-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ .

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Biden is a lame duck president with NO PUBLIC MANDATE and subterranean approval rating, he got ousted by his own party before the election for being mentally incapacitated, his defense against a Justice Department inquiry is he's too old and senile, his party just got BTFO in a national election. No NATO or NATO proxies have ever launched long range missiles into Russia in living memory. How is this guy brump fit for office

STOP EATING CRAYONS AND DO YOUR FUCKING JERB. "Senile old man sends young people to WW3 out of spite"

Who cares.

It's a weapon that Ukraine has, they're at war, it's not a nuke, it ethically doesn't matter whether they made it themselves or received it as a gift*, of course they're going to shoot it at a target in the country that destroyed their infrastructure and turned part of their countryside into a no-man's-land and is occupying places they lived just 3 years ago.

If you wanna get mad at American weapons being used overseas in illegal wars, there are plenty being dropped on defenseless people, out of Israeli aircraft, every single day.

The modern Holocaust the US government is committing in Gaza doesn't have anything to do with whether the Banderite neonazi regime they installed in Ukraine is bad.

Before this war kicked off properly they were regularly shelling and sending Nazi death squads after civilians, why would you not be mad at that? Why would you want them to be able to remotely bomb civilians in Russia?

should've not killed civilians in Donbass

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 2 points 2 hours ago (3 children)

donbas would be a lot better off if russians and russian separatists hadnt been occupying it since 2014.

[–] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 2 points 1 hour ago

Pretty bold to openly call for ethnic cleansing in the Donbass, Adolf

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 4 points 2 hours ago

They would’ve been better off if the Nazi-led Ukraine coup hadn’t happened in 2014.

[–] Aru@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Donbass would've been better if Gorbashev and Yeltsin were hanged

also mf how does a separatist occupy their land? that doesn't make sense

Russia receiving a small taste of what they have been subjecting Ukraine to for 10 years

You have to understand, Joe just really likes genocide and nuclear annihilation is the biggest genocide there is posadist-nuke

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 18 points 13 hours ago

Are they trying to escalate it so much that Trump can't withdraw? Not that Trump would even get to decide one way or the other. Or that he even wants to.

[–] CrawlMarks@hexbear.net 37 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

What would happen if in responce Russia blew up some trucks at an IDF base.

I can't even imagine what any of them are thinking. Many of them lived through the entire Nuclear age. I can only assume they're so high on their own supply they just can't imagine Washington disappearing in a flash of hot light and hard radiation.

[–] xiaohongshu@hexbear.net 53 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

They’re calling Russia’s bluff. That’s what they’re thinking. They’re betting Russia wouldn’t dare to escalate into a nuclear war, and they’d be right (most of the time), because no sane country would want that.

[–] freagle@lemmygrad.ml 38 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Russia won't escalate to nuclear, but it will have to escalate, which is going to ruin the rest of Ukraine all for a chance of getting more intelligence on Russian capabilities.

[–] Zetta@mander.xyz 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

How will Russia escalate further? They are already doing almost everything they can, including deploying troops in Ukraine from other countries like NK, and indiscriminate bombing of civilian centers in Ukraine.

Russia has no capability to escalate the war besides nukes, which they won't use. It's amusing y'all think this is a big deal, it's not and nothing will happen. The US should have approved these strikes the minute we supplied the weapons in the first place.

[–] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 1 points 46 minutes ago* (last edited 46 minutes ago)

Hopefully they'll provide Ansarallah with advanced weapons which will lead to very cool things happening in and around the red sea.

EDIT: or they could just start using non-nuclear weapons on NATO assets themselves

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 22 points 13 hours ago

small price to pay for the US. Not like anyone in Ukraine can complain. Not like any westerner ever sees anything about the consequences. Not like the lackeys "in charge" in Ukraine will say anything about it. The US will just pay off their most loyal puppets and move on to the next country to destroy.

Many of them lived through the entire Nuclear age.

That's just it though, considering that they are the leaders of a giant death cult, many of them probably feel like they got shortchanged when the USSR fell without any nuclear armageddon, not even a little bit. angery This could be Biden's last chance for the Christmas he always really wanted.

[–] Maturin@hexbear.net 15 points 13 hours ago

I've also wondered this. The generation that was promised they would all die in nuclear armageddon so they treated the planet and everyone and everything as if all life was going away anyway not being denied their just deserts.

This also makes the whole Huckabee choice much more foreboding...
