Putin is one of the most wealthy people on the planet

The problem is that most people handling this current situation through the lens of classic geopolitics

This is not classic geopolitics. This is the ultra wealthy enacting their plan to create a global plutocracy. A ruling class of only the most wealthy in the world.

They believe that their plans are more easily achieved with a Russian empire than with a free Ukraine.

Ask people like Rubio questions using that as the basis, not classic geopolitics.

I'm a fan of how ENIAC really used the space

Same as it is in the US

What a farce

Azov was depoliticized when the militia group was absorbed into the national guard.

Compared to the full scale invasion and the threat of Russian genocide, dealing with the minority of Ukranian neo Nazis that do not represent the whole of Ukrainian people is waaaay down the list of priorities

People are so incredibly suspect when they think neo Nazis in Azov is a more pressing matter than the horrors of Bucha, also well documented by western sources

The Azov Regiment has been a recurring theme of Russian propaganda

Every country has a neo Nazi problem if they have a nonzero number of them

As far as I feel when Russia specifically is concerned, Patton was right.

#PATTON WAS RIGHT

GTFO, no one believes your BS

Probably because white supremacy takes a back seat to full scale invasion and genocide

The existence of white supremacy and Nazism is only acceptable grounds for invading another country to Russia who coincidentally have way more Nazis and white supremacists than Ukraine does

...or did anyways. Pretty sure the ranks of Russian Nazis has since been greatly reduced by Ukraine's military

This damn level:

I'm all for it, Darwin at work

Bison is amazing, love it!

I think Bodum products are cool, just never used one myself

I feel kind of bad about it too lol

A close friend of mine that I used to work has a brother that designs Bodum products

He was always proud of that, and I would always forget about it and never try their products in support of his work

Whenever I've needed a Bodum equivalent product I've always just bought the first one I found and it's never been at a place that has Bodum

It's certainly creepy and disgusting

It also seems like we're half a step away from thought police regulating any thought or expression a person has that those in power do not like

Classified accountability office is gonna have a heart attack

I'll do you one better, I can't stand either party

I just especially dislike Republicans right now because they're in power

From William Spaniel

The Madman Theory - The Scientific Art of Negotiating with a Possibly Irrational Opponent

We live in an era where multiple major world leaders have the perception of behaving irrationality. How should the opponent of such a leader negotiate in such cases? It turns out, what makes the situation more interesting is how a rational leader should behave if others think he may be irrational. This is known as the "madman theory" of international relations. Today, we take a deep look into it and see that the benefits of being a perceived madman are fleeting.

Sanctions

The US has a LOT of trading partners

Can't arbitrarily redraw an international border without negotiation

The United Nations Charter prohibits the annexation of a state's territory by another state through the use of force. Annexation is considered an act of aggression and a violation of international law

That's not how this works, that's not how any of this works
