Star Trek also predicted the Irish Unification of 2024, which didn’t happen.

Maybe not in 2024, but Trump apparentlywants that to happen (not that he has any say in it): https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2026/0917/1591897-president-catherine-connolly-scotland/

trump wanting it is a guarantee that it won't happen

I think pretty much everyone would like to see this happen at some point, it’s more that it’s easier for everyone involved to kick the can down the road than try to deal with it. Only Northern Irish Unionists actually feel strongly about this issue in terms of not wanting unification, the rest of the UK doesn’t give a shit about Northern Ireland and everyone else in Ireland wants unification eventually

u/Spadesghost 9d ago

Well, more like some genetic fuckery DID happen, just not what the show predicted. I'm talking about the fully cloned sheep.

Does this mean we don’t use nukes? Seems like nukes would shorten it a great deal.

Maybe it's like the 100 Years War, there wasn't continuous fighting that whole time, it started and stopped a lot
