Can’t change the past, only decide what to do in the future. I agree that it should have been done straight away but perfect shouldn’t be the enemy of good, going back to check up on it is better than not doing anything.

My personal hope is that this is the end of the Russian Federation. It’s an enormous country which has oppressed and subjugated a bunch of different cultural and ethnic groups to homogenize Russian society according to the leaders’ ideals for a long time and I think it would be better if it was split into smaller countries that would hopefully allow for actual democracy closer to the people.
I mean, not for lack of trying, they did stage a coup and plant the Shah of Iran as the leader for a while
The person who proposed it to begin with, Ylva Johansson is (to my great shame) a Swedish social democrat. Social democrats in Sweden unfortunately have their heads up their own asses a lot of the time.
The noise cats make before they throw up.
Are you implying that helping and saving people is not worthwhile if it doesn’t immediately put an end to the war?
I have a horrible feeling that this is the beginning of a terrible slide. The racists will use this opportunity to be as obstructionist as they can and then scream in their home countries about how inefficient the EU is, and because the EU is so far away from home for most people, they’ll believe them. And then we’ll slide further.
I think you might need some form of outlet.
Starcraft was also supposed to be a Warhammer 40k game iirc.
How do you make it work? I’ve been in a few but after a while the heartache from missing them gets unbearable.
I may be wrong but I believe the description is what is read by screen readers to help those with visual impairments.
If anything, it makes the current conflict even worse: Not only have gazans been forced to suffer from israeli occupation, they have also been systematically oppressed by Hamas and now they’re being slaughtered for their sake. I wouldn’t be surprised if this pushed more people towards Hamas or other terrorist organizations in the long run.
But he’d still be in a gulag, I think that part is more important than a clean conscience.
Even if the change is that he gets sent to a Siberian prison and/or executed? As long as the war in Ukraine is ongoing, I sincerely doubt he has any chance of getting out of Russia.
When making an international organization without having the means or the desire to force everyone to join and follow the rules, you have to compromise to make certain states (especially the powerful ones) participate willingly.
I have a slight worry that pardoning Snowden would result in his disappearance/death since Putin would no longer have any use for him. Right now they are protecting someone who is considered an enemy of the US government and has embarrassed the US intelligence apparatus, if that changes then he no longer fills a purpose for the Russian government.
I want Snowden to be home free but right now I think he’s in a precarious situation.
Even worse, in the cases where there are buckets with cat litter in a school, it’s for active school shooter situations (about halfway down, where Columbine is mentioned).
Didn’t seem so obvious to me, looked more like just doing the same thing back.
Where? I have never experienced this before.
