indeed.
By maxpower Go To PostI wish our whitewashed media would talk about the blatant racism that POC people trying to escape from Ukraine are facing. From being detained in Poland and Ukraine to being forced to fight in the front lines. POC lives truly are still valued differently in this shit world.That we have to pretend the Azov Battalion is no big deal should be another red flag.

Guess it's just normal legit banter.
By WoodenLung Go To PostEastern Europe with in your face obvious racism? I'm surprised.says a lot when you can get bombed for 30+ days but remember to be racist when someone offers you a hot meal
Racism exists everywhere, it's not isolated to just specific societies or geographies. I would argue racism in the West is less than other areas of the world. By far too.
By Frustrated_me Go To PostRacism exists everywhere, it's not isolated to just specific societies or geographies. I would argue racism in the West is less than other areas of the world. By far too.lol please there's levels to racism. if you're starving and walking for weeks to get to a border but still feel morally obligated to drop a "thanks for the food, nigger" as your family is taken in then its some high tier shit.
being racist from a position of power is one thing. being down and out and still shitting on black volunteers so bad that an international humanitarian organization that's been around for decades feels the need to drop a front facing disclaimer to filter out folks before they even start the onboarding process is plainly wild.
only reason racism in the states has a signal at all is because the majority of countries make damn sure to chop the legs out of all those discussions on a regular basis. shit, black and brown men turned around and forced to fight was one of the first things to happen. this isn't a break in theme
Most of the warnings I've seen have been about danger from the aggressors in war torn areas, not "expect to be called a n-word or a monkey by a family you're helping find shelter, eat and or flee the region" when volunteers/aid is desperately needed. That's some whole other shit and to just whitewash it with "racism exists everywhere" is lol.
I remember the new romanian manager at my costa seeing my galatasaray shirt and asking if I was Turkish, and then going on a massive rant about how Muslims are all shit and should be expelled from Europe.
I'm like bro no white person in the uk thinks you're european and the media demonised you as gypsies and crooks.
Fucking dope

By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostPeacecorps got a whole section warning on their website for Black people who may volunteer in Ukraine

Whole page a mess of "You may be shitted on by people you're trying to help".

Fucking hell, they are showing an interview with an 11 year old girl who was shot in the face by a Russian soldier.
I don't care if they are following orders, anyone who does that should suffer the slowest and most painful death ever.

By reilo Go To PostCompared to start of the season where the Lakers expected to be a Top 3 seed and have 55+ wins sure, but if you think they haven't been working explicitly towards making the play-in over the last 3 months once that boat's sailed, you should probably hop off TikTokThis is truly evil but I respect it

It’s basically the dem version of “he doesn’t mean what he says” . I’m having flashbacks. At least president DeSantis won’t be super old
Lolol
By DY_nasty Go To Postbiden cannot be sleepwalking into regime change rhetoric with russia smfh…..I don't think it matters since I'm sure the Russians and everyone else already know that's what the US wants and is trying to do.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostI don't think it matters since I'm sure the Russians and everyone else already know that's what the US wants and is trying to do.Fuel for the fire that nobody needs. Saying the quiet part out loud aside... It's just worse when you have to come behind it and treat it like an oil spill.
That's the quite part? I mean it's been pretty evident and blatantly explicit from the start, the West wants to move on without Putin. Most of the world would want to tbh. The guy's gotta go.
Will he? Up to the Russian people to decide.

If you want to push for de-escalation and expedite any kind of peace talks, classic regime change threats ain't helping.

USA is not pushing for de-escalation or trying expedite any peace talks or offer off-ramps at this point in time, but this may change, war's are fluid afterall. Seeing as how Putin won't give up, or the Russian people won't/can't mass protest, it seems as though the current policy is to bleed Putin dry - I don't know if this will work or not (i.e., it probably won't get rid of Putin), or if this is even the correct policy to engage but Putin's gotta go, as in any policy to make him bleed is good policy IMO. Sanctions should not be lifted, we should somehow bring India into the Western orbit in context of this war (though I imagine this will be tough), enough letting Putin punch above his pathetic weight - his army is in shambles, his economy all but collapsed, and most importantly for his ego his tough guy image his PR has desperately built over the decades has been exposed.
What is clear to me now is this, if the West really armed the Ukrainians with the top of the line stuff and provide better AA (i.e., Patriot-like ground gear or jets), Russia would not have a chance. I didn't think I woud see it. These Ukrainians are battle hardened!

You're sounding propaganda'd up
Wars are fluid, sure, but let's not fantasize about a world without Putin when everything between point A and point B in that scenario leaves a lot of people dead or in horrible predicaments with no actual solution. Russian economy could fall off a cliff and it'd be nothing that region is unfamiliar with as well. For all this chest beating for businesses leaving or cutting them off, there's zero acknowledgement that the world has essentially fortified an already thick echo chamber to Putin's advantage. And if the Ukrainians were further armed but still in a properly isolated stance, they'd just be catching more strategic level heat and outright saturation fire.
And yeah let's further galvanize India's willingness to do dumb shit while China hedges bets. Like they just didn't accidentally launch heat at Pakistan a few days ago.
Situation doesn't really call for home runs. There needs to be a cease fire legitimate enough for people to bury their dead for the first time in a month.
Edit: more than anything saying we can win vs we need this to stop is a bigger divide than most realize

What are your personal thoughts? What would you theoretically propose? I would be interested to know what you think is propaganda on my part as well if you wanna expand on that.
India is already in the Western camp with context to China btw, they're neutral on Russia due to past friendly relations (i.e., Russia came to India's help) however. India is very, very hawkish on China, just look at their recent policies just to get an idea.

In an interview on Sunday, President Emmanuel Macron of France was asked about President Biden's remarks calling President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia a “butcher.” Mr. Macron said that he would not use such language, adding that there should be no escalation — in words or actions.Don't worry, Macron's got this
By reilo Go To PostDon't worry, Macron's got thisPutin literally pummeling cities and towns into orbit while Macron "don't worry everybody", hilarious what an election does to people.
I guarantee Macron will pivot in 2 weeks.
My personal thoughts are that it was ludicrous that things even got to this point three years ago. There is no win to be had. There never was.
And yeah - India is an ally to the US but they are plainly the last group you want to bring to a fight. I'd rather not see one of the most reckless nuclear powers with an open lack of regard for the lives of their own citizens join a war that doesn't involve them at all for the hell of it.

Macron's a fucking twat. He was happy to hold hands with Russia when it came to destroying Libya and plundering it's resources.
By Daz Go To Postyou guys remember 2018?CHHYYYNNNNAAAAA!
When our biggest worry was Trump?
Just read an article that Biden is pushing his administration to decide asylum cases faster since there are now many Ukrainians crossing the border from Mexico. First of all, I'm not an asshole, I get what's happening to Ukrainians but let's admit that when white people are in danger shit suddenly gets done but when it's brown or black people, nah we can't do shit
By Patriotism Go To PostMacron's a fucking twat.

I follow some VCs who usually invest in tech, but with the interest rate hikes and other factors many of them liquidated their positions in late October - early November 2021 and got into Real Estate. That's when the Tech bubble burst, and of course that's exactly around the same time when I went all in on tech, making one of my biggest investment moves.
So here we are, fast forward some months, billionaires are even more rich with RE and I'm holding their tech bags they dumped on me.
Life is grand like that.
