Time those little good fer nuthin’ scallywags helped out poor old granny… now send me cheap weeb stuff and beer, things are gonna get weird 🇬🇧 🇦🇺 🇯🇵

Putin’s rise to power and corruption should be a lesson to us all. We need to elect Zelenskys and ignore idiots with hardline policies on crap like immigration.

If we don’t maintain an honest and open government and functional justice system, then there is no justice at all.

A lot of the rich in the world are corrupt, I hope now we’ll be paying a lot more attention to the rich and their transactions. Maybe next time, we’ll notice things like cheques going from imperialist warlord to president 🇷🇺 🇺🇸 …

“Let them eat turnips.”

Ugh, our UK version sucks. We’ve been outdone by the French…

No they aren’t, medicine manufacturers typically don’t choose who the end user is, they just manufacture and sell to distribution companies.

And most other countries aren’t selling the Russians medicine, as evidenced by Russia experiencing medicine shortages.

You’re not great at making convincing arguments. Anyway I’m done here, there’s nothing left to be said.

No one is crying here, except you. No one is outraged here, except you.

People just aren’t happy that the Swiss are profiting from trade with Russia. Calm yourself.

Dude, however you try to deflect and ‘whatabout’ this, it doesn’t change the fact that the Swiss have decided to do business with a terrorist regime.

If it was a charitable donation for no profit, then it would be different. It would still be frowned upon, but it wouldn’t be as reprehensible.

Russia is engaged in a war of aggression, the Russian people will pay the price for that as long as they remain in Ukraine. You forgot about that.

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. (Regarding selling medicines)

This is only about profit and appeasement.

Because they’re doing business with a terrorist regime. Simple as that.

The first vaccine (with proven effectiveness) was created by the United Kingdom. Closely followed by Germany.

I didn’t even mention NATO, but thanks for the info. I won’t check if it’s legit or not though, because by that logic you could argue that the US ‘created’ Osama Bin Laden… which gets said a lot, but is actually an absurdity, considering you can’t possibly predict the free will of quite literally anyone.

To me it kinda sounds like you’ve just got an agenda against NATO. Which is fine, you-do-you bro.

But NATO requires cooperation between all member states, so I find it unlikely that blame could be placed solely on what is effectively just a defensive alliance, and not some kind of shady world-govt…

I think what they actually implemented was a ‘close your eyes, cover your ears, and hope for the best’ policy. Yeah Russia and China just decided they want the world to hate them this year, apparently. So they’re both acting-out and lying to the point where they think they can just create their own reality.

Russia is quickly rediscovering reality again in the form of Ukrainian defiance, and China; from a pandemic that every other country on the planet has managed to get under control, except them.

I truly hope that this will be the century that kills authoritarianism for good.

Can some kind soul fill me in? I’m at work and can’t spend time googling if this is interesting or not.

(I like to stay up to date, but I usually ignore Turkish news because their president indulges Putin too often. Can’t help but see Erdogan and Orban as traitors to the free world—can’t play both sides in this war lads, Russia are the new Nazis)

Also, the UK Tories are suspected by pretty much everyone to be Russian collaborators (pre-war) who just tried to cover it up after the invasion. Perhaps if we all write sternly-worded letters…

Tbh I think it’s the Chinese leadership just throwing a hissy fit because they didn’t get their way with ‘Zero Covid’ policies, primarily because they almost faced the first ever Chinese revolution, but also because they hate their own citizenry who they look down on like insects.

“You told us to stop our Zero Covid policy, so enjoy the over-packed hospitals, we’re not helping any more” -all Chinese politicians overlords

My deaf sister asked me “d’ya wannu her juck?”

I said: what?

She said: whud?

(I’m partially deaf and also slur my speech, before the joke police roll up and accuse me of ableism)

I’m with ya man. We need the treasonous Tories out of power.

But hey, at least road infrastructure, insulation, and a poorly funded (but free) healthcare system are pretty much all we have to worry about.

We have it pretty good, all things considered. Especially considering what Ukraine has to contend with this winter.

Ikr? It snows for a few days and everyone suddenly drives around like drunk toddlers in go-karts.

Cringe.

We’re talking about the poorest minority of people here. In America, these people would be homeless, at least here they have homes—heated or not. And it’s not like we’re in Siberia here, UK (and most of Europe) have mild winters.
