This goes to show that the idea many people here have - namely that the nazi brigades will be angry and disillusioned with the west and terrorise Europe later down the line - is incorrect. They’re doing exactly what the original nazis had done - send people from other nations and volksturm to die, while SS and generals negotiate deals and get cozy homes out in Americas

But but but I was told Ukraine is winning and has taken over kursk and is on the way to Moscow and is getting moar braaaadleeeeys!

Well otherwise they’d have to admit all those doohickeys are overpriced junk

That’s… Basically my point?

Fair

cult of Manifest Destiny, Amerika über alles, and the blonde-haired blue-eyed capitalist Jesus and his pasty chosen people

Which is all just superstructure to capitalist basis

Okay, but what does that mean? Was the implication that China was somehow using exports to physically attack USA? Or that it would be detrimental to USian markets and companies? If the latter - then “national security” is just economic motivation

As opposed to what? Spiritually motivated? Of course it is “economically motivated” . And politics follow the economy

can erase the memory of roughly 7 million excess deaths due to Shock Doctrine after dissolving the USSR

Why not? Talk to the teenagers in Russia. I doubt many would be even aware. Nor that they’d care, claiming “well it was worse under sovok”

Media does that with “China’s Xi” too

No one is above USA law is what they want to say

Buying gas, oil and metals with one hand, sending weapons to Ukraine and laying on sanctions with the other. Likewise, Russian leadership is screaming about West that wants to destroy the motherland with one hand, buy up property in the west with the other.

The bourgeoisie has no nationality. It is the only enemy we all have. They will make deals with each other as they put us at each other’s throats. Proletariat of the world must unite

only needs to be 25.8C for a health younger person, or 21.9C for an elderly person

That’s disturbingly low

Are we? Look at this Hollywood nonsense:

The cause of the crash was not a direct result of an enemy missile strike, the Ukrainian military claims.

It said the pilot destroyed three cruise missiles and one drone in Russia’s largest aerial attack to date.

“Oleksiy saved Ukrainians from deadly Russian missiles,” the Ukrainian Air Force wrote in a statement on social media. “Unfortunately, at the cost of his own life.”

That’s textbook heroisation. “Our brave patriot boi shot down ebil enemies and SAAAAVED lives then tragically perished while Aerosmith is playing in the background”

Thanks

Why not? Jets are commonly shot down with missiles. It’s rather hard to kill them spraying them with machine-gun fire. You can do it of course but a missile is the more reliable solution which is why jets made for dog-fights usually carry multiples.

Because Iskander is not an air-to-air (which jets carry) or even ground-to-air (like the aforementioned patriot). It’s a ballistic missile. Ground to ground. Very different targeting systems and the rocket itself

Interesting, does that mean USA has a powerful enough farming industry / agriculture to support other countries?

Fair

Excuse me while I make a big bucket of popcorn to watch the cope

Just like everything else
