The Ukrainians were warned that Russia was mobilising. But the Ukrainians, let's be honest, were fighting among themselves. The Ukrainian [politics] were deeply corrupt and I don't think they took the threat very seriously. So when the attack did come, it came as a big shock.

The Russians also believe that the Donbas region is Russian, because so many people there speak Russian, want to be Russian.

He knows that the Donbas region let the Russians in to help them fight the civil war. He's just playing stupid. He knows exactly what's going on here.

They are paranoid and they always will be because they think the West is technically better and richer.

The definition of

The way this downplays then fearmongers, then downplays then fearmongers again is just a trip on its own.

That's because he knows exactly what the truth actually is, and he's doing a very bad job pretending to be stupid.

He knows exactly what's going on here.

We can imagine him saying to the Russians: 'Ok, now you have a piece of Ukraine east of the Dnieper River, and I have a piece of Russia.' He knows that the only possible end for Ukraine is negotiations. There's not going to be a big victory over Russia, forget it.

But Zelensky knows that when the peace treaty comes and there will be peace talks, he has something to sell to Russia to balance Russia's claim to the Donbas.

They are so behind on their narrative switch that they are rolling this out at a time when Russia has already recaptured all sections of Kursk except Sudzha. They won't manage to hold the territory until the end of the year, let alone until any negotiations actually take place.

And a month after Ukraine is driven out of Kursk, this Bratwurst Brain is going to come out claiming that the real goal of the Kursk operation was always to inflict mass casualties on the Russians all along, a statement impossible to disprove by anyone since there's no accurate, unbiased information on casualties, let alone information that Westeners would actually believe.

Now that genocide has been normalized, there's nothing preventing liberals from bringing it home. Personally, I'm expecting homeless eradication squads next.

Oh god, thanks for reminding me of that

He's a Youtuber who got big reacting to other Youtube videos. Used to look a lot less washed up than he does these days.

Nope.

I think the news mega is a good indicator -- as long as 99% of the links to "Twitter-like" social media sites are still Twitter links, then it isn't being replaced any time soon.

People were predicting the imminent doom of the site 2 years ago, and yet despite all the actions Musk has taken to worsen its chances of survival, it just keeps going.

And if Trump ends up returning to it, it might bounce back from the sheer attention he draws.

Neoliberals are the only group who have achieved pure atheist enlightenment, because they truly believe in nothing at all.

He'd win the popular vote and it would be president Bagger Vance

Yes but you need to vote for Kamala because what if it isn't Kamala at all, but it's just me wearing a mask, and the real Kamala is trapped in my basement??

Bet you feel really stupid now :smuglord:

Tons of CO2 particles that could have joined their friends and families in Earth's upper atmosphere but now aren't going to because the Chinese are genociding them with their "clean" (read "pure", obviously a dogwhistle for gas supremacy) technologies.

The sole purpose of the Steam forums is for baby gamer brains and Nazis to cry about how their toys offended them.

Absolutely nothing of value would be lost by shutting them down.

I am convinced that by 2030, it will be the Democrats who will be leading the charge on genociding minorities WITHIN the United States.

The actual Gaza is already the American Gaza given how much they support Israel

Takes like this are a dime a dozen among pro-NATO Europeans. They are not ready for the hardships they will soon have to face.

Under Donald Trump, Congress moved swiftly to block a president from starting a war with Iran. As Joe Biden allows the country to be dragged into such a war, criticism is nearly nonexistent.

Proof that Trump is the harm-reduction candidate.

Even Better Response: Idgaf. Wake me when Zionist heads are being popped like cherry tomatoes.

Apparently, Zelensky is flailing around threatening that Ukraine will develop nuclear weapons.

Absolutely delusional, Ukraine is finished.

"May I have some oats, brother?"

Or literally just open xcancel or another nitter instance in a new tab.

I agree, it doesn't really prevent anyone from seeing public posts.

Meanwhile some ultralibs on other forums think she's doing great.

Kalamity is coming and they don't even know it.
