Seems like that isn’t going to be particularly productive for anybody but russia?

…always? It was “comparable to living as a British colonial subject” prior to decolonization. It’s certainly worse now but always is a weird one.

…betting on who wins a chess match? A thing that absolutely happens in the betting community?

Honestly, the list of things people don’t bet on is probably shorter.

I don’t think you get to play the “well you started ww2 card” when you’re trying your damndest to start ww3 lmao

Dude I love the guys that are like “well WaPo isn’t reporting it and the Americans didn’t email me specifically about their plans to resist so they must all be rolling over”

there is no coal plant incident even remotely theoretically possible that can render massive regions inhospitable for centuries

If you ignore the incident we’ve all been watching slowly unfold for centuries with our thumbs up our asses, and oil spills to a lesser extent, sure

Including disasters like Chernobyl, nuclear energy causes several magnitudes less deaths than fossil fuels. It is utterly fucking insane for the concern to be “the horrors” of the three meltdowns you’re thinking of, of which the only one to kill or injure any civilians was Chernobyl. Fukushima did have some workers undergo significantly higher than usual radioactive doses - I invite you to contrast this with the mortality rate of, say, working on an oil rig.

Fossil fuels are killing this planet before your very eyes. I am thrilled by the progress renewables are making, and small scale nuclear is quite likely the only new nuclear we would benefit from constructing these days. But we could have saved an ungodly amount of fossil fuels being burned and thus lives if it wasn’t for this argument.

Americans aren’t going to do anything

• Japan, 1941

Sometimes it just takes us a bit.

Gotta love you throwing shade at people “going on social media doing nothing” while you sit, on social media, doing nothing lmao.

It is fucking hilarious for the tankieverse to blame somewhere else for being too hard on censorship lmao y’all really are something

This person unwittingly provides an excellent example of why many dislike .ml users.

…so they executed 870 men? Or is that “at least 31 women”

If you ignore the big fat “nobody wins” button several nations have, sure.

The 1800s want their predictions back

I’d take a swapsies, let Muskie take his place.

How much rebuking has the Israeli government done of these extremists?

Is that why they’re airing property listings in southern lebanon?

China definitely, 100% bro, has no possible ulterior motives for subsidizing the fuck out of their electric vehicle industry to out compete it in its early stages across the west. Yeah, right.

Tell me again about how China has no import tariffs on anything?

The disconnect is you seem to think it’s a black and white thing. That one must love Hamas if they disapprove of recklessly bombing civilian encampments. Surely if these allegations were fake, Israel would be more than happy to disprove them? To not, I don’t know, protest violently for their right to horrifically mistreat Palestinians when reined in even slightly?

It is senseless to damn every living person in gaza for the actions of one group.

Also, it feels real questionable to talk so much about the Palestinian president without addressing Bibi - I highly recommend the behind the bastards episodes for anyone unsure what his deal is.

I would like to preface my comment with the statement that this is a sad subject and a very unfortunate situation.

But has anyone considered the possibility that the cats of Istanbul may have seized control of the government?
