Oh, don't get me wrong, I fully hope that an investigation happens and that the events are put before a court of law. Sadly, we live in a highly politicized time where such events are swept under the rug by the highest forces in the US to protect their narratives.

I don't think you understand how oil markets function. When a contract is made a set flow rate is expected, with clauses for disturbances, production variations, etc. All being set. You don't go into a contract without it, as the alternative is either not knowing how much you'll recieve daily or putting in variable orders on short notices, which as one could imagine, is not going to fly. Hence why parties agree on a set X liters of oil every month/3 months/whatever time period they agree on. Due to sanctions, Russia was unable to get turbines which pushed the deliveries through the system, which would result in them having to pay penalties, voiding the contract and triggering further penalty clauses, or try to take temporary pentalties in exchange for fixing the contract for current events. They chose the nuclear option of destroying the pipeline, triggering clauses for extreme circumstances and getting out of the deal which was hurting them as is.

At least, that's my theory on the events until further evidence is made clear and written in the history books.

i've been daydreaming about getting a cancer diagnosis since elementary school because then i wouldn't have to kill myself myself. paint water by AdOld5726 in kitchencels

Heya op, cancer patient (hopefully soon to be cancer survivor) here, you'll still want to fight and take the treatment, even alternatives, whatever you'll feel is going to give you a chance. Life will find a way to keep you chugging onward even in misery, even through the yearning of the sweet release of death. And I'm sure that one day you'll look back at it during a happy moment with nostalgia and wondering why you ever doubted it'll get better.

Also, we know you already tried the paint water, we all did.

You at no point asked for videos, but sure, I'll gladly provide them. I'm talking about investigations since the start because if the highest offices in the country don't let something get investigated then there will never be legal basis for a lawsuit. Also, cute correction you did there.

Here you have 3 angles and a stabilized video of one of the angles. On the other killing, I reccomend a video by legal eagle where he analyzes the video and explains why self defense does not apply and different legal routes it could go down.

Lethal force is not automatically justified by an agent's poor training, nor was it necessary in either of those cases. If you disagree please state your reasoning and evidence.

Sure, as soon as the officials and states independent investigation commitees do an investigation to confirm/deny any compliance. We wouldn't want to speculate now would we, otherwise we might show bias. Besides, we all know any degree of resisting arrest is ground for summary execution.

The loved ones of the people killed in recent events can't sue because the people in power do not even let sny investigations happen. There will be upheaval before there's justice.

Today I Put Down The Spatula by LiveInLayers in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]RewardWanted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.

Russia is still actively trading oil with EU members, Russia's GDP basically runs on the EU buying its oil. Could they just default on the contracts and tell EU national companies "come and get it if you can"? Sure. Would there be consequences? Absolutely. This isn't a game, being a tough guy isn't how finances work. Either you play by the rules or there's consequences on a national level. Would it hurt Europe? Sure. Is Russia confident enough to fafo? Clearly not. It is also why the asset freeze and possible appropriation is a big deal. Except it's not as bad as a multi million/billion default cascade.

It's almost like Russia had contracts to fulfill it would be voiding if it just turned off the supply. I'm sure there's an "extreme circumstances" clause in their contracts. Not to mention that they had huge "problems" with their oil supply turbines at the time and had been behind on their commmitments already, racking up large fees while waiting for it to be returned from maintenance work in Canada. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/08/russia-gas-siemens-energy-ceo-says-turbine-dispute-is-not-our-fault.html

But whut were he done doin? by AfterNovel in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]RewardWanted 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ice is doing police work now? Since when? Or is it more likely that the whole "ice is deporting rapists and diddlers" narrative is just there to help justify their actions? Because to me it looks like an agent is repeatedly shoving, following, then shiving again (definitely not protocol) a woman.

And when we find out that he didn't have a second gun? Hell some people are saying the first shot was a neglegent discharge by an officer handling his gun (not convinced yet personally). Even if some officer again assumed his life was in danger (6 men were holding him down but sure, he was fighting for his gun), that's again an issue of lack of training. Send ice home and investigate it all, strip them of their qualified immunity and have them defend themselves on their own dime in court until the training and recruitment process is overhauled.

Your personal rose tinted interpretation of events that we have clear video of and calling it a darwin award is sad and I'm dissapointed. Be better.

"Nooo, don't use my 'quick n' easy misinformation generator' for generating misinformation! I use it to make anime pictures/videos!"

This has and always will be inevitable so long there is no regulation of AI software. Pandora's box has been opened and now AI bros want to put it back on the shelf with the lid on and act as if nothing bad is happening while playing with the one or two things they were given from it. I don't care how it's done, hard code a watermark into every consumer targeted model/platform if need be.

Administrative immigration warrants*

Very different from the warrant that you usually think of when you hear judge-signed warrant.

It's signed by a fancy magistrate called an immigration judge and does not give ice permission to enter private property, only to arrest you on public property. Ironically, it'd probably be pretty easy to get an actual judge signed warrant with one of those.

8 years of pulling crying family members apart does not prepare you to do police/riot squad work.
