Ending it quietly is cowardly and unethical.

Hopefully they solve their relationship issues.

Going with “Measure of a Man” S02E09.

Wow, a coherent analysis.

It’s worth reiterating just how outnumbered Russian forces were in 2022, with the Ukrainians possessing around a 4 to 1 advantage in manpower in theatre, and both sides using very similar equipment. I was shocked when Russia invaded. The western media endlessly repeated that the Russians had 150,000 troops on the border, and my thoughts were “nothing will happen until that at least doubles”.

Winter is closing in now. Ukraine once again has a few months of relative stability to “recruit” and theorize on how to organize and equip a new new new model army for the third year running. This time, there isn’t much to base their forces around. Even MRAP’s are getting increasing scarce. This time, they might accept that their their forces have some operational limitations imposed on them by equipment deficiencies. Right now I think Ukraine is the weakest it has been, but, next year we’ll likely finally see increases production and provision of NATO equipment to Ukraine.

It’s grim, and it’s a long way from over for everyone involved.

He says a lot of stupid stuff, but surely this would be playing right into Hezbollahs hands?

Perhaps this is just to quiet down the displaced northern settlers for a while.

More like 50x larger. and better armed.

There’s a couple of other sus things with the video too - entity F-15’s are painted in yellows and greens to match the occupied soil of Palestine. The drone (which looks like an american type) is also a relatively low temperature prop engine - in the video, it looks like the sun is behind the drone from the perspective of the jet, so it would be difficult for the IR missile seeker to actually lock onto the target because the sun is far tastier infrared source than a militarized leafblower.

This is Arma 3 or DCS footage. Notice that the smoke sprites are circular and fade out after a set time - real smoke doesn’t disperse like that.

The reasoning for Putin, specifically, being a supposed war criminal has to so with orphaned children in Mariupol being inducted into Russian care and fostering. Technically, this does qualify as genocide under the geneva conventions, quite explicitly.

However. Considering the history, and special hatred the Ukrainian nazi paramilitary groups had for the Russian populace of Mariupol, it’s not surprising Russia wasn’t just going to hand orphaned kids back to their parents tormentors.

Of course, any one who has been watching these western captured international legal institutions over the last few years know what they are for: moral othering of anyone suffering from western imperialism, not impartial justice.

What if providing people with unfiltered truth makes them come away with the wrong, non-state sanctioned opinions? We simply must censor freedom of information requests about ukrainian nazi immigrants, and censor documentaries that may contain dangerous slivers of nuance. To fail to do this would put our free thinking, free societies at risk.

In all seriousness – we are not safe. If censorship fails and they lose the ability to paint us as cranks, they’ll have to rapidly pivot to treating us like imprisonable enemy agents. Obviously, this already happened in some of the baltic countries, and to a degree in germany.

I understand that conflict might not be worth it at this time, but I surely hope Tehran isn’t counting on the US to stick to any agreements.

This conduct reaffirms the respect for the law that has prevailed in the actions of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in the international community.

This fake government in exile and their westoid backers have no regard for law or democracy.

The Venezuelan government really isn’t afraid of these Guaidó plays. That or they are stupid.

My thoughts exactly.

Interviewer for state-owned canadian broadcasting interrogates an orc spy with intrinsic duplicitous nature after they suggest that orcs might actually be conscious humans with their own motivations. Interviewer corrects the orc spy and reminds them that there is only one permitted and state approved version of events.

Pjotr Sauer, the hero that interrogated this filthy orc spy, worked previously for “The Moscow Times”, which is forbidden from operating in Russia due to “foreign agent laws”, after he completed his degree in Russian and Asiatic Horde Studies.

Truly a man without an agenda or masters.

If you think that’s bad, just read about how they treated their Helot slaves.

Mandatory ritualistic beating and shaming, and a yearly actual purge to keep them in line.

Spartans are about the most pathetic culture to have ever existed.

She did get to ride through the easiest times - the peak imperial moment.

That’s a lot of words to say “I should have more ways to ego trip while moderating.”

What about the post you linked is uncivil?

Are you a person of land?

All you’re asking for is to replace clear cut censorship with more subtle, manipulative, petty ego tripping censorship.

I’m sorry that you shared your experience with someone on the internet and they shared theirs back with you. If you’d like to avoid future upsets, there’s already an in built solution in the form of logging out.

There’s never been one of these “Hexbear is mentally ill because they disagree with me” threads that hasn’t been result of someone coming here and getting banned after posting in bad faith. – Surprisingly, it seems that the rest of the fediverse is increasingly aware of that.
