russia has been testing nato to see where the boundaries lie and crimea was a bridge too far which is why he got slapped with sanctions

he backed off really loving fast after that and has been trying to undermine the US internationally since for revenge like with the deal to disarm syrian chemical weapons

so he's like any other fascist, but actually smart sometimes

She's a badass with a bow and non-revealing clothing. Nobody's tarted up at all in the game and the human enemies are all a bunch of cultist guys who are deranged as all hell.

Think of all the positive aspects of say Tomb Raider, all that hard-edge resilient huntress stuff and get rid of the torture porn and figure-hugging wardrobe. Add a well-written story and a fairly engrossing survivalist/hunter-gatherer set of play mechanics. Then add primitive megafauna except it's robots.

That sounds really cool but I'm already planning to get a Switch soon for Breath of the Wild. Maybe if I see a PS4 marked down or something.

I mean it's been known for a while that the tea party got astroturfed pretty much immediately, but if russia's influence went this far back?

everyone talks about this and that person playing 12-dimensional chess, this whole time Putin's been playing 69th dimensional taikyoku shogi

i honestly doubt he was funding the tea party from the start

but with all the ties the koch brothers (who did fund the tea party from the start) have with russia (no really, google just their current ties and not the ones going back to stalin) i could see putin getting access over them by their own piss tapes or through the kochs blind hatred of obama

here's a fun thought

what if putin has been helping to fund the tea party through the kochs

jeb! was one of the few sane (re: non coolaid drinking tea party members) in the primary and was heavily favored to win, and trump basically carpet bombed him non stop upon entering the primary

in a very Floridian liberal voice: "no"

perjury to congress as a former senator is really, really, really loving bad

:agreed:

Obama did a good job giving the impression of "whelp, nothing we can do, peaceful transfer of power", but it makes sense that he and his admin weren't just going to sit on their hands those last couple of months. Maybe I just like the idea of him placing strategic timebombs meant to topple Trump after he'd peaced-out, but it seems very plausible after reading that NY Times article

This part was also terrfying:



It'd be kind of scary to be a US spy in Russia right now, considering that a bunch of Russian spies just took over the executive branch

there was a very recent purge in russia of their own intel agencies, so...
