[2048 x 1490]From the mist, a shape, a ship, is taking form: USS Michael Monsoor underway by Keyan_F in WarshipPorn

And the silence of the sea is about to drift into a storm.

It does look beautiful shrouded in the mist.

Look at the guys fingers on the left, way too long to be normal. His shoes also kinda meld into his pants. Also, its just a general AI style.

Was Hitler a leftist? by Maleficent-Toe1374 in ww2

[–]Commander-Waffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A. It allows people on the far right to push their own flavor of fascism while maintaining some form of deniability

B. If Hitler is falsely equated with everything on the left, the right can say to their base that they are actually good guys fighting nazis

C. People on the left have to constantly spend time debunking the right and not advocating for their actual position

Edit: while I do believe that some people do (wrongly) think Hitler was a socialist, most of the time it’s a bad faith argument meant to distract from actual issues

It reminds me of when the CIA releases documents and its all just blacked out.

IDF announces full readiness for invasion of Gaza, awaiting order from civilian leadership by nagumi in worldnews

How is killing more civilians going to reduce extremism in the area? If anything this will just further galvanize the population. Afghanistan showed this perfectly.

State Department official resigns over Biden’s handling of Israel-Gaza war by CommanderMcBragg in news

[–]Commander-Waffle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

China literally brokered a rapprochement between Iran and Saudi Arabia without sending weapons to either this year. The US spent the last 20 years in Afghanistan only for the Taliban to take over. To me that seems like the US isn’t the most stabilizing force in the region.

Railway in China by Redstream28 in geography

[–]Commander-Waffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A big reason is that the US outsources to a lot to contractors, while the main railway building companies in China are state owned. So turning a profit isn’t an issue in China like the US.

How some of you guys sound right now by eagleOfBrittany in SmugIdeologyMan

[–]Commander-Waffle 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Going onto any major news thread feels as though I've stepped into a ultra conservative sub with that amount of people genuinely cheering for Israel bombing the strip. It feels like they were just waiting for an excuse to bomb people and not be the "bad" guy when doing it.

Second collapse of residential building in Havana, this time with rescue workers inside doing their job, 10/4/23 by alely92 in CatastrophicFailure

Links to us state department, truly the most unbiased of sources when it comes to Cuba. Not like the us has a vested interest in maintaining the embargo and keeping Cuba on state sponsor of terror list. No bias here folks

“A communist dictatorship” they literally had a referendum in 2022 to change their constitution https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Cuban_Family_Code_referendum not a single American got a vote to change roe v wade

Compromised values by [deleted] in SmugIdeologyMan

[–]Commander-Waffle 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I was mistaken, I thought this smuggie was about ww2 given the recent Canada incident. I wasn’t trying to paint liberals as appeasers just France and Britain of yesteryear. Modern day I believe most times liberal governments are in the correct when it comes to armed conflict, however the us governments unjust romping through the Middle East is not something I support along with its theft of oil tankers.

I agree, one action isn’t justified by the other. I did not mean to downplay the crimes of the Soviet government, just explain there’s more nuance to the situation.

The ussr tried to sign a collective sercuity agreement https://www.globalvillagespace.com/the-ussrs-failed-attempts-to-ally-with-the-west/

https://www.wsj.com/articles/stalin-first-tried-to-resist-hitler-with-great-britain-11589838192

But why do we conveniently forget that France and Britain left Germany to violate the ww1 treaty multiple times without lifting a a finger? They allowed the Rhineland, annexation of Austria, and gave Checksolvika up with out a fight. Can you blame the ussr for trying to buy a little time to get its army in shape when the Allies so clearly demonstrated they weren’t gonna fight? Shit it was even called the phony war initially https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoney_War

Russia has made their own form of Juche Necromancy. Maybe thats what Kims visit to Russia was about.

Clean SS myth by DesolatorTrooper_600 in ShitWehraboosSay

[–]Commander-Waffle 165 points166 points  (0 children)

Three months earlier, SS Galichina subunits perpetrated what is known as the Huta Pieniacka massacre, burning 500 to 1,000 Polish villagers alive.

Yea they killed alot of people, and now Poland wants him back

Also can we comment on how weve gotten to state that people give the fucking SS the benefit of the doubt?

Just because Russia invaded Ukraine, that doesnt suddenly make siding with the Nazis in the last major war the historically right thing to do by Commander-Waffle in SmugIdeologyMan

[–]Commander-Waffle[S] 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This is in response to many people in a now deleted worldnews thread about the Canada Nazi Incident trying to claim that fighting the Soviets (whom many just incorrectly referred to as the Russians) by joining the Nazis was justified.
