Ah yes, because any scenario where the rest of the EU going to war wouldn't also basically mean automatically that the UK was also going to war already!

with that .ml tag you'd think someone would be better at remembering NATO is still a thing and the only non overlap between the two are countries that are defacto protected by it anyways.

Another means I've heard of is limiting apartment/home rentals to a 1 month minimum

Maintains a minimal open door for people who actually wanna get emersed while also redirecting all but the most lucrative properties back into local residential living.

Normally I'm tepid on this kinda headline getting, but I feel like Stonehenge of all things is not the ideal target for the supposed intent of these kinds of protests.

PhlubbaDubba , vor 17 Tagen

Because it was built by Naturepath druids.

They vandalized a structure that represents the purest distillment europeans may have achieved of their ideal vision thus far in human history.

That'd be like me demanding bike infrastructure by bombing Amsterdam.

It was the Bronze and Iron age, even the people who swore they didn't do human sacrifice had sneaky backdoor rituals that played out human sacrifice, cough cough Romans cough cough

No it really doesn't, getting called stupid is far below the standard of even the minimal consequences oil and gas companies have faced in those 50 years. Or the public condemnation of such.

These people are the "bUt DeMs SaMe!" of facing the consequences of their own actions. The only way you could genuinely think nothing is being done and that some forever student college kids are getting harsher treatment than the most hated companies in the world is if you're in a position of blinding privilege that obscures the real world movement in the situation.

You're just saying all this because you think anything short of guillotining them is "too little too late", I work in renewables, I literally have a paycheck because of how flat out objectively wrong you are about almost everything you just said.

They want you to despair and to think they're untouchable, don't be the idiot who actually buys what they're selling.

China is planning to circumvent the Bosphorous straight, I'm surprised Turkey doesn't respond to such a suggestion with a stream of umlauted profanities capable of even making an average HBO drama blush!

Brics is basically the "we don't like the west!" club of countries that think they're entitled to being great powers for.... basically just cause.

Brazil is basically just trying to manifest being a fully developed industrial economy, Russia is clinging to the dying scraps of being the second great power, India has all the potential, manpower, and material but is currently hanging itself with a nationalist noose in terms of being able to so business with anyone besides maybe Surinam, China tries to act like they're not bothered by having to do work to achieve international standing but VERY OBVIOUSLY resent that the world hasn't just reverted to the pre-age-of-colonialism status quo of China being the top of the world in terms of trade, and South Africa has apparently collapsed five times since 2020 alone with how many headlines you hear about it.

Do we have a running total on how much the Russians have dumped into this vs how much has been used to keep the Ukrainians in the fight?

They gonna vote for rancid ass people and then blame it on us for looking down at them for voting for rancid ass people.

This is why I can't stand le intellectual rural vote understanders,

They have no reasons, they have no causes, they have no explanations or histories, what they have is a blind hatred of anything outside their own horizon, and a ballot they'll cast for whatever rancid ass person makes them feel the most like they'll get to express that without being rightfully called out as a bigot.

We've tried to reach them on class consciousness, and they asked "but can we still say the N-Word?"

Because the reasons are the last thing you should report on in a terrorist attack?

Getting their word out is literally the entire reason they did a terrorism, publicizing that info is literally assisting the terrorists.

As far as responsible reporting should be concerned, all terrorists are of the same cloth, scum, and they can all die mad together about all being seen as the same.

They're trying to avoid the conclusion that the answer is a supply chain that doesn't involve unaccountable uncheckable firms all the way through, because that will mean a supply chain that primarily works through countries that have actual labor protections, and capitalist owners hate nothing more than labor protections.

From someone who has been having out this fight across the pond,

For the love of god country and cadbury, drag every last man woman and anyone else you can to the polls to vote for the most viable non Tory candidate, even if you have to do it by their hair. The militant non voters will be upon you to rally for the tories under your noses soon, and if you fail to take them seriously when you have this chance to obliterate the tories you'll truly have your own Trump as consequence.

Has Ukraine been making a lot of progress on the benchmarks the EU normally requires?

I think a Unified Europe is the current great project of the democratic world.

If it can happen, a new superpower of democracy will appear overnight, if it is stopped, the current chasers of multipolarity, the Russias and Chinas, will keep the initiative

Russian leaders will answer that Tsar Alexander reached Paris when asked how far is far enough for them.

Putin's the idiot that's gonna see a French man sit and watch in Paris as the soldiers reach Moscow.

Are there any acts that would be likely to make a public stand like that?

PhlubbaDubba , vor 2 Monaten

Yes others have them, the difference is that Russia's are going to be pointed at you if they get used.

PhlubbaDubba , vor 2 Monaten

Hamas doesn't have Nukes, that's why.

Enforcing a no fly zone is an act of war against anyone you shoot down over it, and direct war with Russia is a terrible idea.

The only scenario where it doesn't end in nuclear fire is one where the US somehow has discovered every single hidden missile silo and has an unbeatable decapitation strike planned to destroy Russia's nuclear capabilities before they can be deployed.

That would require a degree of aerial supremacy unheard of in world history.

PhlubbaDubba , vor 2 Monaten

Presumably the decapitation strike would include the subs but yes, there's a bunch that would have to be taken out of commission all at once

It'd go down in history as the battle of seconds, because that's how quickly you'd have to complete the operation after starting to avoid the effects of the enemy realizing what's going on and activating anything you haven't reached yet in retaliation.

There are exactly two kinds of folks in IT, soon to be or fully out anime queer folks and furries, and 60 something industry gurus who all always wear polo shirts and live in an upper middle class house despite apparently being rich as sin, also they are so hard for home security measures their backup security footage server in Montana has its own backup in a bugout bunker in New Zealand.

I was neither so I ended up being a number cruncher for a solar company instead.
