Fucked either way

Im sorry, I know what each of those words mean but you're not making any sense?

Can you imagine how dumb we would all feel if Russia was right? (/s)

In my completely unresearched opinion?

"We just kept advancing, and it just kept working".

Got my kids into halo LAN.

The only thing missing is enough players for a good infection or pirates. Just a big gutted my oldest is into mountain dew.

Brought UT04 a few months ago for $2.99.

Still amazing.

You're right, I'm doubtful they will match on Moscow - won't be surprised if they drone it though.

Just keeping in mind this isn't a war ending stellar breakthrough that many believe - its a blow for Russia, a boost for Ukraine, fighting in a new field around a new village. Russia has been invaded plenty of times, but that depth is a killer.

Just a depressing reminder.

Russia holds considerable defense in depth. ~20km depth is not alot in area or value. Moral hit is considerable, puts Russia on the defensive in one area, but Ukraine has not even pushed Russia out of their initial gains or reclaimed its border.

Don't be stupid- I can clearly see this picture.

(What an absolute clusterfuck that ending was)

I mean, according to China they are staying in their lane and we're not.

I disagree, but there are two perspectives.

Same.

Im also like "so companies know im lazy and untidy? No shit, thats why I brought one".

Or we talking voice data or or something?

If we get peace in the middle east I'll say Harambe is back.

Whats samwell tarly doing infront of a computer?

Very carefully

On point 1, outside of a few extremists I don’t think anyone considers all of Palestine to be a part of Hamas

"We're liberating the Palestinian people from Hamas" is a zionist talking point. Learn to recognize that pattern when it's used to justify action against other countries; eg sanctions against Cuba, Syria, Iran, North Korea, which primarily hurt the people.

See, I never said anything about liberation, support or justification, only that Palestine is not Hamas, yet I've been downvoted to crap. You are right on the patterns from those who wish to justify - did you also consider the patterns of "if you're not with us you're the enemy" and "everyone is against us"?

Most of the other Palestinian parties, some of which have literal had gun battles with Hamas have started working with them since Oct 7. The PLFP knows more about what's good for the future of the Palestinian people than either of us, and they're willing to work with Hamas.

Hamas has been defined as a terrorist organization for years, not sure where Israel is currently sitting (as recognized by intl bodies). Regarding this conflict, I just hope that everyone on both sides acting beyond the accepted scope are held accountable by intl courts or their own people.

America isn’t becoming a backwards, puritan and corrupt country

I mean it kinda always has been. The government has always been much more reactionary than the people, but it's always been a puritan country with legalized corruption, going as far back as Washington passing taxes to give his distilleries competitive advantage. I can link you some free history books on America, is there any time period that interests you?

Studied that one from an intl relations perspective. Parts of them I 100% agree with you, however believe these parts have blocked the underlying drives to reform. No thanks on history - im studying intl relations and armed conflict and already got ~100 readings this semester.

China...

The CPC has overwhelming support from the population, it does a better job of representing the people than most western democracies, evidenced by greatest increase in living standards for a large country in history. Do you think it's more likely the people have aggressive expansionist goals, or that you have an incomplete understanding?

I would argue the source material. Covid showed us that many countries would happily lie on their own reports to present a better picture to the intl community - China especially. Think like religion in the states - they may have a major religious population but how many keep the beliefs for fear of alienating themselves, indoctrination or because its what you're meant to do?

Russia isn’t a warmongering state

Russia is a bourgeoisie democracy, if Putin and his party didn't do what the Russian bourgeoisie wanted, they'd put someone else in power. The state is warmongering, the people aren't.

Sorry, bad choice of words. The country Russia and its people aren't, the state and govt are.

Quick question- going back as far as we currently know - is the land you are living on right now stolen from someone?

Because God forbid anyone in this conflict be held responsible for their own actions, rather than blaming everything on who came before them.

Thanks to a single tiktok I have a 4 year old that walks around calling people Cornholio, and TP for Bunghole. Its some of the nicest stuff that comes out of school and kindy.

Thank you for being one if the few that rip into Hamas at the same time as calling Israel out. I disagree on downvoting them as they contributed to the conversation, but points don't matter.

On point 1, outside of a few extremists I don't think anyone considers all of Palestine to be a part of Hamas - its just how we talk.

America isn't becoming a backwards, puritan and corrupt country - the Republicans are and they held the power. But we don't say that, we just say America is turning to shit. China doesn't have aggressive expansionist goals, the CCP does. Russia isn't a warmongering state, Putin and his running party are.

Alabama eggs.

Because they're in bread
