Considering their idea of peace is the total capitulation of their opponent and systematic erasure of its population, I dont see what tangible benefit inviting them would be.

Russia will simply destabilize anything it can. They tried to get all of Africa, but it turns out they can see through their bullshit like everyone else, so they’ve decided to fuck with a handful of countries instead. These countries, by the way, are often responsible for vast diamond mining operations, with Russia being the number one country for both sourcing and laundering blood diamonds on the planet.
The people organizing this shit are the ones who are becoming African mining oligarchs. It’s essentially the same as Russia’s attempted playbook in Ukraine.
Awesome, hopefully they’ll do it to all the others. Maybe take a few oligarch yachts with them along for the ride to the briny deep.
What do you mean? I can’t think of anything more stable than a grown man burning children’s dolls on the internet after watching a movie based on a toy designed for 6-12 year old girls.
It worked against the Nazis. It worked against Americans in Vietnam. What exact scenario are you imagining where insurgency and sabotage doesn’t work against an occupying military?
Exactly. Peaceful protest only works against a civilized opponent.
Revolution doesn’t have to occur with polite protesting. When the resistance was happening in France it was done by targeting critical Nazi infrastructure and personnel.
It’s never easy, but if you are Russian and you value freedom, then you’re at war with your government, and currently your government has you in a choke hold. Your only option is to gouge out your opponents eye, even though you might die trying, because you’re never getting out of the choke hold without trying.
Watch Niger descend into total degeneracy sponsored by Russian meddling. Way to fuck yourselves and your entire country over for years to come.
This guy can’t seem to comprehend that the west is approaching his whole thing as though it’s a toddler trying to fight a grown man. The moment they decide the joke is over then Russia becomes a parking lot. This isn’t like when Afghanistan or even Iraq were invaded and people felt bad about it and protested in massive demonstrations. This will be a war where people will be out for blood.
It that’s what this wannabe gangster goofball wants, then he can keep poking and see what happens I guess. No shortage of dictators who learn a brutal lesson in history.
The freedom of democratic expression ends where intolerence and policies based on hatred begin. You can’t argue for democratic freedom when it comes to parties that are literally against equal democratic freedom.
Also in this thread, a bunch of regressives that don’t have any regard for human rights.
“Somebody told me to do it, so I obeyed.”
If anyone was wondering how totalitarian come to power, this is how.
Unilever has been under pressure to pull out of Russia, but says the situation is “not straightforward”.
Yes, what makes it complicated is that Hein Schumacher, CEO of Unilever, would get a smaller bonus if he didn’t support an attempted genocide. Just to repeat that for SEO purposes, Hein Schumacher and the board of Unilever support a genocide in Ukraine.
Lol, Russian “journalist.” Must be the same ones not reporting on the war crimes Russians are committing.
Rot in hell, shitbag.
Its fucking disgusting. La Pen, Brothers of Italy, Vox and PiS are all coming together like some fucked up fascist coalition. They need to all be systematically dismantled.
Good. I used to think she was one of the sane pop idols, but it turns out she’s just the same old piece of shit as the majority of them. I hope they make an example out of her waka waka her ass to white collar prison in cuffs.
Wow, thanks for doing this. Is there a reason I can’t upvote on kbin? Did they defederate from lemmy.world or something?

They have it in a lot of other countries in Europe too. Its fucking disgusting and constantly abused by conservatives. You also see it being used against people who insult the church in certain countries.
Tell us all about it then, colonel
