It doesn't need to be a planned action. Something big happened and everyone seizes the opportunity to quietly sweep their fuck ups under the rug. Covid shit needs dropped more than ever as the fossil fuel crisis is going to cripple world economies so you can't really afford to keep it in place
Going full boar into tin foil hat territory, the thought crossed my mind that this is how TPTB get us fully into 1984 territory with always being at war with Euroasia or EastAsia and us not having any communication or information from those areas that aren't goverment approved. Ultimately this is the start of a segmented and fractured internet in the West.
There we go, there's the correct answer. The level of Putin simping I've seen on display in this thread is frankly indistinguishable from Reddit shit in the willingness to sign on with anything as soon as the buzzword buttons get pushed.
They do, though it's a little matter of time till everyone will reach the MIR cards that were produced for quite a while now.
Damn. Whenever there's peace and prosperity, there's one warmonger despot who tries to set us 1000 years in the past.
It's almost like I might know what i'm talking about in regards to Russia and the hardy nature of its people. Years of distrust of the west seems to be a theme. I've been around some, and known a few others.
Putin, in my opinion, committing war crimes etc would just be further pushing a downfall. Exactly because of why you said, because people care too much now. The shit will be broadcast around the world, and unless Russia have some brilliant propoganda they ain't gonna be able to justify invading Ukraine to the western world in this day and age... So anything considered 'inhumane' will be used against him by the west.
I've heard it boiled down to the mediterranean at the time being almost entirely reliant on international trade (Tin to make bronze only came from Britain at the time, that's a long walk from the med), and attacks on the trade routes leading to cascading system failures in the affected countries. Bandits attack trade, no trade makes famine, hungry citizens turn to banditry, attack neighboring countries' trade, spreading the collapse. A nice feedback loop.
where? at best you gonna find "he probably has reasons" unless your standpoint is LOLPOOTINDUMB. there's more pro-ukraine shilling than pro-putin here. and just because people call zelensky dumb and expect the ukrain to lose doesn't mean they're suddenly pro-putin.
Nah if you like them call them names and subtly insult them. Being openly kind is strange and foreign for Slavs. You'll frighten them.
And that's fine. But now think of ALL the things they are without now, then think about all the people that might be pissed about that until they find a solution to each.
If we were simping for Putin we would be going Slay queeeennn. and making up shit about the grim reaper of magadan. i think most of the posters here are on Ukraine's side. but they find the sheer weight of the western propaganda machine being put behind Ukraine suspicious, we have gone from #truckernazis and #bashthefash to the media and the elites begging people to join far right militias overnight.
WTF? This sooooooo against the Wakanda convention and will not be allowed to stand.
