@rinalu_ Warsaw pact was just a facade to the continuation of russian imperialism. NATO has not disbanded because its members still need defence from countries in the east with imperialistic ambitions. Russia is one of these countries.
@justin_debates@realDonaldTrump AI check:
Data supports saying U.S. entered 2025–26 with a collection of favorable crime, mortality, income, border and energy statistics. They do not support treating every one of those outcomes as an independently verified accomplishment caused by the current administration
@michellekirb51 Did someone miraculously found a crapton of refining capacity somewhere and teleported massive amount of crude oil to the said refinery?
Because that’s the only realistic scenario to lower fuel prices quickly, and even that takes several weeks at best.
@rinalu_ this post is like a joke about soviet nail manufacturing: when quota was for units, they made the nails as short and thin as possible. when quota was changed to weight, they made nails as big and heavy as possible.
Never mind the nuance and actual needs.
@infantserbian I like the combined population statistic, totally “forgot” to mention that out of that, China’s share is around 90% of the number. It’s like comparing a mouse with an elephant.
@lizzidpeople@TheMightyMagnet@EricLDaugh Except that diesel does not flow in long distance pipelines, crude oil does. Thanks for your effort, here are your rubles.
@RPhiliponet Things must be going exceptionally bad for russia given the amount of “Ukraine-is-doomed” and “russia-is-not-my-enemy” bot messages around here. Russkies usually ramp up propaganda when frontlines are not in their favor.
@Victory4liberty@HavryshkoMarta Years of war reduce population, wow, who would have thought that. And no, Ukraine wasn’t thriving in soviet union, they were surviving, also there were several million colonisers from the east living in Ukraine during SU times.
@TruthScoreWeb@EthanLevins2 There is no such thing as ukrainian civil war. There are russian-backed puppet regimes in crimea, donetsk and luhansk and that’s about it.
@DanieleGanser These were initially soviet troops that should have been withdrawn immediately after dissolution of sovier union. They were there illegally for several years. And you think this is something to be proud of?
@DThrowingShade@ztisdale Except Alberta is not a sovereign state but a province of Canada, so they can’t decide that without canadian parliament agreeing to it.
@ArmandoMema in 2026 alone, and the year is not over, there have been around 20 nuclear-related signaling addressed to european countries by russian officials or political pundits. 4 verifiable direct threats. So it is actually the russian side that should pipe down on this matter.
@AlternatNews@george_ludgate Zelenskyy indeed ran on a peace platform, that was one of the reasons why russia started the war. Can’t have Ukrainian leader seeking peace, totally undermines the “ukronazi” story, even vatniks will then realise they have been duped by putin and might decide to get rid of him.
@BrianMcDonaldIE What a joke, europeans weren’t even part of alaska talks, that was trump admin solo effort. Nothing of substance was agreed or discussed, it was an effort for (social)media clicks, nothing more. Trump stroking his own ego, also known as just another day.
