We will see once they cry (or not) “Mommmyyyyy Ni kaaaan! They blew up MY fuel supply!”
You reap what you sow.
Sorry, a little busy at the moment. The correct phrase, of course, is “reep what you sew.”
Yes really Brian its glaringly obvious your the one needs get a life 26900 posts from you VS 210 from me.
You were the one that first got personal accusing me of posting too much LAWL.
I just find it staggering how outraged the Russians seem to be about it. They’ve been shelling civilian targets for weeks now, but the Ukrainians may or may not have blown up a fuel depot on Russian soil and it’s all “this is going to hamper negoitiations”. No shit, what about the thousands of dead Ukrainian civilians.

Well, when you invade country after country…then complain NATO is trying to set up defenses along your borders so that is provocation to war…
A never ending loop. Russia attacks a country. Other countries get worried and threaten to defend themselves. Russia claims those countries are out to destroy Russia. Russia attacks another country…

Foreign relations of Taiwan | International isolation
Due to "the absence of a cross-strait understanding" (1992 consensus), the ROC has encountered international isolation due to political and economic pressure from the PRC since the 1970s, and it has continued under the pro-Taiwan independence administration of the Democratic Progressive Party. Taiwan is not allowed to attend World Health Assembly, Interpol, International Civil Aviation Organisation, or the United Nations' Kimberley Process Certification Scheme.

Usual opinion of the outside world:
Tai-what? Oh, yeah, that place. We buy their stuff, but they’re really nothing to us. I mean, they’re not really even a country, are they? I guess China’s going to absorb them one of these days, and maybe that’s for the best. At any rate, it’s none of our business.
Recent opinion of the outside world:
Hey, Taiwan companies, don’t be such selfish loners. You need to join the rest of us and use your powers for good in the noble fight for Ukrainian independence.
yeah you’re right, taiwan shouldn’t care much what they think.
yeah you’re right, taiwan shouldn’t care much what they think.
Well, maybe I didn’t think things through when I posted. On reflection, I think you’re right, too.
I want Ukraine to be a free and independent nation, and I want the same for Taiwan.
I guess it’s just a complicated mess. I don’t really have any solutions.
He makes the point repeatedly that the CIA lacks linguists, and how this is a serious problem. Interesting. Probably not hard to solve either. For example, I know my fully bilingual son would love doing any work that could screw over China (when he gets old enough to do such work).
Unless the US remedies its CIA problem by emptying out and fumigating the place, before restaffing it with people who care enough about the world to learn its languages, the US will continue to fly blind — and crash into the next Ukraine.
'Hostile environment!' Germany left scrambling as Putin cuts off Gazprom gas...
GERMANY has been left in shambles as Vladimir Putin reportedly has cut off the crucial Gazprom gas supply amid the ongoing crisis with Ukraine, a new report has claimed.
On the positive end, it’s now April.
On the negative, my cousins in the great bier-Stadt are seeing light snow right now and day-highs in only single-Celsius digits.
I’m (maybe foolishly) hoping for something in this neighborhood (or anything remotely like it that doesn’t trigger a nuclear war):
Nikita Khrushchev | Reasons for removal
There were multiple reasons for Khrushchev's sudden downfall. It was not a coup, because it followed the Central Committee procedures for naming leadership that Khrushchev had himself introduced. As William Tompson has noted, there were no show trials, no ritual attacks, no public confessions, and no executions. For most members of the Central Committee, there was growing annoyance with his arbitrary decision-making and lack of collegiality. They complained about the unwieldy bureaucracy tha
