@nikicaga They kinda have this with China, where you can play as the Han into Ming into Qing, but it's baffling that they didn't do the same for other cornerstone civs like Rome

Its crazy they did "permanent leaders, changeable civs" instead of the MUCH more logical "permanent civs, changeable leaders"

NASA is the best of America, what America used to be: professional, science-based, dedicated to excellence, idealistic, and dazzlingly ambitious. May America one day recover its NASA soul.

When the whole world learned about Bucha. About Ukrainians butchered in the streets of Bucha by Russian occupiers. About our people tortured in basements. About those shot on the roads. About adults and children whose bodies were found in graves in Bucha. Everyone saw the horror that Russia and its aggression bring. They saw what Ukraine is really defending itself against.
Today, on the fourth anniversary of Bucha’s liberation from Russian occupiers, we honored the memory of Ukrainians who were killed and tortured there. We remember and will never forget what the enemy did. Every Russian murderer, executioner, and terrorist must be held accountable for every crime against our people.
Blessed be the memory of everyone whose lives were taken by Russia – to all who were killed in Bucha and across Ukraine at the hands of Russian occupiers.

Ukranians are an occupied people Hasan refuses to talk to or learn from. He's had 4 years to learn. He still tells a fairytale about an early offramp for the invasion that would have been great for Ukraine, while never mentioning that it would have included Ukraine's disarmament.
yeet@Awk20000
Hasan says his Ukraine/Russia analysis ended up being correct & that the only criticism he receives comes down to him not giving out enough pro Ukraine hopium "Yes my initial prediction that Putin would never Ukraine was wrong..the analysis was still obviously correct..look at the situation now, every single thing that I said, including the initial ceasefire agreement should have been taken..the offramp..should have been taken..these are no longer controversial..now universal position..it was foresight at the time" "That sh*tty peace deal would have been a massive W in comparison to the battle lines currently..they pushed back on some Russian positions, they got a little bit of territory back..Ukraine has lost leverage..every single day..now facing..permanent annexation" "It feels like every single criticism anybody makes of ur Russia takes ultimately comes down to, ur not giving me as much pro Ukraine hopium as I want therefore u must be pro Russia, have u ever seen a more reasonable critique?" - chatter "No I have not, also saying Russia economy is crumbling rn when strikes on Iran..we gave Russia sanctions relief..price of oil barrel goes up..Russia benefits, they don't rely on the Strait of Hormuz"

Canada has hit its 2% NATO defence spending target.
We made a promise to transform our defence — and we’re getting it done.

@ThatchEffendi They allegedly hit an American early warning radar system in Qatar, not sure if that's been independently confirmed yet though.

His helmet bears portraits of our athletes who were killed by Russia. Figure skater Dmytro Sharpar, who was killed in combat near Bakhmut; Yevhen Malyshev, a 19-year-old biathlete killed by the occupiers near Kharkiv; and other Ukrainian athletes whose lives were taken by Russia’s war.
I thank the flag bearer of our national team at the Winter Olympics, Vladyslav Heraskevych, for reminding the world of the price of our struggle.
This truth cannot be inconvenient, inappropriate, or called a “political demonstration at a sporting event.” It is a reminder to the entire world of what modern Russia is.
And this is what reminds everyone of the global role of sport and the historic mission of the Olympic movement itself – it is all about peace and for the sake of life. Ukraine remains faithful to this. Russia proves the opposite.

I race for them / Я змагаюсь за них ❤️🩹 Сьогодні розкажу про шолом, в якому я збираюсь виступати на Олімпійських іграх вже через кілька днів. На шоломі намальовані спортсмени які були вбиті під час війни, а точніше лише маленька їх частина. Це несправедливо, й ці люди не мали б йти від нас в такому ранньому віці. Цим я хочу віддати данину цим людям та їх родинам. Світ має знати ціну Української свободи. —— Today I’m going to tell you about the helmet in which I will compete at the Olympic Games in just a few days. On the helmet are depicted athletes who were killed during the war — or to be more precise, only a small fraction of them. It is unfair, and these people should not have left us at such a young age. With this I want to pay tribute to these individuals and to their families. The world needs to know the true price of Ukrainian freedom.

Rupa reaches a very different audience from me and, based on the responses, an audience that could be better informed on this topic.
This is a topic I know a little about, so I'm going to educate. Some of these may be bots, but they're all confusions I think many Canadians have.

Canada is preparing to buy up to 12 conventionally powered submarines as Carney ramps up defence spending, a move that would rank among the largest military procurements in Canadian history at a price tag of C$20–24 billion. Talk about a strategic shift. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Hate and intimidation will not be accepted in Manitoba.
The antisemitic graffiti at Kelvin High School targeted Jewish students and harmed our whole community.
Antisemitism and hate threaten public safety and go against the values we share. We stand with Jewish students, staff, and families so no one feels targeted or unsafe at school or in their community.
Our government is working with authorities to apply the full force of the law, protect students and staff, and keep all Manitobans safe.

There is no place for hate in Manitoba.
This weekend, Shaarey Zedek Synagogue and Habibiz Cafe were targeted with vandalism, graffiti, and threatening messages rooted in antisemitism and anti-Palestinian racism, meant to intimidate communities.
The antisemitic graffiti at Shaarey Zedek was an attack on the Jewish community and on all Manitobans. The threats made to Habibiz Cafe offend all of us as Manitobans and are against what we stand for as a province. When a place of worship or a local family business is targeted, it puts the safety of our province at risk.
We will continue to work with police services and prosecutors to apply the full force of the law, combat hate crimes, and ensure the safety of Manitobans.

this is the simple answer to people who keep saying NATO expansion matters. Sure, it matters because it presented an obstacle to Russian imperial ambitions. Putin didn't invade because he hated NATO expansion, he hated NATO expansion because he wanted to invade.
Yaroslav Trofimov@yarotrof
The inevitable conclusion from the released Putin-Bush transcripts: Putin didn’t invade Ukraine because he opposed NATO enlargement. Putin opposed NATO enlargement because it would have prevented his goal of invading and eliminating Ukraine. The ideas he had a quarter century ago - that Ukraine (and Kazakhstan) are “artificial countries” that have been “given away” by Russia and therefore must return — are the ideas he still holds today.

Wow I can't imagine why anyone would wish Putin dead for Christmas
