*poo poo Tankies and chuds actually believe*

I'm real tired of pretending this pathetic keystone cops farce of a nation state and that farce of a party that is the GOP, and the farce of the tankie garbage "online left", and that farce that is that cruel Mockery of a human being that is that Innsmouth inbred motherfucker Elon Musk are in any way legitimate

Like what the gently caress is the breaking point for liberal civility politics with dumbfuck fascists and smooth brain, room temperature IQ enablers, conmen, and glue eaters supporting them?

Because gently caress them. They are absolutely pathetic, and we as a global community have to decide once and for all to say enough is enough of these missing links in evolutionary regression and kick their asses out, everywhere. Mock them, ridicule them, humiliate them, just make them crawl back into the primordial soup and utterly shut the gently caress up already!

Sorry for the rant, but gently caress me am I sick of at least 15 years of Civility politics enabling this dumb slow rolling fascist takeover of the Earth by clowns who couldn't figure out the meaning of the Cat and the Hat.

The bad news is there is no way to stop them from taking over because there is functionally no real resistance thanks to decorum, the good news is they will absolutely gently caress every possible thing up so badly they will be thrown out of power. It just might take, you know, 20 years. Then hopefully we get another few generations who remember not to let fascists take power

It does seem crazy that this is the thing that's hitting Russia so God drat hard. I mean it is like a national morning right now for all these ships because even though they don't give a poo poo about men. The Russian deep down nose that the Black Sea fleet represents its ability to actually stand up to the west. I think I said it earlier and I'll say it again every time there's a conflict involving Russia and one of its allies for example syria. They go and shoot the black fleet down there and start buzzing us carrier groups and threatening to use nukes and all this other bullshit. It is literally there one in the process of losing their one stick. And unfortunately there's no stick as good as that one.

Are the port facilities at Novorossiysk good enough to repair the BSF ships? If not they would have to tow the ships to another dry dock out of the Black Sea making them functionally useless for the rest of the war, if they can be repaired. Or Novorossiysk can repair everything that will take years at this point, excluding ships that haven't been damaged and need maintenance.

Yeah musk said that destroying the black feet would be like Pearl harbor for the russians. I mean honestly that's not far off. I don't know that they would do any nuclear response like the bullshit he was saying for his reasoning behind turning off star link. But overall that statement is fairly true that they see the black fleet as their sole ability to project naval power and the loss would have achieved what the Japanese hoped to achieve
