Should've taken a left turn 
Reminder that for all the propaganda about communists 'not valuing human lives', the death toll of the Soviet space program vs the US is 4 to 15.
If you include accidents in training, the ratio is 6 to 24.
The US was always the one engaged in the 'human waves' style of space exploration.
I've hated this guy ever since I saw his mealy-mouthed wounded innocence act in Alaska that got him slapped down by Yang Jiechi
He's got his hand all the way in the pot, I'm glad he looks like it's finally starting to burn
The People's Netrunner 
Crossing my fingers for a second Battle of Blair Mountain.
Ah yes, I too draw my 'preliminary estimate' line as solid, and my 'actual data' line as dotted. 
No, it was definitely straight up the US. Ignore any bullshit about yachts and Ukrainian divers.
Here is the USS Kearsage - one of the only ships in the world with a moon pool that would allow divers to operate at the pipeline's depth - leaving after "NATO exercises" in the area of the pipeline five days before it exploded
Here is a USN Boeing P-8A Anti-Submarine plane - one of the only planes in the world that can generate a radio pulse capable of reaching to the depth of the pipeline - flying along the length of the pipeline almost exactly 24 hours before it exploded
Here is President of the United States Joseph Robinette Biden, stating that the Nord Stream 2 project - which competes with US LNG sales to Europe - will not be allowed to continue; just out of frame is Chancellor of Germany Olaf Scholz, who offers no form of contradiction or rebuttal
It took a shamefully long time for it to hit me: if they both disappeared, how could anyone know they slipped off a ladder? 
One of the SEALs must have been in radio contact with someone to pass on the fact that the first guy fell in - but if they had a radio, how were they not recovered?
If this was a parody it would be too on-the-nose, it's literally the PERFECT review 
Only Colonels and above, which means they have to have been there for at least 10 working days

No they fucking don't! They have an extremely short history of conflict, this shit kicked off literally just ten years ago!!
In 2014, the US launched a coup against Ukraine to replace the democratically elected government with Nazis (and I don't mean that hyperbolically, I mean actual Hitler-worshipping Nazis) who immediately started persecuting the minority of Russian-speaking Ukrainians. After eight fucking years of doing nothing as the Ukrainian Nazis constantly escalated, Putin finally got it through his thick skull that the west was never going to treat them as an equal and launched an incredibly restrained military action to knock the coupists out of the Ukrainian government and protect the now-autonomous Russian-speaking regions.
The result is this:
When a peace deal was about to be signed in April 2022, Boris Johnson personally flew to Kiev and through a combination of lies and threats convinced Zelensky to tear up the deal and continue fighting.
The unfathomable devastation, the destruction of enormous swathes of infrastructure and the catastrophic death toll of Ukrainian men are squarely the fault of the Nazi regime in Kiev and their western - let's not beat around the bush - their US handlers. Ukraine had a peaceful and beneficial relationship with Russia from independence all the way up to the moment the US took direct control of it and suicided it into Russia for their own geopolitical gain.
