Holy shit that’s crazy. 45 15 police officers were killed too. I bring up this number in particular because usually, attacks like this, have people heavily armed against unarmed people. They usually get dispatched pretty quickly when they encounter any sort of armed resistance (police, or people with guns), but to see that they still were able to kill 45 police is crazy.
i have a loooong list of things i’d expect in exchange. (freedom for uighurs, no harrassing neighbour regions/countries, stop cyberattacks, no supporting russia, etc. etc.)
But probably they will settle for opening the books on the EV manufacturers and their supply chains. And then either we will see the companies are state sponsored, or the western manufacturers are price gouging customers.
daaamn this gang applied the same old receipt : The french word for murderer is “assassin” that comes from the haschischins sect (XIe century). The “old men from the mountain” (leader) gave young mens a taste of paradise (cannabis, food, shelter, maybe girls) then sent them to kill someone.
I have an epically looooong list of things I’d expect in exchange. (Freedom for Uighurs, no harassing neighbor regions/countries, stopping all cyberattacks, no supporting Russia, universal peace, free ice cream on Fridays, unicorns in every garden, a global ban on pineapple pizza, mandatory nap times, free hugs for everyone, endless weekends, no more Monday blues, a lifetime supply of chocolate, teleportation technology, a cure for the common cold, pet dragons, a colony on Mars, no traffic jams ever, rainbows every day, zero gravity vacations, flying cars, talking animals, a personal assistant for everyone, and world peace, etc. etc.)
Introducing Colonel Oleksiy Morozov to the staff on Monday, Zelenskiy said his main task was to ensure that only those who see their future tied with Ukraine join the agency - his first comments since the agents were arrested.
“And, of course, the agency must be cleared of anyone who chooses not Ukraine for themselves or discredits the state guard service,” he said on Telegram.
Pffft no way, sweden doesn’t have gun crime because only american laws can do a gun crime, impossible without it. Those swedes don’t know how to build anything and there isn’t a single machine shop or black market dealer anywhere outside of the US!
Hang on I’m being passed an update…
It seems that machine shops actually exist everywhere and bad people can indeed get things illegally, or even legally if they haven’t been caught being bad yet. Man who’da thunk it? I could’ve sworn that “if we had gun laws like yurop” it would solve all our problems 600,000,000 unregistered guns be damned.
As he was too young to be sentenced
Check it out, the same logic that let Cruz walk free on the over 40 calls made about him before he shot up Parkland. Maybe charging murderous children is actually a good way to keep them from buying guns as adults which is much harder with a record in America, I can only imagine the same would apply to swedes, and then whatever senior members will have to get guns illegally (which tbh isn’t that hard but at least you can say you tried.)
Sweden, which is currently experiencing an outbreak of gum violence, has 62 fatal shootings in 2022. To put that in perspective, adjusted for population, the equivalent would be 2000 shootings in the states.
Actual number of fatal, non-suicide shootings in the states? 20000.
Difference being nobody is going around claiming the US is perfect. You ever talk to a european? They have an inability to admit anything bad happens there, generally, and if it did it was merica’s fault of course.
Oh I complain about the US a lot, as does everyone here on lemmy and everyone I know IRL, but europeens think they can feel superior for being little middle of the road countries the size of Michigan and forget we’re the size of the whole ass EU meaning that’s the correct comparison, which your “superiority” just doesn’t cover. Sure, NL may be fine, just try to be a black guy in the wrong berlin neighborhood though, I’ve heard some interesting stories about the “totally not nazi” police there. I also hear France is becoming Nazis, and sweden has a lot of gun crime and the occasional grenade attack, we don’t even have those in America lol, certainly sounds like we all have enough problems, but nope, you idiots have to pretend you’re better because deep down you know you’ll never be. Oh well.
I know I know the US totally compares well in terms of police violence and prisoners per capita. To North Korea. It also compares well in terms of gang violence – to Haiti or Mexico.
Meanwhile, Germans consider it a national embarrassment that the Swiss and Japanese have better train systems. All a matter of perspective.
Hmm the Germans don’t keep the trains running on time anymore? Interesting, you’d think if they kept one thing from 1933-1945 it would have been that instead of the literal nazi police members they still have. Strange. Funny you guys also have one of the sex trafficking capitols of the world, Romania. Btw of how are the UK racists who insist that “they hate the ‘gypsies’ for their culture” which is exactly what the racists say over here about the “thugs” and their “rap music?”
Foh lmao, we both have problems and you’re just as delusional as the nationalistic dickheads I’m always bitching at over here, but you pick an area the size of one of our states to be nationalistic about which lets be real is fucking sad.
Whoops my bad, that was Mussolini, Italy is in the EU too though and so was Franco’s Spain. I hear they still have a problem with fascists too, weird trend developing here. Btw fucking wild you’d say “animal trains,” of course they also compared Jewish people to animals so I shouldn’t be surprised, I guess that’s why you’re brushing the whole current nazi problem aside.
And wait I thought we could only talk shit and pretend our countries are the best, which the US is and it’s perfect, there are no problems. (That’s you, that’s what you sound like.)
Btw fucking wild you’d say “animal trains,” of course they also compared Jewish people to animals so I shouldn’t be surprised,
Maybe because they actually used animal trains. Cattle wagons. Something like that it’s not like I’m a native speaker. The type of train carriage built for purposes of transporting livestock.
What did you expect, 1st class accommodations to Auschwitz?
…and no, Mussolini didn’t get the trains running on time, either. The Swiss and Japanese do, though.
And wait I thought we could only talk shit and pretend our countries are the best, which the US is and it’s perfect, there are no problems.
Who do you mean with “we”, here? US and China? Oh, Bavaria. Bavaria also definitely qualifies.
Coulda went with murder trains or something less racist, really. Pretty fucked up dude.
Suuuree suuure which evil fascist dictator did it is really the point, ignore the “fascist” bit, that’s in the past, and ignore the “current” bit too because that would be admitting you have a problem and you can’t do that, you have to pretend you’re perfect, because you have nothing going for you other than white aryan Europeen “supremacy.”
You’re a reactionary, nationalistic, delusional, and seemingly racist person, seek help.
Coulda went with murder trains or something less racist, really. Pretty fucked up dude.
I don’t think having trains specialised to murder people in makes much difference to using cattle wagons to transport people to camps specialised to murder people in. In the grand scheme of things, in both cases you’re still constructing something specifically to murder people in.
Oh no, plenty bad happens here. Just that when comparing to the problems the US has… Yeah, it’s a good reminder of how well everything works over here, despite the problems.
Of course, plenty of good happens here too, it’s just that it doesn’t fit the “if it bleeds it leads” business model so you never hear about it. Some areas here are just as safe as some areas of europe, some areas of europe are just as unsafe as some areas here.
This may surprise you to learn, but the US is comparable to the size of the entire EU, and as a result there are similar variances in safety between the two.
Er, I mean, US GOOD EUROPE BAD. Did I fill my role correctly there after that silly nuance break?
The US is overall a shithole masquerading as a first world country, only on the basis that the US is lucky enough to have had Europe use the dollar to rebuild after WWII. You’d have to squint incredibly hard to find any place comparable to Europe in the US, and then you’d still be stuck with car centric neighbourhoods and healthcare that’ll put you in a life debt for stubbing your toe.
Curious to see how Putin spins this. He’s very committed to the Ukraine gambit and dividing force strength wouldn’t likely be in his favor at this point, so this seems off brand for a false flag. Or it’s more of the local terror groups taking advantage of the fact that they are focused on Ukraine.
My guess: unresolved national tensions and probable separatism seeds + weakness of the state in the last year (Prigo’s march, Krokus, buryatian demonstrations against jailing a known activist) + 24\7 stream of hatred on TV + jealousy of more autonomous and supported regions. That’s not like there wasn’t any violence here, but recently it became more apparent with Mahachkala’s airport being crowded by a mob of locals to ‘meet’ people who arrived from Israel. This place becomes more dangerous and as you pointed out Moskow would likely ignore it. And it’s too random for a false flag, I believe.
If I’m to guess based off your username, you probably have a lot better understanding of the Caucasus than I do. Thank you for your views.
Having just done a little research, I see Dagestan is high majority Muslim too, I can see that also adding some stress between them and the Orthodoxy common in the rest of Russia/it’s government. And give separatists a lever to push on.
Yes, the Soviet union collapsed under a lot of internal pressure and strive. And when the Soviet army was overextended and the government could no longer control their Empire. Losing in Afghanistan showed internal forces that the bear was not unbeatable.
I think it is safe to say that the Russian empire is getting more than a bloody nose in Ukraine.
So in this case there will be plenty of parties that have a bone to pick with the Russian empire and see the Russian army is … well … Busy.
It mentions that the right wants to limit immigration in response, but is that a non sequitor? Like the article doesn’t say anything about the crime being done by immigrants or their descendants. Like is that true? Who knows, the article doesn’t address it.
Mexican Agriculture Minister Victor Villalobos also participated in the meeting. He suggested that in future Mexican inspectors could take the place of the U.S. personnel who currently handle the checks.
I wonder how much of a kickback Victor gets for looking the other way.
This article doesn’t cover it (specifically) so I went digging to see if this might compete with weight loss drugs as well:
Victoza (liraglutide) is also used to treat obesity. While it was originally approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, it has also been approved under the brand name Saxenda for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or who are overweight with at least one weight-related condition such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or dyslipidemia. Saxenda and Victoza contain the same active ingredient, liraglutide, but they are marketed and dosed differently depending on the indication.
Google said:
As of April 2024, the list price for a 30-day supply of Saxenda (liraglutide) is around $1,350, but the actual cost can range from $1,590 to $1,656 without insurance or discounts.
Lol, in Europe Saxenda costs around 100 per box. Victoza and other versions for diabetics are even cheaper, as they are subsidized by health insurance (while Saxenda is not).
But how else can the poor widdwe phawmaceuticaw congwomewate affowd to lobby government and aggressively market our crap to overpaid private healthcare companies so we can keep overcharging the fuck out of drugs we can make for pennies do aww ouw impowtant weseawch that’s paid for by taxpayers with subsidies and grants.
What many of us don’t know, is that the majority of people sent to the meat grinder in Ukraine is from peripheral regions like Dagestan, and not from central Russia (e.g. Moscow). These are different cultures and ethnicities subjugated by the Russian “empire”. And some of them are sick of being killed for the “emperor”, which can lead to unrest and maybe a civil war, like it did in many similar situations in history.
