You never lived through the war?

What does that have to do with anything? You're not making any sense.

war vs propaganda

Was the Iraq war propaganda? What about Israel's genocide in Gaza? What are you even talking about?

Because some idiots messed up with everything, Palestine isn't a sovereign state for the last century.

Again not making any sense, but why do you think Palestine isn't a sovereign state?

Most countries don't recognize it in any state.

You... uh... sure about that?

Nowhere, you gotta DIY them. Just like houses and, you know, civilization in general.

So it'll be fine if Russia sets up a puppet government instead of ruling directly? This is a distinction without a difference, but also that is exactly what Israel is doing in Palestine right now.

Russia makes an example for other countries that military imperialism is a viable strategy.

Uh... Because the US didn't already do that? What about Israel? Saudi Arabia? Ethiopia? Russia isn't exactly treading new ground here, except in the fact that the military imperialism is in opposition to rather than service of Western imperial ambitions. Major world actors usually (certainly not always) don't just invade places not because they need an example, but because it's inefficient and bad for business.

I mean, it says "giant" right before it.

threat to the whole world

As much as I hate imperialism generally and colonialism specifically, yeah no. Russia is a threat to its immediate surroundings and a source of mischief in sub-Saharan Africa and that's really it.

In what way is how I dress relevant?

Your answer:

Psychotic symptoms

Could be that it was "bad" enough a doctor thought it could have something to do with the diagnosis.

Imperialism called, it wants its boomerang back.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago

Yes. Signed, the Global South.

The Soviet Union collapsed, if you want an example of how well that went in terms of quashing fascism.

But many more or less okay democracies did spring up due to/as part of its collapse. Sure it sucked for Russia, but Poles and Ukrainians for example are definitely better off.

Fulius, which kind of actually works.

Tones is the word, and while Chinese tones are hard they're just part of the pronunciation of a word rather than anything context dependent. The English equivalent would be the stressed syllable in a word, and yes every language has something like this.
