haha I know speng loves that helldump kinda jazz and has quoted that post 30 odd times now, but for the record that was me being devastatingly affected by a video I saw. I wasn't exactly cheering it on

my helldumping (post history button) can confirm that most of your posting is just extremely tedious

i don't think dugin's views materially changed because of the assassination, he was always a psycho, maybe he's more of one now, who can really say

i will say a hearty gently caress you to the people itt when it happened for continuing to post the picture of dugin in the street reacting to his daughter's murder.

im sure he is and always has been a piece of poo poo but that photo and the glee people seemed to have about posting it was one of those that really hit me with the psychic damage good.

I have a confession to make. I know nothing about dugin and even when the car bomb that killed his daughter happened and I saw his distraught photo I still didn't look up anything about him. Couldn't care less about his opinions because he's clearly some domestic demagogue over there. Plenty of people like that all over the world, all interchangable. All people I don't personally want to know.

But blowing up someone's kid right in front of them is harsh. Not cool. At least have the cold mercy to kill both at once, if that's the thing you're into.

Probably a good thing I'm not in a position of power to do with anything related to this because the logical extrapolation inevitable ends with "well if everyone is dead no mourning right? lets just wipe the planet clean of life" and that's probably a terrible plan deserving only of a poorly illustrated indie comic book.

In all seriousness, thread bans are stupid. I have a serious case of poster name and av blindness for most generic war thread freaks, so if your post is annoying enough that I feel like clicking your post history button to see what your dysfunction is, that's a problem that can be solved by posting better.

i don't like war, and there's no easy way to say this, but darya dugina loved war and really embraced it. that doesn't make killing her right or cool, but it's better to love peace than war.

Atrocious Joe posted:

Europe won't have the industrial capacity to replace those weapon systems domestically, so it's also future sales for US weapons manufacturers

In an interesting turn it appears the US is losing out on weapons sales to Europe to South Korea.

Better call Seoul: U.S. watches nervously as Europe turns to South Korea for weapons.

Poland for example won't be buying HIMARS, but Chunmoos instead.

quote:

And last month, Poland signed a contract with South Korean company Hanwha Defense for 288 Chunmoo multiple rocket launchers, with the first batch arriving next year, instead of waiting years to begin receiving the U.S.-made High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems.

Poland was initially seeking as many as 500 HIMARS from the U.S., but at an Oct. 19 signing ceremony with his South Korean counterpart, Defense Minister Mariusz Błaszczak explained that “unfortunately due to limited industrial capabilities, it will not be possible for the equipment to be delivered in a satisfactory timeframe. Therefore, we started talks with South Korea — our proven partner.”

Only makes sense really. US production can't ramp up fast enough to meet demand in areas like that. There's supposedly still wiggle room for helicopters and planes though.

I was at a wedding this afternoon.

Unknowingly walking into a Latin mass is a weird way to find out your brother's new in-laws might be TradCath, but the part that's relevant to this thread is that at the end of the ceremony, there's a special prayer for the intercession of the Lord for the conversion of Russia.

Anger about the reformation in 1517 never ended. They'll start with the eastern orthodox churches, then take out the lutherans (because nobody cares about them) and finish off by purging the protestants, again.

Then once that's all done I imagine we'll go back to outlawing the printing press and limiting literacy to the nobility and priesthood.

Maybe the people against peace negotiations are only familiar with negotiation tactics like those followed by the Democrats (i.e. give the other party everything they want), and while they will vocally state this is the best the Dems can do, they really know it is a raw deal.
