They probably also have an exit plan to emigrate to some other anglophone country or to the European Union.

Who else other than Megatron likes to attack energy infrastructure such as nuclear power plants (https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/russia-has-resumed-shelling-around-zaporizhzhia-nuclear-power-plant-ukrainian-official-says), oil refinaries...

Most of the dissenters probably have already fled or are buried in a mass grave somewhere.

The point was to give these powers a stake in the UN and a guarantee that it couldn't be used against them while their future participation gave the UN legitimacy. France with the vestiges of their Empire and a desire to be the third pole in the Cold War and the USSR with their influence in the...

William is even worse apparently especially if you believe the rumors. Edit: For example his whole tour of the Caribbean was pretty much a disaster.(https://www.newsweek.com/prince-william-kate-middleton-disaster-tour-caribbean-cost-uk-public-expensive-1720308).

Al Jazeera is literally a propaganda arm for the Qatari government, the guys busted for using slave labor (https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2019/02/reality-check-migrant-workers-rights-with-four-years-to-qatar-2022-world-cup/).

Technically most of the "oligarchs" (in the 90s Yeltsin era sense) and current ruling elites (the so called siloviki) had origins as Soviet era apparatchiks of various sorts. I think the late Karen Dawisher has argued in a lecture that many of them robbed the Soviet state and undermined...

The gun deaths in Japan are not even comparable to the incidents in places likes America. These are all firearm related incidents in Japan from 2012-2021 (excluding suicides/accidents). I am not saying it's okay, but the number of incidents in 2021 alone would probably be just a week in a city...

That's because both are insurgent candidates who somehow miraculously got into a leadership position. Of course being weak leaders themselves they had to use compromised supporters. Boris had people like Pincher and Paterson and Starscream had the Combaticons.

Cellphone grade photos of most of the book: it's a She-Ra-He-Man/TF crossover https://www.bilibili.com/read/cv5837533 Also this site has second hand copies from various sellers, but I guess they only ship within China...

Oh please. Obama was even more culpable than Reagan/Bush/Clinton/Bush II. He tried to anoint Hillary as his successor and that backfired spectacularly with Trump winning the election and flipping the court. Outside of Clinton and Trump, he is the person most responsible for this disaster. Not to...

I never doubted him. We have been fucked since Trump was elected.

Clarence Thomas's nomination was probably his fault since he was the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and there was the whole Anita Hill allegations against Thomas that could have sunk him. I mean Biden does shoulder some blame there along with his current refusal to expand the current...

Aren't you an American? How is that any different? It's pretty hypocritical to condemn Jews trying to flee anti-Semitism/Pogroms/the Holocaust while you pretty much live on the land genocided from the Native people. At least Israel only displaced the former inhabitants compared to outright...

a) Those are members of the communist party, which is basically has become an umbrella party for dissenters and covers everything to anti-mandate anti-vaxxers to people who want to stop the war. b) The people dying in the war are the poor and ethnic minorities from the outlying regions (aka...

More like to protect themselves. We have seen plenty of times that they don't care about the law.

It was literally one of the designer's kids who wanted more poseability that apparently convinced them to do this. The production committees are really out of touch in regards to toys. Edit: To give you an example Shirakura who is in his late 50s when asking for how to make sentai robots...

The Dems simply lack the sort of political organization and coordination and resources that the GOP has in term of media control/party control/political operatives. Dems are constantly imo being outmaneuvered due to the latter. What the GOP has accomplished was many years in the making. The...

I'm just pointing out voting isn't as useful or the end all be all that people on the internet are making it out to be. If you look at it in totally strategic terms, voting for the left is entirely defensive to shore up and maintain a crumbling status quo and it's not working. However the...
