Someone in the place we are not allowed to mention by name here had a meltdown over our discussion about Libya and Gaddafi's overthrowing by western military aid to the rebels.

So logically, that goon decided buy revenge avatars as a "mark of shame". Turns out, AI-generated star emperor HRC avatars weren't as effective as they thought with the crowd here, and people started to heckle that goon to buy more. More than 400 dollars later we now have a thread full of Hillaried goons and someone spent their rent money to "own the libs".

technically noone's come forward so it's hard to be sure but it appears that someone got Extremely Normal about this thread and its posters and went on an av buying spree. everyone in here was bemused and then kind of liked them, so if it was an attempted own it backfired hilariously and if it wasn't it worked great and everyone's happy :buddy:.
also since noone's come forward none of us really knows why :black101: KILLARY (but star wars) was the way to go, so uh, enjoy it on its merits I guess.

There are three grain ships on the way to Ukraine from Israel and Greece, with one of them having already entered the Danube. It doesn’t seem Russia has acted in any way to stop them, despite threats earlier.

And it doesn't seem like Erdgogan is doing anything to escort the grain either, despite earlier suggestions that he would do so ?

Maybe that building is special Russian technology that attracts drones so they don't hit their intended targets

I was more getting at that even if it was total accidental drone strike (as Russia claims it was) on a civilian office, then RUSSIA would be screaming about the perfidious Ukrainian war crimes. Even if it was Russia who, as they claim, shot it down into that building. But they're not, so 100% chance it was a legit military target even in Russia's eyes.

Not that it would stop anyone on the ground (well, sea or air) from loving up and doing it, but I think even Russia knows that loving with an Israeli ship would not end well. Insane fascist recognizes insane fascist.

This time we are setting up youth groups to a revolutionary guard via social media to overtake the Karelian Republic.

I was going to say that the idea of a youth group to take over Karelia is laughably stupid because nobody under the age of 70 gives a single solitary flying gently caress about reclaiming Karelia, but in the interest of being accurate I must stress that a bunch of ~40 year old gammons with degrees from the university of life and memberships in the True Finns party (or one of their even insaner, racister offshoots) performatively yell about Karelia.

And to be honest I wouldn't put it past those assholes to have some kind of loving Rambo LARP summer camp to reclaim Karelia where father_land_defenders pose with nazi flags and shoot bows at pictures of left wing politicians. Which they literally already did.

Goddamn, first Hersh becomes a literal meme, now this.

I hope his new buddies don't look to closely at him.

quote:

Conventional wisdom argues that Ukraine should be forced to give up its nuclear weapons to ensure peace and stability in Europe. This is quite wrong. As soon as Ukraine declared its independence, Washington should have encouraged Kiev to fashion its own secure nuclear deterrent. The dangers of Russian-Ukrainian rivalry bode poorly for peace. If Ukraine is forced to maintain a large conventional army to deter potential Russian expansion, the danger of war is much greater than if it maintains a nuclear capability. US policy should recognize that Ukraine, come what may, will keep its nuclear weapons.

And I liked that article about how the Donetsk and Luhansk people are just not even humans in the eyes of the Russians.

Donetsk is comparable to city 17 with police and military rolling around constantly mobilizing anyone who is male or abducting then and making them. It's literally hell.
