mihies, in ISW: Russia confirms use of prohibited chemical weapons in Kherson Oblast

Yet riot control gas is perfectly fine for police to use against civilians? Or is that a different formula?

remotelove,

I would say that it is not perfectly fine for police to use that stuff either. It’s some nasty shit and its potential harm is extremely understated.

mihies,

When it was lastly used in Slovenia, it was said that's not a chemical weapon classification. That's why I wonder whether that formula differs. And yes, it's nasty regardless of classification.

mihies, in Germany sends ammunition, demining equipment to Ukraine

Moar Gepards? Did they resolve the ammunition sourcing?

DarkThoughts,

Yes, long ago. Rheinmetall is freshly producing it.

Dyskolos, in Biden approves record $886 billion defense budget

Yeah. Fuck the people and their silly healthcares and petty studentloans and slavery and… Lets ramp up the boomboom! That’s benefitting nearly everyone.

Will we (humanity) ever really leave the stoneage? (rethorical question)

lusterko,

As far as I know democrats were pushing healthcare, and forgiving student loans. US has enough money for all of those

Lophostemon, in ‘Minus Three Russian Bombers.’ Ukraine Set Another Deadly Missile-Ambush—And Shot Down A Trio Of High-Tech Su-34s.

They are kinda cool looking planes though huh?

DarkThoughts,

Sukhoi can definitely make pretty jets, or at least design them. But that won't help them against modern anti air missile systems.
The Su-57 has yet to make an appearance in Ukraine, despite its advertised stealth tech. And with how bad the production of that thing goes it is also questionable how well the Su-75 will fare, especially with all the sanctions in place.

Veraxus, in Finland announces military aid package for Ukraine worth $116 million
@Veraxus@kbin.social avatar

Russia may have started the war, but Ukraine is going to Finnish it.

Hyperreality, in Kremlin rules out peace negotiations with Ukraine

This is surprising. I was expecting them to pretend to negotiate or be willing to negotiate until Trump wins the election.

I suppose they think they've already won, so why bother even pretending.

awwwyissss, in Vladimir Putin is running Russia’s economy dangerously hot

Interesting read, but what are the actual implications? Felt like it stopped before getting to the point. Is there a risk of a crash or what?

Ulara,

So far, the Kremlin has been able to finance military spending by selling gold from the Russian National Wealth Fund. Eventually, this fund will run out.

“Forcing the economy to run at the current pace will, however, exacerbate its current problems and only delay the major bust that they will trigger.”

You should buy yourself a brain for Christmas, but don't go to the discounts, the prices are low, these are entry-level models, make an effort, don't look at the price, get a well-built model with options for reflexions.

Shit attempt at a burn. Now fuck off.

Hyperreality,

It's a weird comment, but note how they spell Israeli. "Israëlian."

Betisedelhom is a non-native speaker, more specifically French speaking. And in French Zelenskyy is latinised as Zelensky.

Bit of a tangent, but I worked with Ukrainian refugees, and often latinisation of cyrillic names is wildly inconsistent. So much so that I had two brothers whose names were spelled differently on their passports, causing a number of issues. The rules have also changed over time.

TLDR: not the most valid criticism.

Betisedelhom,
@Betisedelhom@mastodon.social avatar

@Hyperreality @lusterko @SpicyPeaSoup @Alto

And what are you trying to prove with your explanatory nonsense...

Don't mess with me
Take it for granted that your Zelenskyy is a buffoon...

Hyperreality,

I was pointing out that it was unfair to call you stupid, simply because you used the most common French latinisation of Zelenskyy. You're clearly a non-native speaker, and in any case latinisation of cyrillic names isn't always uniform anyway.

"Don't mess with me".

Or what? You'll call us names and threaten to not be friends?

Sounds like you're 12.

When I see assholes like you, I wonder if the Western assholes aren't finally right to leave you at Putin's mercy because we've realised that you're a corrupt, dishonest people...
All your leaders are corrupt and you're happy to join us in a so-called war on corruption that you're only discovering like the bastards you are in 2023?

gravitas_deficiency,

Don’t mess with me

You know what? I think I will. Don’t tell me what to do.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Also, it’s a pretty obvious tell that you automatically slip into hate speech, despite all your hand-wringing about Palestinians and their human rights. But fuck everyone else, right?

One thing is certain is that we cannot say of you that you are half an idiot, no in fact we can just affirm on facts that you are a double or even a triple idiot

I’m surprised you’re still responding

Betisedelhom,

@gravitas_deficiency
In fact, you should always try to respond to idiots, that could educate them, I remain an eternal optimist on this point...
I do it until I'm tired, and then you tire me...

Go away and fuck you

gravitas_deficiency,

I do what I want.

For instance, I’m gonna go roast some broccolini with a spritz of lemon before serving for an early lunch, which should be quite refreshing to enjoy with a vermouth and soda (rocks). Have you got any designs on lunch, or are you more of a breakfast/brunch sort of person?

gravitas_deficiency, in Pompeo: US to back Ukraine no matter who wins presidential election

Unfortunately, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

tal,
@tal@lemmy.today avatar

I don’t agree with you at all. Why do you think that this is the case?

gravitas_deficiency,

Because if Trump, DeSantis, or someone equally as extreme manages to win the presidency, they’ve been pretty clear that they’re going fuck Ukraine over. Trump specifically took Zelensky’s refusal to play into his “stolen election” bullshit as a personal slight. That precise mentality of “you didn’t help me do something sketchy to increase my personal power so I’m going to fuck you over” is dismayingly prevalent in GOP circles today.

I realize that that is what you are claiming. I’m asking you to show the evidence for this. Why do you think that the US will end support for Ukraine?

Major figures in both parties have said that support is going to continue. This isn’t a particularly partisan issue.

But Republicans are holding up the current Ukraine aid bill in the House.

Republicans aren’t holding up the Ukraine aid bill in the House because they’re opposed to Ukraine aid. Even the people holding it up have stated that. They’re holding up the Ukraine aid bill because it’s a big, important bill, and they’re trying to use it as leverage to get their border policy – which is a big crowd-pleaser for their voters – through.

Similarly, Democrats aren’t holding up the Israel aid bill in the Senate because they’re opposed to Israel aid. They’re doing it for the same reason.

This stuff happens on a pretty regular basis in the US political system, and it’s part of how the system works. There are three different entities that can affect the legislative process – two legislative houses and the Presidency – and it’s rare for both parties to control all three. In any situation other than that, you’ll see parties blocking legislation to obtain leverage to get what they want.

But Trump said that he would end the war in 24 hours.

Trump also said in his last campaign that he would have Mexico pay for a wall between the US and Mexico. Trump has put numerous short statements out on campaign that aren’t even consistent with his own statements; I remember him saying that he would increase H1-B visas in one campaign stop in his last campaign where that was popular, and decrease them in another. He’s made quite a few one-liners like that, and they don’t wind up translating into policy.

When Trump was in office, he was pretty unremarkable from a policy standpoint. How he presented himself was unusual. But he didn’t represent dramatic change from a policy standpoint. Hell, even the “wall” that was the centerpiece of his last campaign – and some wall was built – was a rehashed form of Bush’s fence that he scored points with voters on.

There are two parties in the US. These parties are centrist, big-tent, and from a policy standpoint, don’t dramatically differ. Most policy stays pretty similar from administration to administration. But even if they did differ, most foreign policy isn’t driven at the political level – the people who are doing that are bureaucrats lower down in the executive branch. They don’t change from election to election. There are rare exceptions, like popular opposition to the Vietnam War, where politics does get seriously involved. But that’s not the norm. The US has had the same parties in place for a long time, and US foreign policy doesn’t whipsaw back and forth election by election. This isn’t our first time around the block on this.

Words are wind. If the President isn't one of those "major figures", it means fuck all.

Trump is a known liar. McConnell will get behind whoever has power. Most of the in the House are outright supporting .

Anyone going by the GOP's "words" instead of their past actions, needs their head examined.
