It’s as if the more a population is restricted, the harder it will resist. It’s taking a while for the american people to be roused, but I have hope that it gathers speed and power, not unlike a boulder hurdling down a hill towards a village.
Call for an uber, driverless tesla pulls up. Call a tow truck, don’t cancel the order. “Yeah hi, thanks for showing up. Yeah I dunno, it just pulled up here and it’s blocking my driveway.”
I bet a small portion of the country will remain Ukrainian, but only because no one else is going to willingly add Chernobyl to their country.
I suppose time will tell. If it does happen, I’ll be interested in seeing how it’s presented in the media.
It would be interesting to see if he resigns. Then another point of data can be added to the ever-running observation of where actions actually have consequences in the us government.
Will there be insurgencies in the former Ukraine territory? Or has their will be crushed completely? And what of the heads of state? Will the Ukrainian government trip over one another in efforts to cast blame and avoid fallout?
I’m afraid the issues in Ukraine will continue for some time. The lives they enjoyed pre-invasion are not coming back, even if they were physically unharmed.
I would sooner ask the common burdock it’s opinion on economics.
Perhaps we take those dogs. When the unruly mobs kick in the mansions of the ultra rich, we let the dogs feed once more.
Was this the swamp that needed draining?
Jokes aside, I can’t see why a swamp would need draining beyond the needs of expanding suburban sprawl. Leave the wonderfully diverse ecosystems be, to flourish and rot in peace.
They can just make a new account on another instance and come back anyway, it’s like whack-a-mole.
Spent millions to make people feel like yo-yo’s.
Yeah, and then we can discuss how fucked the whole situation is.
That’s why I enjoy the use of the reply button, leads to further discussions.
Some societies let their seniors enjoy their twilight years, with a quiet and reserved respect. Even them marching off into the frozen wilderness alone has a certain respected dignity.
This feels like the equivalent of people storming into a retirement home, banging pots together and yelling “Back to work! Everyone up and out, get back to work!”
I’m aware how posting works, thanks.
That’s the fun thing about the internet, you’re free to disregard and ignore comments that don’t appeal to you. Life is too short to take everything so seriously all the time. Which leads to the beauty of the reply button, it can lead to clarification, if you so desire.
Of course it applies to me, I’m the one making the joke. Out of everyone here, no one is more aware of the joke than me.
I agree, it’s equivalent to someone saying a joke and then following up with “I’m just joking!” We know you are. Anyone with a sense of nuance picked up on that, by the words you chose to use.
Just like with the spoken word, sometimes jokes are in poor taste or fall flat, but the /s makes every joke fall flat.
Lots of countries are bolstering forces by hundreds of thousands, even if their current military is in the tens of thousands. It’s eerie how similar it seems when the world is preparing to avoid war, and when the world is preparing for war.
Yeah, I know someone who won’t watch that episode again because of how unsettling it is. Luckily for them, it’s slowly becoming reality.
