Geopolitical Catch-all

Thanks, @loppar!

Saw video of trains moving tanks a couple of days back. Makes the threat a bit more credible than merely winning handsome contests.

Happy Easter.

I mean, this is par for the course

ā€œtold U.S. warships to stay well away from Crimea ā€˜for their own good’, calling their deployment in the Black Sea a provocation designed to test Russian nerves.ā€œ

That’s obvious. What else could it be? The war party is back in business.

Eh? The Democrats hold the majority and the White House

Afghanistan. Iraq. Gulf war. All started by a democracy… Ipso facto democrats have started the last 30 years of american wars.

Separately, putin LOVES to flex. In every sense of the word. And his country eats that shit up in patriotic fervor.

Russian propaganda for self-loathing Americans?

Yes?

Maybe. On the other hand, Russia is 6,000 miles closer to the Black Sea than is the U.S.

Interesting read. Now that Biden is in office, it’s going to get so much worse.

Okay…I’ll bite, doog.

Why is Biden being in office going to make things worse?

He won’t come up with any nicknames to show China who’s boss.

Just based on previous history:

I don’t understand homeless policy in cities where their response is to like supply tents or similar and just leave people to live life on the street.

I am happy to be open minded on this and it is probably a cheap solution to the mental health and drug issue a large portion of homeless people deal with but surely there is a responsibility on cities to encourage and enable a base standard of living. And not ask both the homeless and citizens to deal with it.

Is there more to it than that’s the life these people choose to live?
