TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

We've got a huge deficit in the US.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

What does that mean, BCID?

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

By no more, you mean completely flattened and razed to the ground.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

And what are the long-term effects of these types of weapons?

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

Does it mean that the land that they have been detonated on will never be able to bear fruit, et cetera?

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

I guess the question is, if you have weapons of that magnitude, does not therefore instill a certain humility in the people wielding them?

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

For instance, you look at Putin.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

They're glad you find these questions funny.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

But unless you are completely insane...

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

you wouldn't be tempted to push that button because you know that the moment you launch that weapon, not only have you ensured the destruction of millions of people, you've also assured your own destruction.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

Sorry, go ahead.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

I think one of the issues is the way that we see Russia is completely different.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

And Constantine, jump in if I get this incorrect, is that we don't see them as Western because of the way they treat the individual.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

The individual in Russia is expendable.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

And we saw that by the way they treated their soldiers in World War II, whereby as long as, you know, however many men had to die, but they had to move forward.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

Dig a trench, throw them in, cover the trench, we keep moving.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

America is, and the US and the UK is, you know, we leave no man behind.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

So I feel that that's the way that we see Russia as a completely alien culture because of that.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

Because we see it as a cold, brutal way of looking at its own populace.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

No, go ahead.
