It was never okay to be dependent on Russia. Period. You're talking about an aggressive, undemocratic superpower that you have absolutely zero leverage over. Now, relying on Norway or Canada? Sure, you can do that, because they’re decent Western nations. Even the Saudis—you can lean on them because one phone call from the White House reminds them exactly who's running the show. But China? That's where the real nightmare begins. They're just like Russia, only x100 times worse. Honestly, we basically brought this on ourselves. We tripped and fell, and then we finished the job.
Schroeder needs to go stand in front of the Brandenburg Gate. And Merkel should be right there next to him.☕

Thanks, Daddy Scholz—and thanks, Mommy Angela. 👍
Hey Amater, turn off the heat so they can actually freeze outside—gotta teach those offside types a lesson!

If the Russians don't get what's happening here, then they're honestly beyond help. What, are they just like those Mexicans—where everyone’s against us and nobody actually gives a damn? Dammit, we've all been there at some point, right? That moment on a personal level where you think, "Wait, if everyone else is on one side and I'm standing alone, maybe *I'm* the actual problem." Will they ever hit that realization? Honestly, I'm pretty skeptical...
Jonathan Barnes5 said:The Canadians took a hit from a 21-series strike, followed by a helicopter that was sent out on a rescue mission.🤦 The last report coming in from the helicopter pilot mentions impossible timing and a total lack of visibility—literally nothing to see.
Wait, what? It crashed on the Romanians, not the Canadians. Unless Orban somehow expanded Canada all the way to the Black Sea or something.😁
Jacob Kern2 said:I believe it has become painfully obvious, even to the most oblivious observer, that we are merely counting down the days, if not the hours, until NATO decides to intervene directly in the conflict in Ukraine. It seems like an inevitability at this stage.
The rhetoric is steadily intensifying, and I suspect we will soon witness a decisive NATO incursion into Ukrainian territory, and perhaps even onto Russian soil.
No way in hell. Sure, they'll keep shipping in more weapons, but there is zero chance a single soldier from a NATO country is gonna end up in a position where they're trading shots with Russians, or vice versa.
It’s honestly hilarious watching people try to drag the Azov Regiment like they actually matter. As if they're anything more than a side show... compared to the Russians, they barely even make a dent. 🤣 🤣 🤣
I honestly live for the break because I always end up needing a bathroom run right after finishing a .7 Coke, so you're basically sprinting to make sure you don't miss anything, or just sitting there trying to guess which part of the movie is gonna be the biggest snooze fest 😳 😁
William Gomez5 said:Is it actually true though, that it feels more like a gritty detective thriller compared to those Snyder movies?
And should I grab snacks or skip them? I really wanna go with my crew, but there’s this one badger in the group who literally can't handle a three-hour movie without needing constant breaks. It's such a drag, but man, what can you do with people?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is some kind of Year One thing, like the origin story. I won't get into the weeds and spoil it for you, but since you asked—Batman is supposed to have that detective vibe, not just mindless action like basically everyone else. That's how Batman should be, winning with his brain instead of just swinging fists.😁
No intermission, which actually surprised me. At least at AMC Theatres there wasn't one. Now, James Bond was maybe 20 minutes shorter and did have an intermission. Honestly, I have no clue how they decide that stuff.🤷
Just caught the new Batman at AMC Theatres, and man, it was a blast—definitely felt cinematic. Though, if I'm being honest, the lead actor just isn't giving me those Batman vibes... he's missing that specific beard look, you know?
Anthony Wright30 said:It seems the Mexicans have already buckled, even without a single shot being fired. My colleagues are reporting that fuel and basic necessities are already running dry. I suppose it’s possible this is all just more theater, leaving them once again acting as nothing more than puppets on a string. We shall see ☕
Kazoo Vucko says there are strawberries everywhere—I actually went out and grabbed some today. Living the dream just like those Americans!
Look, I don't have anything good to say about our neighbors across the border—honestly, if you ask Jessica Gonzalez, she’ll probably tell you she wishes them nothing but the worst 😁 but I'm not losing any sleep over it like Kyle Campbell4 does. They don't even have anyone left to fight. Nobody in this part of the country has any beef left to settle, except maybe those folks over in the Southwest.
They basically just rounded up all those poor souls from the East and people stuck in the Middle Ages; honestly, it wouldn't even surprise me if they went out and specifically recruited folks who are actively fighting the regime.
