It really is like the wild west out here

Sure, attack my intelligence and curiosity rather than the argument that only an aggressive nation has anything to fear from a defensive alliance.
Nope, sorry, I am still not having it. The Russians are the only ones jeopardising peace in the region. NATO is a defensive pact. If Russia didn't invade their neighbours, they would have nothing to fear from NATO. You are still apologising for Russian aggression and blaming its cause on the west, even if you're trying to say it in an intellectual way or "both sides" it.
... Albert Einstein.
just joking, it was Descartes.
it's really easy, I spun up my own instance in a morning. Ok, I am a sysadmin and programmer, but it really wasn't very difficult and didn't require much beyond creating a VPS and DNS entry along with basic abilities at the command line to use the ansible playbook.
Could we be refusing to accept it as truth because it isn't true? In what way has the US destabilised Ukraine? How did the US make Russia invade Ukraine? I can't find a way to make either of these statements make any sense at all. I'm British FYI and we have our own bone to pick with the Russians.
It feels strange, this argument that we (the western world) made Russia invade another country and rape children. If only Russia didn't have to invade another country and rape their women and children! If only! But we made Russia do it by talking to that country about joining a defensive pact against another country invading them and raping their women and children. I mean, Russia had to immediately invade and start raping, right? Because Ukraine were going to join some other countries who would come to their aid if Russia were to invade and start raping. Where would Russia be if they couldn't just invade countries and start raping women and children, right?
What the absolute fuck is wrong with people like you? What Russia has done is indefensible, so fucking stop it?
You all seem to be starting from the basis that downloading a torrent is illegal. It is not, it is only distribution/upload that's an issue. If you behave as a leech and kill it after you're done the worst you're going to get is a complaining letter from your ISP.
I torrent without a VPN and haven't had a single email from my ISP, but I presume it's because I'm a business customer.
do you need to stay in a tent for 5 days to get your butthole tattooed?
Pfff, all the cool kids were on DALnet
Why take any risk at all?
Indeed, it's not like it was to be the first time anyone had seen the wreck, I'd be quite happy to watch a video of it on the surface thanks.
It’s also awful that tens of millions of Americans can’t afford to go to a doctor, but I don’t see you calling for us to spend less on war in order to bolster the welfare of our own people.
Yes, it's such a shame that countries can't fund two things at the same time. 🙄
While that's true, those weapons are currently under the control of a fascist government and increasingly desperate despot, so I don't see how them being in the hands of mercs is any worse. At least you know what mercs are motivated by.
