here's a bbc article: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy83r93l208o

> The prime minister said his government was also "carefully examining" France's proposal to include Europe under its nuclear umbrella.

> "I would like to know first of all in detail what it means in terms of the authority over these weapons," he said.

> Tusk pointed out Ukraine was invaded after it got rid of its own nuclear arsenal, adding Warsaw would like to acquire its own nuclear weapons, however remote a possibility that may be.

> "Today, it is clear that we would be safer if we had our own nuclear arsenal, that is beyond doubt. In any case the road to that would be very long and there would have to be a consensus too," he said.

also, fuck trump and fuck anyone who thought letting him wreck the modern world was a good idea because it'd make them richer or make it easier to harm groups they don't like.

I'd like echo that statement. We are all less safe because of these assholes. This will escalate now, more and more countries will realize they cannot rely on the good 'ol USA anymore, and will arm themselves. MAGA has done more in the last 3 weeks to cause WW III than anything done in the last 50 years. It occurs to me again: Something that takes 1000 good people decades to build can be destroyed overnight by idiots. Fuck these guys to eternity.
