Poland’s military is about half again larger than Ukraine prior to the war, large portions of it are very well trained, and their equipment is significantly better. If they decided to march to Moscow, nothing Russia has, short of nukes, would slow them down. And Poland would really like to discuss with them, some of the things that happened in WW2, in an up front and personal way.
The US still makes massive amounts of cotton. That all gets exported to other countries before getting turned into garments and things.
Coffee, tea, and everything you’re wearing right now.
Very true, and if the nuclear threat goes away, it’ll look like a pack of junk yard dogs let loose on a kitten.
If not for nukes, Poland probably would have rolled Russia by themselves. The rest of NATO could just be emotional support.
I dunno if you’ve tried, but I’m here to tell ya, cobble stone streets will absolutely stop speeding really quick.
The green party only exists because the GOP keeps giving them money. The only time anyone ever hears a damn word out of them, is when they’re showing up to split the Dem vote for the GOP.
There are no good guys in the middle east. Only civilians that are angry about being shit on.
Guess how investment companies empty out retirement communities so they can build condos in Florida.
Also, that’s the basis for laws on rent control. Which in Florida, is more of a suggestion than a law.
Don’t bother, if they can’t leave a message, you didn’t want to talk to them.
Oh look, it’s the new cover story for parallel construction.
I heard Hawaii, but that could be completely wrong.
It’s about time someone did. War is just violent economics. Taking away Putin’s income will cost him the war faster than killing Russians.
The next most conservative generation is Gen X. All few dozen of us. Expect those with power to retain it with massive use of wealth to constrain the rules of democracy, rather than numbers of voters.
I mean, i haven’t actually been to Japan myself, but I’ve heard some things…
Finally figuring out that war is economics with violence. Our sanctions have been half assed from the start, and need to include some serious pressure on any country not abiding by them.
China has long had a unification plan. It’s not really anything new. There’s just been a huge political football made out of it for decades. And of course that led to stupidly huge over investment in their economy by the rest of the globe as a way to encourage China to back off. Xi doesn’t see the value in the status quo. It’d be like California seceding, then making tons of money while the rest of the US went fascist and built military power. Same ending.
Well yeah I’m gonna let him out hustle me. That bastards on crack.
Look at you with your color vision being all elitist. Some of us old bastards don’t see them pretty rainbows so much any more.
Nothing but anecdotal, but it kinda looks like Bluesky is becoming a thing. Couple that with a lot of people taking a step back from the world right now.
