He keeps managing to be even worse that I already thought he is.

Threatening all your allies with pointless wars is definitely something stable countries do. It's surely not a sign of a declining power desperately cannibalising its allies so it can last a few more decades.

I started playing AC6 about a week ago. I laughed out loud when these fuckers turned up.

I guess it has been a hectic few weeks, we were bound to miss things.

The Americans and Europeans are just too ideologically stuck in neoliberalism to reindustrialise. China's already out paced the in most manufacturing, and they see to be catching up with the more high-tech stuff like microchips as well. The only thing the US seem to be able to do about is sabre rattle and eat their allies.

That said, I do find it darkly funny that Europe's economy is getting cannibalised to keep the US afloat, the Euros spent the last 2 centuries doing that to the rest of the world.

I have to wonder if letting the Israelis occupy parts of the country is going to go for HTS. I can't do much for their legitimacy, and it'd hard to say how good their grip on power is right now. Can they just suppress dissent like Sisi?

Seeing his social media posts and having a poorly thought out manifesto ruins the folk hero mystique to me. Now he's just another politically incoherent American.

She's a good space dog really. She's just a little scary looking.

How many fronts do these assholes want? They're going to pick a fight with Jordan and pretty soon if they want their massive enthostate.

Wow, I never heard about that. Sometimes I forget that Japan had a lot of radical movements when Ashita no Joe was running.

As for the Ashita no Joe itself, I'd definitely recommend it. I don't think there's anything explicitly left wing about it, but it's more frank about its depiction of both poverty and boxing than most sports manga I've seen (which admittedly, isn't a lot).

Maybe it's nostalgia, but I agree that it was a sweet spot for game development. Developers and artists were more confident with making games in 3d, and they could do it cheaply enough that even big companies would publish pretty experimental games.

Then the shift to HD happened a budgets and dev times skyrocketed, leading to the dreaded Brown and Bloom "Realistic" Third-Person Shooter with a bald protagonist.

If I'm reading this correctly, China seems to be directly undermining trump planned tariff spree?

Unsurprisingly, I ended up with a similar result to everyone else here. Some of the questions were a little odd, The anti-vax stuff probably pushes very hard on the dissident end. I suspect that's why many of us aren't that far on the Y axis.

This is just grim.

So when NATO has fought to the last Ukrainian, they'll just occupy what's left? The west should just take the L at this point, this will only make thing worse.

I'm in awe of Slammer. Their post never miss.

That was quick. I knew the Israelis would break it, but I thought they at least wait a day or two before trying to find an excuse to invade agian.

I'm really unsure what this will mean in practice, It doesn't sound like either side gets much from the terms that I've seen so far.

Damn, they're way more compromised than I imagined, that's straight up something a democrat spokesperson would say.

Looks like he barely sleeps at all towards the end of the graph. Just posting 24/7 out of his mind on ketamine.

It's telling that all the UK's recent Prime Minister had negative approval ratings. Really puts into question the state of British democracy (that and still having a fucking king).
