Don’t get your hopes up. The vast majority of Russians are like the vast majority of conservatives / Republicans in the US. They range from tacitly in favor of authoritarianism to openly supportive of it. Nothing will change in Russia, and even if it did, the aftermath would be exploited by greedy oligarchs and corporations in a repeat of the aftermath of the fall of the USSR. Best to be a realist.

Too bad my family and friends predominantly run the gamut from ‘lit the match walk away’ Trumpers to current supporters. Same with most my friends. Sucks to wake up at 35 and realize you have only a few non-fascist acquaintances and family. And many of them either directly work for the government or are government contractors.

This is a great question. I think the straight answer is No. But as with anything else, I’m sure there are more detailed answers within different disciplines that study the law of armed conflict (LOAC).

There are absolutely substantial differences between unit cultures at echelon and proportion / prevalence of extrajudicial killings. I would hypothesize that once you reach a certain level / echelon / proportion of acceptance or toleration of LOAC violations, these activities exponentially increase as the pirates take over. US Navy SEALs have been fighting this culture war for years.

Letting the pirates (ala Eddie Gallagher) run the ship is never acceptable. Good thing there’s plenty of precedence for this sort of passive toleration to get swept under the rug. Cue “war is hell” “let god sort them out” comments from the brain dead morally bereft Trumpers.

Edit: and yes this is UK and UK SOF but the supporters of such behavior are all the same ilk whether it’s US, UK, AUS etc.

Can you be more specific about what is not doable and what is not doable simply? AutoCAD? Excel?

I switched to DuckDuckGo and have had zero issues I had on Google that would require any additional filters.

Not to mention he sold his company to Google. So he’s as much a contributor as Google itself.

You’re a fool. CPC / CCP did no such thing. Plenty of starving homeless people in China to this day and zero social safety net.

The fact he made 3 stops work is mind boggling.

This is such a true statement. Mormons (and other religious whack jobs) are tailor made to pass a clearance investigation whether or not they’re actual threats or have skeletons in the closet. They have church-issued friends from their local “wards” that vouch for them while barely knowing them that make all their investigations easy.

Right! The fact Dixon is even in position to fight for the win is impressive.
