yea I don't get it, she brought the hash, she admits it was hers so this isn't a frame job or anything, is it just literally one of those 'you just aren't allowed to arrest americans in your country'?

that is, to my knowledge, totally dependent on connections, wealth, and fame. don�t expect america to do anything for you if you don�t have any of the above, so just the same as always really. sometimes a propaganda angle like this is also available seasonally.

50,000 dead citizens in Mariupol alone cry out for vengeance at this point. And this while we have vatniks still killing, raping, and murdering ukrainian civilians. Everyone has a choice, even if they think they don't have one. And since their choice is to be rapists and murderers, they can all go die or be maimed. They invaded a peaceful neighbor because that monkey in the kremlin wanted to pull a land grab. This is merely the consequences of these actions.

mariupol is like the one place (along with the rest of the ldpr) that is z-pilled and is the source of basically all those interviews on russian telegrams/ukraine exposed telegram talking about how the local azovs are nazi assholes

People aren't really handling well the fact that not only millions of ukrianians are on the russian side, but that people are lining up for a russian passport as soon as the ukranian army leaves.

Goons will declare more than half of the ukranian population traitors before they admit they rushed into things in their support.

mlmp08: Jul 11, 2004; Prepare for my priapic projectile's exalted penetration; Nap Ghost

Full (wall of) text of the pope�s comments are interesting.

Pope w/ European Jesuits posted:

Q: The Society is present in Ukraine, part of my province. We are living through a war of attrition and write about it in our journals. What are your suggestions for communicating the situation in which we are living? How can we contribute to a peaceful future?

Pope Francis: To answer this question we have to move away from the normal pattern of �Little Red Riding Hood�: Little Red Riding Hood was good and the wolf was the bad guy. Here there are no metaphysical good guys and bad guys, in an abstract sense. Something global is emerging, with elements that are very much intertwined. A couple of months before the war started I met a head of state, a wise man, who speaks very little, very wise indeed. After we talked about the things he wanted to talk about, he told me that he was very concerned about the way NATO was moving. I asked him why, and he said, �They are barking at the gates of Russia. They do not understand that the Russians are imperialists and will allow no foreign power to approach them.� He concluded, �The situation could lead to war.� This was his opinion. On February 24, the war began. That head of state was able to read the signs of what was taking place.

What we are seeing is the brutality and ferocity with which this war is being carried out by the troops, generally mercenaries, used by the Russians. The Russians prefer to send in Chechen and Syrian mercenaries. But the danger is that we only see this, which is monstrous, and we do not see the whole drama unfolding behind this war, which was perhaps somehow either provoked or not prevented. And note the interest in testing and selling weapons. It is very sad, but at the end of the day that is what is at stake.

Someone may say to me at this point: so you are pro-Putin! No, I am not. It would be simplistic and wrong to say such a thing. I am simply against reducing complexity to the distinction between good guys and bad guys without reasoning about roots and interests, which are very complex. While we see the ferocity, the cruelty of Russian troops, we must not forget the real problems if we want them to be solved.

It is also true that the Russians thought it would all be over in a week. But they miscalculated. They encountered a brave people, a people who are struggling to survive and who have a history of struggle.

I must also add that we see what is happening now in the Ukraine because it is closer to us and touches our sensibility more. But there are other countries far away. Let us think of some parts of Africa, the north of Nigeria, the north of the Congo, where a war is still going on and nobody cares. Think of Rwanda 25 years ago. Think of Myanmar and the Rohingya. The world is at war. A few years ago it occurred to me to say that we are living the third world war piece by piece. For me, today, World War III has been declared. This is something that should give us pause for thought. What is happening to humanity that we have had three world wars in a century? I lived the first war through my grandfather�s experience on the Piave River. And then the second and now the third. This is bad for humanity, a calamity. To think that in one century there have been three world wars, with all the arms trade behind them!

Just three years ago, there was the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Normandy landings. Many heads of state and government celebrated their success. No one remembered the tens of thousands of young men who died on the beaches on that occasion.

When I went to Redipuglia in 2014 for the centenary of the world war � I share something personal � I cried when I saw the age of the fallen soldiers. When, a few years later, on November 2 � I visit a cemetery every November 2 � I went to Anzio, I cried there when I saw the age of those fallen soldiers. Last year I went to a French cemetery and saw that the graves of the young men � Christians and Muslims, because the French also sent those from North Africa to fight � were also of young men of 20, 22, 24 years old. When I went to Slovakia, I was struck by the number of young and old women. However, there was a lack of older men. The grandmothers were alone. The war had taken their husbands away.

Why am I telling you this? Because I would like your journals to deal with the human side of war. I would like you to show the human drama of war. It is all very well to make a geopolitical calculation, to study things in depth. You must do so because that is your duty. But also try to convey the human drama of war: the human drama of those cemeteries, the human drama of the beaches of Normandy or Anzio, the human drama of a woman whose receives a knock on the door, it�s a postman with a letter thanking her for having given a son to the country, who is a hero of the country. But she is then left alone. Reflecting on this would help humanity and the Church a great deal. Make your socio-political reflections, without however neglecting human reflection on war.

Let us go back to Ukraine. Everyone opens their hearts to the refugees, the Ukrainian exiles, who are usually women and children. The men are left to fight. At the general audience last week, two wives of Ukrainian soldiers who were in the Azovstal steelworks came to ask me to intercede for them to be saved. We are all very sensitive to these dramatic situations. They are women with children whose husbands are fighting over there. Young, beautiful women. But I ask myself, what will happen when the enthusiasm to help passes? Because things are cooling down, and who will then take care of these women? We need to look beyond the concrete action of the moment, and see how we will support them so that they do not fall into trafficking, are not abused, because the vultures are already circling.

Ukraine is an expert in suffering slavery and war. It is a rich country that has always been cut up, torn apart by the will of those who want to take it over and exploit it. It is as if history has predisposed Ukraine to be a heroic country. Seeing this heroism touches our hearts. A heroism that combines with tenderness! In fact when the first young Russian soldiers arrived � later they sent mercenaries � sent to carry out a �military operation,� as they said, without knowing they were going to war, it was the Ukrainian women who took care of them when they surrendered. Great humanity, great tenderness. Brave women. Brave people. A people not afraid to fight. A people hardworking and at the same time proud of their land. We keep in mind the Ukrainian identity at this time. This is what moves us: to see such heroism. I would really like to emphasize this point, the heroism of the Ukrainian people. What is before our eyes is a situation of world war, global interests, arms sales and geopolitical appropriation, which is martyring a heroic people.

I would like to add one more element. I had a forty-minute conversation with Patriarch Kirill. In the first part he read me a declaration in which he gave reasons justifying the war. When he finished, I intervened and told him: �Brother, we are not clerics of the State, we are pastors of the people.� I was to have met him on June 14 in Jerusalem, to talk about our shared issues. But with the war, by mutual agreement, we decided to postpone the meeting to a later date, so that our dialogue would not be misunderstood. I hope to meet him at a general assembly in Kazakhstan in September. I hope to be able to greet him and speak a little with him as a pastor.

this makes it extremely unwise to travel through customs with drugs

still, the laws which enable such things enable the power of the state at the great expense of the individual with no advantages to the population, and a have long history of various abuse in every place that's enforced drug policy at the barrel of a gun, from the Spanish conquests of coca to Anslinger's bullshit and everything in between. These laws are regressive and should be protested, at home or abroad. I don't believe anyone here is seriously advocating for Russia or anywhere else to dole out long prison sentences for petty drug crimes, that doesn't sound like a leftist position without also adopting puritanism on the side.

AFAIK this is the first time the Russian MoD made a specific accusation that the AFU murdered its own soldiers for attempting to surrender. I'm sort of inclined to believe it considering there's been a sudden drop-off in mutiny videos.

quote:

❗️I would like to emphasize that in recent weeks, incidents of shooting Ukrainian servicemen in the back by nationalist units have become more frequent in the areas of hostilities . So, after conducting fire preparations for the offensive of Russian troops in the area of the settlement of Novomikhailovka (DPR), more than 30 servicemen of the 25th battalion of the 54th mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine decided to lay down their arms and surrender.

◾️The Ukrainian servicemen, who occupied a stronghold in the area of the Animal Farm , braced themselves by radio to the command of the Russian unit to cease fire and provide an exit corridor. At about 10 p.m., servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with white flags began to advance towards the Russian positions .

◾️At that moment, a detachment of Ukrainian nationalists , who arrived at the strong point on armored vehicles, opened crossfire at the servicemen of the 54th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the back .
As a result of this shooting , 32 Ukrainian servicemen were fatally wounded and killed.

A couple of hundred pages back, I told you guys about my Russian friend who applied for aliyah to move to Israel and escape. He just called me to tell me they all got approved. Him, his wife, child, father, stepmother and even his 85 year old grandmother.
They are sorting out the papers now, finding a place to live etc. His parents and grandmother will go first, and he is planning to follow them by October. Organizing selling all their properties and stuff until then.

In contrast, his mother-in-law is currently near the front lines in a small village in Ukraine. Refusing to leave, she says they have animals, cattle, it is their land can't leave it behind. Her brother sits on the porch with a gun every night.

i think that works a lot better for food than for other stuff, because the inputs have higher tolerances and basically all food can be produced domestically

it's a lot more difficult for e.g. car factories that have very specialised inputs which come from abroad. they'll manage somehow but throughput and quality will suffer for a while.

Yeah, for complex capitalistic products with a deep supply chain, what capital flight takes with it is the contracts with the capitalist subcontractors. You essentially have to recreate the whole component hierarchy, at which point owning the final assembly plant doesn't do you much good (or a single component factory, either)

I am convinced that the global dispersion of subcontracted manufacturers is to some subconscious degree driven specifically by the desire to make the workers' conquest of a single factory untenable... Capital is always seeking to make itself more liquid and intangible, less possible to fix and combat.

Well, the Russians found 32 corpses and the initial report was for 'over 30 servicemen' wanting to surrender, so at most its single digit survivors.
