@hexbear.netThe world literaly just watched the American billionaire class coup the incumbent president through sheer media and money pressure.
But it was Assange that "sold us out". Biden's incompetence and evilness notwithstanding that is hilarious, like living in a cave.
You're not wrong, but that is even optimistic as the real decline of the US space program happened almost immediately during the 70's already mid-Apollo program. The Space shuttle obviously already had issues from day 1 etc.
Replace Iran with China and you'd be very close to the truth. As it stands though between Russia-China and Iran its definitely Iran with the highest stakes and willingness to act.
That said you're getting flak for this but in general I'd say nobody should take any claim of military action seriously when its announced days or weeks in advance.
Even ignoring the Ukrainian examples, the first Iranian attack against Israel was announced well in advance and was meant realy as a show of force rather than a serious and real escalation towards war. Of course there are reasons for this as well, why would they start a war overnight when neither China nor Russia are actualy willing to commit troops to defend them?
As a result of these announcements the US had ample time to prepare and support Israel during the attack. Despite being a significant act, it was underwhelming. If you want to clown on anything I think its fair to always be skeptical moving forward.
Heck Ukraine would not have managed anything right now if they made the same literal "Summer War Offensive" movie trailers like they did last year, although I don't know if that was because they simply didn't have the resources to worry about it and are desperate or because the west was anxious about the plan.
Either way don't announce shit in advance should be an obvious standard lol.
The same people here writing absurd and shitty narratives about "Ukrainian" shared identity with Poland 400 years ago are also the same people that treat the mere 8 years of the Donbass war as irrelevant Russian propaganda. They have the power to manufacture consent and should be taken seriously, not because they say real or meaningful shit, but because what they say and write is almost assured to become the narrative or is already a reflection of the narrative.
When NATO decides to invade Ukraine years from now we'll be hearing all about the great "unity" between Polish and Ukrainian people too etc.
I'm guessing they're talking about things how the Poland-Lithuanian Commonwealth used to be one of Russia's historical enemies.
And before you call that nerd shit, realize people actualy take it very seriously lol
It’s Time to Bring Back the Polish-Lithuanian Union
The argument for an explicit political union between the two countries is not based on nostalgia but on shared interests. To be sure, due to four centuries of common history within the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, much of today’s Ukraine (and Belarus) shares far more of its past with Poland than it does with Russia, notwithstanding claims of Russian propagandists to the contrary and notwithstanding the fact that the relationship was oftentimes highly complicated, as illustrated by events of the 17th-century Deluge—most prominently by the Khmelnytsky uprising and its conflicting interpretations by Poles and Ukrainians.
Fast-forward to the present and to the near future, however. Both countries are facing a threat from Russia. Today, Poland is a member in good standing of the EU and NATO, while Ukraine is keen to join both organizations—not unlike the Grand Duchy of yesteryear, eager to become part of mainstream, Christianized Europe. Even if Ukraine’s war against Russia ends with a decisive Ukrainian victory, driving degraded Russian forces out of the country, Kyiv faces a potentially decades long struggle to join the EU, not to speak of obtaining credible security guarantees from the United States. The poorly governed, unstable countries of the Western Balkans, prone to Russian and Chinese interference, provide a warning about where prolonged “candidate status” and European indecision might lead. A militarized Ukrainian nation, embittered at the EU because of its inaction, and perhaps aggrieved by an unsatisfactory conclusion of the war with Russia, could easily become a liability for the West.
Absolurely deranged shit.
People will say rest in piss but I'll say no, actually I'd have preferred she lived a few more years, decades even of them suffering with cancer, death was far from the worst they deserve.
It doesn't help that the "inside job" theory is right alongside "jet fuel cant melt steel beams" too.
