Reply to comment by ethereal3xp in The small European nation of Switzerland beat sky-high inflation. Here's how by ethereal3xp
And yet the newest gas bill really hurt. Inflation is low, but things are still costly and some stuff really picked up the pace.

Who the fuck cares what Russia thinks. If Moldova wants to invite Ukraine in to help clean up the mess that Russia created than that’s what will happen. It is the same if Moldova asks Romania for help. Also, what is Russia going to do? Invade Ukraine? They’re already doing that. Invade Romania? Not a chance since Putin is terrified of NATO.

Reply to comment by Vader_Von_Vader in Ukraine war: Zelensky says situation in Bakhmut worsening by jacobhong
Those aren’t the only two options, you know. I know discussion over the internet is hard and it’s easy to want to demonize the anonymous person you are speaking with, but damn. I support Ukraine but US boots on the ground means direct military conflict with Russia, which means nuclear weapons are on the table. I don’t see that resulting in a positive outcome for anyone.
Unless you have some reason you don’t think we have any reason to fear the use of nukes? Putin doesn’t strike me a particularly rational actor.

Reply to comment by thederpofwar321 in Japan to add Russia's Wagner Group, others to sanction list over invasion by progress18
Bodyguards maybe if they’re in the US.
In other countries corps have employed armed men to achieve goals or protect property. But I haven’t seen any evidence of a mega corp employing a literal PMC on scale. Maybe I didn’t search well enough.

I'm not sure what hes on about either, it commonly known the wager is just a direct arm of the Russian gov. With plausible denibility...now if he somehow is trying to reference blackwater, hes dead wrong. Those guys were legit and whole other ball game.

Australia has a lot of access to American and NATO military equipment and intelligence through sharing and cooperation agreements so it's valuable to infiltrate

That implys Putin has the ability to think, let's not kid ourselves, Putin has no brain.
all he has in his head is an old newspaper announcing the fall of soviet union and a picture of himself on horseback.

also he has no dick or ass.

Reply to comment by autotldr in PKK condemns Swedish officials for censuring Kurdistan freedom movement by green_flash
Don't get me wrong, screw Erdogan and what Turkey does to the Kurdish people, but they also didn't exactly pull that out of their backside, did they?
The PKK is designated a terrorist organization by various countries (such as the UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand), as well as the EU, for a reason.
They have a history of suicide bombings, killing swathes of civilians and operating with child soldiers. I can't help but feel sympathy for their general cause and when putting the methods aside, but their claim that they're just a political party is laughable.
