Maybe they can help us out and take down Lemmygrad while they’re at it

lemmyshmemmy ,

What’s a sub? Just kidding… this one is for joking about national defense, mostly related to the 35 countries in NATO and their enemies/frenemies.

Sometimes people actually know their shit and the discussion gets more credible, but most of the time it’s along the lines of “what if we strapped 20 kilos of explosive reactive armor to the windshield of a Blackhawk to protect the pilots from drones🤔”

lemmyshmemmy ,

I’m so thankful for Wikipedia.

lemmyshmemmy ,

Sounds like they’re working. Good.

lemmyshmemmy ,

First time in my lifetime I’ve seen the US military might truly used for something good.

lemmyshmemmy ,

I wouldn’t call it anything yet, Ukrainians haven’t even used the bulk of their fresh troops and equipment.

lemmyshmemmy ,

No doubt it’s complicated, but some key factors are

  • Availability of ammunition (cluster munitions may help here)
  • Destroying artillery before advancing (the daily numbers have been looking good)
  • Removing mines before advancing
  • Disabling logistics (e.g. strikes on bridges, warehouses)
  • Waiting for a lucky opportunity

It doesn’t cost them much to do things slowly, but keeping the Kremlin on its toes and embarrassed is good. The longer Ukraine holds on, the more equipment they get, like F-16s, Abrams, and ATACMS.

lemmyshmemmy ,

How is this different from someone saying “let’s just give Hitler Poland”

Are you saying the Ukrainians should stop fighting? Is that what you would do if someone invaded your home?

lemmyshmemmy ,

Why would countries just ignore global authoritarian threats

lemmyshmemmy ,

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarianism?wprov=sfla…

lemmyshmemmy ,

No.

lemmyshmemmy ,

Hold on just a minute while I base my worldview on YouTube…

lemmyshmemmy ,

For one thing, this is a violent land grab. For another, this the effort and will of what… 50 countries? Vs about five: China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela. And those 50 countries are on average much more democratic than Russia and it’s allies.

lemmyshmemmy ,

What is a “global authoritarian”?

lemmyshmemmy ,

Yup.

lemmyshmemmy ,

criminalizing being black

Not much fun or use “debating” someone who says this kind of thing.

lemmyshmemmy ,

Yes and do you understand what they mean?

lemmyshmemmy ,

The second best time to plant a tree

lemmyshmemmy ,

No, the world really doesn’t stand with Russia, if you have any understanding of international relations you would see that. Even the countries that have voted to support Russia are represented by relatively authoritarian governments.

lemmyshmemmy ,

2,622. In Connect it showed me when I clicked your username.

lemmyshmemmy ,

I’m more concerned about the intense German nationalism

lemmyshmemmy ,

Yes and so is Chinese nationalism.

lemmyshmemmy ,

Yeah, if there was an actual war with Russia vs all the NATO countries, they’d only be able to sail from Murmansk and way over near Vladivostok

lemmyshmemmy ,

“We just want to play fair” said the largest state sponsor of corporate espionage

lemmyshmemmy ,

What a quality shitpost. Slightly offensive, low effort, random unexplained reference, 21st century punchline.

Italy investigates Placebo singer for calling far-right PM ‘racist’ and ‘fascist’ (www.theguardian.com)

Meloni heads Italy’s most rightwing government since the second world war. Italy’s criminal code punishes with a fine ranging from €1,000 to €5,000 anyone who “publicly defames the republic”, which includes the government, parliament, the courts and the army.

lemmyshmemmy ,

Pretty much. Shame in the Italian government for this:

Italy’s criminal code punishes with a fine ranging from €1,000 to €5,000 (£858 to £4,290) anyone who “publicly defames the republic”, which includes the government, parliament, the courts and the army.

lemmyshmemmy ,

If the goal were to instill fear in Russian citizens, they’d be attacking Russian citizens

For example, like the Kremlin is bombing Ukrainian apartment buildings and murdering civilians.

lemmyshmemmy ,

Did you read your own source?

The current conclusion of the State Department lawyers does not constitute a judgment that genocide did not occur in Xinjiang, but it reflects the difficulties of proving genocide, read the report.

lemmyshmemmy ,

God I hate Lemmygrad propaganda.

lemmyshmemmy ,

I think it would absolutely make a difference.

lemmyshmemmy ,

Dealing with the Kremlin is like dealing with teenagers. They threw a tantrum because their bridge got attacked now they’re pretending pulling out of the deal was because of something else.

lemmyshmemmy ,

The US, meaning the biggest economy in the world by far? I’m sure their economists have no idea what they’re doing.

lemmyshmemmy ,

Pulling a page from the CCP playbook

lemmyshmemmy ,

Economically? Yes. Better than Europe, BRICS.

If someone wants to criticize the US for it’s heavy focus on capitalism and assorted social problems, sure, but the US economy is absolutely massive and regularly produces products and concepts adopted internationally.

lemmyshmemmy ,

The US is currently doing well relative to many other major economies, including Europe. Look at the growth of the US economy vs Europe in the last decade.

Saying the US doesn’t have good economists is just wrong. It’s one of the things they’re quite good at, for better or worse.

lemmyshmemmy ,

Ahhhh a good ol’ mask fight. It’s been ~~too long ~~not nearly looking enough

lemmyshmemmy ,

“Our toasters, really? I always knew that little bastard was up to something”

lemmyshmemmy ,

Shame on South Africa for supporting that terrorist.

lemmyshmemmy ,

Plus terrible for privacy

lemmyshmemmy ,

Thanks for that. I didn’t sell my accounts for the same reason. I’m happy to see reddit burn, but selling my accounts to be used for propaganda or marketing some crappy product… nah

TIL Alice Walton (Walmart heir) killed a pedestrian in a driving accident and was never charged. She has also been arrested for DUI twice but never charged. (en.wikipedia.org)

The sketchy part is not her not getting convicted. It’s that no charges were even filed. I also enjoyed this bit of info from one of the sources regarding the other DUI incident. Prosecutors in Texas have dropped a 2011 drunken driving citation against Wal-Mart Stores Inc. heiress Alice Walton.

lemmyshmemmy ,

She really looks creepy. I guess once you’re that weathy you’re relatively isolated from authentic social interaction and start getting a little fucked in the head.

lemmyshmemmy ,

Cops have helped me.

lemmyshmemmy ,

I think a lot of the current wave of cop hate in the US is driven by state actors on social media. The Kremlin and CCP want to exacerbate tensions in the US and Europe, so they develop extremism on social media in order to divide people.

lemmyshmemmy ,

Weird source, obvious bias.

lemmyshmemmy ,

And now Erdogan is saying Turkey will escort grain ships to the strait… we’ll see.

lemmyshmemmy ,

True. I really doubt Russia wants to attack a Turkish ship in this situation, but we’ll see.

lemmyshmemmy ,

I wish.

lemmyshmemmy ,

As soon as I saw the comment I thought “Lemmygrad”?
