Russia and Ukraine

[The Architect Of Fate]

Well, the news keeps coming. It's hard to stop.

After kissing Saudi Arabia's ass for decades, the US gets stabbed in the back.

A coalition of oil-producing nations led by Russia and Saudi Arabia announced Wednesday it will slash oil production by 2 million barrels per day, in a rebuke to President Biden that could push up gas prices worldwide, worsen the risk of a global recession and bolster Russia in its war in Ukraine.

Neither Saudi Arabia nor Israel have agreed to sanction Russia. The US is losing its ability to control these things, even with long-time allies.

Have to be careful once the rat is in the corner.

Also the people of Haiti are rioting to get rid of their authoritarian, US-backed government, but the US hasn't responded

Saudi Arabia already did something like this during The Shale Revolution. So this is hardly a betrayal. It's business as usual.

You really should stop. You are terrible at this......

Here’s a hypothetical for you since you live in Japan and said this:

Russia says it's open to negotiations, but the US prefers to continue the war. 

Russia lands 20 000 troops on Kyushu, then stages a fake referendum. They claim that since 99% of the respondents prefer Russia over Japan, they’re just going to go ahead and annex the island.

Would YOU be open to negotiations?

@Belacqua's shitstorm of far-right links highlights her bias better than any response could do. The only thing she's doing is showing herself to be either 1) obscenely ignorant or 2) a shill for Russian propaganda.

In either event, I'm glad those like @Helios and others are taking the time to wade through her bullshit and debunk it.

If she truly is an expatriate, great. I don't want such low-information people voting in American elections ... we've got more than enough of those already.

Not only an expat but playing the roll of jilted.  Makes for good comedy to think of as a performance.

I agree the lunatic links are informative towards a mindset.  "Oh, just scrolling through my feed. . . Look! another article about how the US is filing on me I mean evil!"

Seen from a macro view, here is what the war is about:

Bel said (s)he quit. We might as well do the same. It's all BS at this point.

[Ranjr]

I'm too woke to quit without pronoun clarification.

I'm too woke to quit without pronoun clarification.

'they/them' is the best I can do.

More down to the local level, for people who think the war is about taking little bits of territory:
