Russia is so incompetent they couldn’t even defeat just one country in NATO, Poland

How do you know this? What are the winning lottery numbers for tomorrow?

Remember when that Polish minister knelt at the Bandera monument?

Goodbye any fear Europe had of Russia. They can’t defeat Poland much less all of NATO.

I think you’ll find the war is in Ukraine, not Poland. Easy mistake to make for an American.

the gathering of BRICS and other countries this week spotlights a growing convergence of nations who hope to see a shift in the global balance of power and – in the case of some, like Moscow, Beijing and Tehran – directly counter the United States-led West.

Tacit admission the two are one and the same. To shift the global balance of power the United States-led West must be countered.

But despite Russia’s sweeping rhetoric, the leaders meeting in Kazan have a wide range of viewpoints and interests – a reality of BRICS that observers say limits their ability to send a unified message – especially the kind Putin may desire

Democracy? That’s actually a bad thing, sweetie.

I only saw that it said “middle east” after I had written my post. Pretty sure Obama killed innocent civilians outside of the Middle East too.

You could probably do this for decades of every US president. s uninterrupted

The Waffle House Index is just one comical fruit on that shitty project.

I wouldn’t dismiss it so quickly. The term “Waffle House Index” was coined by the then future-administrator of FEMA.

“It’s an informal relationship,” Philip Strouse, FEMA’s Private Sector Liaison, told Yahoo Finance. “Waffle House stays on when the wind’s blowing—they never close. They have a small footprint, they’re easy, and if these little stores are going out when it only takes a few people to staff…that’s bad.”

According to Strouse, the very unofficial index all started when FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate was director of the Florida Emergency Management Division. Noticing Waffle House’s incredible resilience in the face of natural disaster, Fugate coined the index in May 2011 after the Joplin, Mo., tornado. “He was saying if the Waffle House closes, it’s really bad and you know to go to work there first.” So when he came to FEMA in 2009, Fugate brought his barometer to the new position.

Many people misunderstand how the index works, however—a fact that’s partially represented by the response to that Waffle House tweet on Wednesday and articles like this. As an emergency management agency, FEMA handles the aftermath more than the run-up, funneling federal assets to damaged areas that need it most. “We really support the state and the state supports the local community,” said Strouse.

This means you should pay closer attention to the index post-hurricane. “The index was for aftermath, for damage assessments,” said Strouse. The chain’s ability to function on essentially nothing also makes it a prime location for first responders, who know they can get something to eat—almost no matter what.

Look into things even especially if they sound silly or ridiculous. :)

Also it seems to indicate mistrust in the “simple facts” that even agencies like FEMA or NOAA get right (for the most part).

The US government botched the Katrina response, people were left for over a month to fend for themselves in a post-apocalyptic landscape. Many people haven’t forgotten that. I was gonna write I’m sure they learned, but it’s America, whether they learned from it or not is a coin flip.

“Yer a communist, Harry!”

• “I’m a wot?”

“A communist! A pinko, a red, a fellow traveller, a commie!”

…

“A car crash killed James and Lily?! Preposterous! An outrage, a scandal! Your parents were killed by the CIA, Harry.”

It’s crazy how they found a way to sell toys little useless plastic things to adults. Capitalism is all about expanding the markets and finding new consumers, like how they found a way to market cigarettes to children.

Edited toys out because actual toys one can play with can be cool.

I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away,
and she’s gone to get a hit
She hates her life,
and what she’s done to it
There’s one more kid
that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love,
never get to be cool.

TAKE THAT RUSSIA!

Oh right. I was misunderstanding everything yesterday. One of those days…

I didn’t see the loop.

oh shit.

If you believe that, then the Democrats’ propaganda is working. Biden didn’t close the ICE centres or stopped family separation at the border. Obama bombed civilians in Muslim countries and didn’t close Guantanamo bay.

The two parties are exactly the same, except the Democrats pretend like they don’t do those things.

Are you asking about coherence and reason in the narrative? What are you, a Russian bot?

Where? In the country where they took Jack Ma’s company away from him? In the country where a CPC representative has to sit on the board of directors of every company? In the country where the punishment for embezzling millions is death?

The existence of wealthy people does not mean those wealthy people have control. They have easy lives, riches, opportunities, sure, but they don’t have to have influence in how the country is run.

Never held a hammer in their life…

“The Capital” or “Capital” is ambiguous. When you write “Das Kapital” everyone knows what you mean.

The US needs an enemy cause its defense industry is propping the country and economy up.

Most welfare recipients in the US have a job. “Welfare means you don’t have a job” is myth perpetuated by those who’d like to see welfare programs cut.
