The 54th Mechanized Brigade is engaged in active combat surrounding Bakhmut and Slavyansk, and has been for months, meaning that the French troops will almost certainly engage Russian forces directly.

France has said for months that they would only send troops to reinforce the northern border with Belarus so Ukraine could draw the border troops to the front.

This act of desperation means that those reserves most likely don’t exist in any substantial numbers anymore, and there is no point in going through with the original plan.

It’s the beginning of the end.

Cuba is incredibly revolutionary in the field of mental health. By extension, social acceptance and support is also far beyond the west.

You can go. Literally no one cares. Just fly to Miami and get a separate flight to Cuba, the local airline will even give you a tourist visa to fill out mid-flight.

The “ban” is completely superficial to deter tourism agencies and airlines from organizing mass tourism in Cuba, and it’s a declaration by the Department of State that if anything happens that you are on your own and they will not help you with anything should something go wrong.

“Game over”?

Can you think of a more disrespectful way to address this situation? Imagine gamifying literal genocide.

If we’re honest, it’s because they are a morally bankrupt mega corporation as many others across the globe are. They are absolutely harvesting data, selling user information, essentially injecting spyware into peoples systems, relying on predatory gaming systems such as gambling and gatcha, among many other ethically corrupt capitalistic practices.

However, the unbridled hate is mostly projection, because nothing Tencent is doing is not what Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Samsung, etc, have been doing already for years; and will continue to do.

“People” shouldn’t be put in quotes here. They weren’t some incomprehensible Lovecraftian entities, they were humans and people just like everyone. That’s what’s makes their evil all the more horrifying.

The Nazis fucking made rape legal and unpunishable for their soldiers to commit with the May Decree before the onset of Operation Barbarossa you fucking degenerate swine.

Eat shit you Nazi trash.

Talk in person. That’s it.

Never talk about anything incriminating online, and if you are ABSOLUTELY FORCED TO, use a peer to peer encryption network.

Maoism is when committing crimes against humanity and terrorism on innocent villages in Peru’s countryside, obviously.

“You won’t let us ransack and pillage your village, steal all your food, and then occupy your houses?”

“Guess we have to shoot all your children, rape your women, and then pillage your village anyways”.

The PCP were a disgusting abomination. On the same level as the Khmer Rouge. Utter garbage and evil. They are a terrorist organization that use Marxist symbols for aesthetics and nothing else. Utter scum.

I highly recommend reading up on the Shining Path. Their founder and leader was a deranged megalomaniac, who was a fascistic nationalist and cared more for his personal cult of personality then Marxism. He has admitted to never even READING MARXIST THOUGHT. The entire history of the organization is insane and I highly recommend the BadEmpenada episode on them.

Woof, one of the only draws of being a mercenary is that the pay is supposed to be several times that of a national uniformed soldier, with no additional 4 year contract as there is in the military.

You just KNOW that Ukraine will pay these "volunteers" 12 bucks an hour, and will NOT let them go home if they reconsider.

Frippa is like 15 years old and in Italy 😭 try again lib

German generals in Ukraine postpone summer offensive by several months to allow newly produced tanks to reach the front. This has allowed Russian defenses to be bolstered significantly in the region.

History really repeats itself huh?
