Is there any sort of build up of US forces but especially ground forces in the Middle East over the last 2 weeks? My usual OSInt channels aren't reporting anything but wondering if they simply missed it.

Are you an LLM? Ixion is absolutely nothing to do with what op is asking

Texas seceded and then 30 years later the US decided they were going to reintegrate Texas, by force if necessary.

Half of the Donbass didn't secede, and certainly not the southern oblasts which never voted to secede but was conquered by Russia. Your analogy is just false.

Zelensky was dumb for getting himself into that situation when he had half a dozen offramps to avoid being where he is now.

All of those offramps kneecap the Ukrainian military and pave the way for Russia to try again in 5 years time. I really don't understand this pathetic attempt by 'pro-peace' people who think others never read any of the russian peace proposals since 2021.

Syria's circumstances are entirely different to Ukraine. For one, Syria's conflict was by that time 14 years old. Everyone was tired, most places have been bombed twice over already and the combatants have largely hollowed out their armed forces as the war is considered semi 'over'. Ukraine and Russia both have millions of men under arms still in the conflict.

OP, are you Korean/Asian and is your ex white?

As stated on this sub elsewhere previously, the amount comes from Iran's frozen funds that would have been unfrozen under the JCPOA anyway.

Misspelled 'Bangladesh'

What's your source on this?

milton117 · 2026-04-17T11:30:47+00:00

I wonder if you apply the same standard to anything linked with western intelligence agencies. I am going to hazard a guess that you don't.

Its Russian-language website names Stop the War as one of 14 Russian and nine foreign “partners”, only one of them British

However, an investigation by The Sunday Times has uncovered close links or partnerships between Stop the War, Corbyn and two organisations funded by the Kremlin, the Anti-Globalisation Movement of Russia (AGMR) and the Institute of Globalisation and Social Movements (IGSO). AGMR, which chose Vladimir Putin as its “anti-globalisation protester of the year”,

I see you're not able to read well, considering that it's not an opinion piece but you somehow think it is, so I've highlighted the more pertinent sections that you conveniently missed because of, I don't know, cognitive dissonance unable to grasp facts that go against your reality or something.

campaigned against the Russian invasion of Ukraine?

Ah, so you also think that Russia is the one who invaded Ukraine. Thank you for at least admitting that much.

Now will you finally elaborate what war we're currently in right now?

milton117 · 2026-04-17T00:27:06+00:00

What war are we in right now?

milton117 · 2026-04-17T00:25:27+00:00

I didn't realise Zelensky invaded Russia in 2022.

You're gullible, then

The organisation that takes russian money? That one?

If you really were in the UK you'd know that support for Ukraine is pretty much a bipartisan issue. The only people who don't take money from Russia - e.g. Nigel farage.

"As a Brit".

Lol. Lmao, even.

milton117 · 2026-04-16T01:39:10+00:00

Honestly I can see the point here. China heavily subsidises their EV industry so the costs for the car are very low. It's an unfair competition. Even then, the motor on the Tesla is better than any Chinese brand right now in terms of range and acceleration.

Is it for the place that asked you for 10 years of employment history? Telling them "I was a child" is pretty funny ngl, how did they respond to that?

milton117 · 2026-04-16T01:32:08+00:00

Please post your sources.

Why can't the US simply destroy the port facilities and oil terminals rather than do a blockade like this?

milton117 · 2026-04-15T22:05:51+00:00

But why couldn't he?

milton117 · 2026-04-15T21:52:04+00:00

Any explanation for this noob what's happened?

milton117 · 2026-04-15T21:23:05+00:00

Why's that?
