She is a useful idiot who betrays get country

The effort your putting into twisting this into your own version of events is astounding. For example: the US govt came out publicly and stated (I paraphrase) that although they don’t want to lose anyone to this war, they won’t charge or stop anyone from going to help and they understand if anyone feels the need to do so. They even mentioned that if captured, there may be real problems with negotiating a release and you’ll likely be killed. I’m a former American combat soldier. There are hundreds of former US combat soldiers who paid to travel to Ukraine out of their own pockets, landed and were on the front lines often the same day of arrival. That’s how badly needed an experienced highly trained war fighter is needed there where you have 70 year old men engaging. You guys sound like idiots pretending that it’s just lawless chaos that preceded this, when it’s pure moral obligation and love for fellow fkn man. Pray you never live someplace that asks for or needs that.

The only path to peace is for Russia to withdraw to internationally recognized 1991 borders.

If other nations think they can diplomatically talk Putin into withdrawing, great. But if these people think they can command Ukraine to surrender, they need to sit down and shut up.

Boris is giving a broken clock a run for it's money!

Wow, they’re not skirting the law or allowing chaos to ferment on the streets. They specifically and VERY decisively have waived the law in this case for the sheer fact that it’s not a case in which the spirit of the law exists to begin with. They’re not looking the other way, they (we) all feel their is a moral obligation to help.

That’s what’s so fucking silly and convoluted about all of this - if Russia were being attacked by some random country unprovoked, WE WOULD HELP RUSSIA. There would be aid gushing in much the same way it is today for Ukraine.

Before the soviets and Stalin were shown to be liars, we had the lend lease act with them that sent over 11 billion worth of aid.

400,000 jeeps & trucks 14,000 airplanes 8,000 tractors 13,000 tanks 1.5 million blankets 15 million pairs of army boots 107,000 tons of cotton 2.7 million tons of petrol products 4.5 million tons of food

Destroyed Russian tank that is.

Why is this news? Of course they do. They're fighting for their lives and dying. War isn't fun to live through.

I mean the war effects my mental health too and I'm not even part of it. War is devastating.

The argument is that those laws also exist in countries that have allowed soldiers to volunteer in Ukraine without legal repercussions. If Switzerland is the only country choosing to prosecute soldiers who volunteer in Ukraine, then it's as likely there's some conflict of interest involved as it is that Switzerland is more committed to rule of law than its European peers.

Wtf are you talking about....

You think I.... a 47yr old British person with a BBC accent you wouldn't belive, someone who actually had Latin lessons in school..... need a reddit TIL to learn the meaning of the word decimate.

Sigh.... dei gratia sum quod sum eh!

We also know what well regulated means. We have a dictionary over here.

That's not really how decimate is used in modern language, but go off though.

When you go to the doctor for an appendectomy you'd better hope some cunt hasn't been using it as a slang term for castration...

Also.. literally cannot mean exactly the opposite of figuratively which is how it gets commonly used.... thats not changing the meaning, its getting it fucking wrong

2+2 = Geoff hurst in the 1966 world cup kinda wrong.

Words HAVE to have a defined meaning or you just end up at green wallaby .

Get just the first thing that will still!

In modern usage it has a different meaning. I wonder if you subscribe to this same thought for the phrase "well-regulated."

Also let's not act like you aren't saying this because you saw the TIL from a couple days ago.

I wonder if Erdogan can win the election with 44 thousand people dead and such a poor response plus all the building violations. I won't be surprised if he does.

It's ok to question the results of a vote.

Sure.... that's definitely going to help fix things....

The fact on south Aftica. Brics is jsut compeletely lost now, there is no reviving it at all.

The meaning of words is given by usage. Lots of us know the origin of decimate, but it doesn't matter because that's not what it means anymore. If you look in Oxford, it says "kill, destroy, or remove a large percentage or part of".

It list the one in ten definition as "historical".

Is so naive to think that because they are fighting for their life corrupt officials won't be looking for a personal profit, it shows a profound lack of understanding of reality

Just like that, with no other info, im gonna assume sending jets is a bad idea

That is bullshit.... its the second bullshit statement he said today.

Every day I'm like 'What they doin ova der'.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 74%. (I'm a bot)

> The ruling party-dominated RTÜK imposed heavy fines on 22 February on Halk TV, Tele1 and Fox TV, which have covered the shortcomings in the relief that the government and local authorities have provided to people in the regions hit by the 6 February earthquake.

> Within hours of the earthquake on 6 February, the RTÜK began threatening certain TV channels over the critical tone they were taking in their coverage.

> In December, Konuralp reported that RTÜK was discriminating in its handling of the complaints against broadcasters and that 75% of the fines in 2022 had been imposed on the seven leading critical TV channels.
