We’ve tried this. Blair’s talks with Putin, Obama’s Russia Reset, energy cooperation in Europe, and that non aggression deal Russia signed with Ukraine.
Putin threw all of that away when he invaded Crimea and then Ukraine.
True peace in the region will be achieved by Putin being removed from power by the Russian people, ending the war at internationally recognised boarders, rebuilding Ukraine letting them choose their own path geopolitically, AND helping Russia rebuild from decades of corruption and kleptocracy.
Until then the only way to stop Putin, who only recognises strength, is to fight back.
Should have started the pilot training programme, supplied tanks, APCs, IFVs, air defence, and combined warfare training the moment the Kiev rush failed for Russia.
If they had done that maybe the spring offensive would have gone a lot better.
Oof. That’s like a cynical Douglass Adams joke.
Dum, dum, dum, another one out the gene pool.
Hope you’ve got enough whetstones to keep the blade sharp as you chop off 30% of the country’s heads.
I don’t like the fact we’re out of the EU, but you’re not going to convince that portion of the public that we’re better in the EU until the public LIVE through being outside the EU and watching them outpace us.
What’s it going to take?
I think you know the answer.
Get your guns, beans, and gasoline.
Coming soon: the freedom to be maimed by corporations cutting corners on dangerous equipment design and safety equipment provision.
Yeah no. No one is going to intervene on your private continent where there’s three guns per person. And unless those countries fancy getting friendlier with China, they’ll just hold their noses when they deal with Trump. Like they did 2016 to 2020.
You’ve got the means already; get your guns, beans, and gasoline. And if you care about American democracy, and these chuckle-fucks try to kill it, then you’re going to have to fight for it
Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that, but good luck.
Well get your guns and get your civil war over with please. The only way to fight fascists, who believe that “might makes right” and “the eternal struggle” against their enemies, is to meet them with overwhelming force.
From the article, talking about the complaints citing the Moms for Liberty rating system:
“Anne Frank’s Diary” and “Maus” both rate a “2” on BookLooks, with the site’s objections to the latter described as “hate involving antisemitism and racism; violence; nonsexual nudity; and mild/infrequent profanity.”
Would you look at that: non-sexual nudity, oh the shock and horror, children might learn that underneath clothes people are naked 😱
As shown by the complaint quoted in the article they’re removing these books because they discuss historical horrors, violence, and hate, therefore your argument holds no water at all.
the propaganda that is an attack on people that want to sensor books.
How is this propaganda?
Also you are completely incorrect. Those books are ABSOLUTELY are about history and learning.
Anne Frank’s Dairy is a first hand historical account of life an oppressed and genocided group under facism. Maus is another recollection of first-hand historical accounts of a polish Jew being interviewed by his son but shown visually in a cartoon graphic novel to make the context more visually palatable for a younger audience without avoiding the horrific events of history.
What next? Are you going to claim the Horrible History books are neither educational or historical as well?
I literally said the opposite. How did you come to that conclusion?
Um I can think of a few differences but I think the major one is that one of the geriatric fucks actually promised to end democracy in the US.
So, maybe don’t back his team?
Well if it ends up in civil war, can you at least launch the nukes and end the whole world as well, I’m kind of done being alive and going out with everyone else is probably the best excuse for not continuing on.
History is uncomfortable. Revising it to tell lovely stories is all well and good for building a national identity.
However, sugar-coating, ignoring, or even flat-out erasing parts of history benefits no one. People started writing events down accurately because the orators of old never intended paint an accurate picture of the past. And therefore lessons learnt from the failures of humanity (lost causes, preventable catastrophies, perspectives of people on the wrong side, genocides, etc.) were also lost.
History should be uncomfortable, so we can collectively learn and have a chance to do better the next time.
You do realise that there’s a version of Mien Kampf that’s four times as long because there’s several experts annotating and debunking Hitler’s ideas right there on the page.
You see the US DoD’s funding of FPS games is a long term plan for when everything on the battlefield is a drone therefore, fitness levels not being a requirement, they’ll have the best trained UGV, USV, UAV pilots.
Also I’m pretty sure the foul voice chat practice is going to be such an effective electromagnetic-cyber-psychological cross-domain weapon, it’s use will be banned as a warcrime under the Geneva Convention of 2052.
I can’t believe it’s taken me until now to notice the link between the artist’s name and song name in the historical context. Great song btw, karaoke favourite.
That’s it.
It’s either a trump election win and civil war from him dismantling one too many of the elements of US government.
Or trump looses the election, incites a civil war, and the craziest actually do it.
Either way, as this even proves: Get. Your. Guns. Whilst you still can.
