Yep, been to transnistria in 2010, the society was heavily russified. Russian military settled the secessionists civil war by supporting the creation of the transnistrian state and Russian troops and propaganda are now a part of that state. Moldova got completely fucked over by loosing their industrial centers and it’s ensueing instability has made Moldovans more suspectable to Russian propaganda. Had the EU stepped up more to help Moldova stabilize the state and democracy there they wouldn’t be so bad off.

I don’t know what depths we’re talking about here,

From the article:

The idea is relatively simple: hollow concrete spheres are installed at a depth of several hundred metres.

saying ‘nobody was close to us in terms of bravery

Yeah tell that to the 13 million dead Sowjet soldiers.

For perspective that is more than the current inhabitants of Belgium or Bolivia.

Adding 14 million dead Soviet citizens - 27 million dead, that’s more people than currently living in Australia.

Its quite odd that Ukranians were being handled differently in the first place.
Its as if they were deemed to have more value than those pesky normal refugees.

Here in Germany during the “refugee crisis” 2015 I noticed a heavy uptick in ticket controls in the public transport, while as with Ukrainians during 20222 the public transports advertised on billboards that Ukrainian refugees can drive for free. Biggest difference between the two groups? The skin color…

I know it is only anecdotal but to me it was noticeable.

Sooo when you use the prompt

Shutdown.exe -r -t 00

You would need the -f since we defined the timeout period as 0. Because:

If the timeout period is greater than 0, the /f parameter is implied.

Not entirely sure if Vance was using the Europe angle as a strawman to voice his disapproval of bombing Yemen knowing that the rest of the administration hates Europe,

Yeah, unfortunately I think that dude is a lot smarter than we all give him credit for. Like Boris Johnson, his perceived idiocy makes him fly under the radar a lot of times, which makes them more dangerous.

Also, to me it feels like it’s more like ‘equal partners in a relationship’. ‘My wife’ or ‘my girlfriend’ often sounds a little possessive.

Slight understatement there.

Honestly - fine with me, tear it all down.

Meanwhile, zero actual evidence for DPRK attacking Ukraine, but I guess that’s not going to stop western smoothbrains from talking about it.

I forgot we live in “what I don’t like is obviously not true” land here, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, for example actual footage of North Korean soldiers arriving in Russian training camps, Putin himself doesn’t even denies it, but anything to lick some boot I guess.

You’re not arguing in good faith, as exemplified by your double standards regarding foreign involvement, so I know that you’re gonna write something about “manipulated footage”, ask for sources you could easily Google yourself and overall try to move the overall framing of the conversation to something else because the exchange of information is not the point for you.

I have neither the strength nor the patience to argue with utterly deranged idiots whose worldview would make Marx roll over in his grave.

From:

Last I checked it was NATO that started launching missiles into Russia escalating the conflict, but do go on champ.

To:

One problem being that Ukraine isn’t a member state. 🤡

So which one is it?

Would you also say that North Korea is attacking Ukraine since it’s North Korean artillery shells being lobbed into Ukraine?
