  • How is the US benefitting from this?

    Draining the resources of geopolitical rival without dead troops, weapons exports and lucrative contracts for reconstruction.

    You should read war is a racket https://ratical.org/ratville/CAH/warisaracket.html

    The guy who wrote it, smedley butler, was a highly decorated major general

    Capital loves war which is why the US has been at war for something like 92% of its miserable existence. Of course the average person gets fucked

  • It’s wild how fast these spread in the era of climate change

    I was listening to a podcast where the host was interviewing somebody who wrote a book on the 2016 fort McMurray fires, this is similar, but basically the fire throws off so much radiant heat that by the time it gets to a house that house will be like 900 degrees so they don’t just catch fire they literally explode into flames, whole houses burned to the slab in 2-5 minutes; fire breaks are cut but the embers just fly up and over and since everything is so dry it’s like the ground is soaked in gasoline… hell scenes. I feel so bad for those people.

    I also feel like it’s a good idea to make a plan for when a natural disaster like this inevitably hits. Maybe it’s flooding, maybe a tornado, fires or whatever but nowhere is safe now, it’s basically a lottery where you lose everything if your number is called and every year the odds increase in your favor. What would I do if I had to leave my home to be destroyed in 24 hours? Where would I go?
