All the other fleets have huge fuck off regions they patrol through while the 5th is exclusively stationed to patrol the arabian peninsula, Iran's coast, and the horn of Africa.

At best, it's for the fleet to make guard duty easier with a mobile force on observation duty, at worst we're going to enter a new epoch.

Whispers of rumors that the 5th fleet that's stationed in Bahrain has been deployed to the seas. Whether or not this is a combat deployment or a bout of nuclear chicken brinksmanship, or even fake news will only be known with time.

Looks like Randi Weingarten, the leader of the American Federation of Teachers, and Lee Saunders, the president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees have both quit the DNC.

Unions seem to be separating from the Democrat machine more often than not these days

Ukraine has criticised Polish plans to establish a remembrance day for Poles massacred by Ukrainians during the Second World War.

Massacred by a political minority group of Nazi-collaborating Ukrainian banderite fascists.

Poland’s parliament this week approved a new public holiday on July 11 to commemorate victims of a “genocide” committed by Ukrainian nationalist groups during the conflict.

Ukrainian nationalist groups that worked hand in hand with the nazis.

The date marks what Poles call “Volhynian Bloody Sunday”, when a 1943 operation by Ukrainian death squads killed thousands of civilians in settlements across the Wolyn province, which is mostly now in Ukraine and known as Volyn.

Ukraine’s foreign ministry attacked the move, saying the decision to commemorate what it described as a “so-called genocide” flew in the face of “good neighbourly relations between Ukraine and Poland”.

Hey, key word here: "so-called genocide". What the hell do you call a targeted ethnic extermination campaign then?

“Poles should not look for enemies among Ukrainians, and Ukrainians should not look for enemies among Poles. We have a common enemy – Russia,” it said.

Translation: Poles, stop pushing the historical facts that our national heroes wholesale massacred your people in a bid to appease their nazi handlers as a means to enact the nazi Lebensraum plan, and focus on our enemy instead.

It added: “The path to true reconciliation lies through dialogue, mutual respect and joint work by historians, rather than through unilateral political assessments.”

Translation: a path we spit on because a genocide never happened and if you say otherwise you're spewing Russian propaganda.

Volodymyr Zelensky has commemorated the massacre with the laying of wreaths, but labelling the killings a genocide continues to be a contentious issue between the two countries.

Kind of like how it's a contentious issue between Japan and the rest of the nations in Asia because they won't admit or apologize for the crimes against humanity they perpetrated against everyone. But that's a different story. Anyways back to the current one.

Although Poland has been one of Ukraine’s staunchest backers in its fight against Russia, relations have been strained due to rows over EU policies that favour Ukrainian agriculture.

This has probably been one of the more interesting intra-EU economic dynamics to generally observe in a quaint way to be honest.

Polish farmers have picketed the Ukraine border to protest grain shipments being diverted from the Black Sea through Poland, a move, they say, which undercuts domestic produce. Brussels has also scrapped tariffs on Ukrainian grain, although this duty-free regime is set to end on July 5.

An interesting clash between domestic interests pursuing a more protectionist economic policy in the face of the threat of an economic competitor threatening profit margins.

One survey found over 80 per cent of Poles supported the farmers.

Narol Nawrocki, Poland’s new president, has also struck a more critical tone than his predecessor on support for Ukraine, saying Kyiv should not be admitted to the EU.

Not very familiar with any of his politics or rhetoric, but I'm gonna go on a limb and say economic protectionism undergrirds his political mandate based off of the presentation of information in the prior section.

Though the president’s role is largely ceremonial, he has the power to veto legislation.

Personal note, as a American, I absolutely adore the idea of the separation of the head of State and the head of government and how it leaves a president as largely as a symbolic monarch that can occasionally tell the legislature "no" for arbitrary reasons.

An estimated 100,000 Poles were killed by Ukrainian nationalists during the Second World War in an attempt to ensure that Wolyn did not become part of postwar Poland.

These bandits are the people the current Ukrainian government considers heroes, as a reminder.

The Bloody Sunday attack was planned so that the death squads would surprise as many Poles as possible during the Sunday mass, according to the Second World War Museum in Gdansk.

Barbaric behavior.

Several leading Polish politicians have signalled in the past that acknowledging the massacres as a genocide is a precondition for Poland to support Ukraine’s future EU membership.

Honestly it's such a small thing to ask for.

“We want Ukraine to develop, but we cannot leave unattended a wound that has not healed,” Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, the deputy prime minister, said last year

Literally a small ask, but noooOoOooo~

 

Don't actually start shit please.

So my take

meat takeis that boneless chicken wings are in all ways superior to normal chicken wings.

vegetarian takeFirm tofu is hands down better than all other forms of tofu, tempeh, etc.

And mash potatoes on pizza isn't actually that bad. Just make it a proper pureé instead of smooshing up a baked potato with a spoon and calling it a day.
