They’d be stupid if they weren’t. There’s a hot war involving a global / regional power happening on their border and the best way to keep it on the other side is to be prepared to repel any and all boarders.
Umm…I hate to be the one to break it to you: see, there is this country called Ukraine. Small place. Next to Poland. Also next to Russia. Ukraine and Russia are currently, how should I put it…they are having a MASSIVE FUCKING WAR rn. So their neighbors are preparing for the inevitability it will spill over into Europe and Middle East.
It’s astonishing you managed to be so fucking toxic without adding nothing new to the discussion and without even understanding the context of this decision.
After Wagner PMC tried they small coup, Putin or whoever it was, ordered them to be stationed in Belarus, and many of these mercenary troops are actually quite close to Poland’s borders. This and the fact Russia is moving part of its nuclear arsenal to Belarus triggered Poland into moving massive numbers of military assets to its borders recently.
Before reading, I initially thought that maybe there was a reason like she could have mental health issues or that she could be just someone extremely incompetent at her job… But the more you read, the more this makes me want to vomit… It’s truly sickening!
She’s essentially a serial killer so I was looking into her past. Her parents were extremely over bearing, clingy and guilt trippers who were always smothering her, so I’m sure that contributed, but there’s gotta be more in her past that led her to this.
Exactly. They still can’t point to a person and say “This person will kill and this one won’t”. It seems to require a confluence of a number of things. A violent childhood, a socially stunted development, opportunity, a lack of empathy and a psychopathic mentality, an ability to compartmentalize (good family man at home, violent psycho outside of it). Even then it still isn’t a guarantee.
But that’s not helpful, it might be true in some sense but then it is for everything - would you rather wallow in hate or try to understand and prevent similar things happening in the future?
Some people can be born with effectively broken brains.
Take any trait, generosity, comedic ability, levels of empathy, etc. All of these traits can be modulated by DNA (and epigenetics of course). It only makes sense that out of the millions of babies born, some baby will come with little ability to experience empathy. That baby could grow up to take pleasure in sick things, to grow into a sadist.
To be clear, by broken brains I’m not referring to learning disabilities or people who disagree with me etc. I’m referring to brains that cannot function in society due to an accident of birth – brains that have effectively chosen a life strategy incompatible with with the stable society the rest of our brains have chosen.
Also to be clear, those people with broken brains?.. They are mostly in positions of power.
This is only true if you’re a firm believer in all nature, no nurture.
I didn’t claim “nurture” is not a thing, nor do I think the existence of “nurture” negates my claims.
I think while rare, an effective psychopath (I say effective because I’m not doctor diagnosing someone but I mean the same thing) could grow up to not be a sadist given certain other traits and a positive environment. A smart psychopath that doesn’t want to die in prison and had nice parents could decide that acting in a manner compatible with society will get them what they want more than the alternatives.
That phrase is a bit of a grey area based on context and can be both highly bigoted and offensive if used in the context of hate speech and / or discrimination
People should get their news for things like this from local government agencies. Say RSS right on the government sites. If people even need to go to social media for it then the government is dialing in its own duties.
States and local governments are designating millions of dollars for overdose reversal drugs, addiction treatment medication, and wound care vans for people with infections from injecting drugs. But law enforcement departments are receiving opioid settlement money for policing resources like new cruisers, overtime pay for narcotics investigators, phone-hacking equipment, body scanners to detect drugs on inmates and restraint devices.
Wait, you mean this isn’t what was intended? Phone hacking gear will reduce addiction, I’m sure of it. /s
Resentment towards elites who sold us all on a bunch of bullshit. The elites have failed us in nearly every way and that in turn made it easy for a populist like Trump to step in and start telling the lies that a certain demographic wants to hear.
Mind you, I’m not saying that it makes any logical sense, I’m just explaining what I believe happened, or at least a big part of it.
Oh I definitely feel that resentment and it has certainly made me a worse person. The wealthy have done a smash & grab on our economies and it’s been destroying livelihoods.
Where I feel like we’ve become stupid as a species is placing our trust in filthy rich corrupt oligarchs. Many of the politicians we elect are basically getting lobbyist handjobs from big corporations.
Reason #286 to never own a god damned stupid Tesla.
Cars are required to have manual releases by law; it’s just shitty how Tesla appears to be skirting those rules by hiding these manual releases behind inconvenient placements and locations…which is going to get people killed someday when one of these damn things catch fire.
