The South Koreans did the same in Vietnam and it is said it kickstarted their economy, maybe it’s the same here.

!But not really!<

My English teacher back in school always said “life is hard and unfair”

In my industrial mechanic apprenticeship I had a stay in the maintenance department. In the time had to clean out a several hundred liter tank of spoiled cooling lubricant of a CNC machine. If not maintained properly it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi and it almost made me puke the first time I broke the surface of the waste at the bottom of the tank after pumping the fluids out. It didn’t get much better when I had to shovel out the rest of it.

I will never work in maintenance again.

(Edit because I tried something short because I wasn’t able to comment here last time I tried)

When I played with my much older brother when I was a lot younger I never let them him play with his black deck that was built around his ivory tower card because it was so annoying. I still almost always lost but at least I had fun.

Because the saber rattling gets louder

It’ll be a quick thing, 3 days max in and out

Well, I don’t hold them in high regards either

It’s not helping that our BND is probably one of the worst secret agencies the West has to offer.

Maybe they’re sending everything to Ukraine and just want to make sure the South doesn’t get any idea

Recognisable by the screw heads facing West

What can they really do after all, Israel hast the biggest military behind it

Nah, Russia’s fuckbuddys can go straight to hell regardless of their political side.

I’m guessing they’d still be under observation after they get banned because of exactly that and I also think there’s steep step between political engagement and serious criminal activity.

But that gets decided by a court and as a German I think the judiciary is the most trustworthy of the three powers. I think if it even comes to that they deal with the motion in a sensitive way.

Pyrrhic victory after pyrrhic victory

Russia was never not a propaganda and fear controlled dictatorship, they only changed the paint job from time to time. It’s almost impressive or at least very difficult for one to free themselves from that and open their mind when they, their parents and their parents and so on grew up like that.

I’m not saying it’s not their fault I just think there’s nuance to that.

It’s just so much stuff and I never knew what’s actually important and what not

EU4…

I like most other Paradox games and I’m at least decent in them I’d say but EU4 just eludes me.

Different parties

As someone from Munich, stay the fuck home. If you come here and waste your money on that overpriced and overcrowded shit you’re an idiot and deserve waiting for hours in front of a tent and not getting in anyway.

But still, I can’t imagine fighting in an inhospitable and remote area like that would be worth the cost whatever the price is.
