I like to believe there was a transitionary period where Russia was a super power. Maybe its my failing memory but, they were a near peer to the united states not too long ago. Now the united states isn’t even a super power so theres that.

Alls I’m saying is times are changing and nations can make the wrong decision.

I accept how hair brained it may sound. I just know Ukraine is doing very well up against a super power, may they continue to do so.

They have the capabilities to supply and train others. Will they? Dunno.

They would be conducting business with another party. It would serve their economic interests to supply and train other groups.

Again, I hope they aren’t but they seem to be the dominant power in the drone business. Thankfully they are fucking up Russian forces with it but, the tides of war can change and they (like any nation) could have interests that don’t align with international peace.

I hope I’m wrong with my hunch.

Right, its been a tool for a while now. The motives may have changed, I’m just spitballing.

Countries are going to act in their own best interests. If it benefits them why wouldn’t they?

True, hopefully its not Ukraine supplying the drones. They’ve gotten very good at it.

I have no facts to back this up but I think its a false flag from the new president.

Me thinks he wants a heavy handed approach to ELN and this is how he plans to manufacture a war for himself.

Its the AfD so you’re prolly better off picking up Russian.

The state remains a repressive organization. The people of Iran’s struggle is two fold from my perspective.

A tyrannical reactionary theocracy to resist from within and, an extremely well funded hegemonic imperialist force from without.

I don’t mind the name. It’s pride month so I figure the community would turn the silly up a notch.

Im not a tech person but, I’m gonna try it out. Thanks OP.

I have no idea what happens if you don’t but, next administration might be competent. I wouldn’t wanna find out under people who actually know what they’re doing.

Much edgy.

Maybe later, for now I have petty culturally unpopular positions that I will maintain. They are few but they are mine.

This exchange reminds me of the last boondocks episode.

Eh, I use it for very stupid people. Obviously devoid of ableist intent.

I feel as though the context matters with this. For the genuinely evil and criminally unintelligent I would use the clinical “Mentally retarded”.

“Retard” and music (low volume) on buses are the controversial hills I’m willing to die on.

Incredible, they really don’t want people looking further into those Epstein files.

Kinda the only jobs that make sense in this kinda economy. The west seems more focused on AI while other countries actually make things.

Huh, I wonder what this means for international law? Who am I kidding that doesn’t apply to the US government.

Are you offering?
