So had someone not liked the pager, and given it away to a family member or friend, that person would have suffered the explosion.

Sounds like a terrorist war crime to me!

Then he’ll remain a danger to the world and probably do a lot of horrible things protecting himself, which will not be a good outcome for the west.

Negotiate the full deal to return Ukrainian, and exit peaceably. Run your stories in Russia “Ukraine successfully denazified, free and fair elections to be held” - “Ukrainian forces defeated at Russian border”…

…then go back to arresting democracy protestors, gay rights advocates, and your own alt-right talking heads… And try to keep your head on Vlad. Try to pick a successors, and a nice European country to retire to.

Like when Russia was trying to frame Ukrainians as running a Nazi network, and ordered a photo to include “three sim cards”… But agents interpreted it to me, three copies of the game, The Sims?

Sonic was really not the game I thought would come true.

Spend the rest of your life complaining “How come his name isn’t Gary Farside?” and saying things like “I thought his name was supposed to be Gary Farside?” - it’s your duty.

Now we enter the food and water shortage stage of Capitalism.

How’d this not violate some Disney trademark I wonder…

Technically it would be a trepanation.

Feels like it’s been speeding up the past few years. Barely had a winter season this year.

The Argentine Peso is pegged to the US dollar.

Yeah, they’re inconsistent from article to article, because it depends on how many editors show up.

The more editors generally means a more consistent result/accurate result.

I don’t know if you’ve ever read through a debate on a contentious and well attended topic on Wikipedia, but they tend to differ to experts, academics, and reliable sources, as it’s a Wikipedia policy (the easiest policy to appeal to in fact).

Sounds like this was more than one ‘point of fact’ or on lone editor at play. Perhaps we read to different things here:

The Los Angeles-based Jewish Journal, which followed the Wikipedia discussion and vote, wrote that the editors who voted on this change claimed to be relying on an academic consensus based on statements of experts on genocide, human rights, human rights law and Holocaust historians.

Sounds like they used high quality reliable sources to define the characterisation of the events. Which is a very Wikipedia approach to take.

There should be instructions that range from beginner, where every little step is included as well as major details as to why - all the way up to expert, which are just a few sentences.

It’s been an ethnic cleansing for a long time, and the US government and military industrial complex is complicit. They provide billions each month in exchange for commitments to use more and more US made weapons… What is it again, 3.8 billions per year for the next 10 years?… It was an Obama era deal that’s only recently been in effect.

Anyone remember how 911 was motivated in part by US involvement in Afghanistan?

This is how you get terror attacks down the line. For some reason people don’t like being ethnically cleansed. It’s a holocaust.

No doubt it’s now considered part of securing the India-Saudi-Israel-Europe trade route that’s been negotiated. So now it’s a measure of how willing America is to watch and fund a genocide in the name of securing trade loyalties and weapons contracts.

I think it’s obvious that Putin has to be killed in the name of global political stability.
