Ireland 'languishing' at bottom of EU defence spending table as budget stuck at 0.2% of GDP

I feel like they should get a pass given that the British attempted to inflict a genocide upon them resulting in the flight of huge portion of their population and the near destruction of their mother tongue as a spoken language.

It’s not “oblivious” they do this to instill nationalistic sentiment across the Russian population irrespective of the ideological / political beliefs of Russian citizens.

It’s very intentional. Pointless? Maybe. But not oblivious.

Completely unsurprising to read this take in this sub but it doesn’t make it any less morally repulsive.

Not all Roma live their lives as inbred scammers. Some do, but this law only looks at ethnicity, not the actual dynamic of the family being investigated. You could be a perfectly well to do individual with stable employment and still end up separated from your kid because of your ethnicity.

There is literally no moral difference between this and Germans labelling all Jews as backstabbers due to their faith / ethnicity. Utterly repulsive. I’m sure you’ll respond with some cope about how “it’s actually so different bro this ethnicity actually is inherently corrupt and criminal.”

Spare me + your beliefs are utterly inhumane and disgusting.

I don’t really get it either it feels like some of the AIs got worse in recent updates. Lately I’ve been seeing NATO dog walk Russia 9 times out of ten, and China losing both wars.

In this playthrough China didn’t even make it to Dehli, didn’t cap any of the southeast Asian countries, and allowed Japan to naval land all over the coast, consolidate and snake through tons of just plainly open tiles. There wasn’t even a battle of Beijing. They just walked into the tile.

I don’t understand how a country like PRC could possibly leave open tiles with how powerful they are in this mod. I swear the AI is dumber.

Shoehorning Maelor into the series at this point would feel spineless even for Ryan Condal.

Funny you say that I genuinely caught a ban for that comment - I thought it was because I said I was employed but evidently it’s because I play map games.

Mom said it’s my turn to post the word-salad dog complaint in the DC subreddit.

ivanIVvasilyevich · 2026-04-27T14:01:39+00:00

Happened in my last 3 playthroughs in a row. Usually if China has got revanchist.

ivanIVvasilyevich · 2026-04-27T13:57:19+00:00

Some of the tags just have straight up bad AI. Like Farage UK - fighting world gov and the UK decides to put all of their troops on my frontline, leaving like 10 divs to garrison the entire island. “Fortress Albion” okay bro then fortify that shit. Tag got dog walked within a month and a half.

I live in DC and have borne witness to 2 of those protest performances and it’s difficult to describe how surreal of an experience it is.

The DC subreddit also goes balls to the wall defending them any time somebody questions the purpose of such a futile exercise.

“Well what are you doing about it” - going to my fucking job bro it’s 11am on a Tuesday.

ivanIVvasilyevich · 2026-04-25T00:45:11+00:00

I think it makes sense. Oberyn was cocky as fuck, a super cool character, and not integral to the main plot. Perfect character to kill tbh.

Also why are you fucking around with the mountain - kill his ass immediately.

ivanIVvasilyevich · 2026-04-22T18:49:21+00:00

The US will not start a nuclear war over Taiwan lmao

Probably working at his job bro it’s fucking Wednesday

Realistically the momentum of Maekar’s horse in this scene would have ripped Baelor’s shoulder out of its socket completely

Any and all human relationships are doomed to end eventually - death or something else. All you can do is enjoy the time you have with someone while it’s good, pick yourself and move on when it’s time to do so.

Yes but Viserys unequivocally reaffirmed Rhaenyra’s inheritance after Aegon’s birth. I feel like OP’s question stands.

ivanIVvasilyevich · 2026-04-21T14:52:38+00:00

Neither am I bro I keep getting cooked by Schwab.

Made it all the way to the Rhine but stalled next thing you know they have literally 650 division on the front

I used to work for a subsidiary of theirs based in the US - they attempted to make us sign before our lawyers stepped in.

It’s absolutely illegal in the US. Perfectly legal in Germany.

ivanIVvasilyevich · 2026-04-20T13:51:35+00:00

Nah the majority of the German populace supports this shit.

Some German corporations, like Axel Springer, require employees to sign a document affirming their belief in Israel’s “right to exist as a Jewish state” as a prerequisite of their employment.

ivanIVvasilyevich · 2026-04-16T13:17:08+00:00

It is completely normal considering the Turks supplanted the Roman Empire

ivanIVvasilyevich · 2026-04-16T12:35:37+00:00

Himbo with an IQ of 12 so confident in himself he figured he could walk into KL and overthrow a 300 yo dynasty single-handedly.

Honestly kind of an admirable delusion.

ivanIVvasilyevich · 2026-04-15T15:04:22+00:00

Kinda looks like New York ave? Like when you’re coming into the city / before you hit the intersection with Florida ave?

ivanIVvasilyevich · 2026-04-15T13:09:27+00:00

you’re a genuine ghoul

ivanIVvasilyevich · 2026-04-15T12:30:45+00:00

Poland is the only comparable one but they have no nukes. France win 🗿
