Yeah they fucked around and found out. These are adult people, let them deal with the consequences of their actions.

Yeah i was unsure in the moment tbh. Swish swipe swap sweep swoop

Glad they arent trying to swipe it under the rug and went with the school name change.

Its horrible that this is a realistic scenario. I hope the claims are bogus, but even if not, the timing is 100% calculated. Its not a secret, that in the legal world people love to sit on information like this until it is beneficial (or even profitable if sufficiently corrupt) to release it.

Is this NSFW worthy? I guess beer is 18+ lol

You can implement exit taxes. I think some countries have that already. If you are a billionare, you will have to give up a fixed percentage of your wealth if you move.

Poor russians, now they have to deal with the garbage cars produced in the US.

They are already massively invading the West Bank right now. It will be done by the end of next years unless something changes.

Why would drone operators be unarmed tho? They should at least be carrying handguns.

Still a warcrime ofc if they were disarmed and pows at time of execution.

Bold of you to assume that they have a lower cut off at 18

They are worlds apart yes. Russia actually has an amazing academia network that is suffering greatly from Putins politics. Most recently seen by hundreds of academics having to stop their collaboration with CERN because of the war. Compared to NK, Russia is just a normal country with lots of IT and science nerds.

However if you look at the US and their rural MAGA population, it shows that there can just be a massive rift within the population. And thats what you have in Russia too i would assume.

Yeah because they dont want their families to go to reeducation camps, so they stay silent.

These are not civilians, they are clearly armed and usually trained in combat. They are active military combatants and they should be called that. Replacing “settlers” with “militias” seems like a good start.

And how does that have anything to do with the current political siuation mr troll? People declaring independence is a thing that has been happening everywhere since forever. You think the US should be taken back by the British?

Eh i wouldnt worry about it too much. That number would change very quickly if it came to an actual situation.

Yeah good point. When things arent easily sorted into “good” and “bad” then getting people to put together an organized resistance is much much harder.

I think generally most people are willing to defend their home against foreign invaders if it is at all realistic/possible. I have heard people say about refugees “Why dont they defend their homes, then they wouldnt have to flee”. But this obviously only makes sense if there is a chance of winning. When your enemies are overwhelmingly more powerful and you have no allies, then what is the point in dying for nothing.

With Taiwan they know that they have a decent military and worldwide support. So this makes sense to me.

I mean historically it was founded on the basis of a genocide, so from that point of view sure.

There are honestly much worse groups he could be selling weapons to yeah.

Im sorry to tell you, but the powers (rich people) that be will never allow someone to be US president that doesnt support Israel. It is good to call them out for their bullshit, but you need to accept that you either have to throw away your vote, or vote for the (substantially) lesser evil.
