The US and EU might buy a little, but most of it is being bought by China, India, and Africa at a steep discount. As I'm sure you know. Everybody buying Russian oil deserves scorn, even if they are living in the EU or the US.
Sounds to me like war crimes are still a pretty good way to determine who the good guys are, then.
Does Germany do them any more? How about Ireland?
Joseph Gubbels? That is comically close to Joseph Goebbels lol
Yeah, some of 'em. Most of them are just regular Chinese people repeating what they've been told, though. I've talked with all kinds of Chinese people like that, and truly, when I'm not being a dick about it, it is amazing how quickly I can change their minds. "Quickly" here means "in a month". Not during the first conversation. Be gentle.
a deal can be made with Russia to end the fighting [in Ukraine].
How do you know? My impression is that any deal without security guarantees from the West will just be violated in about two years or so by Russia, and Russia would refuse to make a deal with such security guarantees for exactly that reason.
If Russia changes its mind and says it would be willing to accept such a deal, I would change my mind. Actually I still wouldn't because Russia are the lyingest bastards I know, but whatever. It hasn't happened. It would never happen.
Imperialists cannot be reasoned with without credible threats of violence. If it were otherwise, they wouldn't be imperialist.
What is the connection between kids using social media and kids opposing genocide? It seems to me like the exact opposite is more likely, among kids and adults using social media.
There is one ISO and three boot partitions.
First of all, I formatted the USB drive with one vfat partition. Then I copied the contents of the ISO over. That and some prodding in grub.conf is enough to get the ISO working, and there is a whole lot of extra space in the vfat partition.
The entire contents of all of my computers' hard drives is encrypted, but that leaves the boot partition. So I moved the boot partitions onto the vfat partition, each in a separate folder labelled by the host. Then, I added entries to grub.conf for each host. The USB drive boots and a boot menu appears with all of the ISO's entries, plus a list of hosts. I choose the right host, then boot.
(I need the USB drive mounted before I can update the kernel or the microcode.)
Yeah, I was looking for a good CMYK fountain pen ink set. Nobody seems to make such a set. I could get a lot of half-solutions that would kind of work, but nothing beats the colour space coverage of a complement of CMY inks that were specifically designed to cover the whole colour space. They're also about 10 times cheaper than fountain pen ink.
(And I got my printer ink for free on top of that from a print shop that just discontinued sales of their manual printer ink refills. The shop was Prink in Oulu, Finland. They probably still have these free refills.)
About six drops of ink and water the rest of the way gives you an entire cartridge of ink. This stuff is super concentrated.
I would use printer ink for the K too, but that's too much of a crapshoot. Too often, the K is pigment-based, and that is likely to ruin a fountain pen. And it's easy enough to find a good neutral black fountain pen ink. That is what the Platinum carbon black is for. It's actually even more concentrated. Just one drop of it divided between two refills makes about a 50:50 grey that I can further modify with the printer ink. For less grey I have to go all the way down to one drop every four refills.
The English "pedarast" is not a great translation. Not vulgar, or like, swear-wordy enough. Doesn't capture the Russian connotations. See https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D0%BF%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%81
For real, though,
MDMA is shockingly good at conflict resolution, lol.

It would probably blow up the port doing the laundering, which is unlikely to be happening in the EU.
But it would even more likely blow up an Indian or Chinese port.
It doesn't matter. Like I said, I think this is a really bad idea. Mainly because it is collective punishment, and almost all of the thousands of victims would have had nothing to do with their corporations' and their governments' decision to buy that oil.
