How the hell do you think Russia is gearing up for invading other nations when the USA out spends it by an order of magnitude and already has 600+ military bases on foreign soil.

Y'all are really delusional. Russia doesn't have any ability to launch another invasion and the CIA has continuously assessed that Russia has neither the means nor the intention to take and hold Ukraine.

Lol. You have GOT to be talking about the USA here, right? Talk about corruption-riddled military. The USA spends more on military then the next 11 countries combined and it can't produce artillery shells at the same rate as Russia can under embargo.

Look at the cost of the modern fighter jet program and it's barely functioning. Look at the cost PER MISSILE of the systems they sold to Ukraine and Israel. The USA is the quintessential example of corrupt military industry in the world.

I would say that by the very nature of it being nukes it was exceptional. Like, the very definition of exceptional. Yes, the USA often bombs instead of negotiating, that is not exceptional.

Are you saying that using nukes against civilian populations was equivalent to conventional bombing because of "the damage"? What point are you trying to make here?

Wtf are you talking about? It's literally a statement from the Whitehouse. How is Yog being intentionally inflammatory?!

Read the founding fathers! They knew exactly what America the beautiful stood for.

The protection of the opulent minority.

The outset of Vladimir Putin’s full-scale war in Ukraine exposed Russia’s ground forces as incompetently led and beholden to a tyrant in thrall to his own arrogance and neoimperial ambitions. The ensuing stalemate, now well into its third year, has been a strategic calamity for Moscow.

Wat?

What a weird question to ask in response to that comment? What did you mean by it?

[–] freagle@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

Let's fucking goooooooo!

"Building trust" is an abstraction that covers many many activities. The fact that Russia did many things that could have built trust but didn't is completely lost on you, so you have no ability to question WHY trust wasn't built as a result of the actions taken. Because if you DID question why, you would see that Ukraine's transition to a right-wing Euro-centric government entailed it being Russophobic and part of the European project to dominate Russia.

 

Using the web client in Firefox, I cannot seem to expand comments below a certain level. Clicking "3 more comments ->" just spins. Any ideas?

 

This is truly a wild analysis. It's entirely plausible that Black rock owns the longs and Citadel owns the shorts and that they collaborate. But just the circular ownership leading to total dominance of the market by a few hundred people is enough to make this worth reading.

 

This feels like an op to me. The timing is uncanny. If this story develops, I predict some escalation of current conflicts with some advanced weaponry (chemical, biological, nuclear, energy, space-based, etc) and the alien story to be used as cover.

Alternatively, it's a continuation of reactionary mobilization propaganda. Thought?
