amerikkka-clap: “Time to fight against Russia, we will no longer trade freely with them.”

marx-doomer: “Cool, does that mean we’ll see some jobs brought over here for us to work at?”

amerikkka-clap: “Don’t be silly, it’s MY reserve army of labor to sit on and do nothing with!”

shadow fleet

it's not a shadow fleet you damned nazis it's ships you forced russia to buy outside the banking system the west is able to track them with

this is 100% an own goal and they just pretend like russia did it to the west

Good.

Everytime they do this a nato country has an energy crisis and a new third world country gets a new very reasonably priced supply of oil.

Now if the Europeans could stop reacting to those energy crisis by electing people who want to power their homes by pressing immigrants into oil we'd be all set.

I love how english is so jokerfied that the word "sanction" has two definitions that are literally the opposite of each other

"Alright scamps, you got me, sanction package 14 was my red line. Go on I'll surrender then" putin-wink

Why do I so often get the feeling that most sanctions on Russia are carefully chosen to benefit certain western oligarchs?

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Because they are. I mean first few packages were likely aimed at both Russia and enriching west oligarchs, but after 13 didn't worked against Russia, the reason they keep doing it simply must be the other aim.

National loyalties are for chumps and the stewards of international capital know it and act accordingly

After ww2 Germany should've been abolished. Stalin had too much humanity and wasn't able to make the hard but necessary decision to push on past Berlin.

Edit: I can relate. I'm a softy and would've done the same thing.

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)

When WW2 ended the unification of Germany was still in living memory. It would’ve been so reasonable to split it up. Like not into West and East Germany but into multiple actual separate states.

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

Can we keep East Germany tho soviet-bottom

Yeah you Nazi-assisting genocidal maniac, go fund some more genocide in “Israel”

"Shadow fleet" sounds sick as hell.

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 27 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Those first 13 didn't go far enough.. this one... this one is gonna do the trick.

As is typical for bourgeois Germans, the otherwise exhaustively documented history of the Albrecht family has a mysterious gap between 1936 and 1945

Lmao

The way people talk about Monty Python, for some reason I just feel like this would be a skit they make

Sanctions work. On the working-class population. NATO sanctions are literally just collective punishment that is meant to hurt poor people.
