Funny use of the phrase "terrorist attack" for possibly attacks made by a country you are actively at war with. I guess when the USSR marched into Berlin in '45 that was a terrorist attack. When the brits and US landed on normandy in '44 that was a terrorist attack.

Even if Ukraine did, so what? Mariupol would like a word. It is kind of a side effect when you go to war with another country. If you reduce their cities to rubble, you should expect that there is a good chance one of your cities may be reduced to rubble.

Yea. Him wanting to ban abortion sucks. But at least he follows it up with, "it is our responsibility to take alternatives to abortion seriously for unwanted kids."

I’m a software engineer not in crypto and just got a pretty nice raise. We are looking to expand our team by 33%. It’s not some big major tech company, but tech isn’t doing that bad. It’s the big players eliminating overhead and crypto. Tons of smaller firms still hiring!

Yea, large famines were the norm and happened often. Eastern Europe and Russia were some of the last to industrialized. I believe Marx himself even called Russia a backwater and the last place communism could happen in because they were so far behind in industrializing. And Russia didn’t get properly industrialized until it had to out of war time necessity from World War 2.

As for personal involvement in daily lives. The czar was, you can say the USSR learned a lot of tricks from the Czar when it came to the Cheka and the KGB. Lenin being an example was jailed and sent to Siberia for a time due to his political writing and the Imperial police very much had spies walking amongst the people. So in a way, the Chela and KGB for the Soviet Union was not out of the ordinary, it was business as usual since a lot of these type of government activities predate the USSR.

Unfortunately, people seem to think Russian history only started in 1917 when in reality it’s been a shit show for hundred of years prior.

Nah, they should donate them to the drafted Russians very publicly with a statement like, “because Russia won’t give their new recruits arms before going to the grinder.”

As an atheist engineer with no student loan debt, I think I would vote for all of that because the well being of those around me is in my personal interest.

I guess you could say, I try to love my neighbor like I love myself.

Hate these types. They say “let’s go brandon” like they so bad. Nipsey, RIP, had the balls to make a track and literally say “Fuck Donald Trump.”

Easy, until there are actual consequences, they probably just wrote the whole situation off mentally as working a shitty Sunday shift where the donut shop was closed.
