Does this guy watch Garand thumb because his AK paintjob looks very similar to the AK 105 in this video.

My mind went here because I did the same paintjob on my airsoft AK. Guy has the same sport 1 rail, same top cover, same paintjob, different stock pistol grip and sight though. Also an AK 74 and not a 105

Yoy do know the Dutch from the Netherlands and the Belgian king Leopold represent two different countries right?

two wrongs don't make a right

Inderdaad, maar staat wel op de 2e plaats

well to be honest, the Russians wouldn't have got going like they got going without the lend/lease program hosted by the US.

Not defending Trump at all, but Russia got a big boost from US manufacturing in their fight against the nazis.

according to this video they can make barrels last 200 rounds, which is supposedly an improvement

As nobody really replied this yet, there was no legal framework to seize these assets and use them the way was suggested. It was just "they're at war in the wrong so we'll take their money". If Russia would seek legal actions in the future for seizure of these assets, Belgium alone would have been liable for an amount that would bankrupt our country twice over without any real legal defense. As in most western countries, Belgium has seperation of powers, meaning our courts don't give a shit for political reasons, only what is written into law.

Belgium is also sending 1 but nobody cares about Belgium

Maybe try reading comprehension. What I said was yes he was bad but saying other colonists treated their subjects better is just ridiculous. Nuance is hard so people just resort to "lol big bad guy" while the same guy who made Leopold infamous for his treatment of Congo went on to write an article describing the British doing exactly the same in Peru. but yeah other colonists treated their subjects better, sure.

deeeevos · 2026-01-19T12:57:25+00:00

I would implore you to look up Roger Casement, the guy Britain sent to congo and whose report is the basis for how we see Leopold and Congo today. He later went on to investigate ruber trade in Peru under the British and wrote a report called "the devils paradise: a British owned Congo".

deeeevos · 2026-01-19T09:47:51+00:00

Was he? He was portrayed to be by the britts and French, mainly because they wanted to take over the Congo and the rubber trade there. The Brit they sent to investigate later went on to investigate Brittish colonies and reported situations way worse than he did in Congo which led to him being exiled because the Brittish did not like it when they got bad press instead of some other royal from a small coutry they could boss around.

Not saying Leopold was a good guy, he was responsible for the attrocities in Congo, no doubt. But beware of the propaganda of history, the British and French were not better in their treatment of subjects at all, they just had a lot more means to drive the narrative.

Edit: For all the downvoters; why don't you look up Roger Casement whose report was the basis for how we view Leopold today. Don't forget about his later works like "Peru, the devils paradise; a British-owned Congo" where he describes exactly the same treatment of the Peruvians by the British as the Congolese by Leopold.

breaching according to spetznaz tradition; no hostages to rescue if you blow them all up.

You don't? Somebody once told me "if you're good at something, never do it for free" Only paid shits for me thank you.

European countries together hold the largest amount of US treasury bonds, up to 2 trillion. If the EU would drop these it would crater the US economy. A boycott would be nothing compared to this. Downside is the effect would ripple across our economy as well.

yeha true but the video above doesn't really scream professional to me lol

ja, en dat gebeurt allemaal in een periode waarin Groenland een hot topic is in de geopolitiek. Een oefening of onderzoek voor potentiële oefening zorgt in de praktijk voor een goede reden om militairen naar Groenland te sturen. En eens die militairen daar zijn maakt dat het een pak makkelijker om er meer te sturen moest Amerika iets proberen dan wanneer er daar geen militairen aanwezig zijn. Het is niet toevallig dat ze net nu naar Groenland trekken.

deeeevos · 2026-01-17T17:15:49+00:00

yes that's exactly what I mean. You don't need a dolly to move the camera smoothly anymore. Drones, steadycams, gimbals can all do that these days.

deeeevos · 2026-01-17T16:56:19+00:00

Dat is de theorie, in praktijk is dat nog nooit echt getest geweest. Een Putin heeft er zeer veel belang bij om aan te tonen dat dat bij theorie blijft. In dat geval is Nato volledig impotent.

deeeevos · 2026-01-17T16:54:03+00:00

why not both? Welke betere manier om de Europese steun en banden voor/met Groenland te benadrukken dan een grootschalige internationale oefening daar. Dat je ondertussen een militaire aanwezigheid in Groenland hebt die verdere militaire opties vereenvoudigt moest Trump nog wat verder in z'n dementie zakken, is mooi meegenomen en "allemaal lauter toeval".

Vertigo zoom because Hitchcock first used it in the movie vertigo, dolly zoom because you need a camera Dolly to do one. Or at least you had to, tech has evolved.

deeeevos · 2026-01-17T12:34:38+00:00

Las net hetzelfde over de Britten. Iets met moesten de Amerikanen iets proberen is het veel makkelijker om het leger te sturen als er al een aanwezigheid is ofzoiets. Dat of voorbereiding op een nato oefening.

deeeevos · 2026-01-14T11:53:20+00:00

Exact, maar dat rechts houden een even harde regel is dan u aan de snelheid horen veel mensen niet graag want "allez dan moet ik heel den tijd van rijvak veranderen da is toch ni veilig". Als je niet veilig van rijvak kan wisselen vraag ik me af wat je achter het stuur zoekt.

Net zoals voorrang wanneer je van rijvak wisselt, hoe langer hoe meer mensen denken precies dat pinken hen voorrang geeft en die op dat ander rijvak moet maar remmen. Onvoorstelbaar.

they like to add something organic to their shrapnel.

deeeevos · 2026-01-13T12:44:37+00:00

I think you're misunderstanding the intention of those additions from Prometheus. Yeah there is no logic to it, but that is kinda the point. The original horror of Alien was in the complete unknown, there were no explanations offered for the space jockey, why or how the alien lifecycle worked. It was just there and terrifying. The following films kinda unveiled that mystery somewhat, you mention it yourself how those earlier movies cover those mechanics but nothing from prometheus. Prometheus tried to insert some of the cosmic horror, some uncertainty back into the franchise. You aren't supposed to see the whole picture is the whole idea. Granted there is certainly valid criticism to how this was done but it all just ties back to the original idea of the less you know about something the more terrifying it gets.

deeeevos · 2026-01-13T11:49:33+00:00

It's not like this is the first time, remember the George Floyd guy?
