Just go through and count the usage of kkkanadians.

The horror!

What is it you think vapes emit?

The fact that ukrainians are still fighting to this day shows they want to be independent.

This is a post about conscription, where people who do not want to fight are forced to

It doesn’t matter who did what before

this didn’t start on February 22, 2022, but in 2014

History starts and stops exactly when it best suits my argument

“All my takes are so perfect no one but a troll could disagree with me”

Go “do your own research” then lmao

You reject the overwhelming scientific consensus that climate change is caused by humans, then you want to pull debatelord shit about the history of climate science forecasts. Fuck off.

claims climate change isn’t caused by humans

links to article about climate change being caused by humans

I’m owned

You’re talking nonsense. Yes, living people are currently causing climate change. Those most responsible have names and addresses.

The world should have burned down to the groun… to nothingness 10 times over according to all the specialists/scientists.

This is just embarrassingly ignorant. The climate is deteriorating faster than scientists predicted, not slower.

Your answer to OP’s question is denial and a refusal to actually investigate the situation.

It’s an illusion your mind produced.

Lmao climate change isn’t an illusion, what are you talking about

Changes to climate are going to happen naturally

We’re not talking about natural climate changes, we’re talking about climate change caused by human actions.

“You can’t yet see the train you know is barreling down the tracks towards you… I think you have better things to think and worry about”

Optimizing for the smallest amount of money that will stave off a complete collapse of the Ukranian military; great strategy, no notes

He should run on that haha

At the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the US and its allies immediately froze $300 billion worth of Russian overseas assets, most of which is in the EU nations, with about $5 billion in the US. As the war continues, these funds have not been used.

Interesting that the vast majority of frozen assets are in the EU, not the U.S. Could be a factor in any sort of split between the two.

Unlike the Soviet Union, Russia has a dynamic capitalist economy

Guarantee the person who wrote this has used the phrase “gas station with nukes” at some point

The physical intrusion, conducted with “counterparts from the national competition authorities of the Member States,” however, is just “a preliminary investigative step,” Brussels says, and “that the Commission carries out such inspections does not mean that the company in question has indeed received distortive foreign subsidies, nor does it prejudge the outcome of the investigation.”

Even if you think there’s something real here, a raid is pretty heavy handed for an investigation in its early stages. You usually wait until you have basically everything you need, then do the raid, because if you don’t find what you’re looking for you’ve let the target know what you’re doing. In the U.S. you’d need a warrant for this sort of thing, which again means you’re beyond the “preliminary” stages.

the debate as to whether it is genocide in the legal sense distracts from the […] war against the civilian population in the Gaza Strip. Instead, the key point is that the warfare is “unacceptable”

It’s easy to get sidetracked arguing semantics and definitions. This is a great point: call it whatever you want, it’s unacceptable.

who the hell brought Palestine into this, this whataboutism is at the level of Republicans

do you support the invasion of Iraq for the explicit purpose of regime change

Whataboutism: OK when libs do it, dishonest as all hell for anyone else!

“Whataboutism” is an utterly nonsensical concept in international relations. Not only is it reasonable to compare like situations and expect similar opinions on similar issues, but that exact analysis is one of the principle sources of (what passes for) international law. If I say something is good when my country does it but bad when another country does it, I’m not trying to uphold any rules, I’m just cheerleading my country, why should I be taken seriously?

Regarding the referendum

It’s fine to be skeptical of referendums, but that does not extend to the western line of “obviously these were sham votes.” A vote is not a sham simply because it happened in a country you don’t like; you need some actual evidence.

And I would guess that Russian intervention should be limited to either sanctions or limited intervention in the Donbass region, not a whole invasion of Ukraine.

Russia tried the diplomatic route for most of a decade. It didn’t work, and as Angela Merkel admitted after the war started, it didn’t work in large part becsuse the west never intended to hold Ukraine to it.

A limited intervention is how this started, too – Russia and Ukraine had a ceasefire negotiated something like a month or two into this, but Boris Johnson and the west spiked it. Russia also appears to be content to sit in the pro-Russia eastern regions and slowly grind away at Ukraine’s ability to fight. They’re not making some all-out push to Kiev.

a dictator-for-life led world order

Ah yes, the only other option

The only thing eroding is the veneer that anyone in the imperial core gives a shit about assassinations. We’re less able to credibly hand wring than ever before, but it was always only hand wringing.
