Ya, I was about to ask

It’s kinda funny, though. Just journalists doing their routine job of reporting the RAF doing their routine job about the VVS doing their routine job.

Yeah, turns out it’s kinda hard to dodge the draft for a war you hate when all the countries that allegedly oppose it closed their borders to you.

Back when Russia invaded Ukraine, they issued a statement about how they’re saddened that Europe has descended into violence and are calling for the region to give peace a chance. It was a solid troll.

Yes, but the point stands: Lenin wasn’t grown in a vat in Berlin, he was only ever in Vienna because being in St. Petersburg would get him arrested. There are American political factions favored by certain foreign nations, but they are, at the end of the day, American political factions. And I frankly find it deeply depressing hilarious that the current state of the discourse seems to agree that foreigners are destroying the country, but can’t agree over which foreigners exactly. Talk about Overton loopholes.

I have to say, “The evil foreigners are to blame for us becoming fascist” is an onion-level take.

Yeah, the first time the press core deigned to call him “presidential” was when he launched rockets at Syria. The second time was when he assassinated Suleimani.

Through Beijing, in fact.

I’m actually shocked

I’m not. Ever since the war, every single closet xenophobe of the west has been taking full advantage of finally having an acceptable group of subhumans to hate. If any of this surprises you, you haven’t been paying attention.

Frankly that sounds like “OK, I did install a camera in your bedroom, but it’s not like it’s on or anything!”

Case in point: Yitzhak Rabin.

Exactly! Not doing something to stop a problem is not the same as causing it. Also, if you don’t vote for Harris you’re voting for Trump.

I’m sorry, “sympathy for enemy combatant” is a banable offence?

Let me guess, it’s not “boots on the ground”.because they’re wearing sneakers?

If it did, the heater wouldn’t look like this.

I remember a homeless guy who attempted a terror attack by stabbing people in a convenience store, where the FBI came up with the attack, convinced him to do it, bought him a knife, and gave him a lift to the store.

IIRC, most fissile fuel, worldwide, is from Russia. I know most of France’s is.

My truck and a random tree are on a path toward a catastrophic crash.

We condemn the tree’s refusal to move.

Rogue from whom? Ireland? Because they don’t seem to be nearly as isolated as anyone else would be for doing what they are.

lemmy reading comprehension strikes again
