I agree; "America" is a continent.

I (Brazilian) told my fiance (German) that the EU is "A Colony Plus," in the sense they're also allowed to exploit other poorer nations, but will be thrown under the bus when convenient - as what happened with Nordstream showed him. Unlike my country and others, which are just a colony/backyard (some trying to break their chains and getting punished for it).

I suppose it is a case of projection, since their own countries do it with minorities such as Asians.

It is the ultimate weapon: It is a jet plane, it is a submarine, it is a suicide drone, the possibilities are endless!

This kind of mental gymnastics and denial reminds me of the Bloggs couple from the movie When The Wind Blows.

I'm about to marry one. At least he doesn't lean to the right, even if he has some awful misconceptions about great many things.

EE-T1 Osório would still be a decent tank nowadays, judging by the data. It feels like one of these T-64 and T-72 mixed with Western tanks (usually M60 and Leopard 2) derivates that Iran and China made in the 90s and 2000s

If (1) were true and Russia would only retaliate against Estonia that Estonia would be stupid enough to sacrifice itself for the rest of NATO? After watching what Russia has done to Ukraine? I know libs are oblibious, but…

To be fair, a lot of US and NATO military commanders are pissed that the Ukrainians are "afraid of casualties." So it wouldn't be a surprise if the yankees didn't genuinely believe the Estonians would be willing to die for NATO.

I dunno why, but makes me think it's what'd happen if an AK-103 and a M4A1 had a child - at least in looks.

Wow. Chinese spies are suddenly interested in mukbangs, eating challenges, people talking about their days, and cat videos. What kind of nefarious plans are the evil CCP brewing? Stay tuned.
