You could likewise say that it's a ripple effect from russian and Chinese colonialism/imperialism.

Russia started their latest meat wave assault on Awdijiwka just hours after Hamas attacked Israel.

This marked the start of the russian winter offense. Putin was able to distract the media attention for a few weeks but he wasn't able to actually take Awdijiwka.

Iran had massive public banners unrolled just hours after the Hamas attacks. They are all in it.

As long as putin is a free man, governments like North Korea and Venezuela are encouraged to use their military or at least try to blackmail their neighbours.

Do you want to be heard or do you want to be understood?

Shouting ACAB might give you attention but it won't help in changing anyone's mind. The opposite is true.

And when we act, we make other people sad.

Can't find the tweet rn. There were analysis on impact angle, type of explosion and distance from impact side to frontline.

Only way Ukraine would be the origin is if they used himars or drones. But those explosions look completely different.

Another tweet said that Ukraine claimed responsibility for attacking military targets in that area. The russian air defence however has trouble With shooting down those small targets with sensors that were designed to fly towards jet planes or ballistic missiles.

"On September 16, 1940, the United States instituted the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, which required all men between the ages of 21 and 45 to register for the draft."

When rich kids fight next to poor kids you will have politicians think twice before they start a war.

It was russian air defence that hit their own city. At least that's what I heard and that's also what it looks like.

It's very unlikely that Ukraine suddenly starts targeting civilians.

We dehumanize them to make the necessary act of killing them easier for us.

It's not about degrading them or anything. It's about staying sane. If you would treat every dead Russian soldier as an individual who had dreams at one point, your sanitary would be the next victim of this war.

When you defend your country you can't have that, so you kill orks instead of humans. When the war is over, there will be a lot of work for therapists I guess.

I think that sometimes huge props are used in movies or commercials. Maybe this was once used in a Malboro ad...
