When you deprive humans from sex -like in prison-, they seek gratification via what is available in front of them: in that case same gender.

Once they're out, and back to the normal natural routine, it's fixed.

Islamist countries don't have prisons?

Who is going to decide what's "wasting", YOU? 😂

If government is unethical, refusal to fund it is ethical
Taxpayers that believe they aren't adequately represented will make such decision. That's how the US was founded after all.

There's a difference betwen principled tax resistance and tax evasion. One is making a statment and accepting the consequences, the other is lying about how much you owe in taxes.

Religion poisons everything. What religion do you observe that you think killing fellow humans is okay?

Lack of religion caused deaths of 100 million people. Every year American women kill 800,000 unborn babies. Why do you think this genocide is okay?

They do.
But their culture itself is prison-like.

From the second army in the world to begging Pyongyang for their old 1950s-era artillery shells.

It’s all going according to plan

Quote:Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov thanks North Korea for its support for Russia’s war on Ukraine, days after the U.S. said the North had transferred munitions to Russia to strengthen its warfighting capabilities.

But where are the usual "proxy war" pundits accusing North Korea of a proxy war against the West?

The trouble is that they don't go boom where they're supposed to. They go boom in the barrel. They go boom in the cp. They go boom in transit. They go boom a quarter mile away from the target. The only place they can't seem to go boom is on ukr guns. Russian sources have described this change in fortune as an artillery genocide.

They tend to boom the people they aren't suppose to boom

So it's a Russian shot in the foot.
Honestly, I would have thought those guys to be a bit smarter than that.

They probably are - but I'm smart too..and I still dig holes with a shovel. Sure...sure...I'd like to dig holes with my mini x - but I gave the keys up over a decade ago. Russia is in a similar situation. They may have inherited the surplus of the soviet empire but they had to make hard choices about what they're were going to continue to feed. They opted for large quantities of subpar gear and gutted their modernized projects. That's how they paid the bills - and - ultimately, that's what we're seeing in ukraine. The limits of their funding strategy going back to the 90's with respect to their territorial ambitions.

A bmp3m would likely be an issue for bradleys - but it doesn't matter, because they don't have enough of them. They have bmp1s, which are coffins. They can be as smart as they want riding around in coffins. Just as they can be as smart as they want trying to fire defective firecrackers labeled as artillery shells. The outcome in either case is thoroughly predictable. Case in point. OSINT has been working through the past weeks new data and they've visually confirmed that it's as bad as Ukraine said it was. The best scenario right now for russia is that all of those vehicles only had drivers in them...which is it's own kind of horrific news, if so. It's yet another vulhedar.

We can wonder whether russia is so stupid they don't know any better by now, or we can consider that they do, but can't do anything about it. They're in the kind of situation where you have to beg NK for ammo.
