So are the “elite” brigades just the ones that aren’t comprised entirely of prisoners at this point?

A really good example of this is when humans decide in Adrian Tchaikovsky’s “Children of Time”

Way to stick it to that drone!

I mean, to be fair, you were kind of talking shit about their boss. It’s a hard living, being a Tankie. You’ve got to wake up every day, look yourself in the mirror, and decide to continue whoring yourself out to authoritarian regimes by posting a picture of a pig pooping on its own balls on the internet and telling left wingers that they’re fascist because they aren’t supporting Russia’s imperialist war.

TURN AND BURN, DOGMEAT!

Even setting aside the whole conjoined twin thing, Fatty Two Heads is sporting some interesting fashion choices. I love his weird little pseudo pope hat… thing… and also really like how he got a set of custom shades for his deformed face to cover two eyes at different heights.

No, Afghanistan is incredibly mountainous:

I mean, he’s absolutely right about the terrain. There are major logistical differences between Ukraine and Afghanistan. The Ukrainians are holding land that is so much harder to defend because a significant amount of it is flat farmland. The reason they’ve been able to hold on as long as they have is mostly because of western arms and training, which is why it’s so absolutely vital that western countries throw every dollar / euro they can spare Ukraine’s way to keep them stocked to the hilt with mines, drones, tanks, rockets, and artillery rounds. Building up their air force will also help a tremendous amount.

The truth that Tankies absolutely hate is that Ukraine’s been a severe underdog this entire fight, and they’re still in it, still putting hundreds of Russians in the dirt every single day even 2 years after the start of this “3 day war”. They are tired, they are bloody, but they aren’t beaten. This is not a war that will be won quickly, but it can be won, and it is in every NATO country’s best interest to do everything in their power to help Ukraine win.

They may not be Afghanistan, but Ukraine can still absolutely be the graveyard of empire. We just all have to chip in.

Problem: the more people know about me, the more they despise me.

Solution: get angry at the media for telling people stuff about me.

Yeah. That checks out.

Oh, it 100% is. If being a total fuck knuckle didn’t consistently get them like ~50% of the national vote, Republicans would pivot. But they’ve realized that the worse they are, the more votes they can squeeze out of the hateful pieces of shit who infect us like a cancer.

Is he the fighter of the Day Mayor?

Despite spending a lifetime living with this reality, it still seems so fucking wild to me that one of the two major political parties in this country is just entirely peopled with assholes. It’s like they have a secret competition amongst themselves to see who is the biggest bag of dicks.

Socially awkward slaving, raping immigrants.

I think it’s just that most of the competent heavy vehicle drivers have already died due to drones or artillery fire. You can’t just throw some random Conscriptovich into the driver’s seat of an infantry fighting vehicle or tank and expect them to be able to effectively navigate obstacles.

Huh. I wonder if he was also socially awkward when he was raping Sally Hemings (starting from when she was 14 years old, younger than his daughter Abigail, whom Hemings was sent to care for), or when he convinced her to leave the relative safety of France by telling her that he’d emancipate her children, or when he was like: “lol u thought” and kept them enslaved for the rest of his life. So socially awkward. Such a quirky guy.

In retrospect, we should have noticed sooner. He was constantly asking kids to tickle him, after all.

I’m super disappointed in him. Was a big fan of his when I saw him run, and I really liked some of the things I heard about him, like how he got a tattoo marking the date of death for each of 9 people in his city who were murdered while he was mayor. It really made me think that he felt the heavy burden of responsibility and wanted to make the world a better place.

But this… I mean, this ain’t it. It does get a little complicated because of his stroke. I don’t know how much of the personality he’s currently displaying to the world was endemic in him before the stroke. It could be that this has been who he was the entire time, and he just hid it from the world. Either way, though, I think it’s clear that he represents a lot of unfulfilled hope. Granted, he’s likely still better than Oz, but that’s a pretty damned low bar. Fingers crossed he gets beat in the next election by someone who delivers on the hope that Fetterman originally promised.

I think you’re severely overestimating the average intelligence of the population.

This some real “Let them fight” vibes.

True, the weather was really bad in that area, but he was traveling in a 3-helicopter convoy, and only his helicopter crashed. Now, I’m not saying that it’s impossible, or even improbable that it was an accident, but we can’t really rule out sabotage at this point, especially considering how big of a target he had on his head from both the US and Israel. Personally, I really hope it was an accident. I mean, I shed no tears for that son of a bitch, but the ramifications if this was an assassination are unsettling.
