alright, i'm sure many of us are closely following the news
regardless of our individual political opinions, there are some patterns that we've all seen
1) Economic fallout has been huge
2) Governments around the world are going into even more debt on top of existing debt
3) G7 countries ex Japan have all been affected with up to countrywide shutdowns and Pres T as the head of G7 in recent days has repeatedly called out China as the source
4) Japan's Olympics hangs in the balance, if cancelled would cause enormous financial fallout
5) China is trying to restart their economy while managing the optics
6) Nationalism has been on the rise for the past few years. once the 2-3x $1000 checks clear, probably Pres T's approval rating goes up more, and if/when reelected would have prob what would effectively be carte blanche on top of wartime powers act
7) With the economic fallout to the tune of trillions of dollars around the world, gotta be lots of people willing to sign up for the military
Treaty of Versailles tried to punish Germany by forcing them to pay enormous sums, but regardless of whether they "deserved it" or not, and how much was the "right sum" - eventually that backfired into everyone bc after a while Germany decided they had enough of being punished & completely pushed back, off the rails
so what happens now?
this all feels like the x-men movie now, lol
