Eh, it could have been worse. At least PiS won't have constitutional majority and won't be able to reject presidential vetoes. Apparently they've also lost in the Senate, which means that the opposition has a chance in the upcoming presidential elections.

Apparently they've also lost in the Senate, which means that the opposition has a chance in the upcoming presidential elections. It also means they won't be able to do the "pass a quick reactive bill overnight" thing any more. The Senate is mostly powerless, but by bouncing bills back to the Sejm it can at least slow things down. Until PiS poach a couple of senators, that is, which is more likely than not.

Making emigration such a core trauma and cause is a bit of an eye-opener. Interesting. Also partially explains the piss party's obsession with birth rates.

We're near to the one year anniversary of the Russian attack and kidnapping of Ukrainian ships in the Kerch Strait and just yesterday it was revealed during impeachment testimony that White House officials were prepared to make a statement condemning the attack but Trump told them not to.

Why not when you can get away with it? The US aint gonna do poo poo in response to any holocaust level poo poo so why even bother not doing it. *this horrible opinion is not one I believe in. But evidence points to it being true. China turkey both are committing semi genocidal actions and getting scot-free.

Bulgaria did some nasty poo poo to their Turkish minority as recently as the 80's, they have a history. Oddly enough they weren't so bad in WW2 all things considered.

That's 100% styrofoam and is probably based on an RC model plane kit. Kind of surprised there's anything of it even left if was hit by weapons fire

Hey I found it: https://www.hobby-wing.com/sonicmodell-ar-wing-900mm-drone-fpv-flying-wing-kit.html The camera hole and a couple of other things seem to be a touch different but otherwise seems to be a good match for what's still present edit: maybe a different model from the same company or an ali express knockoff or that's a common shape for designs across several manufacturers? either way it's a toy BattleMaster fucked around with this message at 12:17 on Nov 5, 2019 |

The use of commercial drones in conflicts has been a significant development over the past few years. Although their use really came to be widely known through ISIS deploying them in Syria and Iraq, we've since seen them used by opposition groups in Syria, an attack on President Maduro of Venezuela, the Iraqi police using them, and even the IDF. Even if it's not a livefeed from the drone you can use them to get a lot of useful information on enemy positions. I think Graham Phillips even used his drone once to collect that information when he was with separatists in Ukraine.

lol, this isn't breaking news or anything, but today i learned that paleontologists that found a possible t-rex precursor in poland literally called it smok wawelski (making smok a genus) for those that don't know, it's a polish legend. smok means dragon.

This is quite  . European Greens are voting to expel Latvian Greens from the party group for being, more or less, conservative agrarians, and the leader of Latvia Greens is having the silliest shitfit over it."We have already been thinking about quitting the group on our own!!!!" WAR CRIME GIGOLO posted:also some people were yelling "We will never be slaves" in Russian which is interesting. Since this is the dumbest timeline, that may be a reference to Warcraft movie.
