How are these made by western companies and purchased on Ali baba? Arnt those counter intuitive? Wouldn't a western company selling on Ali baba be the same as them selling anywhere else and subject to the same customs and sanctions already in place? I'd believe it coming from SEA or China directly but I thought traffic from Ali baba was relatively one way.

It is. She was an asshole.

Warhead, the copper presumably shoots a shape charge Ala rpg7. They are usually cupped like that.

Now you’ve got me curious.

Just because you don't understand or « don’t know how to expect » doesn't mean you're right and your point valid.

If afterwards, you tell me that the opinion of the majority (aka democracy) of the population does not interest you... that's another story.

America is not a single entity, and what you attributing to them isn't even a representative of the opinion of a majority of Americans (whom don't have equal democratic representation in the US government).

As I said in another comment here, the Bush administration's invasion of Iraq sparked one of the biggest protests in modern history and Bush would leave office as the least popular president since they started keeping track of public opinion. There is still a lot of injustice in the US, and everywhere you find it you also find Americans fighting against it as well.

We all have a couple of options here. We can make the Russian invasion of Ukraine about the US and it's ongoing fight against it's own injustices or just accept that Americans are highly valuable allies needed to help stop Russia in its tracks and talk about that, and leave the discussion of US politics to the politics subreddit.

Maybe the police are just fans of not burning the place down, plus once one of your "brothers" tosses a bomb at you, I'm guessing you stop caring about their cause in a hurry.

Closer to home means less stress of travel and more familiar faces.

As an American, I am always shocked by how many people justify their own ugliness and hate by pointing to America. If nothing else, America's hypocrisy gives you a nice big red bow on your casual suggestion that 330 million people dying would be a nice thing in a currency thread. Funny how hate works isn't it?

Bad human behavior is bad human behavior. Use whatever enemy real or imagined necessary, but if you're so open with your own hate, you're no better. You're just another savage with a different flag, or maybe the same one I don't know.

Clamoring for nuclear annihilation of anyone doesn't make you better. It makes you worse. America won't fall, though. Entering into an era of war will only further serve American interests. Death by 1000 cuts was doable in times of peace, but in a time of war, good luck. Whether it's oil, gold, or otherwise, a desperate America will be happy to take it off someone's hands with not so much as an apology. Won't that be fun? The only way to beat her is from within.

I see.

Also, here - I think you dropped this ~picks up tinfoil hat from the ground~

For normal people probably but for a billionaires son who probably uses the people there as play toys I doubt he’s having a bad time. Probably gets away with much more heinous shit there too

Last time Russia did training exercises they went to war

Excessive looting and destruction of property probably should be met with excessive force tbh.

😉

Edit: I support the protests. I support democracy. I support law abiding people.

I don't support thugs (police or protesters). I don't support criminals who destroy public or private property. Disagreeing with your elected government does not give anyone the right to be violent and destroy the property of innocent people.

An avalanche starts as a snowball, you don't see the enormity until it's rolled down the hill

The civil war killed those people, which was roughly half a million give or take 100K or so. The Bush administration was still responsible because of their careless invasion, but it's more of a case of negligent homicide rather than murder. When the Iraq invasion happened it sparked one of the one of the biggest worldwide protests ever seen, except people didn't know that because it wasn't covered. But that was twenty years ago, there is little we can do about that now. Even if Bush and Cheney is brought to the Hague (which would be awesome if it did happen), it won't bring back any of the dead in Iraq or change the political situation there. What we can change is what is happening in Ukraine now, where Russia is actively murdering Ukrainians in the name of imperialism. Which is what this article is about before you derailed into US history as if it has any relevance.

What is that brass & copper cylinder on the right part of the table?

It didn’t work for North Korea and it sure as hell isn’t gonna work for your proven pathetic military

Not openly state sponsored at least.

Maybe this is the shit they should focus on to get money for pensions instead of raising the retiring age.

... huh?

Last I checked, America wasn't across-country killing girls and preventing their education.
