The Snark Urge

I just don’t see how that translates to the game board as it stands without a world war ensuing. There are enough nuclear powers in the world that someone is popping off before we get there.

So you’re imagining a stable power vacuum as the greatest superpower in history willfully shrinks due to the leadership of a foreign asset?

Respectfully, why?

WWIII was already about to happen, now the spinning plates are being handed to the closest thing we’ve got to the antichrist. Sorry for sounding bothered

Teenage years are stressful, there’s plenty to hope for that it’ll pass. Look for solid page turners tuned to her interests and drop a copy at the right moment later on.

Didn’t Zelenskyy say they could rebuild their nukes in a couple of weeks if this happened?

So it evaporates unburned? That might be worse than burning it, given methane is a greenhouse gas.

It is de facto already the case, thanks to bad campaign finance laws.

“He shook hands with him [Putin]. He smiled. He was asked to come to promote the BRICS summit even more. He was used by them, and he seemed happy to be used,” the official told POLITICO on condition of anonymity to be able to discuss the sensitive matter.

Saved for when I get my home server back up and running. This sounds way better than keeping everything on an external SSD.

I’m a fucking albatross, I know… Or whatever that sailor’s curse bird is I forget. A crested wank.

My advice is to be less like me

It seems to be working for other people

Just got into using Syncthing for my home network, was thinking I should add it to my phone. Makes sense it dies the instant I consider it

Well thank fuck

Ukraine is about to build nukes while Russia borrows warm bodies from rogue nations. This farce has no ground floor, it just keeps collapsing further down

Not even living in the country and I still managed it. Minimal fuss.

Well that’s hardly fair, we’ve only got volunteers we could send there.

Goddamn it, nothing I can say about this is as funny as the fact that it’s really happening

That’s the tragedy. China’s development of chip manufacturing is in preparation for the ensuing sanctions and ultimate destruction of Taiwanese output. Hence chip makers are also diversifying into other areas.

It’s not just anti-ROC ideology though, it’s a larger attack on the international rules-based order. The reason China props up Russian aggression is because they’re a useful drain on western defensive alliances, at least until their dependence on China vassalizes Russia completely. They don’t necessarily need Russia to win, they need them to keep the world’s defense production output spent elsewhere long enough for them to make their play.

They’re bad for each other, but they love having a mutual enabler.

The drone situation in any assault on Taiwan would be a sight to behold. Truly, literally hellish.

I hope it is not attempted.

Great job on the violence. This will surely put an end to the endless cycle of violence. 👍
