Exactly, the FANGS want the media to push that “social media victimhood” narrative forward. The real reasons are much more down to earth, and encompasses much broader subjects.

But you gotta do what you gotta do to please those who direct clicks towards you. Appease your masters.

I concur and it’s playing against current politicians in the EU. But, we don’t have enough air defenses, we still don’t produce enough ammo to arm those that defend our eastern side. So we are, for the time being , limited in our actions and can only issue strongly worded letters while getting those things to move.

The humiliation of it isn’t lost on many European voters, I’m just afraid their rightfull anger at the situation will get channelled by those that obey US and Russian interests.

Yeah, but from A to B the plane does not use man made infrastructure and planes are for longer journeys than typical trains. Two airports cost a lot less than the constant maintenance of hundreds of miles of tracks, signaling, crossings, bridges and tunnels, forest overgrowth etc. plus the road infrastructure needed to maintain all parts of the train track corridor, even if it’s a dirt road, it needs minimum maintenance.

Yeah they didn’t beat him to death, great. KICK can revert back to it’s usual self.

His last video was a marathon one where the others induced him into a severe lack of sleep while making him absorb all manners of substances.

His last message to his mother (because the two torturers randomly opened his message app to read out his private conversations to the public) told her he was sick of this video, wanted to stop it, but the two others held him captive.

Fuck the media for bowing to the pressure of big tech who want this story out of people’s mind before it sets a precedence. I’m not saying kick puts pressure, I’m saying the FANGS are doing it.

Georgia wasn’t even in talks with joining NATO or even the EU when Russia invaded it.

NATO isn’t a war bait for Russia. It has never been. Russia hasn’t decided to start this war because of NATO expansionism.

The only reason the US is getting into this is because the EU is their best client. The US has no interest in defending Ukraine. I understand that, it has been made perfectly clear ( not by you, specifically but by representatives of the US nation.)

Oh yeah…

The ever expansionist NATO that keeps pulling the breaks whenever a new candidate appears because this or that already existing member puts up last minute conditions.

That Against the secluded empire that pulls no breaks to fuck up it’s neighbours until they accept the membership with the gun barrel pointed at their forehead.

Anybody who isn’t an oligarch feels betrayed, constantly, by the actions of those who consider themselves to be Ubermensch.

Those two Dofus, and others like them, don’t get we know what they are doing and see through their bullshit 100 miles ahead.

What frightened them with Luigi will only multiply, no matter what control they think they are applying through their surveillance capitalism. It’s simply not possible to control what goes on between our ears. It’s possible to control personas that we all use on the internet but it’s much harder to control the being of meat and thoughts. And this is what will get those monsters as it often got others in history.

Russia and china are only using failures in western policies against us. They don’t create them. It’s up to our nations to resolve those tension spots so they cannot be used against us.

The Russian argument is understandable because it’s what our governments point to as the origin of their failures. It allows them to keep pointing at that “outside interference”, invest in surveillance while not investing in what the subjects used by the interference reveal about the real wants of the population are.

Russia certainly is no friend of democracy and hatred towards the Putin regime is healthy but to fight it does take more than just saying a third of your citizenship is dumb and brainwashed, you have to remedy what they use against us.

It’s going to be worse than you have. Not the same, living there, seeing the things: Europe is on the verge of going the hardest right wing way again, trumpism will look like amateur far-right compared to what is about to go down here.

It sounds like another ransomware gang.

But it’s not cats or dogs they are asking for, it’s rabbits and chickens… Pets you can find in any supermarket.

He’s got a great GI tract! The best ever!

In the meantime, Russians and Chinese are building bases all over the area, once French and US bases close down and evacuate. So the “live freely and peacefully” is wishful thinking at best. They close down their bases because those are at risk.

It’s a bit less than 1% erosion per year but yeah… They got bakmut two years ago and now they are at chassiv yar, 4 miles further according to Google maps.

Will you push it and be ready to kill a 16 Y.O to make another father mourn?

Because by “weaving through traffic” and “taking chances”, that’s usually what ends up happening.

Could be like France where the rise in cancers (especially pancreatic ones) is linked to cadmium in the plants (french farmers currently use phosphates from Moroccan mines that are very high on cadmium, poisoning the plant based food that is eaten there, cereals and veggies alike). The rest of the EU uses stricter heavy metals tolerances and uses phosphates produced in Europe or China, that have way lower cadmium levels.

Doctors unions have recently pulled the alarm and recommend the general public to only eat organic, as phosphates are not allowed.

Even better: quite a few models allow the installation of an extra module that works as a split water circuit air cooler. So no condensation on radiators but cool air blown from an AC looking thing. Daikin and mitsubishi has such models (from memory).

The following webpage does the job of showing you all the available subsidies to get a heat pump fitted to replace a fossil fuel based furnace.

Globally, you get help in the case of an air to water heat pump and not an Air to Air ones BUT, technically, on quite a few models, you can add , for a small price) an extra circuit that works as a water based split air cooler (so not proper AC, but damn quite close to it).

In France the government is helping people get Aircon by subsidising heatpumps, also way more carbon efficient than Gaz or fioul based central heating.
