In an un-fucking-believable move, the Americans stopped sharing intelligence and disabled Starlink’s military services, rendering Ukraine completely defenseless against Russian ballistic missiles just prior to a major attack.
This coming shortly after the US essentially negated its economic sanctions on Russian diesel and once again pressured Kyiv to unilaterally cease its attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, even as Russia ramps up their own attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
Trump is now publically aiding the Russians in their aggression against Ukraine and Europe
I’ve been dumbfounded at the US since the start of the year but I think this marks the moment where they are openly on Russia’s side against the West. Dangerous times. I’m rather worried at where this is going.
No, that’s a totally believable move. The American government are terrotists that have the American people held hostage. They will now do whatever they want regardless- and oftentimes to spite what the American people want.
Thank you for not seeing an entire nation as the worst of their parts. I’m trapped in the basement, but I’m trying the best I can. Many people far better than I are doing the same.
Blaming all the people in a nation on the acts of a runaway government is ignorance on display. Just like how all of the Russian citizens don’t support Putin, just like all of Germany didn’t support hitler.
People nowadays seem to have very little time for nuanced thought, and it’s just easier to all-or-nothing a situation because thinking can be hard sometimes.
Bro, every time I try to mention nuance on the internet, I’m immediately the bad guy.
Like I’m autistic as fuck, so I can be pretty rigid in the way I think, so I get, like, why people can be that way.
But like on the internet its like half of everyone is just borderline personality about everything. Like it’s fun to split people or some shit. Which hurts me to say, because BPD is… complex shit itself.
High highs become the lowest of lows. Bpd ain’t no joke. One day, you’ll wake up after dreaming about pulling glass shards from your feet and just suddenly be too tired to ramp up. It’s not a great feeling, but it’s much easier maybe. Then you just use whatever energy you have left to try. Because you have to. Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes it isn’t. You won’t have those soaring moments of clarity and hope, or the valley of despair. It’ll just be questions and trying, so learn how to remember or make something that reminds you that you once had the other sides.
The middle isn’t pretty, but it works. Or not. I recommend occasionally feeding the beast when you reach the middle.
Same. And while my ASD can also make me pretty rigid, I also know that the world we live in exists almost entirely within the grey area that lies between the polarizing black and white that everyone cannot see past.
And what bothers me the most about it is how rapidly it seems to be getting worse.
Just wait 'till they dash down into their holes like the vermin that they are, only to find out many of us bribed the staff not to tell them about the toilets we upperdecked and the 200000000000 pillows we be-farted and left mints upon.
I have empathy, but I’m not perfect. I’ve said fuck Ruzzia & fuck Israel myself. It’s hard not to, when you see what’s happening…but we only see what they want us to see these days, in many ways. They only allow us to feel what we do because it plays into some sick narrative … I’ve seen entire countries, cultures & religions blamed for injustices & atrocities, and now this burden has come back to haunt those who used it as a weapon. The people are simply hostages in an agenda that would drive you insane if you knew the truth of.
You’re absolutely welcome my friend! We all could use some encouraging words. Now more than ever. And I totally get the reference. It seems at every turn, there’s someone there to tell you you’ve done something wrong, or think something wrong. But remember, while in the hive, you’ve little to do but comply-
We do it all the time. We hate all Russians because of Putin. We hate all Israelis because of Netanyahu. Why wouldn’t the world hate all Americans because of Trump?
I’m all for equivocation and nuance, but I must admit it’s really hard to get over the fact he was voted in twice. The danger signals were displayed loud and clear, and the US populace went “Yep, after the trial period, this is the guy for us”. Forgive me if that put a major dent in my trust in anything American.
You’re a lot more optimistic about humanity than I am.
Fear and religious superiority is why the average Israelite supports Netanyahu. Apathy and a desire for racial superiority is why the average Russian tends to support Putin. Racism, sexism, and a desire to make their mediocre lives matter are why majority of American supported Trump.
what in the ever loving fuck are you talking about? All throughout history, anytime humanity has had the chance to do the right thing we’ve done the opposite even now no one global warming and climate change are on the horizon, we have data centers, sucking up water and electricity compound in the greenhouse effect.
We live in a time of prosperity yet the richer adamant about hoarding as much as humanly possible and making things worse for everyone else.
Racism has been proven to be a social construct and not even a real thing yet multiple country still use it as a baseline for economics, relationships, and social liberties.
It’s also been proven that women have a lot to offer and have the right to make up their own decisions and minds yet here we are, still going out of our way to establish patriarchy.
Ive been going about this all wrong. Let’s not just dunk Trump in Boston harbor and haul him off to international criminal court. We need the whole gang. And a better form of justice. Fuck prison and fuck capital punishment.
Make them watch us make the world a better place, without them. They can be free, but never again shall they know power.
Most American Conservatives have no idea what Russian style policy is, or what life, even for “middle class” Russians is like.
They are passive, lazy and infantile people that just go along with whatever their peers and their media diet (Fox News, Talk Radio, Facebook, and now mass media) spoon feeds them.
The core of these people were always either racist or greedy or tolerant of racists for some other idiotic or bigoted reason.
This is what happens when you have a society of overly “soft” and spoiled people. People that have basically never experienced hardship for 2, 3 or 4 generations.
America happens to be the most powerful and most culturally dominant country right now, but this isn’t a special thing. It is human nature and America is just ahead of the curve.
Centrist politics are going up in smoke across the western world and liberals still refuse to see that their rigid adherence to the status quo has failed to address the issues of the day. They’ll never accept their contribution to the resurgence of fascism.
Yeah, trump announced he would do this many times during the election (and his first term). The american people chose this. Twice. At least there is no war in the middle east…
Actually trump lied and said an end to all wars and no new ones. Kamala on the other hand campaigned with Liz cheny and promised to have the most lethal military on the planet.
Very true. Also, every single spit-flinging accusation from magas has turned out to be pretty much what they were already doing, would do, or were planning to do.
… And they were BIG on accusing their opponents of cheating and rigging elections…

If I was a secret world ruling oligarch i’d want nations against each other
otherwise they might notice me and all my bunkers

Pink eye for eternity
Imagine this if you will:
An entire society of elites, forced underground only to find out the Virtual Reality they invested in can’t be seen due to permanent pink eye.
A mole-like parasitic society haunted by ghosts stolen, trained upon the very things that hated them the most.
An artificial intelligence that would continue to exist because they couldn’t make new sequels to GTA without it.
A ghost.
All of this, beloved readers…would grow to haunt them like screams in the darkness.
I have empathy, but I’m not perfect. I’ve said fuck Ruzzia & fuck Israel myself. It’s hard not to, when you see what’s happening…but we only see what they want us to see these days, in many ways.

Well said.
Thank you. Caring in modern society is like walking through razor-wire.
I think I needed to hear your words today.
I mean it, thank you.

You should see my lawn. It’s not much but I have a wild fox that visits. The bees and so many other things are here as well. All free.
I have plenty of love to give and so much to learn. It’s really nice to have a genuine human connection, on the Internet, with a complete stranger.
Lurkers, watch and melt with love!
We do it all the time. We hate all Russians because of Putin. We hate all Israelis because of Netanyahu. Why wouldn’t the world hate all Americans because of Trump?
Human nature.

I don’t hate Russians because of Putin. I don’t hate Isrealis because of Netanyahu.
I hate Putin. I hate Netanyahu. I hate Trump. I hate Xi Jinping. I hate Lukenshenko. I hate Kim Jong Un. Dictators.
I do hate people that believe they have superiority over anyone.
You’re a lot more optimistic about humanity than I am.
Fear and religious superiority is why the average Israelite supports Netanyahu. Apathy and a desire for racial superiority is why the average Russian tends to support Putin. Racism, sexism, and a desire to make their mediocre lives matter are why majority of American supported Trump.
Ignorance isn’t human nature.
I disagree. It very much is human nature.
My nature is curiosity & I am incredibly human.
Explain how fire was carried forward?
Did “Urk” walk into a cave whilst on fire and into “Groka’s” twignest?
No.
“Urk” stole “Groka” away from “Brantley” because motherfucking “Urk” had flint & steel and knew how to motherfucking use it!
“Brantley” was too busy groaning about how many trips it took him to carry twigs to the twignest.

Facts.

American conservatives hate Ukraine because their media has trained them to do so.
American conservatives have a greater affinity for Russian style domestic and foreign policy than they do with liberal democracy.
This is what American conservatives want. They want conservative chauvinism to bowl over the “leftist, globalist” world order with violence and abuse.
Most American Conservatives have no idea what Russian style policy is, or what life, even for “middle class” Russians is like.
They are passive, lazy and infantile people that just go along with whatever their peers and their media diet (Fox News, Talk Radio, Facebook, and now mass media) spoon feeds them.

They did the same thing last year, Ukraine and Europe has been preparing for this happening
Which I do feel is glossed over. Europe knew it was coming. Putin is cashing in his influence to make it one more day.
How much will it hurt Ukraine? We can only find out.
2/3rds of the country endorsed this, or decided they were okay with it happening and did nothing to stop it.
And no, im not calling it Stockholm Syndrome when that’s total BS made up to cover for incompetent negotiators and hostage rescue.
Yep. MAGA, non-voters, and 3rd party voters opened this door.
3rd party voters are not the problem buddy, Capitalism is.
Two things can be true
Centrist politics are going up in smoke across the western world and liberals still refuse to see that their rigid adherence to the status quo has failed to address the issues of the day. They’ll never accept their contribution to the resurgence of fascism.
Found the Maga enabling tankie.
Lol. Make sure to vote for Gavin Newsome come election time buddy, I’m sure there’s no way a neoliberal corporate ghoul can lose against trump again 😂
ROFL! Here’s one now!!
Yeah, trump announced he would do this many times during the election (and his first term). The american people chose this. Twice. At least there is no war in the middle east…
Actually trump lied and said an end to all wars and no new ones. Kamala on the other hand campaigned with Liz cheny and promised to have the most lethal military on the planet.
He said he would stop supporting Ukraine, and he did. Krasnov is slow but he gets there at the end.
🙄
idk at this point, those data centers going out sure makes it seem like there are a lot less maga than what appeared
Very true. Also, every single spit-flinging accusation from magas has turned out to be pretty much what they were already doing, would do, or were planning to do.
… And they were BIG on accusing their opponents of cheating and rigging elections…
Not very true, you people swallowed propaganda hook line and sinker, lol.
No, it didn’t.
Such a specific way to sabotage Ukraine. They didn’t shut down access, just made it so their weapons didn’t work.
Those are the same thing. Ukraine wasn’t using it to shit post on X.
You can’t think of another way a country would need internet access other than high speed drones and shit posting?
Even worse that they did it not just without warning, but without even a “hey we shut you off”. Just, system switch cut off.
And as others have said, not even remotely surprising at this point.
