Always the same crap.
NATO has expanded. Americans do sponsor regime changes and intervene, sometimes in a really retarded manner.
Most of the time, the expansionism is offering at least some protections and trade agreements. Smaller states CANNOT defend themselves without significant outside help, so obviously they need to bend the knee somewhere.
And most Europeans choose America, for obvious reasons.
Again, play your own cards already and stop seething. Let's see where this goes, it's war, everyone acknowledges it, let's hope cards don't include nuclear chimpout, and let's see who wins.
So why so surprised that there's opposition to NATO fucking around? Also Europeans did not choose America. Their crooked governments did. Europeans were supposed to choose Europe over anything else, but now they sacrificed themselves for America.

Anyway, that's a pointless discussion. Here's some lulz from Russia dunking on Americans and Russian liberals:
 
Protocol I Article 47 of the Geneva Convention -- Mercenaries

French Foreign Legion are not mercenaries.
Gurkha soldiers in the British Army are not mercenaries.
And foreign volunteers in Ukraine are not mercenaries.
They are paid the same as Ukrainian soldiers. They are members of the armed forces of Ukraine. Those two points disqualify them from the legal definition of mercenary.
Nice try at using a colloquial definition which carries no weight, though.
Two thoughts have crossed my mind reading this, one as a hypothetical and one as a result of re-reading the provisions of Protocol I. The first is that hypothetically, an individual who "volunteers" as a foreign member of a nation's military (French Foreign Legion doesn't grant citizenship until you've either been wounded in action or after 7 years iirc, or the case of Green Card holders like you brought up, as examples) and then uses their position as a primary method for potential substantial material gain during that service (Say, royalties for continued interviews, books, or a storefront/channel, not unlike former generals), and continues to do so throughout service of multiple nations/parties, that's technically not considered mercenary activity because it's not directly from the state (even though countries would probably be aware of how it's just a moneymaking scheme at some point)? Secondly, and the one I just thought about when reading it again, if the lack of one of these provisions is grounds for disqualification overall, which it seems to be written as, wouldn't (most of) Wagner Group not considered mercenaries since they're nationals of one of the parties to the conflict, that being the Russian Federation?

I might just be interpreting it in a very strict legalistic manner that isn't actually used, but the Protocol seems to be written in a such a specific manner that it pretty much only really applies to back when all the ex-Belgian gendarmes and security forces from the Congo went off to do their own shit by the 60's and 70's, which is right around the time we started seeing the PMC designation start taking shape. Is there any pre-existing precedent we can look to otherwise?

Oppose all you want, but there will be repercussions. It's irrelevant that a different EU would be likely better, smart people have priorities that they focus on.
The priority is removing invaders from European country named Ukraine, ending the war.
It's not gays, trannies, Pride parades in San Francisco, Drag Kween Story Hour in NY and bleqqqs rioting in LA.
All of that is irrelevant in face of war. A line has been crossed. Within Europe.
We will work towards fixing that.

Whose priority is that? The priorities of European citizens, or the priorities of the Anglo-Saxon warmongers that started this conflict? You seem to be mixing up your own nation's priorities with the whims of the Americans and the British. So far the only thing that the EU worked towards is its own demise, all because they trusted the Anglo-Saxons.
 
I have been to Sevastopol pre referendum, to Krasnodar, Rostov and Volgograd after. If you are too lazy to travel you can literally click on any medium sized russian city on google maps and compare the streetview to medium sized central european ones.
russia is a shithole, where state don't respect citizen, where state treats them like trash for any good reason. Especially when citizens are Dagestanii, Buryats, or any Caucasus nations.

No amount of tourist eye candies will change that.
 
Putin bros, oh no! Apparently the Supreme Leader is weak, and his enemies are about to strike!
1665173231269.png

Let's review who his NATO enemies are, shall we?

Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.
1665173432713.png
A 79-year-young American master statesman, this energetic world leader is still as sharp as a tack just like on day one. Assisted by his trustworthy son and loving wife, they form a formidable team that will guide America to greatness.

Justin "Black Sultan of Canada" Pierre James Trudeau
1665173463543.png
Aged 50, this brilliant young Canadian has asserted himself as NATO's chief spymaster, excelling at the art of disguise, and personally responsible for several intelligence-gathering operations in various ethnic regions.

Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric Macron (the one in the middle)
1665174701917.png
Aged 44, started from humble beginnings as a Rothschild banker, this lover of antiques (including women and farming equipment) is the cultural expert of NATO, personally responsible for establishing several deep and lasting relationships with Central African nations.

Mary Elizabeth Truss
1665174794260.png

Aged 47, this expert strategist has been put at the helm of the tattered remains of the former British Empire due to her successful track record but mostly because her predecessor suddenly quit.

Olaf "Offended Liverwurst" Scholz
1665174988121.png

Aged 64, this genius tactician has been steadily leading Germany's de-industrialization efforts and has been an ardent promoter of forceful yet needed eco-friendly measures, resulting in German industry massively migrating elsewhere.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan

Aged 68, this masterful Turkish politician is going to make NATO regret making Turkey a member.

They respected them enough not to enact a vax mandate . Can't say the same about my central european country.
imagine having to compare things to Moldova to keep on coping
And Moldova is not central european, mate.
im from austria, not moldova, you fucking retard.

By the way, Ukraine is almost twice the size of germany and poorer than moldova.

>Russia is now making propaganda begging their citizens to stop fleeing

I think that's a sign your state is failing.
 
nobody should give a flying fuck that some Westerners went to help.
except for the people that actually live in America, and can barely afford food and utilities anymore because Sleepy Joe is sending billions of dollars to some shithole country while our economy is already in shambles. I don't even support Russia, I'm just fucking sick of my country putting the well-being of warmongers before its own citizens. Anyone who actually believes this is for the "sanctity of Ukraine" and we're in this for moral reasons is unsalvagebly brain dead. We're not the world police and we should stop pretending to be

Ok, so why the fuck did you vote him in? If the election was stolen, why the fuck did you not find the proof, and why was your "uprising" a cringe show of boomerwaffen cuckservatards that took selfies and cosplayed while being just 10 meters away from the people in power?
Who TF cares about morality? We want territorial integrity restored. Obviously no nation is "sacred", since barbarian scum can plow through it with their armies, so you gotta discourage it, with material, worldly means, not prayers.
You are the world police because you allowed the world to come in and wanted wealth, growth and empire.
If you don't like it, CHANGE?

In this employment shortage, anyone in the US having trouble covering basic costs it's most likely because they are part time dog walkers who subscribed to /r/antiwork.

Who cares where you live? You are implying that shithole slums with corroded piping which remembers Khrushchev are on par with eastern Germany. The only place to which you can compare ruskye towns is Moldova, Ukraine, and Transnistria, which speaks for itself.
And who the fuck was mentioning anything about Ukraine, of course it's close to Russia when it comes to poverty and shitty infrastructure and had a fair share of it's own problems since it's inception.
 
Lol so many entry level easy af jobs in the US are facing a labor shortage you can make 15 an hour working as a gas station cashier in large parts of the country. That wage for that position was unthinkable before the coof

Skilled labor the situation isnt much better for finding sufficient workers. Upward pressure on wages is still stronk

Basically the only jobs where pay hasnt jumped bigly are unskilled positions where ultimately the government is paying, like "home health aides"

If you cant find a job sufficient to cover living expenses in the US even now with demand in the labor market starting to cool youre an absolute retard
 
Why exactly should I be afraid of Russian nukes again? Russians were dumb enough to nuke their own territory while trying to boil water. They ain't as smart as people think they are, I mean they were dumb enough to bring pencils into space and they still haven't figured out how rugs work.

If the nukes do fly, well the vatnik retards on here mostly live in the places that will be reduced to ashes so I'll be able to laugh about them being ghoulified while I chill in my bunker. The benefits of living in the middle of bumfuck nowhere.

You mentioned moldova for no reason and don't even know where Austria is. I bet you wouldn't even have found Ukraine on a map prior to supporting the current thing like 90% in this thread.

It's very much a key characteristic of the Ukrainian peasant mentality. There's anti-Galician/Ukrainian propaganda dating back centuries referring to that exact characteristic.
No wonder my family got the hell out of Galicia in the aftermath of WWI. Ukrainians and Poles both had to flee the encroaching nightmare known as Bolshevism that Russia unleashed upon the world.

I'll take our "peasant mentality" over your legacy. 100 million people were murdered by you intellectuals.
One of the first things Russian soldiers noticed when they invaded Ukrainian villages was the existence of working plumbing and toilets.
An interesting story from WWII was when the Russians invaded Poland and Finland, and later advanced into Germany they were shocked by the abundance of consumer goods compared to what the USSR had to offer. Needless to say they took advantage of the opportunity and thoroughly looted the conquered territories.
