Poland was only when the Nazis invaded. Honestly, being under Soviet occupation would be soooo much more preferable than Nazi occupation.

Also I wouldn’t really call the conflict in Georgia invading Europe lol.

So basically you’ve got Ukraine and an example from the 40s. Which was also related to the coming war with the Nazis. That’s not a giant pattern.

“We fought for state’s rights!”

“State’s rights to do what?”

“……”

A bad history of invading Europe? When? World War 2?

Japan’s single party state is democratic and freedom-pilled!

But yeah lol. The US throwing stones about democracy is hilariously hypocritical.

The spin on that guy’s statement lol

This is you defending Israel though.

Oh my god it’s Rahm Emanuel.

I think they’re counting on a large amount of them not caring once the symbols are out of sight, and after they smooth over the initial outrage with a bit of PR.

Better than the direction of the United States lol

Something that’s important to note though, is that the Cat example isn’t a great way to envision this phenomenon in general. Schrodinger’s Cat was actually made as an argument against this interpretation, by blowing the behavior up to a macro scale, where it seemed absurd. While you can draw analogues and all that, I’d recommend against really thinking that macro scale objects are in a multitude of obviously different states at once, all the time. It’s a path to some of the really kooky fake-science “quantum” stuff that get’s repeated.

Like, you’re never going to see a physicist argue that a person is both alive and dead in another room, because of the technical chance that they tunneled halfway through the wall.

Hopefully the United States doesn’t continue to escalate tensions in regards to the island.

Texans crave liberation! AMLO! We call for freedom!

Mexico should just destroy them. It’s their river too.

Well, AI is still going to be a buzzword for capitalists to throw around, as it does actually have uses and big profit usages in certain fields. Just, like, it’s certain fields. Then the grifters will continue to try to extrapolate that success to increasingly far removed use cases, with increasingly stupid promises.

The CIA would never lie to me, and I’m offended that you’d imply otherwise.

I don’t think this should really be controversial. Whatever your thought on US aid is, or the war in general, it’s incredibly obvious that the counteroffensive was a complete failure. Ukraine gained basically nothing, lost massive amounts of materiel, and countless soldiers were killed. Russia’s defensive lines were not breached.

What am I supposed to be defending here? I’m honestly confused.

A bit fascist to assume that the only way to contribute to society is military service.

If both sources are saying the same thing, maybe you should take away that not all news from a Russian source is automatically bullshit, and not that the Economist is a pro-Putin propaganda outlet.
