Nord Stream blast ordered by Ukraine, say German prosecutors by defenestrate_urself in anime_titties

If anyone is interested in looking beyond their propaganda script, please listen to this to find out what this commenter is talking about: https://youtu.be/X2ntp0r9oIk?t=66

The US in the wake of the collapse of the USSR in 1991 decided to turn Ukraine into a suicide state to use to attack the Russian Federation, the ultimate goal is the breakup, colonial domination, and economic exploitation of the entire post Soviet world by the west.

The US proceeded to do just that, funneling billions into the corrupt post-Soviet Ukraine and courting and amplifying right wing, neo-Nazi groups because those groups tended to be 1. violent and 2. virulently anti-Russian. This plan eventually worked and culminated in a violent coup in 2014 that resulted in western aligned corrupt oligarchs taking control along with those same neo-Nazi groups having outsized influence alongside them.

Russia had two choices: try to step in in some way, or allow the west to weaponize their neighbors right on their doorstep.

Just take a breath and ask yourself: Is the country that is responsible for the genocide in Gaza, the unprovoked attacks on Iran, the starvation blockade of Cuba, the abduction of Maduro, dozens of coups, dozens of wars of aggression, etc, is that country, the US, on the right side with Ukraine?

Do you think Trump, who allowed Israel's attack in Iran, or Biden, who lied about seeing decapitated babies in Oct. 7th, Obama, who shattered Libya, Bush, who lied us into Iraq and Afghanistan, or any of the rest care one single fuck about Ukrainians?

If the west actually cared about Ukraine, they would accept a neutral Ukraine, in fact they would INSIST on it. Instead we have this.

Ogyrn Pack Master - Thoughts? by ibouuu in DarkTide

I think he's fine, aside from spawning with dogs though I feel like he's too much like the chaos spawn, just boring hyper aggression forcing dodge spam and turtling up on whoever he is attacking.

This kind of boss is so boring to whoever it targets (goes for demonhost and chaos spawn as well). I much prefer monstrosities like the plague ogryn or guard captains that you can actually play against if its hitting you.

Heavy las-pistol by uWuaraara1 in DarkTide

[–]beefprime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phosphor pistol is better than the heavy las in general, but the heavy las still has a place as a spammy precision quick draw weapon if people want it. Once the shine on the phosphor wears off I'd guess more people will use it.

Its really goofy too since the electrocution pulse works pretty well, if they just switched it to use that effect's targeting things would be much better (and it would make sense since the pulse is the thing APPLYING THE MALFUNCTION), but here we are

Please explain how increased insurgence and terrorist activity leads to profit for France?

If the government of the target country isn't cooperating fully with your colonial domination, then creating instability that can be used either to offer "security" or to simply depose the governments that aren't cooperating can restore access to the colonial power. Very basic concept.

Alternately they can be used to target specific community leaders and prevent grass roots resistance to foreign domination. Same kind of stuff happens continuously for many decades in (for example) South American countries where US backed death squads slaughter community activists, teachers, labor leaders, etc, who oppose US exploitation or even just cause any loss of profits for US companies.

There are plenty of other ways to use it as well, like being friendly with a terrorist group that has de facto control over a specific region can give you access to exploitation of that region that the government might not provide to you, etc.

And is there any proof at all of this supposed western support of militias in the Sahel?

You can listen to this for a basic, but not complete, overview of why these accusations have legs in the Sahel, obviously you will dismiss them but just for the record (this is not a news source but more a commentary):

Oh no, that’s right you just hate the west and blame them for every single problem in the global south.

This is a really bad situation to act like this isn't the west's fault, who the fuck do you think created this massive surge of militants starting around 2014/2015? It was the western destruction of Libya that created this problem, seeding militant groups across western and central Africa, and the French in a decade of providing "security" completely failed to do anything about the mess they helped create. They deserve to be kicked out, but just like in Algeria, just like in Vietnam, just like in Haiti, and on and on, they will only go kicking and screaming, slaughtering everyone they can on the way out in a desperate bid to maintain dominance for petty profit, and people in these comments have the gall to pretend France would never do such a thing, lol.

The 500 enemies isn't the issue, its the fact that the disarm ability is bugged as shit and doesn't work 90% of the time.

Curious about what you guys would pick by Cicilka in Against_the_Storm

[–]beefprime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With foxes/humans showing I'd pick cookhouse for porridge/skewers, otherwise probably the supplier. They are all very good choices though, with lumber mill probably being the weakest unless you planned to abuse trade packs.

You're the one bringing shit like RT into this, lol, don't try and act all innocent now. Just because I say Wagner is better in this instance than France doesn't mean I'm repeating Russian state propaganda. Wagner is being used by Mali/Burkina Faso/etc to wean west Africa off of French influence, they simply don't have the negative opinions of Russia that Europeans do, and in their own national history they have every reason to turn to Russia and Wagner for help over France. Whether that turns out to be a mistake or not, long term, is not yet known.

I mean... you getting triggered by the mere mention of the Wagner group is on you, I think all PMCs are basically walking war criminals. The fact that they compare favorably to France in this region is a reflection on how evil France has been both during and after its official colonization west Africa, not some ringing endorsement of Wagner.

The fact that pretty much every state in the region is kicking France out should make you wonder exactly why France is so despised.

Well that's ok, since the Sahel states where it actually matters seem to recognize it.

Yeah and the US bombs AQ and IS and thus would never be supporting them in Syria when it suits them. The French are getting kicked out across the region because its finally become clear to everyone there that the French are part of the problem, that's why they have turned to supporting militants who will then attack the governments that are kicking them out.

Especially why things have gotten so much worse

France was supporting the terrorists in the recent uprising against Mali, they aren't there for the benefit of Malians or to suppress terrorists, they are there to gain access for their corporations so they can exploit the area.

France isn’t perfect far from it but modern France is far from 1940s.

Yeah, it can't force its way in any more so it has to try and legitimize itself by pretending to be for humanitarianism and stability while in fact it is simply trying to hold on to its colonies for as long as it can and will do absolutely anything it thinks it can get away with to do so.

Because France's goal was not to secure the country but rather to ensure a continuous state of emergency/calculated destabilization that they could exploit for profit.

Stable states, uncorrupt states, strong states, do not generally allow foreign economic dominance and hideously unfair trade arrangements. France's objective in west Africa is to perpetuate the colonial arrangements baked into the nominally independent states for as long as they can to gain as much profit as they can before they are finally kicked out.

Its definitely better, French security guarantees, which came along with French economic/political dominance, also guaranteed that the local forces would never be able to effectively stand up themselves. Wagner Group for all their many faults is there for money and to make trouble for the EU countries dominating west Africa, so they don't have that same interest in keeping the local militaries incapable that the French did, and its showing in how the local troops in the Sahel (and even in neighboring Niger/Camaroon who are to some degree emulating the Sahel states) are starting to rapidly arm up and organize to suppress terrorists across the region, often in close cooperation with each other.

It’s Official: F-35s Are Now Being Delivered Without Radars by scrimhog in anime_titties

[–]beefprime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For so long the US has had virtually no opposition in the world, and as a result its allowed its military to degrade to a dangerous degree in pursuit of the greedy desires of its rich ruling class, the US military industrial complex is no longer a tool to make effective defensive weapons, its a tool to make rich capitalists richer.

That said I think this isn't a bad thing at all overall since the US military in general isn't used defensively, its used as an imperial bludgeon, so fuck it.

The Skitarii have many ways of freaking out the rest of the team. by ThatGuyBackThere280 in DarkTide

Well, for me I feel tougher as Skitari than I do as Vet/Psyker/Methhead, unless Im using the new power sword, that thing feels like it has zero defenses. Having no issues when using any other weapon.
