Discussion on Ukraine seems inevitable. Maybe have it here rather than distracting other threads? No I am not going to PA.
That wasn't stopping the threads here filling up. I think you'd find many if not most on SAAC never post on the main SA forum page. Apart from which, it's likely that thread will be moved to PA anyway.There already is a non PA thread in Sailing/Sailing Anarchy.

Whilst I agree with your sentiment. Neither this thread or anything short of a lobotomy would have stopped 4 braincells from spamming all over the other threadsThat wasn't stopping the threads here filling up.
How about the non-zero probability of the surface of the planet becoming a radioactive smoking wasteland? The autocrat of a nuclear-tipped superpower appears to have turned clinically paranoid. He has already issued barely coded warnings of Armageddon. The possibility this turns out to be seriously bad is, unfortunately, present.with respect to the AC, I struggle to see why it would materially affect the event.
It is non-zero it is true. If that happens then I won't hold it against GD if he doesn't hold the next AC. Similarly if an asteroid wipes out NZ and everyone on it but leaves the rest of the world unaffected.How about the non-zero probability of the surface of the planet becoming a radioactive smoking wasteland?

It won't bother GD if the asteroid wiped out NZ, as AC37 is planned to be held outside NZ anyway.It is non-zero it is true.

But apart from that, it is no reason to postpone, plead hardship of sponsorship etc
I am well aware of that. But it is a non-zero possibility"Similarly if an asteroid wipes out NZ and everyone on it but leaves the rest of the world unaffected." Now that is a zero possibility. The quantity of dust that would go into the atmosphere would fuck us all. Ask the dinosaurs about it.
@Rennmaus, could you place Der Spiegel in the political spectrum? In Italy, it’s mainly remembered for the spagetti/revolver covers a few years agoThere already is a non PA thread in Sailing/Sailing Anarchy.
That's enough, for me anyway.
It once was rather left, moved to the middle-left, but it always offers good, well-researched, balanced journalism.@Rennmaus, could you place Der Spiegel in the political spectrum? In Italy, it’s mainly remembered for the spagetti/revolver covers a few years ago
I put the chance of this at extremely close to zero, nobody is quite that f'ing crazy. If there is anything good about nukes, it is in the obvious war deterrence that mutually assured destruction provides.How about the non-zero probability of the surface of the planet becoming a radioactive smoking wasteland?

First thing, if you consider some of Putin's recent behaviour and speeches, he does seem to have gone more than a bit Dr Strangelove.I put the chance of this at extremely close to zero, nobody is quite that f'ing crazy.
Ha! An 'NZ party is Spain' may be closer to SAAC's subject matter but this would be among the very last concerns if 'a shooting war in Europe' broke out - F'ing Yikes! I firmly believe the chances of this are close to zero too.it does seem to me that having a shooting war in Europe - could cast a pall (in general) over festivities in Europe. like sponsoring an NZ party in Spain.
