yeah but

THIS time the ragtag russian army is gonna fool everybody by invading in mid-June.

It's a good plan, there's a reasonable chance there might not be snow at least for all of June.

In light of this recent Russian assholery, here's a joke.

A Soviet unit is advancing down the Raate road when a voice calls out from the bush. "One Finn is equal to ten Soviets!" The unit's commander is angry and sends ten Soviet soldiers into the bush. Sounds of fighting can be heard, then the voice calls out again. "One Finn is equal to 100 Soviets!"

Now the commander is REALLY angry. He sends in 100 troops, there's sounds of gunfire and explosions. Nobody returns, but the voice calls out again: "one Finn is equal to 1000 Soviets!" Livid, the commander sends the 1000 remaining troops into the forest. Gunfire, explosions, screams, then silence. Eventually one battered Soviet trooper limps back to the road and goes "comrade commander, it was a lie: there were TWO of them!"

They didn't object to Poland doign it either, but (supposedly) couldn't agree on a way to hand them over

Didn't we do this already? No one objects as long as the MIGs don't land anywhere, take off from anywhere or have weapons.

I think it's more that the transfer hinges on the US committing to replace the MiGs with modern US planes. There may not be agreement on which planes, how many, and at what price.

Slovakia has a base that is literally on the border with a Ukrainian facility iirc.

Lots of chatter that Ukraine destroyed a long column of Russian troops north of Izyum, which is roughly southeast from Kharkiv. It seems they're attacking the flank in the north. This "huge Russian offensive" seems like so far, it's going about as well as everything else has.

WTF is Putin's best friend doing in Ukraine? Shouldn't he be rich, having fun in some palace somewhere?

It's an essential clause not a nonessential clause. Compare:

"They have captured Putin's best friend in Ukraine"

"They have captured Putin's best friend, in Ukraine"

In the first sentence 'in Ukraine' is essential to modify 'putin's best friend' - meaning, the guy captured is Putin's closest Ukrainian friend/ally.

In the second sentence the comma makes 'in Ukraine' a nonessential clause and doesn't change the meaning of 'putin's best friend'.

As to why he didn't bail into Russia after the invasion went to poo poo, who knows lol

i suspect alot of the issue with Poland was it would have to come from a US base in Germany to get their safety and that would be too "bold".

At one point I was watching a number of lefty tube people, including Peter Coffin. Then they all got a bit unsufferable so I stopped paying attention (this was around the time that the internet dweebs crucified that trans babe for doing satirical nazi cosplay).

Anyway, did Peter swallow the tankie pill? Sad if true.

I don't mean Mel has racist grandpa vibes. I mean that trying to disuade Mel from making fun of Hitler is like trying to make racist grandpa woke.

no true scotsman would be if i were saying they're not _really_ leftists. i'm not. i'm saying they aren't meaningfully representative, because there are very few of them and their opinions are not generally present in in-person gatherings and appear to only exist in weird online spaces known to be rife with disinformation and bullshit in general

kind of like the person saying "people were saying putin wouldn't invade in this very thread!" like...so? is that the same as cheerleading warcrimes or supporting putin right now, a month later? dont get me wrong if the same people are saying "ok putin invaded and it's a good thing" then yeah gently caress 'em. but if they were just mistaken, well, live and learn, you know?

it's been known for ages that social media &c is lousy with russian mouthpieces, but now it's supposedly tHe LeFt and i dont get it

going from the above responses, it seems that i'm not at all alone in my "wtf are yall talking about" position, and its just the terminally online that are running into the same dumb poo poo that's been on twitter for the past five years but they still haven't figured out how to disengage from. so ill stop beating the dead horse and drop it - i was worried that i was missing something. im apparently not so carry on and thank you for the discussion!
