Here's my hot take, just as a hobbyist obsessed with the bomb: the only reason a state builds the bomb anymore is because they're threatened by a state that has one. Deterrence actually worked.
Iran doesn't because Israel is insane and they know it.

Kinda weird when the Fundamentalist Religious State is somehow more sane than the rest of the world

Oh Iran could have nukes whenever, they've chosen not to. That's the whole thing.

For sure, and I *know* that. But every once in awhile the situation is so obvious, the path so clear, that their absolute unwillingness to act still baffles me. I should know better, but their incompetence still bewilders and astounds.

Lol I had the exact opposite experience. I saw that betubbed Benicio and my brain immediately knew *new Wes Anderson* with a pure and flawless certainty.

Wait, why would you mute Joyce? Sure she has some horrible takes but when she's on she's one of the best posters out there.

Look up what a non-aggression pact is. Then look up how many Allied powers made non-aggression pacts with Hitler even as Stalin was calling for an anti-Nazi pact. You're embarrassing.

See, unlike Face/Off where both Travolta and Cage are doing amazing ham (Cage is better but there's an argument), when talking about the Soviet Union and the fucking Nazis, there is no comparison. Anyone trying to do so is a fucking moron or a Nazi.

I probably even agree with you on Putin and Ukraine. You're just such a stupid propagandized person you have to draw on the bullshit anti-communism you were brainwashed with when you were six

Such a weird movie for me. I think it's incredible and also I think it's bad at the same time? Sure it's a contradiction but it's also a perfect encapsulation of how I feel about Ridley and his body of work? Fassbender absolutely kills it though

"Often" isn't doing the work it needs to here. I'm hard pressed to think of a socialist project that didn't win in terms of physical well being. Like you have to get destroyed or sabotaged by the Capitalist projects for it to turn sour.
