Actually it's because they disliked that the power went to people with titles instead of just a poo poo ton of land and slaves

Yeah, she was not a fascist, just a twit - enough of a twit that she could not sell tax cuts for billionaires to billionaires.

I hope this was just Putin covering his bases by giving himself the option, but depending on where the frontline in Kherson is right now, his window for blowing the dam is probably closing rapidly. And if he does, he's saying he's willing to give up Crimea to burn Ukraine, which is... something...

This is terrible but not as bad as my first thought on why they were evacuating Kherson, I honestly thought that's where the nuke would go off.

Could still be similarly bad, they're evacuating everyone through the floodplains downstream from the dam. Even if Russia's plan isn't to kill a bunch of evacuees, it might still happen if they blow it in a panic before everyone is out of the way. Either way if Russia does this, they need to be cut off from every access point to the global economy and designated as a terrorist state at minimum.

BIG HEADLINE posted:It's not Putin's playbook, it's a classic Russo-Soviet "strategy" - "escalate to deescalate." This is a mistranslation and since I've had it pointed out to me I have to correct it when I see it. Russian strategy is "escalate to terminate". The objective is not deescalation, the objective is to assert escalation dominance at every point in a crisis/conflict to win.

I mean, you’re just describing early stage fascism. Reagan’s policies were, in hindsight, entirely about boosting the government to private industry cash pipeline (privatization and defunding social programs aka ketchup counts as a vegetable) while significantly boosting the militarization of the police and the vilification of minorities (‘war on drugs’, ‘crack epidemic’ and ‘welfare queen’ hyperbole). Not to mention good old ultra nationalism.
