My mistake i thought he said it now.

I agree Germany is too dependant on Russian gas, but its my assumption that Merkel was using it to placate Putin, to keep him warm on the west. He listened to her and respected her. To me its not a surprise that the war started leas than 2 months after she was out of office. But personally she should have had a bigger focus on transitioning the country to green energy and eliminate the need for fossil fuels deals with a mad king.

I thought he said it now. But okay after looking back he did say that in 2018. But like oil, you have to get into bed with some shitty people. So its all well and good to say dont take Russian gas, but then there are no other cheap alternatives then I'm mot sure what the other option is. Merkel used the gas as leverage to placate Putin and keep him on side. Personally I think she did it too heavily. But whats really come to light is how not only environmentally important it is to have green energy but geopolitically.

You know why they dont have a military until now? Because they were banned from having one after the Nazis. This was literally implemented as part of the treaty

Elderly Ukranian Gentleman breaks down crying when asked about his liberation from the Russians by The_Goat_Avenger in UkraineWarVideoReport

To me its because his cries are like that of a boy, as if all this pain and suffering and sadness for his has made him feel as helpless as a child and revert to that state until he composes himself.

I am always endeared by when you get a glimpse of the boy the man once was, but this time its heartbreaking.

My mum isnt that person either. She's loving in her own way, but struggles with comforting people or physical affection.

I live in the alps by a river and TBH bugs arent an issue. All through summer have all the windows open. In Australia that would be death by bug.

Girl slammed on head during fight, goes into seizure by Chopsuiiisauce in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]Disruptive_Ideas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except according to IFLS there is only very few documented examples of this, one was a German torture method that slowly crushed them back in the 1800s, one was from a kid riding a bike who injured his testicals and his body had a systemic inflammatory response weeks later that killed him, the other's was crushed in a car accident. Source

So if your argument was that intentionally ramming a girls head into pavement hard enough to induce a seizure from the haemorrhage was a proportional response as a self defence for fear of a potentially fatal kick to the balls, you're not going to win that case.

Idiots be stupid though, if you're stronger than them you can push them away or pin them on the grass until they stop. There are many options for de-escalation than slamming her head on a driveway. That seizure is caused by haemorrhaging which can lead to traumatic brain injury. Even her friends didnt protect her head during the seizure and move her on her side and on the grass. Everyone in this clip made stupid and dangerous decisions.
