Bill Clinton has some gall to complain about Russia moving away from democracy after what he did to meddle in their election on behalf of Yeltsin.

[@howilearned2stopworrying508]

I curious why Clinton can't at least point out how Bush stole the election in 2000 and then opened the door to unilateral military action by invading Iraq despite the objection of NATO allies. But despite being golf buddies with Trump Clinton is too cucked by decorum to even attempt such an argument.

[@blackdog9698919]

All he's doing is ensuring his legacy is preserved as the president who saved Russia and the world from communism. I'm assuming he'll get his wish, even though he should be remembered as just another rapist warmongering capitalist monster in a long line of rapist warmongering capitalist monsters who made the world a measurably worse place through his lifetime of evil actions.

[@Some_Average_Joe]

I like how the democrats needed an "expert" to explain that they have to do something that positively changes the material conditions of a key voter group to keep that group voting democrat. And then promptly buried that advice in obfuscating language to convince everyone that the only thing they can do is continue doing nothing. Like seriously, 90% of that article was talking about that guy and not what he was actually saying. They build him up as this expert on young people who's advice should be taken as gospel truth. And what's one of the things he says? If you want to get youth votes, cancel student debt. And I mean, that's pretty solid advice, that they will ignore.

[@samsca8529]

Yeah honestly it was fun hearing them trash the guy as an out of touch how-do-you-do-fellow-kids type, but he actually does seem genuine in his attempt to reach out to young people and he was right about student loans.

It's kind of a US-centric lie we tell ourselves that Japan and S. Korea have such amazingly high suicide rates and we're doing fine. If you look at the actual numbers, we're right in the middle of all the countries you'd expect to have high suicide rates for economic/war reasons at #31, and Japan's #49, South Korea #12. Yep, so we're doing better than S. Korea at least, but not even better than Japan which we have famously brand-identified with suicide/overwork.

Fun fact about chernobyl, ever since the containmemt structure was built around the site, every so ofter they observed a jump in energy. Its believed theres water reflecting radation up, giving these distressing readings everytime they show up. This is just verbatium from what ive heard so its more or less hearsay. But im fairly positive that what ive said is as close to what ive seen and read. More or less something is reflecting radiation from the elephants foot upwards which bounces further in the containment area. But yeah also low key in chernobyl there are still highly active, radioactive, materials scattered all around the area ever since the reactor went boom. Its why you need a gieger counter for every square inch of that place because the radiation on those materials are still extremely hot. Either way chernobyl has shown spikes in radiation for the past 20 years which always flatten out after a hour in addition being surrounded by rocks the size of your palm thatll give you cancer in about an hour

[@FionaOfMountLawley]

The question is a little difficult because the last full census was conducted in 2001. At that time people who identified themselves as ethnically Russian or formed that part of those born outside of Ukraine who were born in Russian Federation/CIS territories amounted to 8,334,100 out of 48,457,100 (17.3%) of the total population of Ukraine. There is a figure out there suggesting that the percentage is 22.1%, but this figure is derived from an earlier census in 1989.

It's not a "failure of a policy of expansion and provocation", it's the successful achievement of the goal of that policy of NATO expansion and provocation of Russia. It just so happens that the US officials running that policy completely underestimated Russian military competence and the strength of the Russian economy, especially against sanctions, and overestimated the ability of NATO to mount a credible conventional deterrent to a powerful modern conventional army in Europe after decades of wasting trillions of dollars on boondoggles and weapon systems for murdering civilians in US occupied territories who have no air power or heavy weapons of their own whatever. So like in Syria, the US's barbarous extremist proxies who love selfying themselves stabbing helpless people to death and carrying out false flag chemical leaks are going to get methodically wiped out with minimal Russian soldiers or aircrew casualties, using the same tactics of strategic mobility and flexibility, lavish human and satellite intelligence, continuous local negotiation, humanitarian corridors and one very careful seige like the one just finishing up in Mariupol after another until no organised fascist force is left. The many Stalingrad battles the Ukrainian forces have been trained to fight by NATO are going to be denied to them in favour of kettling them and letting them run out of ammunition, supplies and hope, and like we see, the Russians are able to do it all with less than a tenth of their army and far fewer troops in country that Ukraine had at the beginning of the Special Operation.

You’re wonton disregard for paragraphs has been duly noted 🥟📜🧐🤔

[@fourthwall2533]

Even lurking in pro Russian telegrams I haven’t seen anyone with such a a bastardized picture of developments in Ukraine. If the Russians were doing so well they wouldn’t have pulled back into the East. The idea that the move towards Kiev was a feint is ridiculous considering the sheer amount of men and material allocated for it. Additionally they brought rosgvardia units with them who are not meant for combat duties and were meant to be used as riot police once Kiev was captured. The fact that these units were present and sucked into frontline combat is indicative of the strategic failures occurring at all levels of the Russian armed forces. Also, the fact that we’ve seen such a limited number of sorties flown by the VKS and failure to achieve decisive air superiority after over 40 days of conflict is an embarrassment. Even Russian propaganda videos from the conflict are showing strike aircraft take off armed only with dumb bombs. Where are the HARMs and other PGMs to destroy anti air assets? Why are Russian pilots striking coordinates and navigating by civilian GPS as evidenced by videos released by the Russian federation themselves? The breakdown in strategy and communication is simply mind boggling. If you’d like to see evidence of Russian casualties you just have to open your eyes, there are swathes of T-80 and T-72 models used exclusively by Russia that can be identified through specific upgrade packages and can be seen littering roadways in Ukraine. Sure, the Ukrainians are fighting their own propaganda war but you can’t spray paint a Z on a tank you lost and claim it was Russian when you don’t own that model in the first place. Put down the kill-aid for a second, you’ve chugged enough to become diabetic.
