The difference between what Russian tech is “supposed” to do and what it actually does has been, historically speaking, significant. I’ll believe this if they manage to credibly get one single munition past a Patriot emplacement or past Aegis. Until then it’s all talk.

The entire GOP would be on site the next day after his interment to spring him loose and take turns sucking him off.

Swang that thang brother, be proud of the progress. It’s not about the meat, it’s about the spirit that drives it.

Plenty of people knew who she was before. You didn’t, because you don’t pay attention to international human rights struggles.

These guys have like five political parties duking it out, I wish this is what America had to look forward to. It would be a step up from two-party FPTP.

Trans floridians please evacuate the storm, the rest of em can stay there

Yes it does, when the war you’re opposing is one intended to bring consequences to a dictator. Unopposed dictators continue to dictate and empower other dictators. You don’t stop a bully by turning the other cheek. That just gets you punched in both sides of the face. You stop a bully by bringing them consequences to their actions. When there are no consequences, the actions continue.

Brought to us by the same people that claimed Russia was fighting with WWII shovels, end of war is near, sanctions will kill the Russian economy, etc.

Hence why they’re now pressing students and immigrants into emergency armed service. Because they’re getting their asses beat. This all checks out. A stable country with a well functioning modern military doesn’t extend a 3 day operation into 3 years, lose half a million troops, and then press-gang their students into the draft. These are signs of failure.

If that was his plan he should have sent them in first before he lost 470,000 registered soldiers. This is a desperation move, and if not that, then it is one of absolutely colossal foolishness. Neither is a good look for Putin.

If every time someone is born, they die, then wouldn’t that mean that life is inherently worthless?

Sure, if you consider the complete destruction of an entire ethnic group of people to be “peace”. Can’t fight if they’re all dead. But if you truly do think that way, you are the problem and I recommend a long walk off a short pier.

That’s exactly how you guarantee a permanent guerilla terrorist force.

Us Americans are pretty dumb, unfortunately. I like to think I’m not, and even so really the only reason I clicked into the comments here was to clarify if that meant Georgia the country or Georgia the state because I could absolutely see Georgia the American state trying to run this. I’d expect it more out of Florida but shit’s all fucked up everywhere these days. I appreciated that clarifying comment.

I would think that if shit ever seriously hit the fan for them he would suddenly find a lot less allies in his cabinet than he thought.

But that is very much an uninformed armchair opinion.

Either that or just a test run to see how easy it is to sneak shit in on balloons. Apparently it worked.

“Have a nive day”

Not nice, nive, as in I hope your day is full of knives

This statement by itself restores a ton of my faith in you. I have no weight to throw around here and ultimately my opinion is more or less meaningless, but in my meaningless opinion, if an actual effort is made to improve on this then I’m happy to have you stay. A simple apology, explanation and promise is more than I’ve gotten out of 99% of all other moderators I’ve ever interacted with.

I do not wish for the death of the Russian people. I wish for the removal, by any means necessary, of their authoritarian government who is seeking to expand their control into previously peaceful and unaligned nations.

It isn’t just “bomb all the ruskies and call it a day”, the majority of the Russian populace is a victim here as much as anyone else. I wish for a better life for them and for us all. But a few eggs will need to break to make that omelette.

Which would be the most elaborate suicide of the 21st century. If Putin drops a nuke somewhere the remaining lifespan of himself and his nation will be measured in minutes, as all of NATO and the west no longer have a potential worst option to avoid. At this point we just have to hope he understands that. I hope nobody loses a city because of it.

More like, you know damn well that Jim keeps passing code reviews without reading a line in them, he’s been talked to, still does it, and you need something actionable to prove it so that you can get someone’s ass in his chair who does their job.
