It’s the old prepper adage: two is one, one is none.

The smugglers don’t give a fuck, they got paid.
In the Mediterranean they use any shitty dinghy that just about floats and drive paying people to international waters, then the smuggler bails out in a proper boat and leaves the people adrift to be rescued by NGOs or coast guard.
Gandhi did non-violent protests.
He didn’t burn himself alive, nobody would remember him if he did
But suicide by self immolation because of it?
Why? What drives a person to do that?
If you’re willing to die for the cause, why not immolate the Israeli consul for example?
As soon as Chinese “fishing vessels” aren’t armed and won’t turn their transponders off to sneak into territorial waters
You post to a location you control, then post the link to that to other sites.
That way you own and control the content.
There’s a reason why Meta and Twitter hate external links, it takes people out of their feed
Obligatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/386/ 😀
But more seriously: I do frequent shitty FB forums where newbies ask the same question over and over again. I can just quickly copy-paste my longish and sourced response every time. I’m pretty close to just setting up an Alfred/TextExpand macro for the most common ones 😀
(On a proper forum we could just point them to a FAQ thread, but Meta makes is intentionally hard because ✨engagement✨)
AFAIK there’s a ton of their best anti air stuff parked around Moscow just because of this, they can’t risk the hits they’d take if they move it to the front lines
Putin has no endgame.
There is no timeline where he can step down and live peacefully.
His one in a million is to conquer enough of Ukraine and somehow be allowed to keep it - but that’s not happening unless Donald wins the election.
We don’t need to nuke them even, we can just use conventional munitions to fuck up every military installation they have to rubble.
And chuck a few Tomahawks at Kremlin to be sure
This is a perfect way to weaken Russia for a looong time both militarily and economically.
China will be the next one to do something stupid and a weak Russia is a good thing when it happens
Yep, the last time heads rolled in the USSR it was the babushkas who started it 😀
Optics, everything in Russia must look Correct.
Like how they make laws so that their acts are “legal”. They do write them after the fact sometimes, but there is a law they can point to.
Russia is 100% about optics, what things look like is more important than how they actually are.
The optics for a) losing territory and b) bombing your own territory is not good. A good Tsar never loses ground, a good Tsar increases the size of Russia
The greatest thing about this is that Putin can’t just carpet bomb the areas to rubble like Russia does when attacking.
Or the dangly bits between your legs.
They could investigate Nullo culture 😉
And small corner stores lose money?
If you want to do something, go slash the tires of Coca Cola execs. Or put some sugar in the tank of their private jet
Why would making a mess at a random 7-11 hurt Coca Cola in any way? What is the logic here?
Ask Israel to do it 😉
