There’s a pathway here to a Turkish-Russian alliance backing jihadis vs the Israelis & Kurds & US.
Syria is such a fucking mess but, aside from the fact Russia spent most of a decade bombing the Jihadis, that’s the alignment that starts to make sense.
IMO that looks like some street light refracting through glass
The problem is that the dems didn’t capture enough GOP voters. They really need to reach across the aisle and appeal to the MAGA base.
I really want Go but without a garbage collector is that too much to ask
Is a language spoken at school worth the horrors of war?
Then why tf did Ukraine walk away from the deal they signed in Istanbul right at the start of the war?
Obviously to the people of Donbas it was worth fighting for. It was their language rights, apparently it meant a lot to them.
Terrorism against civilians is uncool and you totally shouldn’t do that but terrorism in the supply chain is a line one just cannot cross.
Anecdotally I do much better when drinking one of those muscle builder protein shakes in the morning. I wonder if it’s the vitamins or the fact it contains precursors to important brain chemicals? But it could just be I tend to drink those when I’m on a health kick.
I use func_{UUID} for security reasons
If Russia believes they can push Ukraine out then all this achieves is to delay a cease fire and Ukraine isn’t even able to hold their extremely well fortified Donbas line so they won’t be able to hold in Kursk.
It’s Battle of the Bulge. This is the last hoorah. The next step is either the Donbas line breaks, which makes Kursk irrelevant, or they rush the elite units out of Kursk to reinforce the Donbas line, which means Kursk falls.
They’ve scored a PR win only and that’s not actually worth much.
Why do people hate Richard Nixon so much? The dude introduced price controls, made peace with china advancing the dialectic of a future global communist state, enacted far reaching environmental protections, and he fought hard against the deep state and CIA.
Nixon was fucking based. What are the bad things he did someone needs to remind me before I buy a T-shirt.
The US won’t shoot at Turkey but they’ll give guns to the Kurds. They already have been.
And the Jihadis were backed by Israel and were being bombed by Russia but Uno Reverso.
I think all Russia cares about in this is Tartarus. They dgaf who runs Syria so long as they get that naval base. And the Jihadis dgaf who supplies them so long as they get their caliphate. It’s a swipe right.
