@firasmodad I would have also added extra-marital sexual relations. However, can you elaborate on contraception?

Getting replies claiming that gay marriage is a matter of choice, but euthanasia isn't because vulnerable people are being put to death. I just want to remind you that paedophiles are purchasing babies from impoverished young women. How's that for choice? Social conservatism is one package. You have to reject the entirety of liberalism, from divorce through contraception to gay marriage, transgenderism, euthanasia, and abortion, or you have to accept all of it. These are the only morally coherent consistent positions. They're also what separates Catholic teaching from literally every other religion. Don't be a Judas. Become Christ-brained.

@JanMracek3 @AvdNester China was actually supported by USSR - and Japan attacked Mongolia in retaliation. I still find it strange that even Czechs don't see their partition as an act of war. But I have a bit of solace knowing that you are at least aware of the situation.

Ptáš se logicky. Takže odpovím postupně. Ano souhlasím. Nicméně se držím historických faktů a snažím se oprostit od svých vlastních pocitů. Co se týká Číny, tak tam konflikt s Japonskem začal tuším už v roce 1931. Oficiálně v roce 1937. Ale …. v té chvíli to byl konflikt dvou zemí. Historický termín “světová válka” pracuje se zapojením mnoha zemí. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Nevím zdali jsem to vysvětlil.

По факту, мы сейчас наблюдаем вариант линии бытия, где Сталин превентивно напал на Германию, не дожидаясь пока та нападет на СССР. А так, игроки все те же: только Британия и США на стороне Гитлера.

@JanMracek3 @AvdNester But surely you understand that this is wrong? Simply illogical. Even if we put aside Czechoslovakia, there is still a problem of China -no one would deny that it was a participant in WW2 - but when exactly its participation started? And there has to be war ongoing to participate

To je temná kapitola našich dějin. Ale nikoliv začátek WWII. My to vnímáme jako akt zrady od našich spojenců Francie a Velké Británie. Na jejich nátlak jsme přistoupili k zabrání Sudet (příhraničních oblastí obydlených z velké části němci) Mělo to být vstřícné gesto vůdči Hitlerovi, které mělo zabránit válce. Jak víme, ničemu to nezabránilo. Navíc se do rukou wehrmachtu dostal obrovský moderní průmyslový potenciál, který mu výrazně pomohl. Je to pro nás velmi nepříjemná část dějin. Jelikož jsme pod nátlakem mocností složili zbraně a v rámci zachování míru jsme ani nebojovali 😠 Ale obecně vnímáme jako začátek války (tedy bojů) napadení Polska.

@JanMracek3 @AvdNester I would actually say that it started in 1937 - with Marco Polo Bridge incident. However, it's strange to me that even the Czechs themselves do not see them being partitioned between Nazis and Poland as an act of war. This is just disrespectful - if not to country, then to Pavlík

@Dimsvan25406 @AvdNester Protože v roce 1938 válka nezačala.

@LarryLonerX @ihikebc @James7Holland No: it's actually pretty rare - for example, Iraq didn't close its borders when the USA attacked it. Russia didn't close its borders when Western-armed and trained mujahideen invaded Dagestan in 1999 or when Georgia attacked in 2008

@Dimsvan25406 @ihikebc @James7Holland Yea, that is what usually happens when your country is being attacked. Nothing cotradictary about that. Your country would block its males from leaving if attacked. So would Russia.

So, Ukraine gets its €90 billion I get the optics. EU must do something, otherwise this Biden/NATO/EU foreign policy disaster in Eastern Europe turns also into a defeat. But let’s take a step back, like few in the EU echo-chamber dare do anymore, because the Zelenskyy cult is so dominant in Brussels, and so strongly shored up by super-lobbyists like Tony Blair, Anders Fogh-Rasmussen, Carl Bildt or Sanna Marin. 1st great tragedy here: EU is sending this money to 🇺🇦 while continuing to purchase billions in oil and gas from 🇷🇺. 🇪🇺 is funding both sides of this conflict and has done for 4yrs. An inhumane shitshow. 2nd tragedy: this money will fund thousands more being unwillingly sent to die over a few square kms of farmland in Eastern Ukraine. There are stories about corrupt 🇺🇦 army recruitment personnel extorting life savings from people who are unsurprisingly willing to pay anything not to die on the front line. Also heard further you go through the recruitment process, the more people must be paid off. This is why recruiters are now openly being attacked and arrested in Ukraine itself. Patience is wearing thin. No doubt something similar is happening in Russia. 3rd tragedy: by now, we know lots of the money will be stolen. Corrupt officials, oligarchs and military personnel expect their share. We’ve seen countless stories in the press about corruption in 🇺🇦, yet this endemic corruption is quietly sidelined by “journalists” when Brussels celebrates billions of EU taxpayers money being sent to Kyiv. Just this week, we learnt mayors on low salaries and oligarchs with vast fortunes are busy buying properties in Monaco and elsewhere. With elections suspended in Ukraine, and a state of war in place, they are cashing out seemingly unhindered, and choosing jurisdictions they obviously feel they can trust long term. Macron’s France is clearly seen as one such place. It is also clear that while France is pushing billions towards Ukraine, the French state won’t be investigating or arresting many corrupt Ukrainian officials. Such stories would be devastating for Macron’s ability to keep funding the Zelenskyy regime. I repeat: this kind of corruption and taking of funds to beautiful European rivieras is no doubt also happening on the Russian side. This isn’t about picking sides. This is about the right and ability to discuss some of the awkward truths around the war in Ukraine and the vast EU taxpayers funds being sent there. To criticise the horrifying continuation of the conflict, or the absurd ongoing funding of both sides, or the corruption in Ukraine doesn’t make me pro-Putin. It makes me a normal human being. Millions share my concerns. That is why I have assisted efforts to get Europeans and Russians to sit around tables together again, and why I am so disheartened when the EU elite threaten to withdraw funding from the Paralympics or Venice Biennial just because Russian athletes and artists are participating. This smacks of wanting to dehumanise Russians, so that war—and even widespread continental war—is easier to sell to Europeans. The problem in Brussels (and Berlin, Paris, London, Helsinki, Tallin, Warsaw, Riga, Stockholm, etc) is that a majority of politicians there (and the malleable reporters who are their obedient allies on this topic) are so dogmatic only victory over Moscow is now perceived as an acceptable outcome. Putting aside the many military experts who are categorical that such an outcome is impossible, few seem to acknowledge the vast human and financial cost of their geopolitical desires, or the many absurdities/contradictions of the policies they’ve implemented. That is why I find Kallas and Zelenskyy always smiling so disturbing. They appear to have psychologically detached their desire for victory from the terrible realities of war. I hope with this article I have added some rationality to the belief (sadly still a controversial one in Brussels) that this war should end as soon as possible.

@LarryLonerX @ihikebc @James7Holland You yourself just contradicted yourself - Ukrainians are being hunted like animals on their own streets to be thrown into the meatgrinder precisely because borders are closed to them. Russians can leave any time - it's impossible to do to them what is done to Ukrainians

@ihikebc @James7Holland You are so ignorant to think this. I have personally talked with multiple well educated Russians that fled to Thailand so that they are not forcefully thrown to the meat grinder. Latest group of fleeing citizens happened right before 2026 digital drafting was set in to law.

@JanMracek3 @AvdNester Nigga, you literally Czech - why do you use 1939 and not 1938, when the Axis and Poland divided Czechoslovakia?

@AvdNester Příteli. Všichni známe historii. Hitlerovské Německo napadlo SSSR. Operace Barbarosa. 22. června 1941 Tím začala Vaše Velká Vlastenecká Válka. Každý to ví. A každý to chápe. Problém je, že Druhá Světová Válka začala 1.9.1939 Napadením Polska. Víš jak to bylo dál? 😉

@MWReborn_3rd @Landeur Both Muslims and especially Buddhists are significantly overrepresented in Russian army

@Landeur russia is not good either, they got a big muslim community there growing since most soldiers for russia are ethnic russians, the real option is poland, polish domination of eastern europe as a slavic prussia

If I saw this as a Ukrainian soldier I would switch sides immediately. No point fighting and dying for an economic zone that you don’t even get to profit from.

@ABritishCorvid @firasmodad Russia will always put security over prosperity - so, no amount of trade will force Russians to tolerate Western military encroachment and support for international adversaries and local separatists.

@firasmodad Some time ago, i couldn't possible clip it now. Carl once described a really cool vision for Europe and Russia. In which we promoted trade deals with Russia, similar to the oil, in which it renders any hostile act completely not worth it for Russia....

You're probably retarded, not evil. Europe's interest is in partnering with Iran to counterbalance Turkey. Europe's interest is in partnering with Russia to make sure it has cheap energy and natural resources, so its industries can be competitive. Europe has no interest in pushing Russia and China closer together. And you're definitely not a scientist.

@CatImperator @CarlZha Nigga, how could you forget Flossie: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flossie_(…

@CarlZha There is not a single cat that was born when Putin became president for the first time

A whole new generations of Russians have grown up under Putin

@ramaboule @RWApodcast Europe has been heavily relying on Soviet/Russian energy for generations now - and suprisingly backwards in a variety of areas. From the inability to build spaceships to lacking the local social media. Europe is extremely dependent on the rest of the world.

@Dimsvan25406 @RWApodcast From Europe. As it has always done except a few recent decades. Still now Europe has competitive gear in every role. But it was struggling to get prices competitive as USA was getting orders even of other Europeans. This is going to change quickly.

@ramaboule @RWApodcast Afghanistan never attacked the USA. More than that: Taliban repeatedly offered to give up bin Laden. Afghanistan war was an obvious imperialistic endeavour - nothing to do with collective defence.

@Dimsvan25406 @RWApodcast It's almost as if they were taking their signature on the NATO treaty seriously. The one Trump is muzzing about infringing.

@ramaboule @RWApodcast From whom will Europeans buy their weapons, energy, tech? They already burned bridges with other players.

@Dimsvan25406 @RWApodcast As USA stops subsidizing soft power in Europe, it will not maintain itself for magical reason. As it declares itself enemy of Europe, there is simply no room to no treat the threat accordingly.

@ramaboule @RWApodcast They were fighting in Afghanistan for more than a year by then - which was invaded under ridiculous premises. And even in this situation, some Europeans joined the invasion of Iraq and most of them participated in the aftermath.

@Dimsvan25406 @RWApodcast 2003 is just 20 years ago and back then European absolutely had said sovereignety, to the point the made USA mad on Iraq and in return got lobbied by US soft power creating the current leadership, true. But my whole point is this power structure is falling apart.

@ramaboule @RWApodcast You talk like Europeans have a shred of sovereignty left. This is false - just look at Nord Stream. Americans can trample Europeans as much as they want with no consequences whatsoever. The real question now: will Donald be able to make them pay him for giving him Greenland?

@RWApodcast I am saying this with assurance and regardless of the current leadership because of laws of political gravity. This is already a massive, crazy good win for Russia and it will likely get better. Congratulation to them.

@eurochallenges You supported every enemy Russians fought since the turmoil of the Soviet collapse - no matter western-trained and armed jihadists, invading Dagestan in 1999 or Georgians attacking in 2008: news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/82… Put your mouth where your money is

@eurochallenges Europe is right now waging a proxy war against Russia - openly admitted by your own elites like Boris Johnson. That was always the plan, as Merkel and Hollande had admitted years ago. So, come on: you want Russians dead - and hopefully they want the same for you. Just do it.

@kmaroros59764 @JREHaliburt @Frialum Ukrainians actively participated in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria

It’s so painful to think that Russians openly bragging about their war crimes, how they create humanitarian catastrophe, but the world is silent, nobody really cares.

@grok @KdeanGames @elinavaltonen @CBSNews What about 1999 Dagestan war?

Over the last 100 years (since 1925), here are verified instances of countries attacking Russia/Soviet Union, based on historical records: - 1929: China seized Soviet-controlled Chinese Eastern Railway, arresting staff; Soviets responded militarily. Outcome: Soviet win, status quo restored. - 1939: Japan initiated border clashes at Khalkhin Gol. Outcome: Soviet victory. - 1941-45: Nazi Germany & allies (Romania, Hungary, Italy, Finland) invaded in Operation Barbarossa. Outcome: Soviet victory. - 1969: China ambushed Soviet guards on Zhenbao Island, leading to border clashes. Outcome: Ceasefire, Soviet tactical win. - 2022-25: Ukraine conducted drone strikes, sabotage, and 2024 Kursk ground incursion into Russia. Ongoing.

In the past 100 years, no neighboring country of Russia has attacked Russia. During the same period, Russia has invaded 19 countries. Putin has given no reason to believe that Russia would change its imperialistic course. Thank you for the interview, @CBSNews.

@KarlaBuenger @nxt888 In other words, two different capitals having the same capital does not equate to being the same country. Glad that we agree.

@Dimsvan25406 @nxt888 Nope the Ottoman Empire actually is a Turk Empire that defeated the Romans! From the word go it was apart of the Islamic empires conquest’s! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_E…

This is exactly the problem with the way you have been trained to think. You hear "America is not the good guy" and your reflex is to point to Putin, as if that somehow redeems Washington’s crimes. America has over 800 military bases on foreign soil. It has overthrown more than fifty governments, starved entire nations through blockades, and dropped more bombs since 1945 than the rest of the world combined. It has waged war across every continent in the name of freedom while looting the very people it claims to liberate. Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine isn’t the same as America’s endless wars. It was not about fabricating WMDs or bombing a continent away for oil. It was about stopping NATO’s expansion, defending Russian-speaking populations, and ending the years-long tightening of a Western noose around a neighbor’s neck. Russia is not planting biolabs on America’s borders. It is not surrounding the U.S. with nuclear missiles. It is not staging coups in Canada or Mexico to install anti-American puppets. The United States has no right to lecture anyone on sovereignty after Korea, Vietnam, Chile, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, and Yemen. When America wages war, it is to loot markets, seize resources, or keep the world in its shadow. When Russia acts, it is in its own neighborhood, in response to a real and present threat. The point isn’t that Russia is flawless. The point is that the moral high ground Washington claims does not exist. And once you stop pretending America is the universal "good guy," you begin to see the difference between empire for profit and resistance to empire.
