We don't have to agree on everything, that would make for a boring timeline. But if your opinions are entrenched and you are intent on converting me to your views on a specific element of life, let's just not.
Live and let live, love and let love. Everything else is secondary.
The West does not know what war is.
When was the last time you had to hide in your basement, not knowing whether your sisters would make it to shelter in time? When was your home levelled?
All it knows of war is long distance murder. Hence its obsession with planes and drones.
@CillizzaCNN
This is a waste of what might - at one point - have been a good pivot, but now reeks of a desperate failure to deal with the reality of an educated audience, that is rejecting your narrative. 🙂
Seems to be happening. Narrative undergoing a paradigm shift, from the 'paragon defending democracy' to the schmuck who lost his country.
Of course, the source is toxic (Biden), but yeah - basically saying "They are idiots," in anticipation of defeat.
@Levi_godman
"I got conned into worshipping a Nazi but it's okay because they got other celebs too" has to be the most 2022 way of defending worshipping a Nazi I have seen this year.

- "Not one inch of territory will be surrendered."
- "Let's not talk about Crimea anymore, it is lost. But Lugansk will be ours again!"
- "Let's not talk about Lugansk, it is lost. But Donetsk will be ours again!"
..
- "Let's not talk about Lvov."
We are lucky.
And then, while we are basking in our ignorance, celebrating our culture and whatnot, we get hollow-souled cunts like Lindsey Graham forcing us along the path to a world war.
He's old, he doesn't give a fuck about our future, his is an empty fate.
We should act.
@MnarMuh
Hatred oozes from the both of them, what a bunch of racists, and supported by a racist institution at that..
Very sorry to hear about this, Mnar, keep speaking up. ❤️💪

On the right is a monument for natural nudity, not a monument to the mother. I'm all for bashing the Netherlands, but that's misrepresentation.
Should the artwork be made? Maybe yes, maybe no.
It cannot imagine what the people of Ukraine, of the Donbas, of Syria are still going through. Indiscriminate bombardment. Go to the shops? You might get a Russian, Ukrainian, Israeli rocket on your head.
And that's without mentioning the 5 million victims of the US since 2001.
NATO deviously plotting against China while still 100% dependent on its industrial output is like a psychopathic child plotting against its parents who feed it, wash its clothes, and try to teach it good manners.
If it succeeds, it lives in filth for a week until it starves.
That depressing video of Ukrainian soldiers in a trench sheepishly looking at the camera of the drone that guides artillery fire onto their location is haunting me.
Why not wave a fucking white flag. This entire thing is such needless nonsense.
Surrender.
This is pointless.

An Iskander to the face is not really a 'natural cause'.
However, naturally, if one gets an Iskander to the face, one expires.
Ah yes, words.

@realDonaldTrump
Admirable goal, but then they won't love their country at all. And if they don't love their country, they might try to change it. Can't have *that*, no sirree Bob.
We oohed and aahed at the destruction of earthquakes and tsunamis, but war? We can't imagine. We look at Bakhmut and see a razed city, not the psychic trauma screaming out of every building. We look at Donetsk and say it isn't so bad, buildings still stand, right?
The other choice is you lose.
Hell, even if Ukraine wins you still lose, because lol if you think they'll repay the loaned weapons and services.
So since continuing the war is a lose-lose situation, how about discontinuing this war? Ukraine can start repaying their massive
@OlgaBazova
Haha, opsec, and then in 72 hours: "Whoopsie, we just lost everything east of the Seversky Donets because Syrsky and Budanov got into a fistfight."
@ask_aubry
I wonder who did that cost/benefit analysis and found that the profits gained from letting men pay to message first outweigh the losses incurred on no longer having women on the app.

The best way to help the suffering people in the Middle East is by defunding the US military.
Worried about police?
Imagine worrying about drones that might decide to murder you and your entire family at the command of some teenager, thousands of miles away.

@KKexplore
NATO won't scale up to nuclear war for 6 million Balts, so it's all a wax nose. If Russia were to decide to connect to Kaliningrad, no one would stop them - but as long as the trains can ride relatively freely, nothing will happen.

His posture just keeps impressing me more every time I see it.
So relaxed, but so controlled, hand in pocket, casual aiming.. boom! Deadshot.
@AZgeopolitics
Lindsey is such a tool. Does he really think that if the USA starts complying with the ICC he can get off scot-free? He's more a war criminal than Putin, presently only Bolton is more of a war criminal than Graham.
@CSMFHT
Imagine people making a contest of your cause of death, showing off just how good they are at doing what you did, and NOT die doing it.
My expression would be a bit more .. sad.

Ever since Ecuador betrayed diplomatic trust and decided to sell out Julian Assange, they have consistently shown themselves to be the easiest purchase of South America.

Remove Azerbaidjan.
Remove Armenia.
Remove any of the Caucasian 'independent' states, and subsume them into the Russian Federation as the Republic of Caucasia.
Have peace.
Fight America.
@MikaelValterss1
Funny how this isn't what I got from Putin at all: "Russia will never show good faith first again, that's for certain."
The way I understood him, he is entirely open to good faith gestures, as long as the reciprocation that follows is commensurate.
This is a man who wants peace.
@ArmchairW
"Russia is making advances, but these are worthless pieces of land"
It's like reading Syrian Rebel-worshipper posts from during the Aleppo liberation.
Meanwhile:
- OSINT is going into collective hibernation
- Von der Leyen criticises ukraine's corruption levels and lack of financial accountability in preparation for EU rejection of UA candidate-status
- UA casualties deemed unsustainable in Western media
It's actually a pretty sad thought, imagining the AD desperately expending its inventory, clinging to the belief its own propaganda told it about being able to shoot down missiles that cannot be shot down.
Only to then get blown up.
⚡️I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but after careful review of this video, it appears that the air defence battery (most likely patriot) tried to save itself, but failed. It most probably got toasted.
This, my sweethearts, depicts one of the my favourite incidents in the history of International Relations.
17th C, the Cossacks across the river Dniepr defeated Ottoman forces repeatedly. Being a true Turk, the Sultan denied any sense of reality and demanded the Cossacks submit.

Marvellous visualisation! These deep core quakes seem unlikely though.
Edit: Ah, "Earthquake depth is exaggerated by a factor 8." Alright then, never mind.

It would be somewhat ironic and very predictable if the US' threats to the island's vital industries pushed them into rapprochement with the mainland.
@ArmchairW
9 out of 39 total delivered HIMARS just in this little theatre.
6 out of 25 M270s.
4 out of 1200 BUKs.
It is remarkable just how stupid this decision was.

It's a decisive enabler of the world economy, across all fields, industries, and whatnot. Can't excise the trunk from which all the branches of human interactions grow.

Would be funny if Putin went to the Kremlin on a bike from the other direction. Everyone looking at the cars and here he rides, calmly as one does.

"Why aren't you giving us the people of your armed forces? You can't expect us to defend democracy and freedom from evil Russia without sending at least 500,000 soldiers. YOU MUST DO MORE!"

This made me sad, because she is a victim of culture war hype bullshit bulldozing over her dreams, and several Olympic dreams/experiences have turned sour in this mess.
Hope she finds the strength to stay inspired and inspiring.

The US/European demons have a very bad gore fetish when it comes to these injuries.

@Stephane_Erler
Not even the IDF believes they are minimising civilian casualties.
It's just a couple of extremist oddballs in the West that seem to have convinced themselves that Israel can do no wrong, when it is clearly documented as doing wrong, and on record as saying it does wrong.
@RnaudBertrand
The most insane part - to me - is that while China was willing to do this because that's just how the global supply chain was organised, and it was fine with that, so literally everyone (on some level) was making money.. THEN we decided to cut them out because what, red is scary?
Strikes me as unlikely that the border between Belarus and Malorossiya would be ignored. The Union State is a reality, and if Kievan rockets can threaten Minsk with impunity, there needs to be a buffer zone along the Bela-Malorussian borders as well.
@ZichenWanghere
Ah, *now* I understand why he's been pushing such sensible policies for the betterment of society as a whole, rather than corporate interests.
@CSMFHT
At some point you have to figure he just doesn't want to come home.
Like that uncle who stepped out to buy some cigarettes 30 years ago and still hasn't come home to your nephews.
@NinaByzantina
So true. It's like the AUKUS clique can't believe anyone can beat their doping riddled 'athletes'.
Reminder, the USA *enabled* Lance Armstrong who did great, but terrible things.

I have serious doubts about the morality of firing non-self-destructive projectiles at UFO's over densely populated civilian areas.
Lead rain maims, likely more so than a little drone.
