Reply to comment by mentallyillloner2 in Pakistan mosque blast death toll rises to 92 as country faces 'national security crisis' | CNN by HardworkPanda
It wasn’t the terrorists , that place was a high security area , I would be impressed if those suicidal idiots passed through so many checkpoints with explosives but this one looks like an inside job by the Pakistani military to distract people and get US aid for anti terror activities… screw the damn establishment

Once you found out you can’t live forever and instead whales are filled with toxic forever chemicals, and you’re bored by that, yea, you are a pretty garbage person.

Brazil is a BRICS member. They're not going to oppose Russia militarily. This shouldn't shock anyone. Good on Germany to get their opinion out into the open though.

Reply to comment by bombmk in Ukraine calls for faster weapons supplies as Russia presses eastern offensive by redcccp
Yeah that's a good point. I like the slow boil analogy around the nuclear issue.
I still think that the wearing down of an adversary can't easily be discounted as a motive.

This is Russia, so do they mean Bounty paper towels?
I could see Russia offering their soldiers paper towels as a huge bonus.
I mean, in limited amounts, they wouldn't want them getting used to that kind of thing.

>We gave significant amount of financial aids to Ukraine since day 1 but it seems Ukraine hasn't give any credits to us lol
Some say it may be intentional to avoid complicating SKs relations with Russia. Japan was also excluded.

Reply to China claims Covid wave is ‘coming to an end’ as tourism and factory activity rebound by misana123
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 86%. (I'm a bot)
> China's wave of Covid is "Coming to an end", health officials have claimed, saying there had been no sign of a new surge from the lunar new year holiday period, despite a big increase in travel compared to last year.
> Government figures released on Tuesday showed big rises in tourism and hospitality activity compared to the same time last year.
> Figures from the ministry of transport showed travel in the first 22 days of this year's travel period was 75.8% higher than in 2022, although it was still only around half the number of trips made during the last pre-pandemic lunar new year in 2019.

Liberalism is an economic philosophy that generally supports free trade and all that bullshit. These days the term is rare outside of politics and academia but it's still used in the US.

Reply to comment by lewger in Australia and France announce joint plan to supply Ukraine with artillery shells by TheGuvnor247
I'm French but fair dues to him for responding to calls from Liberals & the opposition to get more jobs in Australia if the budget was projected to increase (he inherited it from Abbott, it's fine to not be happy with it). But budgets always go up.
It's ironic that none of the disputes would've happened without the € - $AU conversion rate - looking back post-Ukraine invasion, losing a deal because the euro was just too strong in 2021 feels hilarious.

There is also a bounty for dying in Ukraine, which is much easier to achieve than destroying a western tank.

>offer a get out of the war free pass.
"Excellent job, comrade. Go home and let the less competent people take over from here. Wait a sec, now that we have inspected the tank, it's not destroyed by our definition. Forget what I said, give back the medal I just gave you and go back to the frontline to try again."

Right, sure, they'll pay bounties. Just like they pay soldiers as promised in their contracts. Just like they pay death benefits. How many times can you pretend to throw the ball before the dog won't fetch anymore?
