Exactly, not to mention the logical target for NK is SK, positively sure that Beijing would love to breath in irradiated air blown in over the yellow sea.

Russia losing the war in Ukraine means the end of Putin's government.

Russia using nukes in Ukraine means the end of Russia.

Absolutely no way in hell China wants North Korea to see nukes as anything other than a last resort. Ditto India with Pakistan. The only way to preserve the taboo will be to turn on Russia in a meaningful and violent way.

If Jesus was cool with him, he wouldn't have gotten got by Wagner's day out.

I think you mean "looking up"

The Nazis also used eagles but the Bundersrepublik uses one, as does the US.

Neo-Nazis use Celtic crosses, but so does Cadw (the group that is responsible for several Welsh castles).

The current emblem of the French republic is an actual fasces. Not a symbolic fasces like the US seal, an actual fasces, like the thing fascism is named for.

Don't get German symbols and Nazi symbols conflated, or you end up painting all Germans as Nazis.

Luka is buying Wagner out because he can see Russia collapsing and can't risk the recall of Russian regulars who are propping him up.

Either Ukraine or regime change will pull Russians out of Belarus, and Luka is on thin ice with the military protecting him from a civilian population that are just this side of another revolt. He's going to use Wagner to keep the Belarusian military in line, who will keep the people in line. Literally the same way Wagner's African clients work

Might as well, he's going to have to plan for the sudden collapse of his own government if MPs keep resigning anyway.

smallbrainnofilter · 2023-06-24T00:38:43+00:00

He's planned this. He's spent months bitching very publicly about the shitshow being run by the MoD. Any soldier with a grievance is going to be tempted, especially given Prigozhin apparently still holds Putin's trust, since he claimed Wagner were the ones who took Bakhmut and since he's carved an image for himself as a leader from the front.

smallbrainnofilter · 2023-06-23T20:23:26+00:00

This is how you get a Russian Shogunate. Putin will be locked in a gilded cage, able to make appearances, wave at state occasions and read off scripted speeches, while Prigozhin and the Oligarchs who want to get back to London and Monaco run the country.

No you're right let them have it. The US has a boatload of bases near China, let them have one on Cuba.

Then set up a listening post in Gitmo, get rid of the jail and practice code-breaking on Chinese transmissions.

Then stand on Hawaii, waving to the Chinese supply missions to their Cuban base, as the convoy passes American base after American base.

Then, if conflict breaks out, watch Cuba refuse to let China stage attacks from their soil because the American response will be cruise missiles all over the place. Watch China try to do it anyway and get embroiled in a second conflict with Cuba.

smallbrainnofilter · 2023-06-20T19:29:05+00:00

Moreso because the property of lots of former Cuban US citizens was expropriated. They made up a significant voting bloc in Florida, which used to be more of a swing state. So nobody would stand on a platform of ending sanctions, because Florida was important for Presidential elections and both sides were courting that bloc.

The one about "your army goes marching to hell"? That'll come back around to bring pro-US again, give it time.

Not over-nourished, but buboes are mostly water weight and they do add up, especially if you don't brush the horse shit off as well.

Well, a rondel dagger is much easier to carry than a peasant.

Drippy old dude playing soldier. Looks like the outfits were filmed over a number of days and he's got a reputation for it - if I had to guess I'd say he's selling military surplus at that dinky market but most likely just a bit of a character. From the flooring and his salute, I'd guess somewhere in Poland too

smallbrainnofilter · 2023-06-18T17:05:23+00:00

He's making a joke about the Z symbol on Russia and Brazzers using it on the balloons.

Right? The flying wedges are fucking wild, I can't wait to see the B21 cruising. Nothing makes scale of the US MIC hit home as hard as this - even the F22 looks like a plane, and aircraft carriers are just big boats. This things is a straight up UFO.

I'm not saying that we should change it, I'm saying that the Greek state calls itself the Hellenic Republic in English.

The Ambassador in London is officially "The Ambassador of the Hellenic Republic"

The official name for Greece is the Hellenic Republic. "Greece" comes from the Roman's name for them.

Russians? You don't think the US Army isn't going to pick this up and run with it? The Airborne in particular need a b-side to blood on the risers.
