The west doing regime change in russia a thing that famously works and doesn’t bite the west in the ass decades down the line
i thought the goal was to defend ukraine's sovereignty? now you tell me we've been trying to fuck russia up again? damn man.
The Nalvany polling is particularly telling considering how hard the west is pushing that :frothingfash: as some sort of progressively enlightened liberal. They're talking to themselves.
im not super informed on Russian politics. is Navalny fash?
iirc he gave an eradicationist speech comparing muslims to cockroaches
I always kinda wondered how the Orthodox crowd and Muslims got along, seeing as Russia has regions like the Chechens and neighbors/was formerly joined with Kazakhstan. Has to compare and contrast with the US' flavor of Islamophobia in varying ways.
Multiple, as well as 'hilarious' pro-gun ads like this - CW Warning! Racism, violence.
His entire political history is basically getting kicked out of 'liberal' parties for extreme nationalist, racism and anti-immigration politics, and associating with movements and marchs of the far right, literal royalists, and white supremicists. He's only started hiding it recently since the west began positioning him for clueless libs.
If we just repeat 1991 then they’ll all disapprove of Putler and embrace the west
Oh no, what use could a country at war possibly have for all its extra steel? Russia is in trouble now.
:maybe-later-kiddo: their weapons are weak! They’re literally made of playdo. Their nukes literally do not work!
Okay, let's see how that plays out for ya :what-the-hell:
The original reporting this refers to is kind of weird. There is no quote offered where she mentions regime change, no video or even explicit statement that she is answering a question about regime change when she says “The goal is definitely to do that, is to weaken Russia’s ability to launch very difficult attacks against Ukraine. We want also to make sure that Putin and his enablers are held to account."
I'm not saying she didn't say it, but it's kind of fishy, like this is a very slippery newspaper (for USians - this is a reactionary rag that hates Trudeau) and if she really said that in response to a question about regime change it's weird that they left the detail out.
Makes me wonder if they're just interpreting "holding Putin to account" as regime change, which would be a really fringe interpretation of the sentence.
To be clear, the fringe interpretation I'm referring to would be that of the National Post, they put it in their headline.
(for USians - this is a reactionary rag that hates Trudeau)
I mean, it is an American newspaper.
might just be confusion due to words being weird. steel is an alloy, which means its a metal. but some people think of the periodic table classification of metals and think a metal has to be a single element. but no, metals have certain properties: thermal and electrical conductivity, ductility, and malleability. thus, alloys are metals. even nonmetals like iodine and hydrogen become metals at high pressures. also some metals like sodium can become nonmetallic at the right temp and pressure
