Yeah, Geneva convention. IRC they used white phosphorous on Donbass and now keep their own civilians from evacuating.
I work for a defence contractor and have people going "oh did you hear about the vacuum bomb, Russia committing war crimes" like oh you mean thermobarics, do you want me to point out which building we make those in for our military?
 
lol while WW3 might be off the agenda for now, we're still going to come out of this with basically one economy in the western world, and one economy in the eastern world. There's no way China is going to look at this and not start trying to create its own alternatives to programs like this.
Always ask two forbidden questions:
  1. At whose expense?
  2. Who benefits?
 
Take with mountains of salt:

BTW, if I was a Ukrie General I would get the fuck out of Eastern Ukraine and position my troops west of the Dnieper so that I don't get surrounded by a pinzer, even if I suffer heavy casualties by a fighting retreat.
Yeah, nothing to be gained staying east of the Dnieper now. You can either fall back to strengthen defensive positions there or be overrun in every direction.
 
Do Hollywood movies even do well in Russia? I've never heard them mentioned as China is as being a big overseas market. I'd imagine they don't since a good chunk of the movies made have a Russian as the villain.
They probably don't do that well for the very simple reason that the fine people of Eastern Europe pirate absolutely everything.
 
Russiaboo vatniks don't realize how miserable life in Russia is

Most vatniks are Russians, living in Russia. Just because they can't afford as many subscriptions to Netflix doesn't mean life is automatically horrible, people have normal lives, they have friends, they have hobbies. A slightly more ascetic life with less globohomo may be worth the tradeoffs in terms of wealth.

Who knows. The point is the US isn't the only place it's possible to live an OK life.
 
Yesterday on Fox they broke a story about Russia using a thermobaric bomb that they called the Father of all Bombs in response to the US MOAB that got dropped on ISIS. Except when the Russians do it, it's a war crime and almost certainly killed legions of civillians. They went as far as to make up some bullshit about it being a "vacuum bomb" mmmmmm i want some Freedom Fries
Vacuum bomb is just a weird way of saying Thermobaric. They're trying to narrative engineer shit. Again.

GloboHomo must be pretty fucking spooked that someone did some war without permission.
