Turkey is a nato member on paper only. Theyre more interested in garbing a sphere of influence in the middle east as Iran falters.

We have been de facto at war for a while. And world War 3 has already been raging for years now. Just none of it is presently like the movies and fiction told people what it would be.

Depending on what America decides to do the next year could see a change in that. Russia and Europe could start shooting at each other sooner than anyone wants to admit. Not because Europe is itching to get into a nuclear war. But more because Russia is a dying nation and will act more and more erratic as they lose control of their empire.

It’d almost be funny to watch the country tear itself apart. Except there’s the problem of everyone else having to still live in that world. And presently there’s still a rabies infected mouth foaming nazi Russia to deal with. So the adults still have to show up for work regardless of what nonsense America is going to fall into

Most of the dead on october 7th were civilians. Yes, they killed a lot of Israeli soldiers, ambushing them in their outposts. But they killed far more unarmed non-combatants.

Whoever is behind it (All signs point to Russia or China). this is war posturing behaivor, and they’re relying on legal loophole to commit hostile actions against Finland, the EU, and NATO. good on Finland for taking action, regardless of what lawyers say. you dont call the police when armed hooligans are already breaking into your house. You grab your strap.

I’ve carefully considered Russia’s concerns and security, and after 3 years I’ve ultimately decided that I don’t give a fuck about Genocidal Fascist Warmonger’s Fee-fees.

Ukraine’s sovereingty doesn’t end where Russian hurt feelings begin.

Well, they control the media, they monitor the tools we use to communicate with each other online. they spy on us. Most of the governments are subservient to them. And the few times someone actually does get through to burn something or someone, they pull out all the stops, and charge them with terrorism.

seems to me that the “world elites” already won the game.

America’s slide into fascism isn’t at the top of my problems list. seeing as I’m not American. I’m more concerned with the general “America is turning hostile against its allies, and friendly towards enemies of the free world like Russia”.

Most probably just see the Israel Arab conflict as another wing of the same global war that Ukraine is involved in. to Kyiv, Israel is fighting against an amalgamation of terrorist groups and states that are all allied with the aggressor Russia, and some of them are directley aiding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine Iran.

Thus, when you’re being sold out and stabbed in the back every day, you have to resort to ruthless pragmatism, you can be Pro Ukraine, and Anti-Israel, but you should also recognize that the side fighting against Israel, is also fighting against Ukraine.

Ukraine has been dealing with Russian influence and subterfuge in its country on such a scale for centuries that its essentially like a brain parasite, they’ve had to resort to some extreme measures to try to combat this control, there’s no sense in being soft or cautious about it anymore as Russia has launched a full scale war against them and the way their troops and statesmen have behaved, they’ve essentially declared their intent is to exterminate the very idea of the nation.

so when those are the stakes. Ukraine will do a lot of things that seem weird. changing christmas, forcing themselves to stop speaking russian and speak ukrainian, etc. its total war. this is what happens in total war.

the russian orthodox church is also under the direct control of the kremlin, Patriarch Kirill is a KGB gangster like Putin, he just wears a fancy hat, but most of his preaching about god is usually in relation to killing and fighting. its just a state war church at this point.

Nope. the days of pretending are over. Now its the days of gangsters with “fuck you money” ruling the country, and everyone else being told to deal with it. Basically Russia in the 1990s as everything is robbed and pilfered by private interests

America’s fate is sealed, the country we’ve known, flaws and all is done. Before it was an Oligarchy pretending to be a Democratic Republic, Now its just going to stop pretending, America’s going to resemble Russia in the 90s for a bit as the country gets carved up by corporate interests and gangsters in suits

its probbly the rear projection. it looked like this, but my memory tells me it was quite a bit bigger https://i.redd.it/ig6k6bngyaca1.jpg

edit - its actually probably that same model i linked or a bigger version of the same line, its an RCA, I know they had a lot of those throughout the years, my grandfather ran a furinture, electronics, appliance and computer store in the early 2000s and the house was always full of Panasonic, RCA, and “Zenith” electronics. As well as the occasional thing from the more well known brands like Hitachi, Toshiba, and Sony.

but Zenith and RCA were dominant there

double edit - it appears RCA went defunct before I was even born, so if it was an RCA it would have been something he bought used, or had kicking around from before I was born.

this just sent me down a nostalgia rabbithole.

in the late 90s and early 2000s my grandparents had two interesting Televisions in the house, one was a very large CRT TV that they kept using until the late 2000s or early 2010s. but the other was an ENORMOUS flatscreen that was so big it looked like a CRT on the back, I dont even know what kind of technology it was, Im assuming it wasn’t a CRT though if this one here in this video is the largest, because the one they had was 2-3 times its size horizontally. (they had it in the late 90s, Im g oing to assume it was an early version of a plasma but im not sure really)

That is literally a bullshit copypaste psyop that Russia regurgitated for over a decade to drum up a false narrative.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_have_you_been_for_eight_years%3F

Unless you’re just a Russian who’s obligated to regurgitate your Nazi state Rhetoric, I’d suggest you educate yourself a little bit on the history of what caused this conflict, the sooner you realize that Russia has been waging probably the largest information war in history in the years leading up to this war.

**Understand one fundemental thing. Russia is a country that is mentally stuck in the 1700s and is obsessed over big lines on maps, speheres of influence, Emprie. It wants these things, It cant have these things without blood. It wont abandon its pursuit of these things. Russia wants America and NATO out of the picture so it can pick on who it wants. Russia has absolutely no chance of defeating NATO in a military conflict. So their only hope in a confrontation is to have the other side tear itself apart internally, everything they’ve done online the past 15 to 20 years has been in pursuit of that end goal. **

the sooner you realize that, you’ll stop making a fool of yourself, doing their work for them by posting the same garbage that they cooked up in a military internet troll farm to aid their tinpot worldview goals. And if you dont, well, dont bother replying with more of your crap to me, because I Have an acute sense for Russian Nazi / Kremlin propaganda. You’re wasting your time.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. Whataboutisms are bad and you should feel bad

This is a gross and uneducated understanding of the issues that led to the revolution.

yeah, we still have a TV package but I havent had a TV in my office where I spend most of my awake off-time, there’s nothing worth watching anymore for me, just awful programming , news, sports, and PPV/Inferior on demand services.

I dont even use netflix anymore, I rage-quit after falling for that tyson paul bait and switch scam. the only “TV” I watch anymore is like streams of 15 year old adult cartoons like the Boondocks and South Park. and whatevers on my buddy’s Plex server. almost entirely old stuff more than 5 years old.

watching the news is just brain rot. you can get informed by 10 mins of scrolling current events on many different websites… if you feel the need to be informed.

I hate those words by association. thanks Elon

people can dress it in whatever positive or negative light they want over the p*rn issue. the larger issue at hand IMO is that its the government stepping into people’s private lives and telling them how to live. “Your culture is immoral, you need to learn morals and modesty. you are being reprimanded for your immoral behaivor” These views are Considered Immoral by some but perfectly fine by others.

lets call it what it is, its the people who err on the bible thumping side of the fence, trying to enforce their views on the rest of the people.

I’m a supporter of more scrutiny in general when it comes to kids having access to stuff online, (A lot of stuff, not just 18+ things). but that’s obviously the avenue that the Morality Police are trying to take to go after society in general
