Imagine the reaction when Ukraine surrenders.

who here comfortably smug?

The character's name is Alunya, as in Catalunya (Catalonia) if I'm not mistaken.

the old neoliberal technocrats are already swimming like sharks around the interim government. In their ranks are those who favor the BNP and the Islamists.

I wonder if they are getting Western backing/money.

If the student committee now formed a bloc with the trade unions, particularly the garment worker unions, there is the possibility that they might indeed form the opening for building a new democratic and people-centered Bangladesh.

I'm pessimistic, I'm old enough to have seen many promising movements fade/disappear.

If they are unable to build this historical bloc, they may be pushed to the side, just like the students and workers in Egypt, and they might have to surrender their efforts to the military and an elite that has merely changed its jersey.

So it goes. And as long as the US, et al. exist this is how things will continue to go.

Ukraine is losing, despite their copestrikes.

Sure, but you have to remember that DPRK wants unification, not to completely destroy SK.

More like a betrayal myth to rile up the neo-nazis.

Democrats hate democracy.

Liberals (liberal establishment/media) have already started laying the groundwork for the upcoming narrative.

Ukraine lost because of Trump (despite the election taking place 7 months from now and despite the next president being inaugurated in January of next year).

And Ukraine lost because of "pro-Russian" elements in the EU, that is anti-NATO and anti-war people who don't want to see taxpayer (working class) money be wasted on a corrupt country like Ukraine that never stood a chance anyway.

The narrative is that Ukraine was winning, that they could have won had it not been for the aforementioned people. Liberals/democrats blame Republicans for stopping the Ukraine aid (after 100+B sent) yet they don't wonder how Biden and the MIC is able to greenlight billions to Israel without congress' approval.

I hate liberals on an ideological level, but on a personal level I absolutely despise them, they disgust me. Them and their "We could have done ____, had it not been for ____." Every time they get power they don't know what to do with it, that's why every time liberals "win" like WWI and after, fascists take power. That's pretty much what happened in Ukraine during and after Euromaidan. Liberals know they are weak and pathetic, so they use fascists to do the things they know they can't.

Thank you for listening to my TEDx talk.

Well yeah, they don't want unification because they think northern Ireland will become a burden on the republic. Perhaps things will change in the future.

I'm all for the breakup of Great Britain. It'd be nice if NI joined the republic and Scotland became independent... An empire spanning the globe and controling 25% of it reduced to England and Wales. A fitting end.

But Kinzhal isn't a "real" hypersonic missile because it doesn't maneuver and change trajectory while at hypersonic speeds. That's why it is possible to intercept it at the last moment when it is on its way to the target.

I was also skeptical about their claims, but I am inclined to believe them because they say they shot down one a year ago. A situation where stars align, similar to Serbs shooting down a "stealth" F-117A in 1999 using a Soviet S-300 system.

Russia hasn't used their whole arsenal in Ukraine, they haven't used their "glide" hypersonic missiles, the ones that maneuver while hypersonic and can't be intercepted by Western AA. Those are the ones that can reach EU capitals within 5 minutes to deliver a nuclear warhead.
