You mean my friend who was only ever in stationed in Texas?

There certainly exists Russian military personnel that did not serve outside Russia. I bet you would not consider them as innocent as your friend.

Yeah you sure are good at determining my ‘stupid games’, you really got me there buddy. At least I know what to tag you.

Tag me a Russian shillbot if it makes you feel better.

Let’s see, last time I checked Russia was releasing violent criminals to fight in Ukraine. You go ahead and find me a modern comparison from the U.S., I’ll wait.

I don’t have to play your stupid games. The vast majority of Russian soldiers are/were not convicts but either people who voluntarily joined their country’s army to make a living like your friend did or civilians who were drafted/conscripted. Most of them also did not kill or rape anyone like your friend. They probably would say they swept snow in a snowstorm instead.

Yet they still enable Russia’s attack on Ukraine. So did your friend with regards to USA’s attacks on Iraq, Afghanistan etc. Your friend is not better than them because he is your friend nor because he is American.

Easily proven true by endless apologia for US military members. When Russians do it, the are orc, when Americans do it, they were poor and needed healthcare.

He is a glorified clerk not a boss. NATO exists at the pleasure of it’s members.

Arch is not begginer friendly and has a very hands on install experience.

Probably Ubuntu but Linux mint which is based on that would be even better.

Nope and neither is Ubuntu

Anytime, now.

Did they ran out somehow?

Yeah, I should probably switch home instances again, it didn’t use to defed hexbear when I joined.

A huge minus of reddit was the heavy skew in politics to the right due to US influence.

I am obviously not going to switch away from Lemmy because there are communists here. That’s without knowing that piefed by default defederates communities for being communist.

Just like their support for free speech.

There is a two dimensional racist dynamic in Europe. As you go East and South you are considered less European/“White” by the people North/West-wards.

So what? He will invade Greenland, get voted out and everything will turn back to normal? Because you disapproved of said actions?

Perhaps, perhaps they will fucking bomb them instead, or simply find more meatheads, some arrogant enough to attack anyways.

An organized effort by the state will not be stopped by random acts of heroism. There must some kind of organized resistance. Perhaps actions that would be classified as terrorism and I 'd rather not get more into it or I 'll probably get banned from .world.

I am amused by you playing dumb to avoid answering the question. It’s not about a specific event.

Do you think Italy (hosts) or IOC (organizers) should deny participation to US athletes due to USA’s invasion of Venezuela? Do you think China back in 2008 (or again the IOC) should have refused USA’s athletes due to the USA’s occupation of Iraq?

If not why not?

Is invading a country only an issue at European competitions? Not the Olympics?

Let’s do get in “whataboutism” aka consistency aka non hypocrisy. What about the USA now with Venezuela or if they invade Greenland? During their decade long occupation of Iraq?

What is your excuse for that? The US is also the next biggest offender in Olympics doping after Russia.

Even if the quote was not just about the overwhelming part, publishing a straight quote does not get you off the hook when it’s straight up lies. You should point out the quote is false.

Do they have him in custody?
