Literally any sort of Russia post on Reddit now has a thread where discussion goes over how Russia's nukes really don't work and can't hurt us.
NATO lovers really do be thinking they can win a nuclear war.
:doomjak:
Western Oligarchs probably don't want a hot war with russia anyways. And libs forget that they don't have control over the government.
It's wild to me how much of a charmed existence Trump is experiencing right now. A few random clips of him talking about gas prices going up to $7, 8, 9 under Biden and about being independent to Russian oil, and the right is just slobbering all over him. Meanwhile, libs are absolutely malding and attempting to cope, despite their chosen admin feeding the Trump blob by continually fucking up.
All that talk about "we'll pay more at the pump if it beats Pootin" bullshit is going to seem really funny when the hordes can't fill up their 22 gallon tank Ford F-350000s in a couple weeks time
Democrats literally incapable of not handing it to him. The coping and seething will be hilarious this time, followed by the haunting knowledge that were going further down the drain.
Russia supplies 40% of the world's palladium supply. That's used in catalytic converters, dental implants... and capacitors. Capacitors are used in tons of electronics.
The capacitors is especially brutal. These days I work in electronics manufacturing and we're not even over the chip shortage, once our backlog of electronic cards catches up we'll now have a backlog of capacitors and we are already crippled to a certain extent.
That “we will pay more at the poot if it destroys Pumpin” rhetoric is going to age like milk
Lol my :reddit-logo: account got suspended for three days for "suspicious activity" immediately after I argued with one of the r/politics mods (in a different sub) about the extent of Ukrainian fascism and he accused me of being "an obvious Russian asset"
Who am I going to annoy now?
Go find a random shitlib YouTube video and start dropping comments to rile the libs up
You could post Ben Garrison cartoons in r/PoliticalHumor. And if the mods decide it's humor - the redditors who live in /new would really hate you. /new is nuts.
It's not enough that they force posts they don't like to 0 karma. They want all such posts nuked by the mods.
Another idea is to post old Trump tweets. I did that the other day to needle them. It was political and Trump is funny. But I bet it was reported at least half a dozen times anyway.
just do what i do and shadowbox in megathreads on hexbear.. a good way to get the bullshit out of your system without having to deal with more reddit bullshit
Hilary will actually win outright this time, but be soft-couped by faithless electors and the supreme court.
She's just gonna eat shit one more time. And then immediately announce another run in 2028.
It's gonna be a Hillary/Kamala ticket and shitlib centrists are gonna act shocked when Trump wins with 80% of the vote (with record low turnout)
https://reddit.com/r/JoeBiden/comments/t9rbkh/who_else_can_easily_say_the_country_is_in_much/
Who else can easily say the country is in much better shape now then it was in January 2021?
Republicans love to point out high gas prices, high inflation, and rising goods prices as cons but in reality I think the country is doing great. We don't really need those things to be cheap anyway I find. President Biden and VP Harris are doing an amazing job! And how about the great handling of Russia? Crashing the ruble is a great idea, stops that evil damn dictator and his people from being able to function. What an amazing President we have!
which of you posted this parody lmao
Some libs are seriously thinking that Trumpists and the right are in their last legs because the sanctions cuts off their Russian funding.
Meanwhile in the material world chuds are going around slapping Biden stickers on gas pumps.
Per Al Jazeera:
On Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the Russian army is planning a violent assault on the city, calling it an “historical crime”. Earlier last week, he dismissed the civilian governor of Odesa province, Serhiy Hrynevetsky, and replaced him with Maksym Marchenko, an army colonel and former leader of the controversial Aidar battalion, which has fought in the Donbas region in Ukraine’s east since 2014.
"Controversial", there's that word again.
holy shit

it's super cool that america is very worried about the lives of white people. nevermind those 1 million dead Iraqis and Afganis.
Don't worry, we've got reckoning with the blood price of American empire penciled in for 2024, provided no other crises happen.
provided no other crises happen.
provided no other crises happen.
provided no other crises happen.
Eh. It's just two years. What could go wrong?
That's close to the minimum count of direct deaths too. If you count indirect deaths the total count is 4 times higher at minimum.
So a take I'm seeing posted and upvoted a bunch is "the US barely imports any gas from Russia there's no reason gas prices should go up".
If this resonates with you, I want to [once again] offer criticism as a comrade in the form of an ELI10, since a liberal will [correctly] see this an economically illiterate position and I don't ever want to see people handing them an easy dunk.
Oil and gas are global markets, so everything is intertwined. If you're an EU-region petroleum broker down in your office in Texas, you're seeing Europe take a nosedive since they just lost a major portion of their petroleum supply due to the sanctions. Now that they are willing to pay US$7-8 per gallon, that's more than enough to cover the cost of putting it on a boat and getting it over to them and still come out ahead of the current US$3-4 a gallon in the US and Canada, so you start selling to them and raking it in (probably gonna pull a massive bonus at the end of the year). Your colleague who manages US sales at the desk next to you is gonna watch you do this, and tell their clients that they're gonna need to pony up the equivalent of US$5 a gallon to compete with this, otherwise everything is gonna go on the boat since that's more profitable for Exxon and whoever.
Only just reading that the US re-affirmed commitment to continue 'intervening' in Yemen on behalf of Saudi Arabia. And are likely only begging to help more now that they want more oil.
Doing precisely what Russia is doing (except to non-whites so it's okay), like, right now. It's happening now. The UN called it 'the worst humanitarian crisis in the world'. Three million people displaced. Around 100,000 children starved to death. Yes, Ukraine matters a whole lot and fuck Russia, but holy shit has the situation in Yemen been worse for over a decade now, and the west are still playing an active part in that right fucking now. And only affirming its position to keep doing so.
If our foreign policy is based on genuine concern for human welfare, there are big steps we could take, unilaterally, tomorrow, to help that. Sadly, it seems the major motivation is "russia bad", and hurting or helping Ukrainians here and there is just a side effect.
