While that is the excuse he will use, the justification comes after, he’s going to slaughter thousands of civilians either way.

A settler-colony founded on ethnic cleansing claiming to be the victim, rich.

How else do you stop psychopaths who just leveled 6 apartment towers in the heart of Beirut if not with violence?

He was targeted by the most powerful groups in society, immigrants.

One day, this country’s most marginalized group, police, will rise up, and get the boot of homeless people off their necks.

Why are all of NYC’s mayors such reactionary pieces of shit, 10 miles to the right of the populace?

be critical of information coming in

The atomic unit of propaganda isn’t lies, it’s emphasis. Most propaganda doesn’t take the form of false information, but true facts spun in a certain way to build/reinforce a specific worldview in the viewer.

Tencent owns 11% of Reddit. Reddit is primarily a US propaganda operation.

Tiktok is wholly owned by a Chinese company, but unlike the rest of the world, the US version is hosted and managed entirely within the US, this (along with hiring a bunch of spooks and killing controversial things in the algo like BLM) was done in response to the Trump administration trying to come up with excuses to ban it.

I don’t see why China catching CIA agents would concern Americans. Most Americans are not CIA agents inside China.

You missed all the walls they tore down because “open concept”.

Yes, I’m criticizing the AP for not mentioning the man’s innocence or lack of evidence and non-recanted witness statements.

wtf is that headline?

My point is “is she going to take the necessary action to whip the vote”, Manchin isn’t the only dem senator who’d rather the democrats didn’t accomplish anything as it could hurt their donors.

Well is she gonna overturn President Joe Mansion’s veto?

Does she feel like appointing an AG who will go after him and his family’s various conflicts of interests?

Democrats are just as capable of whipping a vote as republicans when they feel like it.

Between 1970 and 1990, the USSR built, launched, and crewed 7 space stations. Without Moscow holding them back, over the last 34 years, Ukraine (and Russia for that matter) have put up a total of zero.

In 2020, 50%+ of Ukrainians 70+, that is, most Ukrainians old enough to remember the USSR as an adult, regretted the dissolution. In 2000, it was ~90%.

The USSR wasn’t a utopia by any means, but it was far better than what came after.

In what way is it disingenuous to frame Canada sending thousands of soldiers to a foreign nation to carry out a war as an invasion?

Canada did invade Afghanistan though?

The point was that it’s silly to try to divide up and assign individual responsibility for the achievements of the USSR 30-100+ years ago when those achievements were only possible because Ukraine and Russia were part of a greater whole.

If you’re talking about the whole “human wave” thing in WWII, the ex-Nazis made that up for their memoirs.

Ironically, there actual cases of human-wave like attacks in WWII, notably banzai charges by Japan and MacArthur’s Walking Fire.

A good number of people did until early 2022. It looked a lot better on paper.

Did it? I remember a ton of propaganda about Putin and Russia going back to the Obama era, but then they’d show off stuff the USSR had developed to fight a war in Germany/Ukraine against late 1900s American equipment and tactics.

Whereas China was showing off their modern fighters, tank and ship production, and an entire branch of the military dedicated to missiles, and greater numbers than any other military, all designed to fight their next war; defending against/driving the US out of it’s back yard.
