Are you fucking serious? You support more money & arms for Israel so it can better carry out its genocide of the Palestinians?
I don't even know what to say to you, that is how fucked up you are.

Re: TIL: Today I Learned... (Join in!)

While describing this to another colleague later on, I concluded with "that guy has really drunk the Donald Trump kool-aid." The (sane) colleague did not know what I meant, and honestly thought there was Donald Trump-brand soft drinks available in the office. Which was funny, even if I am...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread

That statement is so generic it could easily have come from George W Bush twenty years ago, or the Sarah Palin mockup on SNL. https://apnews.com/article/ukraine-israel-gaza-aid-speaker-johnson-9097da3511a7cd9b0e9a7b9ce52141b3 The aid to support Ukraine totals about $61 billion.

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread

Except that's exactly what they're doing you moron, if Russia really gave a fuck about the rules of war they wouldn't be pulling shit like this . They have been resorting to using prisoners, and conscripting captured Ukrainians. And did you even see the state of Bakhmut by the end? It makes Gaza lo...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread

Maybe because despite Russia's insisting on calling it a "special military operation", it's still an invasion and no amount of bullshit is going to change that. People like you who are completely ignorant on the topic need to shut the fuck up. You don't even know why it's called a special...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread

Yeah. The media discourse around the conflict is really the most interesting part of it for me. I would hazard a guess that after two decades of losing in the Middle East, lots of western commentators just want a win for "the good guys." So they brush aside Ukraine's issues, to make it th...

There's what you wish would happen in a better world, and what actually is.

Personally I'd like to hear aerius elaborate on what he thinks Lenin's mistakes that need correcting were. Because it sounds an awful lot like he means not committing more genocide against the Ukrainians sooner. We begin with history, the last 400 years should be good enough. https://www.washington...

I looked into this too, according to Global Firepower the USA has slightly more towed artillery than Ukraine. However, the number for Ukraine here is a few hundred lower than what I've seen elsewhere rounding out their number to about 1600. If the 1600 number is true and the stuff from this site is...
