Imagine trying to enforce a blockade when you can’t even win a Naval battle against a country without any warships.

Or how WW2 was started with Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia conducting a joint invasion of Poland?

I am amazed at how little that’s brought up in discourse.

It’s probably bad that I laughed, huh? I don’t feel guilty about that, but I recognize it’s probably not great.

Happy Pride!

I thought this place was for jokes. Why is there an infographic?

What am I looking at?

Yeah, that tracks.

George.

That doesn’t really fit my platonic ideal of “good guy” but it’s a decent characterization nonetheless.

I can’t think of a single motivation for doing that.

No one is saying that they’re equally bad.

Some folk are having difficulty figuring out that there aren’t any good guys here. We have (in no particular order):

Hamas, who are killing and raping innocent civilians, maintaining military rule, and generally being some of the most prominent examples of why theocracy is bad.

Israel, who’s doing a genocide and helped ensure Hamas was in power because Hamas is fucking evil and thus easy to hate.

The US who is supplying the former, and thus making things easier for them. Simultaneously, Biden appears to be trying to get a bunch of countries to form a peacekeeping force, but frankly I’m not giving him points for that. (Ofc, this does not mean you shouldn’t vote for him. Trump is worse.)

A large ammount of civilians who are being pushed by the first two into making each other victims and being brainwashed into thinking that one or the other is good.

The closest we have to a good guy in this scenario is fucking Egypt who’s participating in a scheme to maintain a peacekeeping force. And as far as I remember not doing anything shady that’s relevant. Reminder that this is the country that periodically comes out with a magical AIDS-curing laser.

I have Greek (for math) and Japanese (because I periodically get depressed that I’m mono-lingual, and get convinced I can learn it “this time”) keyboards installed on my phone, and that’s how I access them as well. My guess is that there there are some ways to switch languages that make it easier to make a mistake, but I can’t say for sure since I don’t have a whole lot of knowledge on the subject.

Look, if Russia wants to keep giving Ukrainians weapons, I think we should support them in this endeavor.

Cybertits.

Wait, can a tank get pregnant?

Asking for a friend.

Wow, that’s gotta be like 5x their standing army or something!
