re: #545 RogueOne

3 wars.

Do you understand that AGW is going to prompt our involvement in even more wars?

Africa and the ME in flames.

Yep. And that’s going to get so much worse with famine and millions of refugees. So, glad you agree.

Massive cuts needed in their budget on top of the rest of the world spending less than we do already.

Er…. how is this a threat?

Their use as good will ambassadors instead of their primary mission.

Again… a threat in what way?

Dumbing down standards in order to keep the number of troops we need.

A problem, definitely. But how is that a bigger problem than AGW?

Being used as pawns in legislative battles…

Which sucks. But again— how is that a real threat?

It seems like you’re just running through a list of things that affect the military negatively, not actually finding anything that’s a bigger threat to the military than AGW.

Do you understand that the military’s projections of the effects of AGW is that there’s going to be a ton more wars, millions more refugees, every naval base facing rising water, etc.?
