    In this particular case of russians being a worse Imperium of Mankind, executions will continue until troop morale improves. And it does not.

    They are claiming they were raids targeting gay propaganda in an effort to deflect complaints.

    But they have not hit volunteer quotas for a long time, resorting to coercion, intimidation and trickery to find meat for the grinder.

    An unfortunate half-truth is that they may indeed be targeting gay people and other groups they term “undesirable” to throw into the grinder.

    Aside from that, I guess those North Korean troops didn’t amount to much.

    Well, this is the best Russia can do given the scale is all within one planet. And Putin certainly thinks he is the God-Emperor. Although it looks like he could not take Kyiv in 3 days, but he can lose the Syrian front in 2-3 days...

    What, you think if you say "Israel" that would somehow make me alter the reality of average American not really giving a damn about what is happening outside his car's reach radius.

    People are people everywhere, their first priority is themselves and their family wellbeing. Not these idiotic imperialist ego wars half the globe away. And people certainly don't like their taxes going towards hell knows what, rather than actually making their lives better.
    Maybe because you are known to not give that little bit of empathy to Palestinians?

    I mean:

    1. Imperial Commisars are definitely modelled after SU commisars,
    2. Meat waves are a thing as well,
    3. Don't you dare insult Krieg like that,
    4. ok, Valhallan Ice warriors exist,

    But:

    5. Damn Skippy, to be a worse version of the IoM you gotta work hard!
    6. The God-Emperor meme is trumpie isn't he? (I seriously detest the Meme, loyalists deserve better than being associated with that.)

    See, the problem I have when people defend the actions of russia because of reasons like "ït was their homeland and they wanted this" or it was Nato's fault for getting too close is there are overlooking the fact that on top of everything else, Putin is a giant piece of shit. Just a generally terrible human being that is doing this all for selfish reasons and if if we wasnt a president he would be a criminal, possibly in jail somewhere. Hey, kinda like a someone over in america about to be sworn in...
    Anyways,
    Investigation Into Forced Adoptions From Ukraine Points Finger at Putin

    Yale researchers traced hundreds of children taken to Russia in the war, finding what they described as “a higher level of crime than first understood.”
    President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and senior Kremlin officials “intentionally and directly” authorized a program of coerced fostering and adoption of Ukrainian children during the war in Ukraine, according to a Yale University report that was released on Tuesday.

    The report provides strong new evidence for a war crimes case against Putin and other officials, the researchers said.

    An investigation by Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab identified 314 children from Ukraine who have been placed in a “systematic program of coerced adoption and fostering” since Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, according to the report. It details evidence of direct orders from senior Russian officials, including Mr. Putin, to carry out the adoption program.

    “It reveals a higher level of crime than first understood,” the Research Lab, which is part of the Conflict Observatory, a program supported by the U.S. Department of State, said in a statement.

    The nazis did the same to an estimated 250000 polish and Ukrainian children.

    Welp, we all knew Trump was in Putins pocket.

    https://www.reuters.com/world/trumps...le-2024-12-04/

    WASHINGTON, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Advisers to Donald Trump publicly and privately are floating proposals to end the Ukraine war that would cede large parts of the country to Russia for the foreseeable future, according to a Reuters analysis of their statements and interviews with several people close to the U.S. president-elect.

    This is such an L take, Biden is doing what he can without escalating it to a World War which is what the West is trying to accomplish atm even though Russia clearly wants another World War, Trump is just willing to hand Putin Ukraine on a plate with a gold rim by removing the support Ukraine has.

    We should absolutely give Putin the war he wants. It just wouldn't go like he envisions it.

    Not to mention the fact that the US under Biden has donated more military and financial aid to Ukraine than any other country. Just about the only limitation imposed by Biden was against the use of US-made long range weapons on targets inside Russia. But that obviously didn't include Ukraine's own weapons, and even that restriction was lifted recently.

    Thank you, I swear some people are just blind and deaf to everything that goes on around them and gets entrenched in the side of lies and misinformation.

    I agree and I would gladly do my part if my country gets involved.

    There probably wouldn't be a lot to do unless you're in the air force.

    You mean that time when Republicans in Congress tried to block aid?

  20. #42460
    Or that time trump withheld aid in order to leverage it to dig up dirt on bidens' family members?
