Trump wants them to stop fighting and allow the US to start digging for Ukrainian minerals. The Russians keep winning in clear defiance of this goal.

Americans don’t know that there’s a world outside of the US. They genuinely believe that the world will cease to function without them.

I’ve been playing the communist birds in Stellaris. I haven’t played in a few years, and a big new patch is coming soon. I had a hankering for a 4X game, and figured it would be a good time to play a game. The patch will probably take a while to stabilise, and I also wanted to see what had happened to the game in the last couple of years before the rework. I’ve also been dabbling a bit with The Pale Beyond and SpaceVenture. I’m not that far in SpaceVenture yet, but it seems like a solid rebirth of Space Quest. The Pale Beyond is like a choose your own adventure version of The Terror Season 1. I’m also not too far in that one, but I can see it getting really bleak really fast. I like it so far.

I liked the Nintendo Direct. The hardware seems solid, if entirely too big. It’ll probably just sit plugged into my TV though, like my Switch, so it’s not the worst thing in the world. And I have some excitement about maybe getting to play Bayonetta 3 at full speed. I’m surprised that the only big 1st party launch title seems to be Mario Kart World though. I’ll probably pick that up, and maybe the upgrade pack for Tears of the Kingdom, which I still haven’t finished. I’m less than pleased about paid upgrades and the pricing in general, but I’ll live with it.

I’m honestly not sure what you’re trying to imply in the first paragraph. Russia shouldn’t have mobilised their troops before attacking? They shouldn’t have given Zelensky one last try to make things right? 8 years was too short of a time for negotiations? Zelensky needed to go to war so he could look tough? WTF?

The second paragraph is more clear, but just seems to be liberal talking points. Which is fair, because I posted liberal sources, but the primary complaint seems to be that liberals don’t support the Russian SMO, so I shouldn’t? The war crimes thing is just fluff based on liberal propaganda. I still support the US’ entry into World War 2. Despite them being most enthusiastic committer of war crimes on the planet, committing the most horrifying attack on civilians in human history.

First of all, congratulations on opening your eyes and being willing to listen. That’s not a small step. Please start with cfgaussian’s post, as it’s comprehensive and detailed. But I like to keep these two links handy for my liberal friends who call anything written by non-western people propaganda. They both basically say the same thing, but the first is more historical, and the second is more geopolitical. The second one is written by a former assistant secretary general of the UN who “escaped” the USSR.

Personally, I’m entirely on board with the Russian “invasion”, and my support for it is uncritical. The war should never have happened, but now that it’s here, Russia needs to see it through to the end. They were left with no other choice.

That’s what they eventually did. They do that with other countries as well.

I’m not really into playing 4x games multiplayer. But I did play Stellaris multiplayer. It can get pretty frantic if you don’t pause every now and then, but a far cry from boring.

Most people here are not capitalists. They’re workers like us and would benefit from socialism. But they’ve been subjected to nationalist and capitalist propaganda their entire lives, and that makes socialism become the boogeyman. It makes it hard for them to see how much they would benefit.

About damned time. I was checking the LGBT travel advisories a few months ago, and was surprised that the US was green. Absolutely no way should anyone be travelling to Florida.

When your overton window has fallen off the bloody table.

Yeah, you should only get your news from right wing media owned by oligarchs. That’s how you know it’s true.

Only then will the United States be able to focus entirely on containing China, which is of paramount importance to American security and prosperity.

Not to mention that line at the end. Freely admitting that the real problem with China is that they’re bigger than the US. Americans just cannot deal with the thought of not being able to bully the rest of the world.

I’m sorry, I have a really hard time reading your post. But I gather that you wanted to talk about crimes against the people instead of external entities? That’s sort of what I intended to do with the comm I created. A daily reporting of the US’ past human rights violations/crimes through its short history, in the style of western Tienanmen Square articles:

[email protected]

I’ve only been doing it for about a week and a half, but I already have a couple of posts there specifically relating to suppression of speech/media that doesn’t agree with the western narrative. The HUAC inquisition of anti-war protesters, and the attempted character assassination of a prominent journalist.

I haven’t fully decided on what I’m talking about tomorrow, but I’m leaning against talking about The Camden 28, so I’ll talk about it a bit here. They were a group that attempted to sabotage the draft for the Vietnam war. The FBI had them dead to rights, but the jury refused to convict. The war was THAT unpopular, but the government still took people off the streets and sent them halfway around the world to kill people who did nothing to them. That sounds pretty totalitarian to me.

Oh sorry, I glossed over this post, as your links didn’t work, it was very late at night, and I was drunk.

But yes, I see now that you’re a minor, and the US is planning on enforcing censorship on free thinking minors. This is bad. This is very bad. And I will join you in urging our American comrades to try to do something about this.

Just a worthless drunk living off of their hard earned tax dollars. I should have my treaty rights taken away and annexed because it’s unfair to still have them over events that happened over a hundred years ago.

Sorry to put you through that comrade. The title just really didn’t seem to fit to me, and we really don’t need misinformation here.

Where in the article does it say anything about nuclear weapons?

They’re already tracking you. We are all on a watch list. I’m sorry.

It makes more sense than this KLM ad:

There is only one unit of length in metric. The meter. Everything else is a multiple, which are typically base 10, and have standard prefixes. This applies to EVERY metric unit, including time. If you want to be weird and divide the meter into different bases, there’s nothing stopping you.

Fun fact actually, your SAE units are defined in metric. Why? Because metric units are precisely defined instead of being based on the king’s foot.
