla
