The title for this article on another subreddit is "The Second Worst Thing An Artist Has Done To Russia".

Even their metal is poor quality and not military grade. Probably worth recycling for some other purpose though.

One day in 2022, Putin found a monkey's paw. "Oh Monke Paw," Putin asked the paw "If I invade Ukraine, will I be successful?"

The paw answered "My son, if you invade Ukraine, in one year your tanks will ride through the streets of Berlin."

And so things went.

Lol. Well u/M17CH I'm sure you have me there.... posting anonymously on reddit . What sort of cunt does that eh!

Lula is so confounding to me because I think his domestic policies are good and sound, but he has some of the shittiest foreign affairs takes I’ve ever heard.

“It takes two to go to war” gee Sun Tzu thanks for that illuminating take, it’s not like war by definition would be between two or more factions. If the US invaded Brazil would he be saying that as well? That Brazil is at fault for fighting back?

It reminds me of when the new Colombian President shit on the US in a speech to his base then met with the CIA director the next day and asked for money. Lula just wants to be anti-west for the sake of being anti-western and because it’s a pathetic attempt to get a dig at the west (at the expense of Ukrainian people); he has no other coherent rationale for how exactly it’s Ukraine’s fault that they got invaded because Russia doesn’t accept their sovereignty or ability to make autonomous decisions regarding their future. It’s the classic global south mentality of “I want pity for my history of colonization, and you should be standing up for me, but if another country gets colonized by an imperialist power, you’re insane for suggesting I condemn it when I can profit off of it (in this case by buying cheap fertilizer) instead”.

And they would be right since UK does not depend on Russian NG.

Pretty much walk anywhere.

If you manage to outwalk the spiders, snakes and drop bears the crocodiles will get you.

They have really made it sound like this was ASIO announcing it, but that speech absolutely didn’t divulge or hint at which state was involved, which is protocol.

The ASIO annual report was publicised in the media. The ASIO report DOES NOT NAME NAMES.

The allegations it was based out of the Russian Embassy came from other reports, as did expulsion of people.

So that's why people tell me to never go to Bondi beach.

>need a reddit TIL to learn the meaning of the word decimate.

Yes. Historical meaning btw, not current.

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

Posting a phrase in Latin anonymously behind a screen is proof of absolutely nothing.

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

So then you would acknowledge that "well-regulated" in the historical sense is not prescribing heavy restrictions.

Either way, you're purposely using a long out of favour definition for a "gotcha" moment.

I was totally expecting it to be 2 saved, 24 completely extinct.

It's wonderful that they managed to get everything in order in the end but I swear sometimes Germany can be inexplicably, frustratingly, excruciatingly ... German. Berlin truly is a failed state for many reasons but, hands down, this shit could have happened in my small backwater town just the same, step by step. And you wouldn't even need a destroyed tank for that.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 69%. (I'm a bot)

> The Financial Action Task Force, a global financial crime watchdog, on Friday suspended Russia's membership, saying Moscow's war in Ukraine violated the organisation's principles.

> Ukraine, which has made repeated calls to exclude Russia from the organisation, welcomed the decision to suspend Russia but added that it would continue its push with FATF members to go further and get Russia blacklisted.

> "The Russian Federation remains accountable for its obligation to implement the FATF Standards. The Russian Federation must continue to meet its financial obligations," the FATF said.

Lula and Brazil have approximately zero influence on Putin. Even the Kremlin has approximately zero influence on Putin.

Basically Russia needs to lose badly and repeatedly until Putin either wakes up or dies. Hopefully one of these events can transpire sooner than later.

Basically every single call for “diplomacy” is a bad faith proposal for Ukraine to surrender.

So to answer your question as simply as possible - YES, I do want a state that understands context and fkn nuance.

There is constructive negativity. Negativity exists for a very specific reason. Then there are just lies propaganda fear paranoia that essentially puts someone on par with a pinky nationalist scumbag.

You can win any election when you're a dictator that doesn't count votes....
