Re: Ukraine reacts to fears of Russian invasion as troops build up at the border
You dodubled down on the Russian propaganda when it was pointed out, so the only response you are entitled to is a hearty fuck you, you shitlicking goat-molester. I've cut off family for being Russian shills and the only reason my uncle doesn't have a severely broken nose and missing teeth is I'd lo...

Re: Ukraine reacts to fears of Russian invasion as troops build up at the border
Elfdart, since you've decided to turn into a full Russian shill who is parroting the Kremlin propaganda line to the hilt, I have five, sincerely heartfelt words for you: Go die in a fire.
That's all the response you're going to get.

Re: Ukraine reacts to fears of Russian invasion as troops build up at the border
The Azov regiment is not what it was 8 years ago. It started out as a unit mainly composed of neonazis, but after the fighting in Donbass, was folded into the Ukranian military and now has a much more varied membership. Besides, when the aggressor of an unjustified war has publicly put out a documen...

Re: Ukraine reacts to fears of Russian invasion as troops build up at the border
That doesn't even get to the colonels, majors and lower level officers who lead, because the Russian military does not have a western style NCO system. They have well and truly screwed the pooch.

Re: Ukraine reacts to fears of Russian invasion as troops build up at the border
According to some reports, the Belarussian military is on the edge of mutiny, so they are likely even less motivated than the Russians. As far as existential threats, if Putin uses nukes, Russia will cease to exist as a major global power. Retaliatory nuclear response will take care of that, and onc...

If the Democrats get the Senate and the presidency both, what they should do is go full nuclear and eliminate the filibuster in Senate, increase the size of SCOTUS to 13 justices and grant statehood to both Washington DC and Puerto Rico. There is absolutely zero incentive to give a shit about what R...

Sauli Niinistö Elected for Second Term as President of Finland
So, we had a presidential election today (early voting was from 17th to 21st). At 63.8% of votes counted, Sauli Niinistö holds the lead at 72.2%, with the second place challenger at 12.2% or thereabouts. It's all done and over with, the rest of the vote count is a formality, since the big cities alw...

Re: Did Microsoft break Youtube again?
Firefox profile corruption can also result in Youtube not working. In which case the solution is to refresh the profile (i.e. reset it). I had that happen to me. Just as well, since I switched to FF57+ at that point so the refresh cleared a massive amount of legacy crud away.
