Does a bear split in the woods near Zheleznogorsk?

it was big

looks like a massive bleve this time

What the gently caress is going on over there? I get that shoddy regulations and no enforcement can and will lead to disaster, but two massive explosions that close together is a hell of a coincidence.

the answer is that actual ISIS members are less dangerous than a broke 20-year-old American with priors

silver lining is that if the US ever gets invaded our insurgency gonna own, and none of its members will be white preppers

This has nothing to do with anything but there was a sweet ps2 game called freedom fighters where you ran an insurgency in new york after russia invades. The first level is you escaping an apartment building and brianing russians w a wrench cause youre a plumber. You see the invasion progress till there's russian troops n bunkers everywhere and youre living in a sewer with americans who escaped, popping up to raid places and destroy poo poo

If youre bored and have a ps2 somewhere its a good time one of my fav games of all time

An american insurgency would be lol as gently caress. Everyone's got guns

Yeah, south Korea don't want any part of that. Most of them don't won't anything to do with the norks, especially how a couple of years the sk government determined that if they had to bring the north up to speed with the south, the expediture could permanently gently caress their economy.

I work with Samsung alot and they send me Korean engineers for certain projects. Whenever I take them out I casually ask about reunification and not a single one has been for it. They typically are apathetic or against it for economic reasons and that they feel no connection. The north is korean, but different and it would be very difficult.

Biden vs. Trump would be interesting, mostly because they both do a lot of talking out of turn. In Biden's case it's either refreshing honesty or, something amusing. When Trump spouts off it's obnoxious delusions of grandeur bullshit, and horrible horrible racism.

Hillary Clinton Will Interrupt Vacation to Campaign in Midwest

quote:

Amid concerns about Mrs. Clinton’s softening poll numbers and her exclusive use of a personal email server as secretary of state, she will interrupt her Hamptons stay next week to travel to the Midwest and try to shift attention back to her campaign message by unveiling new policy positions.

She will then return to the Hamptons, where she and former President Bill Clinton are renting a beachside estate in Amagansett that costs $100,000 for a two-week stay, and will attend several $2,700-per-person fund-raisers hosted there by her wealthy friends.

I'd be pissed if I had my expensive vacation in the middle of a campaign interrupted.

I've been waiting for something more reliable to come out of this. So far it's just a couple of guys that hired a law firm to claim it. It's still not even clear if the drat thing actually existed or if it was dreamed up by locals.

i never asked for this
When the primaries come to Florida my wife plans on voting for Clinton and I lied and said I would, too but I'm gonna vote for Biden with a write-in if I have to. Clinton has over 20 years of hate built up behind her and I think that is a big negative to her electability, regardless of whatever facts exist about her.

Although maybe I should just say gently caress it and go full accelerationist and register to vote republican because this gay earth has had its day and gently caress it. Trump 2016!!

I think that MBAs are useful, in case you are looking for an answer to the question of "Is lightpole a total fucking idiot".
Tianjin was one of the largest shipping ports in China. Depending on how extensive the damage is and how long the clean up takes this could be a major major issue.

So what you're saying is people in power might notice the excel spreadsheets where they track their wealth show numbers slightly smaller, therefore something could actually get done?

I have no idea how much of what moves through Tianjin, how bad the damage is or if they can divert cargo to other ports. Losing the port could mean anything from a local parts shortage meaning factory closures to food and energy shortages. So the rich losing a couple numbers from their spreadsheets would be a best case.

The german reunification denied the world the production of the G11.

I mean, it wasn't looking all that practical or pretty in its latest stages, but kid-me thought it was cool as gently caress and constantly yapped about how awesome the cylindrical chamber was. :(

Photos via Google make it look like a city block, nowhere near the water. A container warehouse, pretty much. No cranes, no ships, not a hole lot of infrastructure stuff that can't be readily replaced with manpower. I think your scenario is a bit overblown.
