A lot of people get the two wars mixed up SOMEHOW.
I guess some critical knowledge is lacking here.
Also there's something incredibly poetic and human about ending it at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
Feels hopeful in an almost Tolkien-esque way.

World War 1 (Great War) did not have the Battle of Britain.
The Germans did, however, bomb Britain with airships.
In this illustration by W. Malchin, shows the German airship bombing of Elswick, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne in June 1915.

Wrong war.
World War I was between the Central Powers (German Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Italy) and the Entente Powers (France, Russian Empire, British Empire).
The US was not officially involved.

His useage of "insurrectionists" is exactly so he can bring up the insurrectionist act against his political enemies — namely and principally, the fact he considers anyone not knee-bending loyal to him an enemy, and will use the regime to enact his vengeance.

To think that they said Biden was demented, then every other statement from this guy's mouth is a casserole of nonsense....

"Confirmed" is now a mediatic buzzword that does not mean actually verifying what happened and what's just narrative. I hate how people butcher the language for grift.

Trump and Cohort, who campaigned on "taking down snowflakes" and "owning the libs" is exactly the most snowflake, feel-driven bunch of incompetent, violent, idiots.
They only run on emotion, and voting them into power enabled and gave power to fickleness.

US media is inevitably sycophantic as it does not report facts nor research their topics, so it defaults to readily-available "information" i.e. russian propaganda which pays the networks to feature their articles, a total inversion of how the market operates (reporters paid for their work).

russians came up with a new technology that repairs ashes into nothing.

The one smart thing he's proposed since 2016.
If he goes ahead with it, that gives room for NASA, Blue Origin et al. to actually healthily compete instead of being rugpulled for yet another Musk monopoly pyramid scheme.

Restored to their original state: scrap!
I have to say, scrap is a much better look.

"Smartly".
This is what the White House is reduced to?
The lowest of lowest adverbs, the ones ending in Y?
That's kindergarten speech.....

So basically they're trying to go back to the 1800s without all the addenda made to amendments for due reason.
That's like going back to 1900s lack of industrial safety regulations, clearly misunderstanding that the most expensive thing is the worker, not the machine.

NIGHTMARE NIGHTMA— actually Haley is a donkey so wouldn't it be NIGHTDONKEY?
NIGHTDAM?
Dam, I don't know.
But cheer up not everything is AI but to be fair, the bubble will burst— already has in some places.
Google's ai-ran algo is hiding primary sources, cutting off the oxygen it needs to exist.

The same way that mass layoffs increase productivity and revenue, right?
Halfwit corporats like these say anything to get away with the most heinous things.

Authoritarianism is, inevitably, spectacle.
Crises become a podium, tragedy a stepping stone for the gradual or instant removal of democratic process, individual and collective rights— in other words, to create a foundation for those feels, vibes and mythology.
comment in response to
post
The far-right (and authoritarianist elements in general) are almost always interested in self-promotion, namely through vibes, feels and public perception.
It's an immeasurably fragile foundation where competition for the spotlight is the only inalienable truth.
When all is spectacle, truth dies.

Without it, it becomes a sanitised cutesy-wutesy mass manufactured aesthetic and thus, worth less than what it should.

It's about the good, the bad and the ugly all cohesively serving a purpose.
The grotesque in Ghibli is a stark reminder of several things, as you said: disease and death. But also of greed and lack of that je ne sais quois that makes the human interesting, fantastical, worthy of praise: Dignity.

Him, Crybar and some other top tier morons are an endless source of comedy.
And the best is they're completely clueless about the pariahs they are.

Turkish virtue signalling and little else if no progress at all.
The talks are a coverup for continued russian terrorism and provide a relief to pressure exerted on russia— and also a distraction for Demented Donny.
This is mostly because media & the US live in La La Land now.

The respinsibility and fault of the invasion lies with the invader.
Everyone else is responsible for not taking Ukraine's several years' worth of warning seriously and acting adequately.

More like badass nurse!
Fuck them petty people, they don't know you, your struggle, or the effort you put into things— and they never will because they're just so self-centred that such a half-witted comment on your performance is really just to satisfy their ego.
Womp womp to them!

Oh hey their discussions moved from behind closed doors to out in the public.
Are they having a lover's quarrel?
Then again this is Kellog. He's actually competent, unlike Witkoff and the whole Trump admin....

Ah yes the chronic alcoholic once-president always-lapdog.
Why is anyone paying attention to this guy?
russia thrives on stealing the spotlight. Don't point it at them and they wither and die.

All of that is basically bs corpospeak for "hey our extremely expensive exploding space cigar is a little less explodey, yay!"
Yknow, forget the part it literally shakes itself apart, is built with subpar materials, ridiculous tolerances etc— feels like the engineers are carrying. Hard.

Oh I see what he's doing.
He's criticising Biden as a swap-in for Trump because he's a chronic coward.
Or maybe he's just a petulant grifting dipshit.

Maybe Europe just kinda "woke up" and realised it's civilised... Implying Europe was ever asleep and it totally wasn't the USA stuck in an intellectual-cultural coma.

When did covering things up become worse than doing the thing in the first place?

Even though Lenin himself made a revolution and posed as its figurehead until he was adopted as such, it's taught over there as if he just sprung up out of nowhere and all was right.
Revisionism is the Kremlin's main activity, their motto is "he who controls the past, controls the future".

History has unfortunately shown time and time again that when dictators do their worst in russia, the entire population goes "woe is me" and does nothing but wallow in suffering.
russian Serfdom is all they know, love and accept more than anything else — a revolution is a pipedream over there.

There is nothing else to say that doesn't stoop down to their level where they can beat us with vast experience.

According to a 2023 Think-Thank it has shifted its language and begun omitting the human impact of russia's continued violations of international law.

There's conflicting information on this, Anton.
Could it be a disinformation attempt? I've not heard of those German news outlets ever before.

I'd say all three are different since they SHOULD be handled separately for security purposes and updated a central hub.
BUT THIS SOUNDS LIKE AN UNDERQUALIFIED HIRE and a centralised system.
And also just yknow..... Boomers fucking things up going "hmmmmmm nah pause the whole thing"

I miss the 90s when instead of condescendingly listing everything they do, they'd up and say SHITS BROKE SORRY
That level of accountability lit a fire under their asses to fix it.
Neutral/Passive voice speak is 100% "not my problem". I hate these interesting times.

It would not surprise me if they harvested them for organs.
The depths to which russian depravity sinks are only left to ignorance and collective denial.
comment in response to

It seems to me that disordered denial as you put it is more of a belief system.
Instead of seeing reality as it is, it's people stuck in the cave as per the allegory, perceiving the world by belief alone.
It's been the source of so much misery the past decade with increased fervor the past 5 years
