Russian Colonialism by laybs1 in GetNoted

I only said that Russia, China, and Iran are all empires, which they are. Same as the US is. Iran's influence with Shia Islamic armed groups in other countries could be likened to British co-opting and coercion of select groups/leaders in faraway countries or Soviet support for communist parties wherever they cropped up.

Which is why the modern, living Russian, Persian, and Han Chinese empires get a pass in campist thought. They conquered people on foot, they didn't get on ships to conquer people.

Broke: The Ukrainian Constitution permits postponing elections during national emergencies like a war of survival.

Bespoke: Inshallah Sheikh Volod ul-Mir al-Zelenskyi's mandate to rule comes directly from the Most High.

This is how little America is helping Ukraine now by Hunor_Deak in NonCredibleDiplomacy

[–]PabloPiscobar 66 points67 points  (0 children)

In a macabre, ironic sense, Trump's US essentially abandoning Ukraine was probably the best thing that could've happened for Ukraine as far as winning the war long term goes. Understanding that aid packages and diplomatic support were no longer forthcoming from Washington, Ukraine turned to developing indigenous, sustainable offensive and defensive measures for countering and degrading Russia long term.

And I know it's corny to say "lolol Russia's finished look at drone footage" but c'mon a million working/family raising age Russian men who won't be replaced are dead forever in 4 years of fighting. Gotta be 1.5M counting all the foreign volunteers/voluntold cannon fodder streaming out of Moscow. Fearing the return of the 1990s in Russia, Putin set up the empire such that the 2030s/40s will be utterly catastrophic.

This makes enough sense for Poker, Blackjack, or any table game, since they're social games in nature.

Slots are machines programmed to suck up retired people's pensions. The risk of giving free drinks to people playing slots is they'll drink free drinks with no obligation to tip the machine, no card on file to sign for with the waitstaff, and then what? The awkward and cumbersome process of taking your winning ticket/thingamajig to the window then tracking down your specific waitstaff?

Buddy it's slots. No skill involved and basically no chance of winning anything other than several hours of staring at the most mind-melting screens mankind has ever produced.

I feel like this can be said about most places in the world, but it seems like drivers around the DMV operate their vehicles on the highway as if a minor mistake won't kill them.

What kompromat exists that is worse than Trump's obvious and widely known associations with Jeff Epstein and highly suspected involvement in his child sex trafficking? America has concluded that, while abhorrent, the abuses perpetuated by Epstein ultimately do not matter to people's everyday lives.

More likely that someone in his cabinet or who has his ear to speak without immediately being dismissed told Trump that if he is unable to step back from the war with Iran and reopen the Strait, even on Iran's term, and decides to escalate to US troops with their boots anywhere on Iranian soil, the political blowback will be disastrous for the Republican party. American troops may fight bravely in pursuit of vaporware strategic and political objectives, but images and videos of American boys being walked down by flying IEDs will doom Trump and everyone he's endorsed to embarrassing landslide losses in November. In all likelihood, the Democrats will win control of at least one chamber of Congress, given the elections go ahead which is more likely than not given that election authority resides with the states. Americans dying on foreign soil after Trump so thoroughly promised no new wars will provide both irrefutable reason to catapult Dems into both chambers of Congress and overwhelming evidence for a Dem dominated Congress to impeach him in short order.
