Most probably just see the Israel Arab conflict as another wing of the same global war that Ukraine is involved in. to Kyiv, Israel is fighting against an amalgamation of terrorist groups and states that are all allied with the aggressor Russia, and some of them are directley aiding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine Iran.

Thus, when you’re being sold out and stabbed in the back every day, you have to resort to ruthless pragmatism, you can be Pro Ukraine, and Anti-Israel, but you should also recognize that the side fighting against Israel, is also fighting against Ukraine.

Ukraine has been dealing with Russian influence and subterfuge in its country on such a scale for centuries that its essentially like a brain parasite, they’ve had to resort to some extreme measures to try to combat this control, there’s no sense in being soft or cautious about it anymore as Russia has launched a full scale war against them and the way their troops and statesmen have behaved, they’ve essentially declared their intent is to exterminate the very idea of the nation.

so when those are the stakes. Ukraine will do a lot of things that seem weird. changing christmas, forcing themselves to stop speaking russian and speak ukrainian, etc. its total war. this is what happens in total war.

the russian orthodox church is also under the direct control of the kremlin, Patriarch Kirill is a KGB gangster like Putin, he just wears a fancy hat, but most of his preaching about god is usually in relation to killing and fighting. its just a state war church at this point.

i mean I get that, but what I was saying was the original purpose of the store became an afterthought.

GOG was good for acquiring and re-releasing OLD GAMES. somewhere along the way they decided they wanted to compete with the big platforms and be “We’re just like them but without DRM”

I haven’t used GOG for years, they allowed me to relive a few of my old adolescence favorites, but stopped being useful to me a long time ago :/

That is literally a bullshit copypaste psyop that Russia regurgitated for over a decade to drum up a false narrative.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_have_you_been_for_eight_years%3F

Unless you’re just a Russian who’s obligated to regurgitate your Nazi state Rhetoric, I’d suggest you educate yourself a little bit on the history of what caused this conflict, the sooner you realize that Russia has been waging probably the largest information war in history in the years leading up to this war.

**Understand one fundemental thing. Russia is a country that is mentally stuck in the 1700s and is obsessed over big lines on maps, speheres of influence, Emprie. It wants these things, It cant have these things without blood. It wont abandon its pursuit of these things. Russia wants America and NATO out of the picture so it can pick on who it wants. Russia has absolutely no chance of defeating NATO in a military conflict. So their only hope in a confrontation is to have the other side tear itself apart internally, everything they’ve done online the past 15 to 20 years has been in pursuit of that end goal. **

the sooner you realize that, you’ll stop making a fool of yourself, doing their work for them by posting the same garbage that they cooked up in a military internet troll farm to aid their tinpot worldview goals. And if you dont, well, dont bother replying with more of your crap to me, because I Have an acute sense for Russian Nazi / Kremlin propaganda. You’re wasting your time.

They released the rest of the kill zone stuff for free

Two wrongs don’t make a right. Whataboutisms are bad and you should feel bad

This is a gross and uneducated understanding of the issues that led to the revolution.

I hate those words by association. thanks Elon

people can dress it in whatever positive or negative light they want over the p*rn issue. the larger issue at hand IMO is that its the government stepping into people’s private lives and telling them how to live. “Your culture is immoral, you need to learn morals and modesty. you are being reprimanded for your immoral behaivor” These views are Considered Immoral by some but perfectly fine by others.

lets call it what it is, its the people who err on the bible thumping side of the fence, trying to enforce their views on the rest of the people.

I’m a supporter of more scrutiny in general when it comes to kids having access to stuff online, (A lot of stuff, not just 18+ things). but that’s obviously the avenue that the Morality Police are trying to take to go after society in general

Florida isn’t even the first. Arkansas has already had the same basic effect.

Remove america from the equation and Russians would still want a sphere of influence and colonies. Imperialism is married to the russian identity

You know I thought it was low effort cringe when I first heard “demacrips and rebloodpicans” in a body count song, but Im starting to like it more by the day

they’ll give a shit once all other options have been exhausted, and people realize the next step is actual shooting war, with the bombs falling on Warsaw, Helsinki, Berlin, etc. When they realize they’re on their last legs before the big one, then they’ll take it seriously.

America is a write off, Regulatory captured by the Russian Federation / Russian Mob, Same thing At the very least until 2026 midterms. Europe is still in denial that its time to switch from butter, to guns. Literally

they dont have the resources for that, either.

even if Nato tucks its tails between its legs and runs away from a winnable confrontation, Russia isn’t taking the whole country, they don’t have the manpower to run an occupation on a territory the size of Texas, with one of the most heavily armed and battle hardened populations on earth.

Russia already signed away any hope of an occupation that didn’t fight them tooth and nail to the death, when they decided to massacre the villages of Bucha , Irpin, and Konotop. The world saw Russia for what it was then, That event “steeled” the resistance. I’m not trying to use hyperbole or sensationalism here, I’m stating that flat out, the Ukrainian people saw that the Russians will murder every single person who doesn’t submit, and they’ve only continued that savage barbarism ever since. Bombing and Murdering people into submission NEVER works. It only gives them a reason to fight.

they weren’t equipped to do an occupation in 2022. they sure as shit are less equipped to do so now. It would be one of the bloodiest insurgencies in history. The Taliban didn’t have Leopards, Javelins, and HIMARs rockets they could put into hiding.

I’d have an easier time laughing at his sad state if I wasn’t already mad that the guy is objectively a traitor and a goon of Vladimir Putin.

Canadian cucks cheering for the idea of “Joining as a state/states” don’t realize Canada’s future would essentially be that of Puerto Rico for decades, Second class citizens, if we could even call them that, full rights and protections wouldnt apply. and thered also be a complete devastation of the land and infrastructure to boot as one nation tries to forcefully assimilate another.

Surrender your Sovereignty and have no representation to own the libs. YEA 'BERTA

I would argue that the world has been a very different place in 2024/2025 than it was the last time around, if for no other reason than we are effectivley 2 or 3 years into an already started Third World War.

(people just dont want to admit it yet because there aren’t nukes flying or major advesaries directley engaged with each other yet… and thats what they associate WW3 with. but make no mistake, we’re there. It’s started, for a while now. We’re basically in the Spanish Civil War / Japanese Invasion of China stages. )

My point here is not to fearmonger but just to say, the world is multitudes more dangerous and inflamed than it ever was at any point between the first trump administration. its a dangerous, **dangerous **fucking time to have a senile geriatric manchild-troll in the whitehouse.

I dont know what we will do, but I know the answer isn’t to just accept it and deal with it, like those foaming at the mouth screaming at Ukraine to just “sign a peace deal” when the terms of that issue is their country permanentley losing its sovereignty. You can’t just roll over and take it. The Nukes thing is effectively a nonstarter here, as it is in Ukraine, because Nuclear proliferation is basically treated as an act of war by the UN sec council . In the view of the nuclear armed, No one is allowed to have Nuclear weapons but them, The days of countries starting nuclear programs and not getting bombed for it are long gone.

If such a thing was to happen, and the US Military didn’t take care of the problem by coup’ing their obviously rogue administration, attacking its own allies. Then I suppose I’ll be a statistic in the insurgency. I have no intention of living as a third class non-citizen in my own home to a foreign power and the traitors who invited them. I dont care if it’s Chinese, Russian, or American.
