You’re probably correct in that it is a balancing act with no real winners.

It’s too bad so few seem to be able to see the nuances.

At least that’ll correct itself when all the fish are dead, right?

…right?

Mint is on the other hand the most popular in the world

Still rooting for all the millions of you that I know are awesome people, but …yeah.

I’m Finnish, so if there’s one thing I’m aware of it is Putin and his various machinations.

I’ve been on the outside observing this escalating shit show for 8 years now and I think I’ve finally reached the point where I don’t even have the words to convey what I feel about the current state of American politics.

I mean, I know there’s a lot of history behind it etc., but just the past months? I don’t even…

I hope shit gets better for ya’ll, I sincerely do.

It’s a bit like Finland and Russia; we’re the one country they wouldn’t nuke because St. Petersburg is too close.

It’s almost poetic, really.

That’s true, I’m sorry.

There were some twitter accounts worth following, but after what happened over there I don’t know if any of them are still active. Likewise there were some subs in Reddit that had decent amounts of factual posts, but I don’t know about them anymore either.

Other than that, what’s wrong with piecing together news from the most reliable sources? The Guardian has excellent coverage of the war. Anything that goes on for this long will obviously suffer from some story-fatigue but they’re at least more trustworthy than anything from Russia.

It’s called fog of war for a reason though, you’re never going to get 100% unbiased and correct information about ongoing battles, for opsec reasons if nothing else.

The only relevant answer is that nobody knows for sure. Ukraine is doing their very best but they’re fighting not only Russia but also the combined effort of all the fuckwits that support Russia materially, i.e. China, Iran and North Korea etc. it’s not exactly an easy position to be in, even if their tech is of lower quality than what we have in the west they’re also able to churn out a lot more, and that shows.

On the other hand, it’s pretty telling that Russia is resorting to what amounts to long range terror bombing in between human wave attacks. They used up a lot of manpower last summer, and it can’t be easy to replace those losses. They do have access to a lot more human resources, but again, of dubious quality.

Russia is certainty hoping for another 4 years of the orange fuckwit in the White House though. That’s where the real danger is. If that happens all bets are off.

It’d probably end with one really fat Netanyahu. He’s exactly the kind of backstabbing bitch who’d thrive in that environment.

You’re projecting again.

I would have, but I didn’t remember it offhand and didn’t have time to check. She deserved far better than she got though, that’s for sure.

Too late, as the one who broke the story got murdered years ago. She’s not talked about nearly enough.

You’re not wrong, and he’s obviously using it to full effect either way, but it just boggles my mind a bit that they probably knew full well this’d happen and they let it, smack middle in Moscow of all places.

It’s not exactly a good look no matter how much that demented fuck tries to spin it.

It wouldn’t exactly be the first time he’d do something like this, although if this is the case it’d be quite extreme even for him.

You must really like the taste of russian boots, jfc.

You deserve some sort of award for most incoherent post ever with this shit.

As for Russia funding Hamas attack, that just sounds like insane propaganda, sorry.

Your posts on the matter reads like insane propaganda as well.

You’re still arguing that your opinion of abortion is the absolute truth. It isn’t.

Only the truly delusional think that their opinion matters at all when it comes to other people’s lives.

So if not for religious reasons all you have left is your opinion, which makes it even worse.

Once more; why do you believe that you have any say about other people’s reproductive systems, let alone their private lives?

Do you realize just how delusional you sound?
