I think we just identified the fatal divergence into Clown World Timeline.
:thinking:
The world would certainly be a better place with the influence of more Swat Kats, but I'm not certain if it would have been enough to turn the tide. Something to think about, though...it really was the last action cartoon in the USA. After SwatKats you didn't see any more military or action shows, not with anything like 'realistic' combat or weapons, no explosions or guns, and certainly not with a serious tone like the show had.

Every show after treated combat as a joke, a laugh, and the conflicts were resolved (unrealistically) through dialogue and empathy - even with brainless monsters.
 
I think Zelensky doesn't like finding out he's pretty disposable even if Fox News is making videos comparing him to Churchill. He really should have done his research when he accepted the job.
I don't think he had any choice in the matter. The person who cast him in the role of President of Ukraine is not someone who is used to hearing the word "no".
 
So I think we won't get much cahntent for another week, maybe two, Russia is still trying to fix their supply problems and they won't do much past shelling until they get their lines unsnarled. But the raputitsa is coming soon and no one will be moving for six to eight weeks when it does

Nobody wants to take your guns

Two weeks to flatten the curve
Fiery but mostly peaceful protests
Most successful airlift ever

"Nobody wants to send you to war!"

Up yours with a burning cactus, Philip Bump. These coy little denials are insulting.
I'm curious if the band, Disturbed, has announced their support for Ukraine given this song from 2018 IIRC I shared on the last megathread.

 
I don't know much about him, but if the allegation he killed Swat Kats is true, that's enough for me. He can burn.
He's a cheating womanizer who was banging Jane Fonda for 20 years, probably is/was schizophrenic, bought land in Montana like Barb buys thrift store garbage, and once was involved in a sailboat race where several people got killed in a storm during the race and he forced race officials not to cancel it because he was winning.

I always thought it was weird that he was a communist sympathizer who loved the Confederacy, but I guess that's what made him a colorful character,
 
That’s a tricky one. I think official languages should be done on a state by state basis, as certain regions of the country do have a centuries-long multilingual history, like the southwestern states where up to have very large native Spanish-speaking populations or Louisiana with French. New Mexico handles it’s official bilingualism pretty well. Of course this isn’t the case in say, New England.
That law was passed for the Eastern states. But Zelenskyy repealed that law, and passed a law making Ukrainian the official language.

Regardless of those other factors, price was that much lower because production was such that there was energy independence, not moralfagging about Russian oil while begging Venezuela, Iran, and the Saudis for their oil.
That's the same fuckwit Senator Murphy who wants to go after people who posted "misinformation" online about Covid in an attempt to cover up everything the government forced on its population.

You know, since Putin announced that sanctions would be tantamount to a declaration of war, must say I'm mighty curious what his response will be.
My guess is he will patiently wait and then effectively strike back on top of reducing or eliminating exports on perhaps a permanent basis.
And then stupid white leftist soccer moms will blame Trump for everything.
 
Allow me to be the first to say it is all so tiresome.

Last week the British foreign secretary Liz Truss said that she 'absolutely supports' British citizens who want to go to Ukraine and fight Russia. Link here.

Today the British transport secretary Grants Shapps says it is illegal for Brits to go and join the war. 'You can't just get up and go.' Link here.

There are a whole load of (retarded) British volunteers in the Ukraine right now and they can justifiably (and retardedly) point at Liz Truss' statements to say that they went under false (and retarded) pretences. They can say that they were at best misled about their government's opinion of them and their actions and at worst entrapped by a British cabinet member's comments. How many of them could legitimately say that they would never have gone if they had felt that the government didn't support their actions? I know they're retarded but that's hardly a crime. I'd have been threadbanned long ago if that was the case.

Truss needs to be tarred, feathered and used to clear minefields.

Allow me to be the second to say it is all so tiresome.

Im not saying it was the thing that changed history but the point at which history started to diverge, dont look at it as wave but rather small stream from which further streams diverge into rivers and then oceans.

If you are willing to fight for something Globohomo suffer then by association you are part of it, and while i certainly dont have glee over this, im not going to cry any tears over them getting jewed.

I don't know how many times everyone has to tell this guy no. I mean, I understand where he’s coming from. But it’s an illogical and dangerous situation. The risks outweigh the benefits. If you aren’t getting jets, you aren’t getting a NFZ. (unless they bend and fuck up everything)
I think this is a negotiation tactic, keep asking for something high, and accept for something lower since the first one is going to be unacceptable for the other party
It could lead to actual WW3. Not even exaggerating.

If it degraded into a dirty bomb Europe would have to act. They would have to demand it get fixed immediately, and if not, would have to come over and fix the shit themselves. That's why it is scary.
This is what I'm thinking again. Nobody in Europe want another Chernobyl happened again. Something at this order of magnitude would forced the European to actually act, no matter what. That said, I wonder now if countries like China would still be willing to help Russia if nuclear is involved
Right now I think the major question is what's going to happen once Kiev falls. Because I doubt Zelensky is going to capitulate and he'll just move the capital to some city in the west.
I'm thinking he won't capitulate as well. So long as he remains a rallying point, and the West keeps their supply train and economic pressure one, he won't capitulate
So I think we won't get much cahntent for another week, maybe two, Russia is still trying to fix their supply problems and they won't do much past shelling until they get their lines unsnarled. But the raputitsa is coming soon and no one will be moving for six to eight weeks when it does
Good God, if this war turned into a stalemate, its going to get ugly, no doubt. Also, apparently Russia's Defense Ministry has admitted that "some" conscripts were sent to Ukraine. This came after Putin made a televised remark that "none of the Russian soldiers in Ukraine are conscript, all of them are contract soldiers, and will always be"
 
I don't buy the ww3 hype. Western countries are too cucked to risk hundreds of deaths, nevermind tens of thousands that will occur from a huge scale military action.

Russia is already struggling against a small country, they wouldn't deplete everything else on fighting the entire world. Ditto China has only to lose from getting involved with any side.

Nukes are out of the question, the west has no reason to be as desperate and Russia will commit suicide doing it (when the entire point is conquering a small-ish area).

The most that will happen is the west sending tiny amount of troops to bumfuck nowhere and laud it as a "tactical victory".
 
Taking the side of nazis in your pocket for profits is just such a jew thing to do lol.

So of course, it is after all (((their money))) that needs the ukraine for laundering.
Also what better way to perpetuate the eternal 90 degree boogie man then dressing up as him and scaring your neighbors.
 
Zelensky is pretty much demanding that NATO step in and effectively make this the start of WWIII proper, because he has to know that Russia's been violating airspaces with NATO members for years. Every single time some Russian plane shows up to pester NATO like that one time a jet flew mere feet from a US ship, it makes the news.

Right now I think the major question is what's going to happen once Kiev falls. Because I doubt Zelensky is going to capitulate and he'll just move the capital to some city in the west.


Agreed, Swat Kats not only fucking kicks ass, it still holds up remarkably well, too. I'm honestly surprised nobody's even thought about trying to get a revival for it going since nobody wants new ideas for toyetic kids cartoons anymore.

Thays the real question. It seems like in the next several weeks Russia will finish rolling up everything east of the Dneiper. Are they gonna finish the job and roll up the west side as well?
