that russia isn’t completely walled off from the rest of the world is a travesty.
The fact that America still exists is a shame for humanity. Genocide, slavery, illegal wars, genocide.
Okay ml
Don't like the messenger or the message?
Both things can be true
One thing is more true.
Yeah, just like Russia.
Too bad both countries are huge.
Lol. Russia doesn't coup other governments socialist projects and install fascist dictators. Russia doesn't control the focus of international aggression resulting in the deaths of millions of innocent civilians.
Oh, guess you're just a tankie. Bless you.
No, just another victim of American imperialism. Russia hasn't threatened my country in decades, if not centuries. America? About a month.
Cool story.
Ukrainians probably don't care because Russia has invaded them.
The point is both countries pull that shit. Just because Russia didn't target yours this time doesn't change that they pull the same shit.
Ironically, that kind of selfish narrow thinking makes you sound really American. You'd fit right in with Republican "fuck you, got mine" culture, only having empathy when it affects you rather than when it affects anyone.
Lol. Maybe if I didn't also have historical analysis.
"Gun stash" = two handguns and ammunition.
I know guys who have more guns than that in their sock drawer.
Lol it’s still a gun stash. Why we Americans think a “gun stash” has to be a John Wick roomful of guns, ammo, and other weaponry to qualify as a “stash” is nuts.
Same reason that the quintessential American expects a large fast food meal to still (they don't anymore) map out to a huge portion of food.
Same reason Big Gulps are cheap.
And so it goes.
That's what they (we) were sold.
You think the Russian government is plotting the destruction of Germany with 2 handguns?
I have no idea how you pulled that direction out of my statement.
That said:
WW1 was started with the killing of one man.
So if you don’t think you can cause a shift of national politics with the well-placed death of one individual you’re naive.
WWI kicked off with the murder of one man, that doesn't mean it wasn't already a powder keg.
That being said, you don't see this as a massive reach for finding 2 handguns in the woods?
Good thing we aren't facing a powderkeg of WWIII.
Wait a minute! We fucking are already there.
That being said, I suppose having terrorists in your country planning murders is not a big deal if the CIA is going out every week around the world with a kill list. Modern life yo.
100%.
WWIII will be started by America and/or Israel. I think it's obvious to anybody with any kind of political awareness at all.
I have no idea what you’re after. You’re asking for absolutes in a world with far too few of them.
Lol. Yeah I like evidence.
And people feeding you
No, but it may be planning the assassination of one or more dissidents or people involved in supporting the Ukrainian defence effort, or perhaps some unrelated provocation designed to influence the coming elections. And this stash is unlikely to be everything they have in the country.
And the proof it has anything to do with Russia?
A single bullet led to 22 million dead.
Kind of? Like I said it was a powder keg waiting to explode.
They usually go after their own people
Germans? Historically, yeah.
I'm not having blue maga arguments today, I hope you find your way to truth
Hell yeah, death to blue maga. Death to America!
Found the US-American lol
'Murica brain.
How much forest land does Germany have?? Every time I hear something shady about the country, it seems to be happening in their forests.
Germany is famous for it's black forests
How ironic...
Heh
Its where they store all of their ham
And cake.
And our guns!
And their... You know... The tree cutting thing, with a blade... Not the saw, the other one...
Oh, I know! The thing. Strong enough to cut through anything.
33% of total land area is forest.
Two handguns? No evidence it had anything to do with Russia? Lmfao wtf
Yeah there seems to be zero evidence for that assertion only speculation.
But the warmongering and hysteria is really reaching a boiling point it seems. They need it for Nato 3.0 5% of GDP for the new privatized military military complex. Fuck yeah we want the total war lol.
Really reminds me of that Star Wars scene: "So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause". Neoliberals literally digging their own grave.
Unfortunately that scene lives in my head as well, lol. Neoliberals will cheer for fucking anything as long as the elite tell them it's good for the economy, lol.
Yeah. When I was looking up that quote I thought it was "democracy dies" and was worried it wouldn't really fit, but luckily it said "liberty" lol. Comrade Lucas was really prescient!
Jesus that's bad.
The only ones worse then the Russians are the US Americans and the Israelis.
Fortunately, they all seem to be working together so we can hate them together as well.
