Nazi Germany thought it was very important too until May 1944.

Finland was the last one, I think? Other than Belarus and Ukraine.

Surely “their soil” means actual Russian territory, not Crimea.

Oddly stated. If Russia gets to keep Crimea after all this, it will be a 100% win and they won’t be discouragedat all to pull this shit again.

More precisely they are elves who were captured by Morgoth and corrupted to become orcs. I think this makes it even more fitting since russian soldiers have been either forced to the front or corrupted by lies.

Anyway, “orcs” refer to the invading forces here, not to russians as a “race”.

If we wanna talk about blatant racism, Medvedev publically calls ukrainians “bastards” and wants to “kill them all”.

Will they solve it by murdering these individuals and claiming they were the exception?

I have managed to stay off the hype train quite a bit, so honest question: Is the game good? I’ve possibly perhaps all the 80s and 90s AD&D crpgs, and both Baldur’s Gates, and I mostly liked them.

Imagine thinking that “liberal” is a slur.

Compared to Donald Trump’s admin? That doesn’t seem like a high hurdle question, but I’m not american so I don’t know.

My personal experience with KDE has been utterly negative, and I’ve been trying it at times since version 2. Most recently, I had pretty bad time with KDE’s multimonitor capabilities.

Gnome works fine when its primary task is to handle monitors and start Steam :)

I’ve had varying luck with the standard distros, but when I found Nobara, somehow all my gaming problems went away. And now everything just works, actually better than on Windows. I don’t have the time or energy to find out what they’re doing better for my particular case, but apparently something.

(avoid KDE)

Over the last year, they pretty much cleared the border of troops to support the Ukraine war. A lot of them now stay in Ukraine permanently. Hence Finland could walk into (though obviously not actually hold) St. Petersburg right now.

I think this shows better than anything how much they really are worried about NATO.

So in order to even restore the troop levels prior to Finland’s joining NATO they indeed have to bolster their “defences” quite a lot.

Bullets have value!

The PRC and the KMT are not separate countries. You are inventing a new way of thinking that you do not apply literally anywhere else in the world.

Well, can you think of any other two countries like PRC and Taiwan that are in a similar situation? If you cannot, then you kinda have to think about them in a new way that doesn’t apply anywhere else in the world.

The KMT was the party in charge for a very short period of time and they didn’t operate much on Taiwan island.

So who operates on Taiwan now? It’s not PRC.

Cuba was never part of the United States.

And in the same way Taiwan was never part of PRC. Or even less, as I showed before: a tiny (but larger than 0!) portion of Cuba has been part of USA since 1903. Exactly no part of Taiwan has been part of PRC since its founding in 1912.

I hope they’ll do Deck 2 some day. My current laptop is still so much stronger than the current Deck that there’s no point of going there even though I’m quite interested.

It’s literally an island close off the coast of China, like Galveston, the Florida Keys, or Long Island.

… and Cuba. USA actually has more presence on Cuba (thanks to Guantanamo Bay Naval Base) than PRC has ever had on Taiwan.

Of course, that doesn’t matter: Cuba is sovereign and Taiwan is sovereign. The latter temporarily lacks official international recognition for global politics reasons unfortunately.

Their deflation is way smaller than the inflation in the west, at least right now. Plus the west is at least attempting to decouple from chinese manufacturing which is bound to make things more, not less, expensive. Thirdly, changes like this reflect on consumer prices slowly. And fourthly, corporations will just pocket the difference if nothing (usually competition) stops them from doing so.

It’s an island that communist China hasn’t ruled over even one second during all of their existence. To claim that PRC should rule over them is about as sensible as claiming that Taiwan should rule over mainland China.

Their independence should be made official.

Isn’t WikiLeaks a compromised Russian op now?

Well obviously not, if they’re spilling out alt-right secrets.
