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.

Keeping an organization from being liars and aggressive by sheer threat of nuclear attack is not a point in favor of that organization...

Reply to comment by Ok-Welder-4816 in North Korea holds rare meeting on farming amid food shortage by NCGuy257
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.

Reply to comment by Additional-Resort-28 in German leader seeks Indian support for Russia's isolation by Falls_stuff
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.
FM-101 t1_jac3j50 wrote
That makes absolutely no sense. Why would Ukraine accept that.
There can obviously not be talks while there are russian soldiers in Ukraine.

Reply to Antarctic sea ice likely shrunk to a record low last week, US researchers said Monday, its lowest extent in the 45 years of satellite record-keeping by DoremusJessup
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.

So then we should still respect that tribes decision to fuck the environment and block windmills?

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Russia tries to encircle Bakhmut amid mud of Ukraine’s Donetsk by BusbyBusby
>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.

Ok, officer. I'm open to discussing stopping committing crimes for now, but obviously we can only talk if you agree I keep all the money and land I stole and don't have to go to jail for the thousands of people I killed.
Deal?

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.

Reply to comment by Mika0023 in Macron flies to Africa to counter waning French influence by HRJafael
>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.

Over 70% of the FBI fugitive list is Chinese spies or Russian hackers. They are everywhere and in every country. Australia is going to have a difficult time expelling Chinese intelligence assets.
