The Holodomor happened years after Russia achieved their so-called "peace". The suffering and death in Ukraine will only increase under Russian subjugation. The only way to put an end to it is for Russia to lose and preferably Putin be brought in front of the Hague and publicly hanged for his crimes against humanity.

What they're defending against is being raped, murdered, starved and having their children stolen by Russia. All you Tankies always try to distract from and ignore the suffering and mountain of corpses left in Russia's wake. You don't get to ignore the 300 thousand children stolen by Russia or the 5 million killed in the Holodomor.

Ukraine desperately wants those bombs. They remember what it was like living under Russian imperialist rule. They remember that Russia genocided 10% of their population the last time they were conquered.

Back in the day we would prank each other by flipping the 120\240 switch on each other's computers so that they wouldn't turn on. That kept going until someone did it one too many times and freed the foul smelling machine spirit.

Yeah, MAGA doesn't have principles or anything even resembling a coherent world view.

I've had more than a few conversations with MAGA types who agree massive corporations are running rampant and are a major problem, but then go on to advocate for deregulation.

That cuts both ways. It's only a matter of time until we see Ukrainian style flying drone bombs on the other side.

Yeah, it's a class A misdemeanor in Illinois, so he'll almost certainly get probation.

Edit: Ironically, he might catch a felony for destruction of property if her phone was worth more than $500.

No.

Because the plants and the building look very Thai, or at least tropical and not in the US.

Germanium and gallium are not that rare. They're produced as a byproduct of other types of mining (zinc, aluminum, coal, etc). China has a monopoly on them not because of any kind of special geology, but because they were willing to sell them below cost for decades.

It won't take long for alternative sources to spin up and become available, especially because China has been threatening to do this for over a year.

I fully support it for the rich and powerful just because prisons can't reliably hold them. If they're not put in the ground, they'll worm their way out of consequences eventually.

You'd think Trump and Giuliani selling pardons for $2 million a piece would be a much bigger example.

Biden already pardoned everyone convicted of possessing weed. The only "non-violent" cannabis offenders in federal prison are dealers.

Homogenization doesn't skim the fat. It breaks the fat globules up into very small particles that form a stable emulsion that doesn't separate. All they do is pass it through a high pressure nozzle.

According to Putin, it's not a national emergency or war. It's a "special military operation", which is why the conscripts haven't been deployed and are still sitting on Russian soil.

All of the Russians in Ukraine are volunteers. They signed up for this and deserve to die horrible deaths. Putin has specifically limited conscript deployments to Russia proper to avoid public blowback, so the only time they saw any fighting was during the early days of the Kursk offensive.

Same. People need to stop buying from giant corporations. Everything they sell is cheap shit sold at a ridiculous price now because investors expect a 30% profit margin.

This site has probably the best visualizer (scroll past the first section to get the free historical data): https://oec.world/en/profile/country/mex?yearlyTradeFlowSelector=flow1

TL;DR: Lots of things. $300 billion worth of things.
