Madagascar’s always the hardest to wipe out in that Pandemic game, if that helps :P

If you go to New Zealand, you’ll have to deal with the shithead billionaires there who will have moved there a few days ahead of you, (since they’ll get extra warning of course), who will have moved already into the fortress-bunkers they’ve been making for a decade or so there.

It should be a life mission of anyone in New Zealand, when the time comes, to find out where their air systems reach the surface and throw a few grenades down the ducts. For the good of humanity (whatever’s left).

I had not heard of Jackett and to be honest haven’t really looked into aggregators. Will look into it, thank you.

1337x.to has good torrents/magnets in my experience, but def. use ad blocking. On mobile clicking almost anything tries to redirect or pop something up.

Exactly. Europe should see all Canada’s steel and aluminum as a godsend for all the tanks, vehicles, and guns they’re going to need to build and use to stop Russia.

… and, he understands that every new tariff threat tanks the US stock market briefly, so he & his masters can sell first, ‘buy the dip’ a day or so later and make quick profits as the market recovers. Blatant manipulation.

Good luck – E. Jean Carroll just kept getting excuses to re-sue him, which was hilarious, since he just could. not. resist. defaming her when legally ordered not to. :). The man seems absolutely compelled to double-down on his disrespect if he is pressured to act like a decent person. He just can’t resist trying to “assert dominance” or something.

Carney should formally demand Krasnov “say Thank You” for our water, oil, wood, steel, potash and aluminum, before we drop tariffs. Heh.

EDIT: Vance, too. He should have to say Thank You, on the air, on Fox ‘News’, before we drop tariffs.

Well he really must hate those filthy neutrals.

That’s great! Ukraine, make sure the wording of any agreement mentions specific rare-earth elements, none of which you actually have; then make a good show of being cowed and agree to “50% of all the rare-earth minerals on this list, thank you USA moar weapons now plz”.

Let Krasnov waste his time and hold his little baby press-conference; the world can hold back its laughter until the ink on the contract is dry. If it means Ukraine gets the help it truly needs, hopefully in 4 years this madness will be over and the agreement will remain as worthless to the US as it appears to be.

Uh… how about neither then? False dilemma argument.

Exactly – the threat of tariffs – and annexation! – must not only stop, but be refuted forever by a new treaty, signed by the US. Promising both will stop, for good, is the only remedy now.

Too late now, but if every US child had been required to visit a death camp and take a semester of WWII history (actual version, not some Texas-schoolbook division approved, neutered/revisionist one) maybe we wouldn’t be here today.

Can someone make a filter that auto-converts x.com links to xcancel.com? No need to give the fascist grand vizier extra clicks. (Scary map BTW - BC, AB, SK each split into north and south states?)

Dunno about docker setup, but I mirror github repos I worry may disappear automatically using my self-hosted gogs instance. (Gitea/Forgejo likely also can do it). It’s point-and-click, you just specify the github URL and check a box “this is a mirror”.

Hey don’t forget to look for the maple leaf on those products too! :)

Or, you know… just slide us Canucks right into the EU, if you please. ASAP.

It’s not senseless and it’s not capitulation, it’s collaboration and it makes perfect sense to him, since he is doing it intentionally. Krasnov is a traitor to the USA and the entire Western world.

If I recall correctly, Trump had his hand on no book at all during his vows this inauguration. (Too lazy tp find the pic). Isn’t that legally significant? Not that anything at all seems to matter in that respect anymore…

Wait, so you’re blaming NATO for the current situation? Oh boy. I’m done here.

I know how dangerous it sounds. But every time Russia moves the line,the rest of the world is supposed to fall back? Moving arms into NATO countries sends a message, but it isn’t starting a war. Putin’s the one who actually invaded another country. Merely reinforcing defences is NOT starting the war. He started it and doesn’t want to die in a nuclear war any more than we do. So he’d complain bitterly but wouldn’t DARE make a move against it. Why hasn’t he already just nuked Ukraine (even ‘just a few’ tactical nukes?) if he believed he could ever survive doing so?

OK, but regardless of who supplies them, if Ukraine had a few under their own control, for better or worse it would give them a deterrent they never should have been swindled into letting go of. Sucks, but it seems any nation that doesn’t have nukes is at an extreme disadvantage in defending its sovereignty.

In fact, I think it would be worth it to put a few nukes in every NATO nation bordering Russia or its smaller, unprotected ex-satellites. Putin will grandstand about it but is he really going to start WWIII on it? If he was willing to do so, he already would have when other nations began sending conventional military aid to Ukraine. His bluff needs to be called and he needs to be forced to back down.
