I absolutely love that the tyrannical bullying by the US is going to result in a globally-visible solar win.

That being said, now I worry that this administration will simply bomb them from existence to keep it from happening.

It is hilarious how America is suiciding itself at multiple levels with its latest dick-wagging:

  • It's seriously pissing off its allies and pushing neutrals away.
  • It's showing the US' force projection capabilities as a much smaller and weaker stick than they have been boasted as being.
  • It's acceleraring the move away from Oil and the USD status as Reserve Currency is linked to Oil trade and when it ends, well, Helloo hyperinflation!
  • It's acceleraring the move away from Oil when the US is commercially doubling down on Oil, which means that the US is stuck in a commercially fast shrinking market and in developing yesterday's Technologies.

IMHO, we are right now living the end days of an Empire, something that even in the Modern Era only seems to happen maybe once a century.

There is a dangerous hope of the US admin being just such a fucking heel that the world is forced to be on the side of good in just pure desperation and opposition.

They are killing real people though and we do have to stop them still. The silver lining of mushroom bomb cloud can provide some comfort but if we see it we have still failed.

You can't bomb wind and solar since they're very spread out

It's like they're trying to crush a bar of soap that just keeps slipping away.

Except not, as the same movie shows, some of them will be crushed and not lost.
