Man. Next time you want to vote for a “strong man” realise that this is the shit it gets you and that these cunts will literally burn their own country down around them with no regards for the people that pay the price.

This ends when Putin and his sycophants do. How many Russians have to die with them is up to the Russians.

Incorrect, most people are involved in some sort of black market trade. The North Korean jangmadang are not like typical black markets and many North Koreans depend on their existence. The NK government on the whole tends to tolerate the markets, though they impose regulations on some goods and restrict who are allowed to work in vendor stalls.

It's the new talking point to keep morale and support up by minimizing the importance of the loss. Notice how it's being repeated over and over now. Somehow it's simultaneously of little importance (despite many figures saying the contrary) and worth dumping loads and loads of soldiers. I think the other narrative to push is that it was meant to be used to "empty military resources from Russia", which is again clearly a point pushed as damage control.

Ah so you don't just have no justification for russias warmongering, you actively support it. After all supplying weapons and ammunition does make the situation better by allowing ukraine to defend itself. Taking that away from them means helping russia. Not intervening means supporting russia. It's that simple.

But what did I expect from a 1 month old account with like 8 comments or whatever.

Funny. In Idaho right now its freezing and has snowed about 4 ft in the last month. Most snow Ive ever seen here and seems like its been abnormally cold all winter long. It seems like there is a jet stream thats moving the cold arctic air more south. Im sure it will revert back to normal over the next couple of years and the ice will build back up. Also, the more ice that melts from glaciers and ice caps in Antartica, the colder it makes arctic ocean waters thus creating more sea ice during winter months.

>ts Ukraines by far strongest fortification on the frontlines atm.

If you look at the topographic map you'll see that Bahkmut is in the low ground, theres defensive positions behind Bahkmut that at 100m+ higher. If Russia finally manages to take Bahkmut they'll get shot to shit from those positions anyway and then it's an uphill battle trying to push out of the town.

TL;DR since africa is being exploited regardless of our disgust to it .we should take it over by any means to develop it while regulating the raw resources and working conditions of people. Its hideous and disgusting but its the fastest way to stop exploitation .

​

​

Western block should depose unfavourable leaders in Africa that hinder the development of their nations also punish Western companies / politicians who exploited the regions Congo should be taken our for humanitarian and industrial reasons. For every dollar that comes out of Congo in terms of cobalt etc. should be spent on developing regions infrastructure ;school , hospitals , roads etc. Yes Europeans have brutally colonized the region in the past but its still going on under the name of corrupt local politicians and greedy global corp. Under the flag of UN or EU strategic and humanitarian regions should be taken over by force and ruled until local population reaches some levels of modernity. Leaving the african nations "alone" only causes them to collapse due to extensive foreign involment.

>You miss the point though that they can simply leave the CFA and have all that control

No, you deliberately ignore the part where France bribes and incentives the top leadership to do what isn't best for the country. First world nations bribing and corrupting third world nations is par for the course and it's deeply disingenuous to suggest that doesn't happen - France has means, motive, and opportunities in buckets.

And you also ignore the other times they absolutely wrecked the country that tried to leave. They made a example out of it - and we only have to look at the Middle East and Eastern Europe to see that nothing has changed: countries can and do forcibly use hard power to get their way.
