nerd you can't assume someone is a Nazi just because they volunteered for the Nazis and served in a Nazi division and views his time under the Nazis as the pinnacle of his life! If you think he's a Nazi just for doing that then you're the real nazi smuglord

It didn't come from a lab in Wuhan, it was first discovered in Wuhan but was already going around in Italy for months at that point based on waste samples.

The point was that we have just as much evidence to say it came from Detrick as we do to say it came from a Chinese lab. It most likely didn't come from either, but only one of these conspiracies gets pushed. If you provide any pushback that maybe China isn't responsible for COVID you get met with "well they would lie and cover it up, so I might as well be right"

Our Deputy Prime Minister Christian Freeland was more than happy to pose behind the banner last year

10 year policy lag

By God are we working hard to close that gap

This point is unironically what ultimately made me start learning about communism. When I still had basically no understanding of politics I brought up how there's more than enough food to feed everyone to a friend and he said "well if we did feed everyone that would be communism" as a dumb gotcha

To combat this I set the packages directly across from wherever I'm cooking, instruction side facing me.

Remembering to throw it out after though??? Impossible task.

This entire thread is proof that the liberal understanding of geopolitics and foreign policy is entirely vibes based

Do you think these rounds just magically disappear after they're used? They're going to continue to litter the land and cause generations of people completely uninvolved in the conflict to suffer from birth defects, lung damage, and cancer, as can be seen after its use in Iraq. No one is immune to depleted uranium. At this point you can just admit that you care more about killing Russians than you do defending Ukraine, consequences be damned.

Unironically yes. A peace deal was in the works last year until, according to the Ukranian Pravda, Boris Johnson pressured Zelensky not to go through with it. This would have stopped the fighting and resulted in some withdrawal of Russian troops, but since the West is more interested in weakening their geopolitical rivals and helping the weapons industry rake in profit than ending the war, they squashed any possibility of that happening.

The op is specifically about depleted uranium but hey, if you want to make the case that we shouldn't be sending weapons to Ukraine in the first place I'm not going to argue against it shrug-outta-hecks

To put this further into perspective, the United States currently has the highest prison population per capita in the world, and the second largest prison population in the world, with people of color making up over two thirds of that population. Roughly 1/5 of the world's population are in American prisons, a vast portion of those being private prisons.
