Exactly. This is why we should support nothing other than Russians leaving all of Ukraine. Including Crimea.

I don't think Brexit was awful, and I'm not certain history books will paint it as a disaster. Currently it's seen as awful because of economic impact and because of the desire to have a strong Europe to oppose Russia, along with the insinuation that Russia was trying to engineer the breakup of Europe. However, a United States of Europe would also have been a bad thing. Unions, federations, and so on are tricky because minimal collaboration between equals is ideal and maximal central government is what tends to emerge. I know it seems irrelevant in the current climate, post-covid and with Russia rampaging around, but Brexit had an overlooked role as a backlash against that.
(It's a valid role if you're troubled by giant octopus-like central governments, I mean. Not everybody is, and I know this is an unpopular opinion, as will now be redundantly demonstrated by downvotes. It is however an aspect of the picture.)

Die Linke and AfD are as never united together at sucking putin's dick. I wish they cared about Germany as much as dictator's well-being.

If that land was so important to the “Palestinians” maybe the 7 countries who invaded Israel 4 times to eradicate Jews should have fought a little harder?
You don’t get to lose a fight you started then cry for sympathy. You especially don’t get to do it 4 times. Palestinians are professional victims.

Reply to comment by sudo_rm-rf in Moldova warns of Russian psy-ops as tensions rise by R1ckCrypto
I’m thinking mostly useful idiot. She is so set on being contrarian to anything someone left of her would do that she ends up trying to destroy her own country. I don’t see how calling for secession is allowable. She should be removed from any committees at least and removed from congress. She took an oath to defend the constitution and calling for this is the exact opposite

I'd be happier if it was execute or imprisonment. These Russian terrorists, supported by their own government, have been killing innocent civilians in targeted assassinations for years now. It will hardly dent their operation to just send them home, wtf treason is this.

Actually yes.
Their economy is not an independent one at all, they heavily rely on trade, specifically trade with America and with their economy already receding this would be stupid for them to do.

Every proposal for “peace” thus far amounts to just giving Putin what he wants. There is no mention of guarantees against future aggression, or of any kind of compensation to the Ukrainians.

I'm in Vietnam.
Sanitary conditions aren't the best. But I love it here.
I just came back from Thailand, and it's just about the same in Phuket.
To be clear: these are street food places that I go to. It's common practice to take a napkin and wipe your chopsticks and spoons as well as cups and bowls before eating.

Im interested why you put the one source, Wikitionary, the tried and tested! as the only example above all others.
But as you so eloquently put it, because it doesn't validate your point, "Whatever" you will twist it any which way to make you right.

Exactly. Anything less is condoning war crimes and greenlighting Putin to step back resupply and then attack Moldova.

Ptsd is a price that has to be paid for their continued existence. Russia seeks to exterminate the people of Ukraine. The choice is to be tortured to death or to fight. Death deformity and PTSD are all possible but preferred to the to the fate of heros of Bucha Irpin and many other places in occupied Ukraine.
