And why do we think they need more weapons to "defend" themselves if they're threatening to obliterate multiple other countries?

fluxion ,

But they do have adequate training time as well as a lifetime of experience blindly following the orders of piece of shit leaders so I don't like where this is going. There needs to be consequences on the table for NK that avoid them flooding Ukraine with tens/hundreds of thousands of soldiers (which would be easy given they have over a million soldiers that don't have shit to do).

One upshot is they are still gated by equipment requirements. But there is actually a vague possibility that NK just bleeds their army dry in exchange of Jong Un getting a reach around from Putin.

fluxion ,

Engineering/support was the pretext for all the Chinese, Cubans, Nepalese, etc. that have ended up as frontline cannon fodder. Both Russia and NK are incentivized to downplay it until the troops are already there so I'd remain weary.

fluxion ,

Gotta find plenty of distractions less people wise up and realize Putin is the real enemy of Russians.

fluxion ,

Oh wow... you're supposed to arrest the leader after a failed coup and not try to elect them as president? Very progressive.

Modi not liking election results so now hes exploring his desire for eternal power with the supreme leader of fascist dictator outcasts

Imagine being on a yacht and still managing to set a forest on fire

Putin pledged military aid to South Korea's greatest enemy, but then throws a hissy fit when South Korea considers military aid fir Ukraine in response. I'm sick of seeing the world being run by idiotic toddlers.

"Go fuck yourself."

fluxion ,

Surely the appreciate the "authenticity" with which he told them to "go fuck yourselves" before flip-flopping and begging them to come back?

fluxion ,

A better way to propose your question is: out of all the millions of people on Earth who hear about these activities, will literally 0 of them take any meaningful action against climate change?

The likelihood of that quite small, suggesting a non-zero value. That non-zero value is likely to be smaller than the damages of water-washable paint.

I'm not advocating for anyone here, but I think that's the calculus OP was suggesting, and it makes perfect sense to me.

If eye-rolling and annoyance produced greenhouse gases, then it might be a different story.

fluxion ,

There are so many "annoying" protests that this logic can be applied to that would seem pretty short-sighted in retrospect.

It's not these people that future generations will think poorly of.

fluxion ,

Russian trolls are flagging streamable vids now apparently.

fluxion ,

Mind-boggling that so-called "patriots" would vote for this Putin bootlicker

fluxion ,

Simple mechanisms for flagging/reviewing misinformation would be helpful but we've gone in the completely opposite direction with Musk's shittified twitter and every platform being scared to provide a dislike count so sll the scummiest shit just floats to the top with zero indication of controversy

fluxion ,

Maybe he didn't recognize it without the "fuck" in front of it

fluxion ,

Tesla getting a new CEO is the only way Tesla is going to win back the demographics that Musk chased away acting like a dumb toddler.

fluxion ,

Johnson came through in the end, the real source of fuckery was Putin's orange puppet.

fluxion ,

Hmm ...what about continuing to go on benders every night and not addressing the problem at all? Would that be bad?

fluxion ,

Hope they get their country cleaned up ok once they finish clearing out all the bullshit they dropped on Ukraine

Every human has a right to be the subjugated by the great leader Putin as he spreads his shit governance over the world

Edit: typo

A few, they actually pulled them from the front reportedly but i guess now they're back with added protection

fluxion ,

Steve McDowell, chief analyst at NAND research, told The Register that VMware by Broadcom is “laser focused on high-revenue, high-margin business” and has priced its wares “just below the pain threshold for customers they care about.”

Interesting way to word "we charged as much as we could possibly get away with"

fluxion ,

Fuck off. That was the deal you signed up for.

fluxion ,

"Stop genocide."

Oh right right. We'll get right on that didn't realize it was a big deal.

fluxion ,

Putin wants his May 9th celebration so the world burns to put a smile on his face

fluxion ,

Looks way better sideways. Good call from the camera guy

fluxion ,

Wow, apparently in some places there are consequences for completing tanking your country's economy and global standing. Which that was true everywhere

fluxion ,

On Friday, Germany vowed consequences for Moscow — in a statement which was backed by EU and NATO over 2023 hacking attacks on the social democratic party of the county’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

Taurus time or are we still concerned about "escalations" beyond Russia planning terrorist acts against your country?

fluxion ,

During Supreme Court proceedings, HS. Phoolka, who represented the child advocacy groups, noted that Harish had constantly watched the video over the course of two years.

In case anyone thinks the ruling is actually about "accidental" downloads

fluxion ,

Just cuz you're all NAT'd up doesn't mean you'll be left alone.
