There was a bit from Soviet TV of early eighties. Rough translation of hosts words:

USSR is a big country, we'll live with these sanctions just fine, but Washington's allies will be hit from these "cowboy jumps" much harder.

So I'd say it's always all good and stable for Russia until some certain point.

There were few mentions from Z-bloggers how during Ukrainian attacks people hide in hotels or some civilian infrastructure like that. And that makes them safe. Draws quite a contrast to Russian "responses".

Countries that recognize Palestine are marked green.

He will have a hard time negotiating with just about anyone, if that's a problem.

Many people just think, that "it's happening somewhere else" to soothe their anxiety, that it's not going to get to them or whatever, or that it's simply not their problem.

And I'll be honest - I also was like that, even while our city officials were testing air raid sirens and doing alarm drills, I, while deeply unsettled by these preparations, hoped that it'll pass and that's all bluff. Until one morning.

Do better, EU!

~~Entirely ban minors from Internet.~~

~~Ban social media!~~

In all seriousness though, if there's something that by some consensus can considered unhealthy for kids, such as big social media - it's more than likely to be unhealthy for adults too. However simply banning anything often just manufactures people's craving for the "forbidden fruit", so instead of that they could rather fund more educational initiatives to teach people about responsibly and safely surfing the net.

My favourite aspect of this is Taco Don attempting to extend his questionable "deal expertise" to international affairs and failing miserably almost every time.

So basically whenever he tries to do something in a field, that requires at least a bit of getting acquittanced with background information, understanding of underlying processes, and where results can be exactly measured (unlike in real estate business) - he scores an F, almost every time.

Anybody gonna tell him that the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza is big part thanks to his admin sending enormous aid packages to Israel? And what pains me the most is redirection of tens of thousands of AA rockets meant for Ukraine.

Makes me think how China could've eventually reunited with Taiwan if they just played a long game and didn't destroy Hong Kong's autonomy. But instead authoritarian habits kicked in.

Okay, this is low-key hilarious, albeit morbid, considering the essence of the topic. Guy who was brought to power thanks to "Pizzagate" now may risk same treatment, yet in his case - it'd be 100% deserved.

Makes me glad they're too terminally online to stalk people in real life for writing mean things about Stalin. Because they seem like they'd be up to it

Props for them for keeping decorum, because if I had a job of naming street where Russian embassy is - it'd be "Stinking Vatnik street" or "Snohachestvo street".

Wastes more Earth's natural resources than any other country, contributes the most to global warming, uses massive government subsidies to its corporations to undercut concurrent players in market, still has billionaires, fosters raging consumerism in the world.

But most of these things are okay for .ml folks, because "West does something similar too".
