mobby_6kl posted:I like how every single Ukrainian homonazi soldier in that video speaks Russian. Here's a good link. One prominent example is the AK-74M, a variant that's exclusive to Russia, Azerbaijan, and Cyprus. Guess which of those three countries probably has a stake in invading Ukraine. Also GM-94 pump-action grenade launchers, which are only in service with Russia, PKP Pechenegs, and SVD-S sniper rifles. Someone a little more vehicle spergy could also identify the vehicles, but there's very specific T-72 variants (among others) that are Russian.

Though I may appear to be a US government representative I'm only here as a private citizen, in fact our government has special executive branch that handles foreign relations. So when I say 'America is with you' in a few seconds it is only a wistful sentiment, not to interpreted as support in any way." Yes, that is literally what happened. While he's a senator, he was not sent by the United States as far as I'm aware and he has no special relationship with Ukraine that would result in him being chosen by the government to represent the United States there. John McCain doesn't represent a fictional "US involvement in the Maidan" any more than I would if I flew to Kyiv and started throwing Molotovs.

Budzilla posted:Georgia was quite successful in dealing with corruption. The previous president, Saakashvili, fired 85%+ of police officers in Georgia and asked for US assistance in training new recruits - he threw the baby out with the bath water. Saakashvili did other reforms too, he does have critics who say he overstepped his powers as President but I'm guessing he will be remembered well. I don't think getting American training is really going to alleviate corruption and brutality among officers...

Palpek posted:Trump's real/perceived connections with Russia might be his actual Achilles heel. If it becomes a focus in the campaign it could turn the tide. As far as all the polls can tell, the tide was turned against Trump from the start. He's only further shot himself in the foot by being so extreme and crazy as to alienate virtually every relatively moderate Republican (and even some hard right conservatives who correctly think that the insane clown is totally unqualified for the presidency). If Trump actually becomes the president, something has gone seriously wrong with our country.

It's also very possible that any kind of extended war would be a terrible strain on the Russian economy. Pretending that they're not covertly invading Ukraine is one thing, but outright steaming across the border to capture Poland and restart the Warsaw Pact would bring out a level of resistance from NATO that they just couldn't handle.

Zudgemud posted:https://youtu.be/1NN6sZRiB-8 I think the US beats just about every country that's not a third-world shithole. Like there are countries in Latin America where carjacking is considered a "violent crime" in terms of force and the police can legally pop you in the head to stop you from driving off, even if you're not hurting anyone. The US is currently at 1123 deaths during arrests. This includes not only shootings, but also vehicular-related deaths and people who mysteriously drop dead or suffer from "excited delirium" during an arrest.

jonnypeh posted:Maybe it has something to do with less guns in the hands of the population, so police are less jumpy. And no "2nd amendment rights" fanatics go around openly carrying anything from a handgun to a rifle, because the russian state has the potential to gently caress them up real bad. Other than such a thing being outlawed anyway. The thing is, US cops end up shooting a good order of magnitude more people than cops get shot. The issue is they're trained that literally anyone can pull a gun and shoot them at any time for no reason and their safety is paramount, so they react to almost anything with extreme violence.

Lovely Joe Stalin posted:It also, in no small part, is down to the preferential hiring of people with prior military training (which is fundamentally incompatible with responsible civilian 'frontline' policing) and, in all likelihood, an influx of cases of undiagnosed PTSD in the months and years after a period of US military-involved conflict draws to a close. There's actually been cases where officers with prior military experience have been less likely to resort to needless violence, as they've been in situations as stressful or more stressful than trying to figure out if a suspect is armed and are able to analyze the situation and respond appropriately. The incompatibility is in trying to adopt a military mindset without military training and experience, like Cleveland calling police stations "forward operating bases". They pretend that they're in a war zone where anything could happen, which encourages them to treat all civilians (but especially black ones, because of course) as the enemy rather than as the people they're supposed to be protecting. This is how you get cases where a call for a 12-year-old playing with what may or may not be a toy gun in the park is responded to by cops roaring their car off the road into a park and shooting at a child as they climb out of the vehicle.
