I'm not sure our country understands the situation [View all]

At least not enough of us.

I haven't listened to broadcast news in awhile and the complete disconnect from reality is mind boggling.
They act and speak about things is this very academic/uncritical manner, very removed from the urgency on the situation we are facing.

Just the situation with Greenland and the EU alone is likely the most serious threat we have had since WWI and it's entirely our own fault the problem exists or at its this administration's fault.

I mean we are talking about open war with all of Europe and likely total economic collapse and that is not hyperbole as much as we would all like it to be.

My whole point is that this is about as serious a moment in our country's history as we have ever faced and I just don't think we, as a nation not those here at DU, are not prepared and largely sticking their head in the sand on all this.
