I wonder what war looks like in their heads. Is it a fps shooter? A HOI campaign perhaps? Do they seriously believe soldiers just charge at each other?
What is the source of your carnal desire for nuclear annihilation??

Well they do seem on board with shooting corrupt politicians, so I guess theres a foothold there
Thanks for the link 👍
But I am a little concerned that the most popular VPNs rank the highest
Unpopular opinion but I think the acronym should be dropped entirely, its silly as it is. They should come up with some generalizing name of the alliance that would describe all of its members.
And what would prevent paid VPNs from selling data to have even bigger profits? Its all a gamble, be it free VPN or not.
In the end of the day I just want to pay less
Well they usually have a small selection of slower free servers and a lot of faster ones locked behind a premium wall. Does this not substitute as profit for them?
Theres not as much support for USSR or even socialism as you would like to believe. Of course people are not antagonizing it as much as western countries do, but you should also take into account that Russia uses Soviet imagery exclusively as an aesthetic selling point and does not attribute its successes to socialism but rather to the “spirit of the russian people”. Experiences of older people are often dismissed as “grass was greener in my youth” and young people are very much fed distilled anti-soviet propaganda. The great problem with bringing back socialism to Russia lies with general political apathy of the people, getting through it would require rapid and substantial changes of the living standarts, be it good or bad. Best hope lies with China influencing Russian state, otherwise I see no “stumbling into socialism” on Russia’s part without some great disaster to kick off radicalization.
Why not use free VPN? Theres plenty of obscure ones out there.
Your own definition: to steal, carry off, or abduct by force or fraud, especially for use as a hostage or to extract ransom
“Especially” does not mean “only”, it just signifies what kidnapping is most often used for. Using the term is simply not incorrect nor does anybody here assume Ukraine is doing that for extortion. Reaction to these actions will be equally negative even if you used a more “correct” term of forceful recruiting. And Ukraine really is special in that regard, as it frequently quite physically drags off actively and violently resisting people, something the West will not do out of a sheer PR nightmare, instead opting for more subtle ways of persuasion.
Why you are so intent to die on this hill is beyond me.
I wonder when they will be required to wear armbands 🤔
I guess my wording wasnt the best, “widespread” would be more accurate
And liberals are just cool with fascists. Thats it. They dont even have to claim anything, libs will just accept them.
I think weed should be legalized in countries where its usage is a significant problem, but not in places where it did not have much presence to begin with. The problem with addictive substances is that once they take root they are extremely difficult to remove, especially if they have managed to become part of the culture, like in USSR, which put a lot of effort into decreasing alcohol consumption among the people, but only achieved meager results.
