The building was on fire and it wasn't my fault.

the war nerd mentioned it briefly, but it is to be expected, as none of the empires have real interest in Sudan anymore. all the news i've read are just saying "ok so these two warlords are fighting and we're weirdly not backing either of them"

Declining American hegemony confirmed, fighting is happening somewhere and the media hasn't told me yet who are the good guys

Assad's hung on in Syria remarkably tenaciously, dude must be a lot tougher than he looks. Most people would've bottled it when a bunch of their top government ministers were nixed by a suicide bomber and NATO was openly discussing doing a Gaddafi on him.

it looks like he's actually studied history so that's something but i'd also be wary of any western 'commentator' because they're all just parroting a narrative whether they know it or not

you notice patterns like all the military youtubers suddenly deciding to all make videos hyping the Abrams and Leopard 2 at the same time as each other. While the media environment is like this i don't think there's any real possibility to get a non-compromised viewpoint. No one is allowed to speak freely even if they wanted to. Can you imagine how many subscribers you'd lose if you went off script? Do you want a load of doges in your comments?

This is what I don't understand. When we were meddling in Ukraine politics we had a choice of who was going to be our pawn and we chose a short dude. Just a complete failure of empire building by the fail sons in Washington.

Zelensky was absolutely picked by the wealthy Ukrainian ruling class that thought they were clever and sly enough to not get crushed between two powers with competing interests.

the funniest Ukraine TTRPG thing is this guy who is living in Odessa but even when rockets explode down the block he’s much more concerned about getting Zak Smith’s rapist rear end uncancelled than he is about his country being systematically dismantled by the US and BlackRock

https://profesnpc.blogspot.com/

see how many posts he can go without mentioning Zak, lmao. he was banned from most RPG forums for picking fights about the guy whereas if he’d just stayed playing Brave Ukraine Guy he could’ve gotten sucked off by liberals for the next ten years
