No, but 100 dead troops is enough to grandstand about to get enough outrage to justify an all-out war in the region.

Just like he said last time.

But also, cops like having an excuse to violently punish their comrades. So they’re happy with whoever gave them that excuse, billionaire or not.

Not trying to push you into doing anything you aren’t comfortable with, but a lot of people could really benefit from having a real source get info on this from. I know it’s not your responsibility to educate us, nor are your opinions necessarily representative of everybody in Palestine, but most people just believe whatever they see on mainstream media. And generally, that means bullshit like fox news way more than Al Jazeera or BBC or NPR or whoever has the least biased news these days.

If nothing else, please keep educating your friends and anybody else in personal circles. If enough people do that, the info will hopefully trickle out to enough of the rest of us to generate outrage in order to influence real change in terms of support for Palestine. Cheers.

Maybe they should’ve looked into that tech instead of obsessing over hydrogen cell tech…

Because any country fighting a war on defense against aggressors/invaders knows that the path to winning is to hold strong, wait out the clock, and drain resources from the enemy. Something as essential as that will cause urgency to redirect resources and personnel to replace/repair and then better defend it so that it doesn’t just immediately happen again. This makes defense easier because there’s less of an offense while that’s happening. This also can cause internal loss of support since Russian citizens can see the costs of this going up. They will know people who were sent to die on the front lines. They will see taxes go up and availability of goods go down. Once Russian citizens start to question and criticize the campaign, there could be a snowball effect that ends with Putin and his cronies having to make a choice between stopping the invasion or losing power. I don’t think Putin will ever stop, so the real choice will be desperate attacks (which could include nukes, triggering article 5 and effectively ending Russia) or a coup. Putin has checkmated himself whether he is aware of it yet or not. His best case scenario at this point is dying of natural causes in office and leaving that hard decision to his successor who will probably back down and be a pariah for it, saving Russia in the process.

Why aren’t you buying our planes?

Umm, because planes are supposed to fly and remain intact?

:o

Employees are just numbers to them.

But unlike other numbers, those numbers must go down.

Why even bother with the premise of whether it’s a valid military target or not? Russian attacks don’t discriminate based on that. Equal retaliation would mean that Ukraine could invade Russian territory and attack civilians in Russian cities, but they don’t because Ukraine is a nation of decent folk.

That’s not even close to what I said. I was saying that we don’t dare stand up to anybody who has nuclear weapons, meaning Israel and Russia. We don’t even dare give (conventional) weapons to Ukraine to take back what Russia stole from them solely because Russia has nukes. We will bully any other country as much as we want because they don’t have nukes though.

Or what? Israel ain’t stopping just because somebody said so. Slap them with real consequences.

You’re right and I hate it. Bullies will fuck with smaller kids all school year, but not the kid who has a gun at home. My country is just a nepo baby rich kid bully on the world stage.

We’re cool with Israel using our weaponry to do a genocide but we’re on the fence about whether Ukraine can use our weaponry to take back the land that Russia invaded and stole?

We really fucked up when we decided to form societies larger than tribes, huh? We could’ve basically just had community gardens and leisure, and instead we chose this. If I were an alien, I would consider Earth a flyover shithole not worth visiting.

As seen on TV, until used on the press.

9 out of 10 fascists choose Lockheed Martin to cleanse their regions of targeted scapegoats and the media.

Not the person you’re asking, but vote for better people in local elections and primaries. The time to choose a better leader for this issue was every election before this one. Vote for better people now to solve tomorrow’s problems. Democracy is a constant battle for the future.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Devil’s advocate moment. I rode a motorcycle for many years. For whatever reason, people just tend to not see things smaller than a mid size sedan. People would pull out in front of me or change lanes into me so often that I just started to assume that people were trying to hit me, so I drove with what in a car was my “what if” scenario as my default expectation.

Combine that with whatever happened in his day beforehand and also his difficulties managing emotions and communication all with a stranger who at best doesn’t know what his day or lifestyle is like, at worst is somebody who doesn’t care and is wholly incapable of admitting fault, and I can see how he could find himself in sticky situations that he didn’t or couldn’t help, yet wasn’t necessarily the instigator.

But it’s also possible that he’s spiting other drivers for unknown reasons. Life is hard on everybody these days and maybe he’s taking it out in an unhealthy way. Idk haha.

Have you explained the “why” behind you wanting him to park it in the back? Without the context of it being potentially dangerous for both of you and the possible theft, it might be inferred as you just trying to take control of him, his stuff, and his routines. If there’s a way to make an area in the back a nice spot that is “his space” then he will probably be much more receptive. Everybody is different though so idk. Try open ended questions about what he wants and how he wants to do things. Bring up your concerns and see if you can brainstorm as a team for how you both can make adjustments to get a win for the both of you. Make it clear that you’re his partner that’s looking out for you both, not his adversary.

Hey!

Aw who am I kidding, I know my country’s bloodstained history despite my public education. I wish I could say it was in our past and that we’re better now, but we’re literally funding this exact genocide. 🫠
