Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Between this and Saudi Arabia, I can't interpret Biden as anything other than pro-nuclear-proliferation stalin-stressed

[–] the_post_of_tom_joad@hexbear.net 33 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

This jesus freak seriously thinks he is gonna bring on the rapture huh? What does he care, he's dead soon either way.

Senile af and still a bigger fuckin' snake than he's ever been

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago

He's a catholic so he's not even a rapture heretic, he's just evil.

[–] o_d@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

pro-nuclear-proliferation

Abbreviated to pro-proliferation

[–] o_d@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 month ago

pro-proliferation

Or just propro

[–] miz@hexbear.net 59 points 1 month ago (2 children)

this is part of what sparked Russia's SMO in the first place, Zelensky talking shit about getting nukes

Yeah it's fucking annoying that Putin actually did have several causus belli recognized in international law, including the duty to intervene in genocide recognized in international law which literally only Yemen has acted on in Gaza.

I know it's been talked about, but they really forced Biden off the ticket under the pretense of "he's not popular enough", ignoring that at least part of his lack of popularity was attributable to his brain turning to mush, and then they just...let him keep running things?

He's at the point where you shouldn't let him have his own set of car keys any longer

[–] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 36 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i doubt he's running or has run anything. I'm pretty sure the military just keeps doing what they do no matter who is in office. It's just sometimes they have to exert a little more pressure than other times.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago

Yeah. @PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml was saying that opaque leadership structures is a sign of autocracies or something and idk if we have any idea who is actually making decisions for the country now.

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

I've said it before but he's just a shambling undead rubber stamp at this point

[–] CleverOleg@hexbear.net 55 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Two years ago, Gen. Mark A. Milley, then the chief military adviser to President Biden, suggested that neither Russia nor Ukraine could win the war. A negotiated settlement, he argued, was the only route to peace. His remarks caused a furor among senior officials. But President-elect Donald J. Trump’s win is turning General Milley’s prediction into reality.

Incredible framing here, Ukraine is totally on the path to victory it’s just this upcoming Trump presidency that’s forcing a negotiated settlement, sure…

A classic stab in the back myth.

[–] Biggay@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

We could've won Vietnam if it werent for those sissies in the media like Walter Cronkite

[–] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

"Two years ago, the war looked more even. Events continued happening, as they always do, and now Russia is winning. This is clearly because of an event in the future. I am a journalist and I understand causality."

Can't those fucking psychos shut up and take an L on chest just this once?

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 39 points 1 month ago

Seems like the next two months are going to be the most dangerous time in history.

[–] the_post_of_tom_joad@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

When fascists feel the slightest sting of the ol' L-pain in their chests they scream and thrash like it's the first time in their lives, huh? Then they must kill even harder to sate that itchy feeling that they're not in complete control.

Several officials should be strung up from a lamppost and beaten with waffle irons until dead

[–] miz@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago

finally a piñata without all the empty sugar

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you elect me as president i will use the newly granted immunity from crimes powers to carry a vintage tokarev used in the great purge and fucking dome anyone who even breathes an escalation towards nuclear war.

[–] o_d@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 month ago

First noggin recipients gotta be the supreme court justices so that they can't overturn the decision.

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 30 points 1 month ago

The Cold War really broke all the dinosaurs' brains in a deep and irreparable way, huh?

[–] someone@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We really ought to watch Dr. Strangelove on the hextube sometime.

Really hate how media about imminent nuclear annihilation has become relevant again

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I hate the part where frothingfash are screaming for it while wanking themselves in to a blood frenzy.

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Takes a special kind of person to consider the scenario from Threads and think "Yeah that sounds like a good time to me"
