According to this very forum, Luxembourg taking over the world is a fairly realistic situation, mostly because everybody'd be too busy going wtf to react.
That's an amusing thought.
So I hear the head of Ukraines navy has defected over to Russia. Any word on that?
This has been mentioned two or three times already.
As far as can be told, the majority of the Ukranian navy doesn't agree.
So, would anyone be able to offer first hand confirmation or contradiction of the BBC report that people in Russia are reacting in a very negative manner to the current shenanigans?
I live in Moscow, and we had about 300-400 people who protested against of what is going on. And no less than 20000 for what is going on.
Wait, they were protesting
for something the government was already doing? People are crazy.
I'll just have to remember your stances on illegally occupying and removing governments next time something like this happens. Not trying to spread 'vitriol'; I'm saying this is highly illegal and will likely lead to terrible repercussions for non-Putin-adorers of Crimea. There's a bit of a precedent for that, mate.
He's not arguing against arguing against Putin's actions, he's arguing against
how you're arguing against Putin's actions.
Well, yeah, like some of us have been saying, this is to Russify Crimea, not free it. They will be killing, deporting, and suppressing anyone that will not adhere to the Putin plan for democracytm.
[sarcasm]Wow, a man from russian government revealed himself and all our plans[/sarcasm]
You sound like a man concerned that there is a totally white side and totally black. And you put Russia to the black one. Ethnical and political leansings are serious accusations.
Didn't you get the memo? Putin is literally Hitler and Russia is modern Nazi Germany. If NATO forces don't immediately intervene, Putin will absorb all of Ukraine, call up Lukashenko, invade Poland, and start WW3. China, Iran, and North Korea will also make appearances as supporting characters in the Axis of Evil.
Literally, no, but there are some disturbing parallels to the start of World War Two that some people I was talking with pointed out. More on that later.
If this thread is a microcosm of people's ability to solve problems, Ukraine is in serious trouble.
Remember, Bay12 is one of the nicer parts of the Internet, and typically one of the more rational groups of people I'm familiar with.
Ukraine is screwed.
Literally, putting thier bodies on the line if/when the bullets start flying.
Good luck with that. Sadly, a sense of righteous indignation is not always paired with a sense of what to do to solve problems.
...If I understood the Russian part of the Internet more, would these make sense? Is there some kind of political satire slipped into Russian translations of Futurama or something?
What;s Hungary just about everything doing in that .gif?
FTFY.
