They can't even take a strait, or maintain equipment, and have issues with feeding their people. So yes, the us should totally try to "take" over the moon.

Invading an undefended unpopulated rock might just be achievable by the current US military. Although I have some doubt that anyone in the current US administration knows about the lack of oxygen.

Please don't tell them, in fact maybe tell them that moon rocks can be eaten and that they hate trump.

At this stage he stopped having any shock value. It's the race to the bottom as Putin and Xi are prepared for the moment the US collapses.

Well putin and trump are speed running the end of empires, I think China at this point could at least get a base working on the moon. The other two.... eh maybe get there, fuck something up and die?

In this context, a pronouncement like this from the "leader", or even the dementia-riddled tribal figurehead, of the US could be disastrous. Regardless of his proclivity to write his name in water, or the general understanding that we're dealing with someone who was always emotionally and intellectually stunted, the world could watch as China starts to unlock the deeper potential of space scien...

To your point, creating a Kessler Syndrome event would effectively keep any other nations from even attempting much in the way of space exploration for a few centuries. It seems that Musk and Bezos are trying to create one.

Oh come on. Everyone knows that after planting the flag, Neil Armstrong licked the ground and by official playground rules... Mine! Was declared making the moon property of the US 😂

Fun fact: Moon dirt, formally known as lunar regolith, is incredibly sharp. The particles it's made up of aren't weathered by wind or water like they are on earth, so it's basically a soil made out of tiny tiny knives. If you breathe it in or lick it, it'll tear your insides apart like super-asbestos.

He's elderly, ill, and has dementia, on top of the fact that he may very well be the dumbest human to walk the earth in several millennia, this is not news to anyone.

That's what's blowimg my mind. Yeah he's old, demented, has always been surrounded by dumb yes men. But even putting that aside, he's just as dumb as a sack of rocks. Always has been.

Gasoline is $5. Diesel is $7.

Per gallon? Holy shit, no wonder everyone buys gas guzzlers over there. Germany is paying nine plus dollar per gallon for gasoline.

Anyone old enough can remember when Boris Yeltsin was stumbling around, drunk as a skunk & the other russians would pretend that everything was fine. Now its your turn USA - and remember what came after Yeltsin

When Yeltsin passed, the average alcohol consumption worldwide fell by about 10%.

It's not too bad as he isn't saying the moon is a projection or that the earth is flat, like many of his followers. But the fact there is something seriously wrong is what we all know since he first ran for president, or even before that. Nothing has changed ever since. The guy is deranged. He's like Hitler, while missing a few chromosomes.

Russians also describe 1990s Russia as an economic wasteland where all of Russia's wealth and resources were gathered up by oligarchs. So yeah, pretty apt analogy.

I wonder what would have happened if this imbecilic self-indulgence had come after China had successfully launched Chang'e 7. And by "wonder" I mean "dread". Chang'e 7, whose launch has been delayed, is a highly ambitious and comprehensive (uncrewed) lunar mission incorporating four separate vehicles into a single launch and mission: orbiter, fixed lander, rover, and - an innovative "hopper", w...

Its said he used to be quite charming and manipulative, so its not really stupidity. I think he may have a personality disorder. His choices often aren’t contemplated, but rash and emotional.

There’s also a pattern to his actions. Absolutely none of his decisions seem to be governed by empathy, morality, ideology, strategic national interests or even long term personal interests. Instead, nearly all his actions seem impulsive and emotional, aimed at satisfying his short term personal need for gratification, admiration or payback.

His frequent tantrums, his impulsive decision making, his inability to maintain composure, his inability to maintain professional relationships, together they all point to some sort of mental illness.

His cronies will try to keep him in power as long as possible, so that their schemes keep getting greenlit. Also, they have stupid fucking Vance prepped up.

I wonder if Trump will run in the 2028 primaries.

IIUC, the last years of the USSR, and the 1990s, had relatively low world oil prices.

They might even lack the understanding of what oxygen is. And might deter it since I've heard that the LGBTQ community uses it. Also furries.
