@houseoftolstoy My question at this point is the potential trade off worth to have to deal with further corruption to move somewhere else to be more quiet. They'll still shake you down, but at least your ethnicity isn't preyed/replaced on directly in perhaps Russia. Plus it is far less gay, but none the less not anymore "Free"

@Mr_Mister On top of this I believe that much of the middle east (aside from geographical issues) are fully willing to Ukraine these smaller islamic nations. They're more than welcome using them as canon fodder to bleed thwir adversary dry and keep it a proxy conflict so they can war on their terms more effectively. Also internally even Saudis and Iran are VERY divided places. Shit will be messy, but states do not want to throw themselves into war just yet; not until someone comes out weak.

@Mr_Mister Dude, Iran is not going to jump into Lebanon. They want another Gaza/proxy conflict. I've said for awhile now that they want Israel to be stuck in and be bled dry in Lebanon. You're not going to get official Iranian involvement; you are going to get a slurry of Israel, Lebanon, Hezbollah, and a slurry of every single last proxy militia group there fighting each other. The whole purpose is to drain Israel's capacity for war. Lots of Muslims do not like or care for one another.

@UncleIroh So he was VERY obvioualy a fed after J6. He was not anywhere in the building, but what happened was he was no fly listed (along with other noteable AF types), had had millions anonymously "donated" to him which glowed, but then the money got frozen by the feds, he went to court suing the gov, then mysteriously & silently got it all back when he randomly brought the subject up when people were shitting on him. At that point he was so obviously a fed.

@Based_Accelerationist @LysanderMooner Except what has been strategically effective? They haven't nominally damaged Russia significantly. The pressure to end the war for military improvement & closure is more important ghan these red light green light issues. Winning faster benrfits them to consolidate & help allies. Simple as. They are being ultra conservative and should go faster to avoid too much attritional issues.

@LysanderMooner I can imagine hard liners are tired of a slow crawl when they're likely capable of more.

@CheshireHuman I just tune out. He's said it before that it is a cope to the current social situation all around the west. Which is fine, but altogether it ain't for me either.

@Justicar Eh Slavic White. Not as good per say and a generally greater corrupt peoples historically, but not all is wholely written away. They will likely be the other half to recover and not live through communism in full again

@Justicar At the end of the day people need something immaterial to believe in. No matter your stance on these broader populations need something beyond them.

@houseoftolstoy For decades Chinese banking has gladly taken its cuts so that the uniparty groupings can wash their money with low tracing through China. Ukraine now is the most blatant example of this, but it is an operation there for more specific interests as opposed to broader banking. China and Russia have and always will have some level of corruption to take these cuts as it is essentially to take free money with the same blame they would have gotten anyways.

@houseoftolstoy I have told everyone in my other circles the same shit, but with China. China certainly does "Some" shit. However, legitimately all that this is through Russia is a money washing operation between western elite structures through corrupt Russian banks in a trade for a cut of foreign currency they can use for other things just to "Wash" IE transact a home of money through these banks. China is famous for doing this as black money operations for politics in the US.
