      Literally loled, didn’t think a real headline could be so absurd.

      Apparently, Daily Star doesn’t trust its readership enough to reach these conclusions on their own, otherwise they wouldn’t need to remind anybody that nuclear weapons are big and scary. Well, if your readership consists of toffs who already bought theirselves dozens of gold‐plated fallout shelters years ago, then yeah, I guess that they do need that reminder.

    I almost wish.

    Standard western piece about Putin (and not only Putin): health problems, “read more” link with something morbid, making out the man who is probably the most sincere lib on the planet (which pisses many libs off to no end) to be some sort of rabid militarist and a lie of omission about the “Russian despot” cancelling his press-conference. He did cancel it, but there was one two days ago after the State Council meeting and it was basically the usual “results of the year” thing.

      the most sincere lib

      Sincerity is anathema to liberalism, they hate him as heretic.

      Out of curiosity, why is your PFP IIRC a nazi caricature of an Asian? Might not be, but it pops up a lot in Nazi memes

        Pretty sure it was a nazi caricature of Soviet soldiers raping a woman. I used it for a joke and then was too lazy to change it. Guess it’s about time.

            Gee, took me some time to find it unphotoshopped for some reason. Also, I forgot some fucked up details, apparently…

    “Refuses” is sort of tied to the idea of disobedience. You refuse to obey. You decline a request to a decision you freely make without obligations. Why should Russia leave Ukraine? The language subordinates Russia to a position of a petulant servant. The Atlantic Bloc has done everything it can to subordinate Russia to no end. Why should Russia obey when it has proven itself indomitable? We should learn to speak in a manner that reflects material conditions rather than this arrogant delusion.

    Daily reminder that calling it “Satan” is by itself fearmongering. It’s called R-36, sometimes also Voevoda - “war leader”.

    Not that nuclear weapons aren’t frightening, but this is a clear attempt at framing the narrative. Why is “Minutemen” supposed to be less evil that “war chief”?

      It has sexual context that deeply resonate with muricans chemistry-poisoned organisms.
