The local mood is 100% correct

Not enough of you, unfortunately.

Will he quite a few more by the end of the first week of November. Hey fuck that’s less than a month away!

Europe has been planning for this for a while now. It’s going to suck but once it’s clear the midterms are compromised, Trump can and will throw Ukraine fully under the bus, no more pretense.

It adds up to me…it’s why Putin hasn’t given up (he knows his opportunity is coming), why Trump is not acting like the midterms matter at all, why Europe has been moving to a war footing (Russia has no momentum, so there’s obviously an inflection point coming).

Is it really that hard to believe? I’ve been sure of this for well over a year (midterms being ignored/illegitimate, MAGA taking full power afterward). I really, really hope I’m wrong and will admit my ignorance if I am, but I just don’t see any other logical outcome that doesn’t involve something like a friendly coup or other black swan event

You know what? That’s kind of perfect.

Nobody expects a wet fart. They’re usually a product of a poorly thought out decision. When they happen, they’re embarrassing, hard to clean completely and typically leave a stain. You swear you’ve learned your lesson about trust, but enough time passes and another one finds its way into your drawers.

Just here to say I’m also going to do this! Didn’t really ever think to.

That wasn’t broadcast live, it was leaked

Maybe visit soon while you still have a chance.

Only partly joking. Wouldn’t surprise me one single bit.

You uh…sure about that?

Nothing would make me happier than to see US diesel purchased from Russia go to the bottom of the ocean.

And I’m a fucking environmentalist.

Yeah you got it on the nose

A complete and total throwing of Ukraine under the bus. I cannot believe the Russian interference in US politics is so nakedly obvious and still nothing being done.

Maybe it’s moot as the chaos really starts in just a few weeks. But wow.

Um, no “sir”, I didn’t.

I said I’m not a citizen of your country. You guys live streaming executions does “apply to me”. That’s the world I have to live in

No, not really.

Explain how anything about a batshit crazy fascist government that has openly threatened my sovereignty and borders my country directly “doesn’t apply to me”.

I said that’s a stereotypical American thing to say because it is. It’s OK for you to be part of everyone else’s business, but as soon as it’s the other way around you get chippy.

You elected this clown, twice, as a country. Don’t whine when the rest of the world takes issue.

Stereotypical American response much

I still have free speech where I am, I think I’ll comment on whatever I like.

I believe it’s a bunch of shooters and only a couple of them have real bullets, rest are blanks.

That said, I’ve also heard that people who shoot can tell the difference between blanks and regular bullets?

They don’t give a shit about Islamic terrorism. This is just another push of the Overton window.

If you think this will be the only live streamed execution, you’re in for a bad time.

They’re almost there

Sorry to again burst both your bubbles but I’m not a citizen of your shithole country.

Regardless, I am still definitely making way more of an effort to stop fascism than the average American. But then again that’s not saying much.

Not in the US but agree. You have to, even if you can’t be sure its fair

It’s never going to happen from the general public. Sorry to burst your bubble.

The only hope left is that there are some true Americans left in the military that are able to work together. Hopes not high for that either, as it would have happened by now.
