Cope cages on Western tanks, I think. Russians have had them for awhile but theirs look like shit.
Not just that, look at the sides and front bottom, there’s ERA slapped all over it. They gave it both the Cope Cage and ERA treatment, this is truly peak credibility.
He was too angry at Stalin to be afraid.
Wouldn’t be so quick to assume that if I were you.
The Biden Admin saved Lula (a socialist) from a coup by Bolsonaro
The Biden Admin has also pursued closer ties to the socialist government of Chile.
It seems that the Biden administration is perfectly okay with socialists, as long as they adhere to democracy.
Likely just a common tit for tat attack in retaliation for the Israelis bombing the Iranian embassy in Syria
Fuck, can we ban this? I normally hate passing laws that don’t really do anything, but it’s so hard to figure out what a program is from the name when every single government agency insists on shoving an acronym in the name.
It could absolutely end up being that, but an increased amount of even just social media communications between Chinese and Western people probably wouldn’t be a horrible idea.
Reactionary unlike the homophobic theocracy leaning dictatorship currently invading Ukraine?
Liberalism does not just mean capitalism. Most of Liberal thought is about political rights, the kind of political rights that Putin obviously has no care for.
Last time I checked, Putin, the one who invaded Ukraine, is certainly not a Liberal.
This is the take that makes people feel like they can shoot grandma’s and burn children. You can run an effective resistance without targeting civilians ask the ANC.
I mean when there’s a genocidal right-wing dictatorship next door that’s taken up invading nation’s as a hobby, of course they’re gonna vote for the one whose highest priority is security.
The only reason to simp for Wagner is to be so brain fucked by the atrocities of the West that any other country’s atrocities somehow become “liberatory police actions” in comparison.

Non-amp link, stop simping for rapists and mass murderers.
Don’t think we’d necessarily need the CIA for that one, seems that the Russians have been doing the work for us.
We’ll see if the new group is as awful as Wagner was.
Yes, I don’t think I alluded anywhere in my comment to them being reasonable.
I’d say I alluded to quite the opposite by saying even the often war crime friendly US army is justified in keeping ISIS from having any territory every again.
I’m probably gonna get hate for this, but I think our presence in Syria (and too a far lesser degree in Iraq, specifically Sinjar and Iraqi Kurdistan) is completely justified. Not only is the revolution in North and East Syria/Rojava incredibly hopeful as a new stable and egalitarian Middle Eastern democracy, let alone it having some policy positions more radically egalitarian than most of Europe, but our actions in Syria and Sinjar have been some of the few almost unadulteratedly good military actions of my lifetime.
Between us and the YBS, we stopped a genocide in Sinjar, and im glad we’ll be there to stop one again if ISIS ever resurfaces like it’s currently trying to.
Why is it that every time that you’re confronted with information that proves you wrong you always just pivot back to
“Well what does it matter anyway, America is worse”?
Thank you for posting the Smarter Every Day vid, it’s a long one, but, really, everyone, even somewhat interested in NASA should watch it
Because NATO is a defensive pact, not an empire, and can’t just have its troops deployed with the unilateral will of the United States?
By first declaring “Social Justice Warriors” to be the enemy and bashing against them at every step for a decade.
