(14,619 posts)If aliens are buzzing around, they know for god damn sure that humans, with few exceptions, are self-destructive, viewing each other as unequal, somehow unworthy, and to be treated unfairly based on arbitrary privilege. These have been around through human history and threaten now to destroy the planet. Whats the value of this blue rock to anyone outside it?
Probably food supply. We are poisoning ourselves, and destroying the planets ability to support life. Who knows what is preventing us from making the whole planet a radioactive mess suitable for nothing? It only takes a few.
On October 27, 1962 Vasily Arkhipov, a senior Soviet Naval officer prevented a Russian submarine from launching a nuclear torpedo against ships of the United States Navy at a crucial moment in the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962. And averted nuclear war.
It has been touch and go since then. Knowing Trumps firm intention to roll over when Putin launches nuclear weapons against Ukraine, the decision has been made to prevent this. Hitting Chernobyl alone could cost millions of lives and make the planet radioactive for thousands of years. And bye bye human race.
With one meal, the Aliens will secure meals for the next century or so.
And Joe (I hope and pray) is turning loose every device in Area 51 to assist in this effort. If step one is using ground-penetrating radar on drones to locate hidden documents, bodies, nuclear weapons or whatever buried in Bedminster or other places, GO JOE!
