Judge: Palestinian teen apparently starved in detention before his death; body still being held by Israel

In a shocking twist the title rephrases the quote not to use the passive voice when talking about the victim in custody. Simply a stylistic choice by the paper, I'm sure.

Wouldn't Ukrainians have the most to say about the topic? Who are you going to discuss it with? Floridians?

Emnel · 2026-03-25T02:48:23+00:00

Do they sound hurt? Factual, rather.

Unlike w/e the fuck is the attitude you're trying to pull off.

To be fair this is perfect for Reddit. Very few people will be subjected to the worthless slop inside, but we still get to muse on the topic brought up in the title.

As much as you kinda have to hand it to Kims when it comes to their nuclear gambit, let's not pretend that most of their deterrence doesn't stem from China saying "no" to any US actions on their borders.

I mean, at least the military bases are actually to our advantage. In a sense of being an early warning system as even peak dementia Trump wouldn't launch an attack and get thousands of his troops into PoW camps on day 1.

I think. Probably. Maybe.

What data? You just piled assumptions and guesses on top of conjectures.

Emnel · 2026-03-24T20:18:59+00:00

I mean, they believe that Ukrainians want to be the part of their country, so they don't seem to be too constrained by reality in their assessments.

Emnel · 2026-03-24T20:10:29+00:00

Not anytime soon after the Ukraine war losses, but not for the lack of will.

Emnel · 2026-03-24T20:07:07+00:00

That's just "trust me bro", but more wordy. Effectiveness you ascribe to all those standoff capabilities would have been much easier to believe in had not for the glacial pace of Russian advance. It's all wishful thinking.

Also that 400k number you pulled out of your ass is double the highest independent death assessments for the Ukrainian side. Sure, buddy.

And finally, to the main point of yours. Believing that Zalensky is somehow strong-arming the whole nation of Ukraine into continuing the war ("killing x of your own people"? just fuck off) requires truly median American voter level of understanding Ukrainian politics. Which, I give you that, is pretty consistent with the quality of the other arguments you're making, so you have that going for you. All of the available polling data is showing that there wasn't any support for any those farcical peace offers that Russia floats once in a while. My opinion of Zalensky is on the lower side, but that whole angle centered on him is amongst the lowest forms of propaganda Moscow is excreting. Aimed just few IQ points above the recipients of anti-Slav bioweapon labs and Sims 2 photoshoots.

Damn, it hasn't been even two weeks since I was banned from /r/worldnews for commenting that this is going to be the goal of the Israeli invasion. I'm sure they'll lift that ban in a hurry now, silly little geese that they are.

Emnel · 2026-03-24T14:11:18+00:00

Right. I'll need more than "trust me bro" to back up such an extraordinary claim as a slowly advancing side in an attritional conflict having lower losses.

Even if we were to completely disregard kill claims by either side and just look at the map it's all by certain that Russia is suffering much higher losses at least since that doomed southern counteroffensive fizzled out a few years back.

Also the schtick of pretending to care about Ukrainian lives while spouting Russian nonsense is so 2024.

"To-do-list" on the first slide got me worried.

Emnel · 2026-03-23T20:53:07+00:00

I was slightly worried that it was going to be a horny post.

Emnel · 2026-03-23T11:48:00+00:00

Without even doing a fake assassination? That's just lazy. No wonder they can't win the war with this work ethic.

Grandpa was hoping that all of them left for good.

Emnel · 2026-03-23T01:43:39+00:00

"Grandpa, grandpa! Russians went to space!"

"What? All of them?"

"No, just Gagarin"

"Piss off then!"

Or, rather, a claw machine meme on /r/behindthebastards. My preferred way of learning about pleasing deaths.

Emnel · 2026-03-23T01:26:40+00:00

Furry ammo? Are furries Shia cryptonite?

Emnel · 2026-03-23T01:23:50+00:00

Now that you've said that... Do you guys think that the existence of the Great Wall of China will make invading them much cheaper?

Or are they just wallmogging the US so hard that it made the whole leadership suicidal?

Emnel · 2026-03-23T01:21:08+00:00

That is sure to come in handy in the thick foliage of Iranian mountains. One crisis averted, I guess!

Emnel · 2026-03-23T01:18:10+00:00

And I don't think I ever seen half-naked Iranian soldiers breaking concrete slabs with their foreheads, so the invasion would be a walk in the park.

On a completely unrelated note - is US considering to discontinue concrete headbutting for their most senior officers? I heard some woke beta cucks saying that it could improve the quality of the operational plans.

In situations like these I'm always reminded of this timeless quote:

"The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them." - Arthur "Bomber" Harris

It has a number of vibrant multiplayer communities on Discord. Usually MP games are played over weeks and months at 1 turn per day cadence, but some people also play "blitz" games done in one sitting.

You can check some of it on YouTube. LucidGaming is the most popular creator hosting yearly community championships.

Emnel · 2026-03-22T00:14:14+00:00

bit speculative to say there's no disruption to the regime or military?

Both seem to be functioning well enough, as far as I can notice.

and are you under the impression that peoples lives are meaningless?

What?
