What do you think the 3 biggest threats facing the world in 2022?

[Guest Lampedusa]

Still China, Covid and Asteroid

[mantin30]

Natural disaster, biological weapon, virus/antibiotic resistant bacteria.

[Steve5380]

It is not expected that covid will get much worse world wide than it is now.  With time, the vaccines will become available everywhere and this respiratory disease will become endemic.

 

China has been a danger for many decades.  In the last century it was a danger for the Chinese, with the cultural revolution, but today it is a danger also elsewhere.  But it should not be much worse than Russia, or let's say, the Soviet Union of the past.

 

Asteroids are being closely monitored today.  They don't strike overnight.  Some ways are being tested to deflect any asteroid whose trajectory threatens the earth.

 

A big threat we are facing today is CLIMATE CHANGE.  The effects are already here,  with much devastation. It can only get worse, since we don't have solutions to halt it, reducing the CO2 and other greenhouse gases.  Many of us are fortunate that we haven't been affected yet, and so we keep this big danger out of our minds.

The greatest threat might come from Jame Webbs.  It may lure Alien.  You don't want to see a 3-legged, bug head creature standing at 2 meter tall, doing you a chokehold while you sleep.  At that stage, you would very much prefer Asteroid impact or Russia invasion.

You have a good point.  We should all fear 3-legged bug head creatures standing 2 meters tall.  But this danger may only come long time in the future.

 

After the Webbs telescope starts its operation, it's image may take a million years to reach the place where these bugs live.  By then, if they want to invade earth, it will take them even more million years to reach here.  By then,  you probably would be gone.  Another important detail is that the space telescope only RECEIVES radiation from the cosmos,  it does not EMIT any.  If it would,  how much energy can that little thing powered by solar panels emit?

Climate Change

Natural Disasters

Accidental Nuclear War

 

I have no hesitation in putting climate change at the top. There is no agreement at world level how to reduce global warming. Yes, the leaders of nations spout words but achieve little. It is unlikely that the coming changes will affect those, say, 50 and older. But the younger generation should be very afraid of what their leaders are failing to do. We KNOW sea levels are rising. We KNOW that much of Jakarta is already under water for part of each year to the point where the government is considering moving the capital to another island. We KNOW Bangkok is sinking and that the horrendous floods of 2011 will be repeated. We KNOW that cities like Miami, New York, Amsterdam and others at sea level will suffer major flooding on an unprecedented scale. We KNOW that that last year's disastrous fires in Australia, parts of the United States and elsewhere will only get worse. And still so little is done.

 

As for Natural Disasters, they are partly due to Climate Change. But there are others. Tokyo sits on top of the join point of four tectonic plates. A mega-earthquake is now decades overdue. Same with San Francisco. We KNOW that there is a dangerous fault line on the island of La Palma in one of the Canary Islands and that the cracks due to volcanic activity have dangerously increased the size of that fault. There is now a real fear that the western flank of a large volcano will slip into the sea. The mega tsunami that would then hit much of Europe and the eastern United States would be at east 50 meters high. Some scientists suggest such a collapse is imminent.

 

World leadership is becoming more insular and right wing. As the USA relinquishes its role as the world policeman, we will again enter a multi-polar world. The difference today is that many countries possess nuclear weapons. With the genie out of the bottle, these will undoubtedly proliferate. The possibility of an accidental nuclear war must be closer than ever.

In 10 years when the bugs land, I will be close to 90 y.o.  They will surely go for the more tender and juicy human animals like you.  So I won't have to hide so much.

Yes, these have lately risen so quickly to the top of the list!  

 

These three countries are strongly opposed by the US.  This should contradict the false arguments that America is "the bad guy".

 

I have confidence of President Biden's experience and good judgment.  Holding off the push by some conservative legislators that he should impose the maximum penalties to Russia, he may choose instead to avoid too strong provocations that could unleash a full war between Russia and the US. If this would happen,  it is hard to expect that either country would accept defeat without resorting to their nuclear weapons.  And then we all might be doomed!

 

This fear of an ultimate WWIII which could completely destroy both countries, and some more, may keep Putin from invading any nearby NATO country.  If this would happen, the US and other allies like Britain, France, Germany would be committed to defend such country with all they have.  

 

Russia is the largest country in the world.  But its population is less than 150 million, less than half the population of the US.  And if we take all the 29 NATO nations combined, they by far exceed the military and economic power of Russia.   China is an unknown.  If a world war would be precipitating, it would be unwise for China to get involved on the side of Russia.  The economy of the 29 NATO nations is about twice of that of China.  And their military power also exceeds that of China and Russia combined.

 

What about N. Korea?   It surely exceeds S. Korea and even Japan in military might today , although it is inferior to these countries in everything else.  But again, S. Korea and Japan are a "de facto" kind of NATO countries, sharing their mutual protection,  and N. Korea would be completely destroyed in a major war.

That is because there is a weak president in US,  if Trump still the president, they wont dare to challenge him because he is crazy and sometime we need crazy people around because u dont know what they are thinking of.

 

NK launch a record of 7 missles within a few months, Russia find the best time for invasion and no one can stop them,  China hiding behind Russia will also want to try their luck with Taiwan, everyone is testing and challenging US to be the next world leader.

Yes, Donald Trump, Precisely!! ha ha.   In charge of foreign policy,  Trump made nothing but enemies.  The other leaders in NATO hated him,  or more than that, ridiculed him.  You are right that he was (and still is) crazy.  A person who should be confined to a deserted island. 

 

Biden on the other hand, is a competent statesman and politician and very experienced in foreign policy.  He promptly turned around Trump's fiasco and started to make friends with the other NATO leaders.   While Trump wanted to eliminate NATO,  Biden has used much leadership strengthening our bonds with the other strong NATO nations and other allies. This is proof of his competence and strength.   He is as old as I am,  and we older people can be very strong and smart, ha ha. 

 

But Trump would have been more convenient for Russia.  He would have taken the side of Putin,  and encouraged him to invade other nations and reconstruct his former Soviet Union,  this miserable traitor!   And remember what a black eye he gave America with his ridiculous love for Kim Jong-un, who played Trump for a sucker.

We are a good nation that has had bad governments, influenced by bad immoral  people.  Our previous government was an example of this.

[Guest Mississippi Paddlefish]

Putin sensed weakness in Biden after seeing how his administration screwed up in the Afghanistan withdrawal, and decided to invade Ukraine. Previously, Putin also did that with Crimea when Obama was President and Biden was the Vice-President. 
 

Furthermore, as Biden was distracted with multiple crisis caused by his own administration last year, Putin built up troops around Ukraine in October. Biden did not take proactive measures to prevent the Russian invasion. Biden’s weakness project US weakness that may embolden other rogue leaders to do  things that will threaten peace and security. 

[Guest Eye in the sky wearing sha]

I always wonder what would happen if these tyrants blatantly lied in front of the whole world during this internet instant news era.

 

1. The tyrants use propaganda like wumao and false news to blunt the effectiveness of instant news

2. With nuclear weapons, they fear no Eye in the sky 

3. We used to say that public opinion will stop the world and being the wrath of the Eye in the Sky down on these tyrants.

Tyrants are pro-religion or anti-religion and they fear no Eye in the sky, retribution or karma.

Like we Cantonese say, "你吹咩！！！"

Pro-religion will say covid is the wrath of the Eye in the Sky. I'll say that Eye in the Sky must be wearing shades, "hello there, the tyrants are your targets, not the whole world. Aim properly, can?"

 

Instant internet news will make those growing up have very different values after seeing all these and I fear it's not good values.

It's back to law of the jungle, guns matter. Violence will escalate till we relearn the meaning of civilization again.

 

These are the 3 biggest threats to humanity.

[lonelyglobe]

Ya,  looking at the whole thing is like a group of people looking at a weak girl gonna rape by a strong man,  the girl ask for help and the group pass her some condom for protection. They warn the guy dont rape her but the guy go ahead. The girl kena rape while the group watch and they punish the rapist but the effect is so mild like omicron,  the guy actually get away with the act. 

 

It seems to make some sense that NK refuse to listen to US and keep nuclear weapon to protect themselve, hopefully not on others.

Biden is politically aware that half of Americans are still leaning on the hope that Trump would return.   He cannnot be himself if he wanted to continue being popular by both camp.  So he has to be a little like Trump here and a little like Obama there, balancing himself on a double-edge sword.  Thus he is not even close to 60% perfect.  I predict America leadership's weakness is the greatest crisis facing the world, until a new president took over.

Such posts can only come from people who don't hold knowledge on the background factors:

 

Question 1:

Does the US or did the US interfere into every invasion of any country in the world to another independent country with military force?

 

Why should Biden send his soldiers into Ukraine, when the US has no duty to do so?

The Ukraine never had any military treaty with the US.

In that sense the US has no obligation to defend Ukraine against any invasion, nor that the NATO has.

The starting point must be here.

 

The US did not send troops to both Russian invasions in 2008 to Georgia (under Bush) and 2014 (also to the Ukraine).

 

Here is a list of invasions. You can check yourself how often the US send troops.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_invasions

 

What is more scary and shocking to me that the US politicians are so divided nowadays, that they can't even gather behind their country's president and support him instead of stabbing the US president at every corner into his back.

At no point before, it happened that during any crisis the US president had been treated this way.

Republicans and Democrats always gathered behind their country's president and came with a "one voice" reaction.

There had been a shared value on such bipartisan action in the past.

What Trump is doing is shear dumbness and only looks at his personal political gains but omits the long term effects of his very dumb actions for some quick personal gains.

 

Just take Italy, usually the politicians would stab the other at knife's edge but after the invasion all parties (including the opposition) support their PM.

 

In my view those backstabbers are destroying more of a certain political culture than they benefit as these actions are short sighted.

 

Question 2:

Where was any weakness of Biden in the Afghanistan withdrawal?

There were some unfortunate events and probably a mismatch in organisational planning or advance foresight.

It was agreed that the US leaves Afghanistan (something that was left behind from Trump).

Trump never planned it to the end but left the final withdrawal on Biden. 

I fail to see "weakness" on Biden with the withdrawal.

If you think that the US should have remained in Afghanistan, then this is another question.

The one who had failed on the Afghanistan policy and weakened the US was no other than Trump by signing the worthless withdrawal deals with the Taliban without forcing Taliban to agree to certain conditions (Human rights, women rights etc etc. ) This false policy was laid by Trump and not Biden.

Biden had no chance to renegotiate the deals with the Taliban. Anything else would have only caused more bloodshed of US soldiers in Afghanistan.

The US was in majority in favour to withdraw the soldiers after so many years.

 

Question 3:

What proactive measures should have Biden taken to prevent the invasion of Putin?

Talk and blame is easy.

I assume you don't see the impact on this issue.

First refer to my response under question 1 regarding NATO, the US and Ukraine.

 

Do you seriously think Biden wanted to start a war against Russia or end up in a war against Russia and causing a Third World War?

 

If you think that the US should play the world police for every fire, then go on to claim proactive measures from the US president.

But that is just worthless blabber while ignoring the background.

The US is not the world police to settle any issues on earth.

 

 

Lastly, I object to your statement that Biden was distracted by the multiple crisis in the US.

 

If you have a sense of objectivity you would have seen that most of what is called "crisis" are in fact hyped up sensationalist  propaganda by the Republicans.

It was the strategy of the Republicans to disallow Biden a peaceful start in the administration and exploiting the narrow majority in the Senate.

Everything what was there the Republicans have started blaming Biden for and "trumped" it out of proportion.

 

The inflation is not caused by Biden, nor is the Supply chain issue caused by Biden.

This is a result of the economic reopening after the Covid pandemic and all countries in the world are suffering from this situation.

It is a post pandemic economic result of a demand surge in goods.

 

These issues are not any crisis, but simply blown out of proportion. The US has suffered worse inflation years back, has also seen more immigration at the borders in the past.

 

All countries in the world are suffering from unseen inflation, even tiny red dot Singapore, the same as all countries are suffering from Supply Chain issues.

 

 

 

The one you might blame for could be again the FBI, who failed to predict or sense that something was building up in Russia.

Such military strategic information should have been detected or shared earlier.

 

Read up why Putin invaded Ukraine.

The motives are clearly somewhere else than on Biden or any "alleged" weakness of the US president.

 

If you think that any other US president had sent troops into Ukraine to defend the country that you probably don't know anything about the US.

( If would have wanted to see the outcry from the Republicans, if Biden had send troops to the US for escalating the issue).

Such posts can only come from people who are in denial of obvious weakness from Biden and his administration. 
 

At no point was there any suggestion that US should send troops into Ukraine. Biden has many other levers at his disposal to make Russia think twice about invading. US intel has already known about Russian troops building up since October 2021. Biden and his advisors made the wrong assumption that Putin will not invade. 
 

The weakness in Biden in Afghanistan was plain for all to see. To suggest Biden had no chance to renegotiate any deals with the Taliban when Biden is the US president further confirms Biden’s weakness. What’s more tragic is Biden cannot even prevent 13 of his US troops from being killed in Afghanistan and him leaving behind billions of dollars of US military equipment. This is further evidence of his weakness. 
 

Putin was watching Biden and took the opportunity that Biden was distracted with multiple crisis to execute his plan. He probably saw Biden as a lightweight and was laughing when Biden approved the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline to proceed when Biden first took office. This was clearly a strategic mistake on Biden’s part as we all now know, Germany has stopped it after Russia invaded Ukraine.

It is obvious who has gained a narrow and limited view on the current US administration.

 

What I totally don't understand is why you need to switch to posting  as a Guest, when you have a member account at BW. 

 

It always has been too obvious who is hiding behind this Paddlefish Guest monicker. 

 

 

By you saying everyone with common sense would have realised to stop Putin it is to send troops to Ukraine. So far, no countries in NATO or Europe or US are willing to send troops to Ukraine. This means these leaders including  Biden does not have common sense. Lol. 
 

Biden has all the intel of Russian troops building up along Ukraine borders since October 2021 and yet he didn’t pursue more proactively to sanction and gather coordinated help from NATO to dissuade Russia. Putin probably took such non-action as weakness from Biden and was emboldened to mount an invasion.

Thanks for admitting that Trump's Taliban deal was a disaster and was the cause of the messy situation on Afghanistan. 

The admission is only about how Biden and his team botched the withdrawal in Afghanistan.

Your assessment is wrong. 

 

No need to twist my words on common sense. 

 

Ukraine is not a member of NATO, therefore the US and European NATO allies have no duty to defend Ukraine. 

 

You claim US had all the intel since October 2021 but do you know exactly what intelligence information the US had?

 

Third, from intelligence information you can also predict with 100% accuracy what action Russia would take?

 

The US only had information that Russia was concentrating soldiers to the West. 

 

As usual seven H you paint claims but forget the main point: NATO could have gathered military and 500,000 soldiers at the Eastern borders in Estonia, Latvia, Lithunia, Poland, Slovakia,  Romania, Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey. But what would it have changed. 

 

Also it never happened that any country or military organisation decided pre-emptive sanctions against another country. 

 

There were no means for NATO to do anything different. 

 

You are just looking to blame the US president or paint him as weak. 

 

It is also cheap talk to argue that Biden could have gather coordinated help from the other NATO partners to dissuade Russia. 

But by what measures could have NATO dissuaded Russia?

There is not one single proposal or idea in your post that suggests anything. 

And here I cut off already your usual tactic to argue Biden should have experts to come up with measures. This is your common strategy to point to others and deflect from your nonsensical approach in such scenarios. 

 

On Ukraine, NATO is more or less powerless as Ukraine is not a member state of NATO and therefore no NATO country has any duty towards Ukraine. 

 

Any adverse measure would have risked a full fledged war with Russia and also had given reason to Russia to justify a defence on Art. 51 of the UN charter. Therefore, for NATO restraint was advised.

With the threat from Taliban to restart attacking and killing US soldiers if the US doesn't withdraw all troops by 31 May 2021, Biden was able to re-negotiate the Trump deal or find a better deal? 

It was already a concession from the Taliban that they accepted an extension to withdraw the troops until August 2021. 

 

Why don't you ask why Trump negotiated such a shitty deal with Taliban when he could have reached a better deal from the start?

Didn't Trump always bragg he's the best dealmaker in the world???

 

But who and what set the starting point and gave rise to the withdrawal of the US troops from Afghanistan???

 

A negotiated deal from Biden?

 

Biden had to work with that disastrously negotiated withdrawal agreement from Trump!

 

This is the starting point of the Afghanistan issue that Biden inherited from Trump.

How is that an admission? Any admission is only happening in your own contorted mind and alternate reality.

I'm not even saying that any of your words are correct here, but now that war has officially broken out, where is Biden? Intel or no intel, the war is a fact now. WHERE IS THE SENILE OLD MAN BIDEN? Or perhaps you are just going to hide behind your excuse "no NATO country has any duty towards Ukraine"? If that is the case, then the world power should rightfully be shifted out of USA into other countries now. This is what happens when the world's (ex) most powerful country gets headed by a senile old man.

Biden is afraid of the "threat from Taliban to restart attacking and killing US soldiers" to the extent that he dare not re-negotiate the Trump deal or find a better deal? Thanks for admitting that Biden is weak.

Yes, a reduction in reproduction rates will affect the availability of cocks.  But won't it also ease on the prices of real estate in your cramped island?

 

Fortunately for you,  Singapore is partnering with NATO, as I now understand.   If you could join any NATO peacekeeping force,  imagine the number of young cocks from handsome Ang Mohs you could come in contact with!

Since the threat of the Ukraine invasion had intensified,  Biden has been all over the place.   He tried to negotiate or at least talk sense into Putin. He made countless contacts with our NATO Allies and consolidated a strong alliance.  He has sent troops to east Europe, and weapons to Ukraine.   If you don't see this, you should consult ASAP an ophthalmologist for your failing sight,  and an otolaryngologist  for your hearing loss.

 

We will hear more from Biden tomorrow when he addresses my nation in the State of the Union address.

Yes, look at Kim Yong Un. What does he have?

 

Various countries in history have shown, once they lived in liberty and a certain degree of human rights, there is no way back.

 

Take Belarus, only the brutal oppression by Lukashenko can keep him in power. But every time after he cheated the elections, the people went on the streets.

One day the military and police will also turn against him,...

 

Even if Russia "wins" the war in Ukraine by military force, sooner or later the Ukrainian people will be on the streets again.

 

It might even happen also in Russia sooner or later.

The more news spreads on these 20 year old Russian soldiers having died in this war, people will ask for what?

Just for a Ukraine that is leaning towards Russia?

 

Putin can try to keep all bad news under the carpet but I guess the news what is really going on will spread and it will brew like a hot Borscht soup near to explosion.
