The US is supporting Israel through what we can mostly all agree is a genocide of the Gazans. Clearly, Biden isn’t a genocidal maniac, yet he’s all in with unwavering support. Why are we doing this? There has to be a logical reason that isn’t just “we want Israel to kill everyone in Gaza and take their land a la...
The thing about mutually assured destruction is that it assures everyone loses. I wasn’t too worried. Accidental launches could happen and we got close a couple of times.
Most of the time it was chill. Lots of spy movies. And all sorts of propaganda was flying about.
President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman informed Russians this week that the “special military operation” that Putin launched in Ukraine in February 2022 was set to go on much longer because it is now “a war against the collective West.”...
There’s a reason why Russians do not believe democracy can work. It is the fact that the only brief time there was democracy in Russia in the past few hundred years was a time of unmitigated chaos. The transition away from communism was un utter disaster. The west didn’t help either. All the west did was try take a piece of the pie.

I’d like to say when the shit hits the fan. But that was years ago. So I think it’ll be when they get real personal consequences. And even then for some it’ll never be over.

Also in the faster time formats it is a valid strategy to move faster than your opponent forcing them to run out of time. Even though you might be a queen or two down. But if they can’t mate you in the time allotted, well…

They’re gaining invaluable battlefield experience that NATO troops simply aren’t.
Oh, yes they are. Ukraine is in close contact with NATO countries and sharing intel. NATO countries are also buying drones in bulk right now. And developing ones that Russia will not see until they try to pick a fight with NATO.
I just realized while cooking that a measuring-cup cup (as measured out as 250mL in a glass measuring cup) is the same amount(s) as one of the actual plastic baking measuring cups that go inside each other like Russian dolls lol...
In Sweden that might be true. But in the UK the monarch has some vestigial power. Even though everyone assures that if he ever tried to actually use those powers they would be taken away. But it doesn’t change the fact that in the UK the monarch still has power.
The planet will be fine. Humans on the other hand not so much. The planet is quickly becoming uninhabitable by humans. The genocides are just hurrying that process along.
Poland, Germany and the Netherlands have signed an agreement on plans to create a “military transport corridor” that would allow troops and equipment to be moved more easily through their territories to bolster NATO’s eastern flank....
And yet in the polls they are still popular. Which I find baffling. The presumptive candidate for president in the second round is from the ruling right wing party.
It’s like people don’t know what they are voting for or don’t care.
Seriously, why is the USA supporting Israel?
