Obviously. The point the person was making was to say that even if we buy into the bullshit narrative that this was consensual, it still doesn’t make sense. They didn’t use incorrect terms to skirt around it, they were making a specific point about their claims.
Ukraine’s constitution forbids an election during a state of emergency. This isn’t him overriding precedent, this is codified into law.
At risk of misreading, I think they might be parodying the usual IDF line. The ‘runs into shrapnel’ bit is a little over the top.
Good to know! I’ll have to go back to it. I was really enjoying it, but I just had some annoying bugs that turned me off.
I haven’t played it in a couple months, but I remember the quality and polish taking a serious nose dive as you got deeper into the game. Is that still the case?
Yeah that’s a perverse incentive if I’ve ever heard one
This might be the funniest thing I’ve ever read. This shit has me in tears lmao
Bang on. You don’t make someone your bodyguard without trusting them, so this guy is a good pick from the perspective of maintaining power as an autocrat.
That’s always been my view. It takes a unique kind of shit person to A) squeeze that much money out of everyone below you and B) hoard the wealth rather than give it away even when you have so much more than you will ever need.
Nonono. You see, they’re not bullies, they’re innovators guys! Go fast and break things, am I right?
Heartbreaking. My silicone dildo gained sentience and now supports Trump 😔
Idk, my first reading on the title’s quote was as being a backhanded compliment directed at Biden, but that might just be because I always expect Trump to be a spiteful fuck
Based. Plus, if you pick the right woods, the wildlife will even take care of cleanup!
I think it’s just a joke tbh
Hilarious for them to act like the Su-57 (Russia’s fifth gen option) is truly comparable to ether F-35 or China’s J-20. To my understanding, the Su-57 is highly optimized for dexterity and maneuverability in dogfighting, but that doesn’t mean shit when you’re dealing with the stealth, sensor, and range capabilities of an F-35 or J-20. It’s for this reason that some have referred to the Su-57 as a ‘4.5th gen’ fighter, as it lacks several of the stealth and sensor integration capabilities of its fifth gen peers.
Anyways, I doubt that the US is really worried about Russia’s offering here, but I’d bet they are very worried about China’s.
Incredible. They’re essentially asking Ukraine to help them give money to the guys they’re fighting a war against and then getting mad and pouty when Ukraine says no.
This isn’t blackmail, it’s just common fucking sense while you’re at war. I feel for the people affected by this, but the leadership in Budapest and Bratislava can go pound sand.
Back to back to back garbage takes lmao. Spare us your sanctimonious ‘improving things is unworthy of praise because they didn’t immediately make it perfect’ line of reasoning. It serves only to cause inaction and infighting. I’d much rather some improvement rather than no improvement.
By the way, don’t act like the Ukrainians don’t have a right to defend themselves, and don’t act like this isn’t an existential conflict for them. If you’re so worried about condemning imperialism, then maybe you should take a look at what Russia’s revanchist land grab here would be called, and then consider if maybe we should support the little guy so that they don’t get bowled over by an imperialist power looking to take back the glory days.
Anyways, nice bait.
