Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

The US/UK NATO have been supporting nazis since WW2.
Operation Aerodynamic specifically for ukraine to cause trouble.
It has always been a strategy and a goal to hurt Russia who they never forgave for beating their fascists.
The horrible Brezinksky doctrine of the US regime followed that line.
" “Even without the Baltic states and Poland, a Russia that retained control over Ukraine could still seek to be the leader of an assertive Eurasian empire.... But without Ukraine and its 52 million fellow Slavs, any attempt by Moscow to rebuild the Eurasian empire was likely to leave Russia entangled alone in protracted conflicts with the nationally and religiously aroused non-Slavs"
From 2014 when they fist tried regime change with the horrible Yuchenko:
The Stratfor news web site, which has close links to the American intelligence apparatus, revived this analysis following the recent struggle for power in Ukraine. In an analysis of recent events, Stratfor concludes that the secession of Ukraine not only weakens Moscow with regard to foreign policy, but also, “without Ukraine, Russia’s political, economic and military survivability are called into question.” The Stratfor report continues: “To say Russia is at a turning point is a gross understatement. Without Ukraine, Russia is doomed to a painful slide into geopolitical obsolescence and ultimately, perhaps even non-existence.”
After that the people voted this puppet out since they knew they had been conned.
After which the US sent billions via NED and other ways to destabilise the country and fund fascists.
This led to the coup.
None of which warrant annexing and invading another country, destroying civilian infrastructure, forced naturalization, etc.
It seems to me that an escalation to war was a desperate move. A weak move at that.
Your description makes it sound like the school bully got it's feelings hurt as everyone started calling them names in the yard. Knowing that it's days of influence are behind them, the next day the bully returned to school with a gun...
Sounds like you deepththroated the propaganda BS.
Ansd all the rest sounds like frustration from a Russophobe that can't get over NATO and the western vasals losing.
Anyway, not worth my time responding to nonsense.
Keep yourself together now.
I have no hand in this game. I just see the basic facts. One of them is the invader. The other is the invaded. Regardless of what else is occurring, nothing has convinced me that the invaders were doing it out of goodness of their hearts. Being on Lemmy I've heard a lot from all sides. I'm not on anyone's side but I can tell you the invaders were the aggressor. You can paint whatever picture you want, but it'll always be one invaded the other.
You're like those hasbara snakes who starts counting from oct 7 you start counting from when Russia finally intervened.
Where were all those people when those nazis burnt 47 people alive bcs they protested the coup in Odessa in 2014?.
And somehow they missed the 8 years of ethnic cleansing and bombing of civilians too.
Typical western hypocrites with their selective indignation.
Bye now
The sad thing is that people think things like that warrants all out war. How many more people need to die in order to prevent people from dieing? It's a fallacy, and I don't believe for a second that this war is based on saving lives.
In case you don't get it, the ukro army bombing 35+ % of their civilians is worse than war.
So save your crocodile tears about "How many more people need to die" hypocrite.
You are a really stubid bot
Why are you trying to deflect onto Ukraine. I'm sure it's atrocities all round, that isn't the point. Russia invaded. Russia are the aggressor. Russia are the invaders. No argument there I imagine. I'm not a hypocrite as you are arguing an entirely different point in an attempt of whataboutism. Perhaps if Russia had not of invaded, all this would have been avoided no? Who knows what bright future we may have had without countries invading other countries like time of old. We will never learn, especially with people like yourself giving justification for their efforts.
You're repeating yourself bot, and deflectin from the guilty one, the US proxy nazis that started the violence. Perhaps if the US han't organised a fascist coup this could've been avoided.
or even if they kept their corrupt nazi state without the ukranians that didn't want to live under their regime without being ethnically cleansed this could've been avoided.
Or if they didn't continously break the Minsk accords this could've been avoided.
Now I'm blocking you, you have nothing of value to say bot, just clihé and distorted propaganda garbage.
Your steadfast defending of the aggressors in this conflict is somewhat commendable, or at least consistent. Hope you eventually find enlightenment.
PS. Not a bot. Just a different opinion.
