Mate, next to both America and Russia, Iran are fucking angels

Please stop. Iran’s government is an authoritarian theocracy with, among other things, a very recent history of massacring and persecuting their own people for protesting said government. They’re absolutely horrible and remain so despite fighting other states with horrible governments.

It’s definitely because many non-disgustingly-rich EU citizens are clamoring for it.

It’s good he’s ok, and I wish the drone pilot’s entire unit a quick and painful death.

Russian authorities denied that the property, which at the time of construction boasted an “aquatic disco,” hookah lounge, casino, pole-dancing room, and a room for miniature railroads, belonged to Putin.

Former KGB colonel turned dictator and international menace chooses to decorate his secret hideout like a Bond villain. Yeah, that’s about right.

In 2024, Russian opposition website “Proekt” claimed that the palace had been refurbished to reflect the Russian president’s newfound fixation with religion, writing: “The renovated version does not feature a casino, a striptease hall, or an arcade room. Instead, it has a chapel housing an icon of Saint Vladimir, Putin’s patron saint.”

And then he got real, real weird.

I should say that I’m just picking on tankies and don’t think it’s remotely fair characterization of the vast majority of leftists.

Who would have guessed that “scratch a liberal, find a fascist,” is more of an admission than an accusation?

In an effort to stabilize domestic supplies, Russia recently imported around 30,000 metric tons of AI-92 gasoline by sea from Morocco, Reuters reported on July 31, citing industry sources. According to the report, the shipment was delivered aboard a Panama-flagged tanker that loaded fuel at the Moroccan port of Tangier in mid-July before arriving at the Arctic port of Murmansk.

All the way to Murmansk? Obviously Novorossiysk is out, but even the Baltic ports aren’t safe? That’s unfortunate.

That probably wasn’t even coherent in your own language.

No, my comment was just a simple and correct factual observation. You just missed the joke.

And part of a university in Belgorod that was developing drone systems. Can’t wait for the “war crimes” concern trolling.

You know you seriously compared industrial scale genocide of civilians with attacking a warehouse during a hot war, right? You said something incredibly stupid and you should just stop.

Marx was a terrible historian with a poor understanding of actual humans and economics, and the fundamental flaws in his work are the primary reason why ML states fail so often.

And warehouse attacks aren’t war crimes, though, so the point is moot.

Some war crimes are worse than others, yes, but they’re still all war crimes.

Maybe but the warehouse attacks aren’t war crimes, so the point is moot.

People ask themselves how the holocaust happened and at the same time they are ok justifying any sort of atrocities against their enemies

If the Nazis had started the Holocaust because one of the countries they attacked bombed some German warehouses, maybe you’d have a stronger point. Instead, you come across as a dishonest fool.

They also raised tax rates last year, which I think doubled their personal income tax receipts for 2025, and they’ve been auctioning off gold and uncut diamonds. It’s like junkies scrounging for change.

It’s a weapons system Israel developed to deal with a real threat they experience, so prioritizing their own safety wouldn’t be a surprising choice. And if that were why they did it, it would be unfortunate but fair because defending yourself before helping others is a rational choice.

However, the real reason is because Bibi has been unwilling to do anything to upset the relationship with Russia for a long time, and the Ukrainians aren’t under any illusions about what their own relationship with Israel is actually like. That’s why thats tied buying the systems through the US.

If it were a Russian apartment building, I’d suspect Putin - that more his style, especially with the elections coming up.

It’s just an excuse, obviously. The real reason is because Bibi doesn’t want to do anything to upset Putin, and it’s been that way for years - they’ve always refused requests for military aid, they’ve never condemned the Russian invasion themselves or as part of the UN, they happily buy grain stolen from Ukraine.

This was as predictable as Trump backtracking on patriot interceptor licensing, maybe more so because Bibi is merely an evil piece of shit but Trump’s also demented.

I can understand saying they’re not liable for losses due to force majeure, but I’m surprised she directly said people should wait for the Russian government to do something. Maybe there’s something in the works or I’m reading too much into it, but that seems a bit like actually placing the blame where it belongs.
