Putin and his cronies creep into the Ukranian barracks at night, trying to stifle their giggles as they use a permanent marker to draw swastikas and black suns on everyone while they're still asleep
They're woefully inadequate for the war. They're decent fighters but they're notoriously hard to fly, they're short ranged, and have a limited service ceiling.
Anything fielded by the Russians or Ukranians is superior to the F-16. Even if the Ukranians were given the shiniest, newest upgraded version of the jet, it would just be mulched by the Russian airforce immediately, let alone their AA weapons.
I'm legitimately afraid of what happens at the end of this war, because it seems like it'll just be an ethnic cleansing or outright genocide of Russians.
Libs have become so frothing in their hatred that they can't turn it off anymore. Every Russian is a threat to them, so even if the war somehow ends in Ukranian victory they'll want every Russian expelled or ostracized, or worse if Russia wins. And of course libs want Russia to Balkanize, which they'd love to use as a way to culturally genocide them: only Russians from the Balkanized states allowed and all that.
But of course libs in the west aren't able to tell the difference between Russian and any other language from eastern Europe, so there's gonna be so many hate crimes even against Ukranians.
I'm aware this is a bit
However
I cannot express how much I want to see a sequel to "I'm sorry, we didn't know it was invisible" but with an F35
Marx writes a book where he gets a little annoyed about the cost of linen and coats and shit while begging for money from his sugar daddy
Then these dorks come around and try to tell everyone he was some evil Machiavellian genius who wanted to murder billions
They consider their ideology to be vastly superior and that ideas should be debated in an open marketplace to see which is better.
Yet they're terrified of letting a few hundred commies post.
Curious 
Christ, I haven't seen that tier of edgy atheism and Islamophobia since the early 2010s of Reddit 
Edit: fuck me. Someone wrote a thread about why so many posts are Islamophobic and one guy said something on the order of: Christianity is on the decline and isn't being used to justify bad stuff anymore, whereas Islam is currently the dominant religion doing bad stuff in the world
Lemmy is fucking lucky we're not federating, I want to Pig Poop Balls these dorks so fucking bad
While I disagree with his "just move, silly" attitude, he's not completely off base. North American cities are so fucking shattered by car dependence that it would take a full communist revolution to even begin to set it right. It would cost several hundreds of billions just to overhaul (or in some cases begin work on) transit projects, and any project attempted in the current day is at the mercy of NIMBY fucks and the whims of local governments. It's just not feasible for 95% of North America.
Collective punishment. The West wants the people to overthrow Putin, and think that if they ostracize and ban Russians from everything, the Russians will turn on Putin so they'll be allowed back into "polite society" tm.
doubles as a passing/shoulder lane
This is going to get so many people killed, drivers are at their fucking worst when they go to pass another driver. They get frothing mad about a driver being slow and will move quickly without looking or warning.
I've seen some truly bazinga brained libs be disgusted at themselves for owning a Tesla and try to sell it, all because Musk doesn't support Ukraine.
The chicken plucking version of the Stalin animal torture story is hilarious to me ever since someone pointed out to me that plucking a chicken is a very long process and the chicken, quite naturally, is gonna be fighting back
So just imagining Stalin wrestling with a squirming chicken, getting the shit scratched out of him for twenty minutes while his officers watch and wait for him to make a point is just fucking hilarious
No no, you don't understand. We can't hold elections now because those dastardly Russians would manipulate the elections to make Elensky lose and replace him with a pro-Russian puppet! We have to wait until [unspecified time] to ensure no Russian interference!
Can't wait for some libs I know to find this and confidently assure me that it's because China was hiding 20 million deaths from the world when in reality half the US stopped counting Covid infections let alone deaths within two months 
I apologize, that all came out harsher than intended. I do agree, as a religion Christianity has pretty much been the dominant for the worst shit the world's dealt with. My home country had Christian-backed genocides well into the 90s, and that shit is inexcusable.
It came from me finding liberation theology an interesting concept, but not if it comes at the cost of harming comrades - that's equally inexcusable. I'm sorry, comrade.
Matthew 25 is a parable about stewardship, and how one should try to improve with what they're given - the last line there is directed to a man who was entrusted with a bag of gold, and instead of doing anything with it simply buried it. It is still some prosperity gospel bullshit though, as it's presented with the framing of a slaveowner expecting investment returns from his slaves - it Ain't Good, that's for sure.
Matthew 10 is in the context of an argument between family, not Jesus coming to rend families forcefully apart. The full passage is about how what the disciples are going out to preach will cause divisions, because they're preaching something new that goes against what was at the time the ruling class, which sounds a bit familiar to me.
I don't disagree that the Bible has some fucked up shit, and that it has been used to justify some of if not all the world's most heinous events, but I'd like to think we're all better than 
atheists grabbing single lines from larger passages.
It's less about the effectiveness and more about setting up future atrocity propaganda. When China inevitably begins targeting every cargo aircraft, the West can clutch their pearls and go "that aircraft was loaded with humanitarian supplies destined for a small village!" Which could absolutely be true, and now causes a choice: possibly let a cruise missile be launched from anywhere at any moment, or risk a major international incident.
Similar shit happened with Q ships in WW1 and 2, the Germans just began targeting every vessel, even seemingly unarmed passenger liners, because of how often arms were being smuggled in or the ships were being used as anti sub ships.
Speaking on behalf of my finned brethren, we will begin talks with the Cactus Vanguard shortly
Two decades of nonstop war against insurgents armed with rifles and Toyota trucks really fucking shattered people's perception of what a war looks like.
Russia took some losses because it's going up against peer level equipment apparently means Russia is weak and pathetic for not conquering a whole nation with minimum losses.
Westoids must really think that if WW3 was to break out they'd roll their enemies and take just a handful of unfortunate, "lucky" for the enemy losses.
"You know Japan can simply surrender to the US, right? The longer they stay at war with us, the longer we will imprison and punish them for Hirohito's reckless behaviour until they learn to respect the national sovereignty of another country."
Collective punishment is terrorism and serves no legitimate purpose, but will always cause stronger rallying around the government being "punished".
