It is.

I have a soundcore motion+ hanging above my head for audiobooks and podcasts while I fall asleep. It has a pleasant and full sound that’s not harsh like most of the BT speakers I’ve experienced.

It’s fucking weird. The characters are fine and cute. Its just the old pedo priests behind it that creep me out.

Fair enough, but does Israel need permission to not genocide their neighbours? We should focus on Israel first I think. Unless you think they’re a lost cause.

Am I wrong to assume Israel wouldn’t stop their genocide even if the US stops supporting them? The US isn’t forcing Israel to be scumbags.

I’ve always been curious as to how many actually, truly, believe in that shit. It’s, sadly, probably pretty high. You’d hope the smarter grifters wouldn’t go all in though.

It would’ve been nice if he didn’t just show up under the radar and actually officially stated he was going with what intentions like every other visit.

Fair enough. We’ll have to see how it plays out. I have a feeling they’ll be more reliable and motivated than most of their Russian counterparts. Who knows, they might not even see the front line, it’s all just a mystery.

These aren’t cadets. They’re probably extremely loyal and well trained. What they get is real modern warfare experience they will bring back home. Maybe, as a remote possibility, they’ll get nuclear info to improve on their own projects.

As long as the US “Fully, fully, fully, supportive of Israel” nothing can be done internationally.

There is a lot of merits to left libertarianism (social anarchy) that I would put into the “ideal” category.

The Chinese like to import their citizens as well into those jobs. See Africa.

There’s a path to NATO membership Ukraine has that Afghanistan didn’t. The US never considered the Afghan people a true ally - just a useful tool to weaken Russia. Similar to Ukraine arming Russian separatists but on a much larger scale. Everyone wants this war to end on all sides. It’s just a matter of forcing Putin into good faith bargaining or total Russian victory.

I have a feeling you’d like to see Ukraine fall and be wiped off the map. Why, what purpose does that serve?

That’s not a good take. The US has been dragging it’s feet in supplying Ukraine and has put gigantic restrictions on the use of those supplies. A very stark difference compared to Israel’s use, as an example. Zelensky just had a meeting with Biden today about his plan ending the war that I’m sure will involve giving up a significant amount of Ukraine to Russia. It’s not great being neighbors with Russia.

Tankies are just communist cosplayers.

The things we take for granted are way too high.

I clip my work knife in my back pocket that is on the far side distal. It’s in a good spot that doesn’t interfere with sitting.

They aren’t very organized. They make a lot of blunders. Their ethos is a complete mess, however, they’re the only ones who are actively taking physical action against Israel. South Africa is doing really good work within the anemic UN and ICJ. The rest of us are either in full support or, at best, indifferent.

nicotine+ is a nice soulseek interface.
