I once flew across country with a knife (accidentally) and they only caught it on the return flight. I was so surprised to see it, especially since I had already gone through a secondary patdown on the initial flight, that I just asked them to please throw it away.
I must've left it in my backpack after a camping trip and forgot.
Thank God they always caught my water bottles and prevented me from starting a mid-flight water fight though.
The next day, the anti-communist task force said it felt “betrayed” and “hoodwinked”.
That's ironic projection after literally blindfolding these women.
The United States is a key defence partner of the Philippines and recently concluded two weeks of joint military drills with the country’s armed forces.
Not surprising. I wonder if Philippines gets School of the Americas style education too, would explain where they learned to kidnap young women activists and force them to lie under threat of death as an anti-Communist tactic.
But I have to take back what I said, Ukraine started seeking NATO membership as early as 2008. Although it does seem that they started seeking NATO as a priority after Euromaidan.
My point was that it's doubtful to say they exercised their right as a country to freely decide whether to join NATO, especially if there was no major popular demand for it at the time, I'm sure it's just coincidental that they sought NATO as a priority after a US-backed coup.
First of all, what's up with this title? I thought Zelensky fucking died.
But the media was recently critical of Nazis in Ukraine until the current invasion. That includes BBC, Reuters, Guardian, and Telegraph just to name a few. Now they all pretend like it's fake news, Russian propaganda. Haha
And, as far as I know, Ukraine only started seeking NATO membership after the 2014 US-backed coup. (They first applied in 2008.) So, I don't know if Ukraine, like the Scandinavian countries, didn't actually have popular support to join NATO pre-2022 but it'd make sense if public opinion has now shifted.
I know one person that had EV and went back to gas, but they're a tenant and had to do the whole drive and wait at a random parking lot for a long time which they didn't really like doing but also isn't safe for them as a woman. So far the only friend of mine who had an EV actually.
Their lease ended and they said fuck it.
I still might get a hybrid because gas is so expensive. We're fucked regardless, I guess.
I agree. This study aside, I think EV is still really, incredibly shitty for working class people who can't afford it or for tenants who don't have plugs at home and need to sit at some WholeFoods or whatever like idiots to charge up.
And I agree about mileage. If I had to drive across country, where there may not even be any charging stations available, I would not do it in an EV.
I'm still torn on whether I should even get a hybrid. I hear those batteries are like ~$10k to replace and that's after paying more upfront.
So, are they now backtracking and implying they did bomb the hospital but were justified because of underground tunnels?
