Next level McCartyhism: If it sounds vaguely Russian, it must also be banned. Remember when people were dumping out all their polish vodka to boycott Russia?
Even if it were...what, do they think that the Russian Cyberwarfare Division (which is notably simultaneously capable of controlling US elections and is also running on 1940s hardware apparently) are going to brainwash them?
You can read sources you don't agree with, it is okay. I have read NYT before and have yet to regress to a lib.
How else would you have room to buy the newer and more expensive bombs from your contractors?
Stop...murdering people? I am sorry, but how will the Lockheed CEO possibly win the yacht contest without the US government paying him billions of dollars? Do you expect him to show up with last year's model?
Quick, pivot back! Have everyone vote for Biden again, it will work this time!
McCarthy would be proud to see his legacy alive and well.
I can't say I am surprised, but a bit disappointed.
I feel like the PragerU audience would probably see this as a good thing, so it does make a certain degree of sense for them to advertise as such.
"The problem now"
They have been in desperation draft mode for a while now, we always knew the problem was people. Anyone with sense was saying this like a month into the conflict. Getting western powers to shovel their old equipment to them was never an issue as it just let the weapons manufacturers sell newer ordnance to said powers.
Not only do they lack people, they need more than just warm bodies that they can shove a rifle at and point them in a direction. Armies aren't lining up and charging at each other anymore. Modern warfare isn't just which side has more troops, you need trained and experienced soldiers that have a willingness to fight and know how to use their equipment. Ukraine has none of those.
So their current line is that the explicitly anti-Russian military alliance is checks notes controlled by Russia?
That's...wait, yes that makes perfect sense. Quick, disband NATO in order to spite Putin! That will show him!
Depends what the line is for and what kind of relative hurry we are in. Are we waiting for food in a cafeteria? Not a big deal. Seats at an event that is a first-come, first-served basis? Bigger issue. It affects everyone behind me too, not just me.
I’d likely say something, but not create a big fuss about it if they’re dead set on it.
This is pretty much accurate. They have moved rapidly more towards revisionism to try to garner more popular support in recent years, which hasn't really been worth it, but do have probably the best policies of any of our majors parties. And they ARE a pretty major party here, technically speaking one of the biggest communist parties in a non-Communist state. Their position about the CPC is a huge miss, admittedly.
Local chapters can be a lot better depending where you are. Marx remains extremely popular throughout academia and is very often taught by economists at universities here quite positively. I am not sure how much of it sticks with the college aged though, I did my undergraduate in another country, only did graduate school here.
The LDP (our governing body since WW2) has sucked since inception, but I still hold out hope for the more revolutionary elements in the country. If it wasn't for the US-led red purge in the aftermath of WW2, we likely would be socialist already.
5 is great, and also pretty underrated in my opinion. I recently replayed the first six and I think I had greatly underrated 3/5 and overrated 4.
Sounds like Russian agents have been infilitrating the UK longer than we think!!!!1
