@TF208No6 It should be a union/sphere/alliance for the purposes of cooperation not subjugation or unity.
It should be one built upon Anglo style liberty but upon a national scale, as apposed to euro style national conformity.
@DarkoDj21@DrewPavlou It was a negotiating tactic to try and get Russia and Ukraine to have a swift conclusion with minimal further bloodshed. That unfortunately failed, and so he is forced to explicitly back them so they may win (if albeit at a terrible cost).
@j_har_ford@EnjoyerPang I was thinking rather recently about the similarities of Nigel and Winston, I am amazed to see that it goes beyond surface level...
@Catlover1886@yshc2011@myuuuuun Nope I am referring to Azerbaijan airlines' flight 8243, shot by a Russian SAM on the 25th of December 2024.
The Russians then proceeded to deny it permission to land and jam it (in the hopes that dead men tell no tales) but it managed to crash land in Kazakhstan. 38 died.
@yshc2011@myuuuuun The Ukrainians were for a while flying remote controlled small planes laden with explosives all throughout Russia.
One does not want to risk having a Russian air defence operator panic and attack you, they've already done it at least once this was to a passenger plane.
@avenged337@1aCreatura@One45Wild@Lorgarwasright2 In all honesty probably a good thing for the guardsman. Unless someone does something stupid, or he gets supremely unlucky he'll (probably) be dead before the necrons on his planet wake up.
That planet is probably a write off one way or another though.
@avenged337@1aCreatura@One45Wild@Lorgarwasright2 Not at all. The necrons are in hibernation, not dead. They are also in the process of waking up en masse (admittedly with a standard deviation measured in the thousands of years) and will wake up if disturbed.
In essence at some random point in the future things will get nasty.
@TF208No6 Indeed. Same with NZ. They want to erase a past and make our identity purely one in the present, no legacy or future to problematise their politics.
But just as your flag honours the English, Scottish, and Irish that came before it, our flag honours the British that created us.
@JackoTroll@jib_loger_alt The pigs have coexist stickers on their cars and a "hamnesty international" building. And those are just some of the more on the nose examples.
@OglaghnaHeirean@mozzieblue@Flynn_T1982 If the vanguard runs straight it a large enemy force, there is a chance that the main body will choose not to launch an aggressive assault to save them so as not to risk falling to the same trap. It's not a betrayal as the vanguard knows that's their purpose from the start.
