German politics are truly cursed. My favorite is when the krauts try to claim the moral high ground on human rights because they did the Holocaust so they know about how evil people can get or whatever…
Their brains are in backwards. Having done the Holocaust means we should ignore you for a century, not listen to you more
Marxism is tied to material interests and materialist analysis, it’s the opposite of an ideology. Ideologies concern themselves with ideals
Do you have any evidence of the DPR/LPR using cluster munitions? I haven’t seen anything documented about that, sounds like more Ukro talking points like “Russia assassinated their own heroes” about Givi and Motorola. The Economist just wrote an article admitting it was the Ukrainian intel services
The Economist just wrote an article extolling the virtues of Ukraine’s assassination program that has been active since 2015. They all but admitted to killing Givi and Motorola, which bad faith natoids have always said was Russia betraying the Donbas. Turns out that was more anti-Russia horseshit and it was Ukraine that killed them (like I have been saying the entire time, but even leftists denied it due to their reflexive Russia hate)
Valentin Nalivaychenko, who headed the sbu at the time, says the switch came about when Ukraine’s then leaders decided that a policy of imprisoning collaborators was not enough. Prisons were overflowing, but few were deterred. “We reluctantly came to the conclusion that we needed to eliminate people,” he says. A former officer of the directorate describes it in similar terms. “We needed to bring war to them.” In 2015 and 2016 the directorate was linked to the assassinations of key Russian-backed commanders in the Donbas; Mikhail Tolstykh, aka “Givi”, killed in a rocket attack; Arsen Pavlov, aka “Motorola”, blown up in a lift; Alexander Zakharchenko, blown up in a restaurant (pictured).
They just straight up admit it, they are terrorists and inshallah Russia will destroy the SBU entirely before this is over
She's been fucking Elon Musk and watching Rick & Morty with him for the past few years, if she was going to do a cool fedpost thing she would have done it by now. She's just a reactionary sellout
Anna K is a Red Scare Pod host, she's the more reactionary "brainy" one in contrast to the more absent-minded xanned out Dasha.
South Koreans will never give up America because they are surrounded on all sides by enemies, even though China clearly has no more interest in seriously trying to destroy the comprador state and would just work with them
Honestly, makes him seem way cooler
Shields are a noob trap. Better to get dual-wielder feat on casters to dual wield 2 staves (Hag Staff, Sparkler, Rainmaker and other good staffs are available easily in Act 1 and only get better). You end up with much better net stats and similar AC, as well as more unique magic item slots. Melee should be using 2-hand weapons.
Only person that should use a shield is a ranged striker, which will always have a level in either fighter or ranger so will already have shield proficiency.
They kinda suck but are still better than any mainstream news publication by a mile
Did you read the article? It’s pretty clearly pointing at Ukraine and the most evidence they have against the separatists is “While not conclusive, circumstances indicate that anti-government forces might also have been responsible for the use of cluster munitions, Human Rights Watch said.”
If a western backed CIA group like HRW can’t even muster a condemnation of Russian proxies then it’s a big fat nothing. This is not evidence, this is western NGOs hedging their language so they don’t give their readers an aneurism.
“It makes sense the separatists would use them” isn’t proof. They are counting on the reader’s negative view of Russia to do the work and “both sides” the clearly one sided situation of a government using cluster munitions on their own civilians
