  • Those are pills, so it's the pill pouch:)

  • I remember hearing him say "oranges" instead of "origins", realising he said the wrong thing and then repeating "oranges" again.

  • Rīga's bar scene is amazing.

    Or so I've been told.

  • Valerian root extract is an alternative medicine to treat anxiety and insomnia that gives felines a temporary sense of euphoria before chilling them out.

    Although non-toxic to cats, it might cause addiction and digestive issues and cats can overdose and get liver problems on it.

  • Oh I'm sorry. Yeah, Afghanistan is a place where both empires and dreams go to die. My father in law fought in Soviet-Afghan war and hasn't stopped drinking since.

  • irrelevant part of the world

    Ukraine grows a lot of grain. If the countries it exports grain to don't get that grain, millions starve. Starvation will greatly contribute to regional instability in already fragile states. We've already seen a series of coups in Africa and if Ukraine and Russia keep fighting, we will see more and more of them, each one more violent and desperate than the rest. We've seen millions of refugees from Syria before, get ready to see a hundred million in the years to come.

  • His signature looks like a graffiti in Arabic.

  • Biscuit

    It's a great name.

  • It's not "conservative leadership", it's simply "mob leadership".

  • Nothing worse than a pile of hot snot to make that Instagram video project a reality.

  • Have to land that Harrier vertically on the side of a dam.

  • Fiat is 'Fix it again tomorrow'

  • You could generate a different temporary img url every time and nightshade it after the link expires.

  • Thanks.

    I avoid random X/Twitter links like the plague, since that platform is full of Deceptive Imagery Persuasion. Any video or photo can be taken out of context to mean the wrong thing. I could not find the CNN's original video, maybe someday it will be easier to search for them.

    I have been using Google for long enough to know that it often shows us what we want to see, not that which is most likely to be correct. :)

    Now I see the foundations of your beliefs I can better understand your opinions. I still do not agree with them though, because I believe those foundations to be somewhere between flawed and ideology-driven.

    First of all, Euromaidan was a coup, by it's definition, but it was not instigated by the west, which I assumed was your opinion.

    Regarding Russian economic data you seem to be flaunting, Russia has made it hard for outside sources to verify any of it.

    I yet or bothered to translate the German or French links, but a lot of other articles I actually mostly agree with: Ukraine will struggle to achieve their objectives without western aid despite past successes.

    You seem to derive a lot of your opinions from mearsheimer.substack.com source but the sources the author uses to prove your points often come from rt.com which is like, the worst source for this discussion.

    I understand that these Internet debates are not for changing minds of my opponents, but to show my points to people who are not yet decided.

    I will, however, refrain from posting on lemmy.ml in the future, because I can see that you are a mod of several communities on this instance and your overall conduct in this post has been rather childish and disrespectful. I feel like mods should hold themselves to a higher standard.

  • No, Ukraine has been engaged in atrocities in Donbas since 2014 as even western media reported at the time.

    Russian propaganda talking point.

    If the west didn't run a coup to overthrow a democratically elected government then there would've been no troubles in Ukraine. Period.

    Euromaidan was not a coup.

    That's complete and utter nonsense, and even western media now admits this.

    Cite sources for the first point and military strategy analysts for the second.

  • Weaker Russia means lower need for future military spending, and it is cheaper to give old weapons to Ukraine than to dispose of them locally.
