Ukraine Conflict - Das Himmelfahrtskommando
Malcador replied to Mamoulian War's topic in Way Off-Topic
Sorry, I meant in terms of how they operate with other nations, was the context of this. Externally, all situations they have to have self interest as their highest goal and they're likely to do whatever they want regardless of if it's "immoral" or not to the average person. Churchill (ok, pardon the source...) has a good quote on that - "The whole history of the world is summed up in the fact that, when nations are strong, they are not always just, and when they wish to be just, they are no longer strong." . In any event not much harm done being cynical towards a state's motivations, heh. I didn't say Trudaeu was silly or misinformed, though, why do you say he is ? -

Well to conclude it perhaps, but is reasonable to assume it. States are run like and by sociopaths. The US' "failures" and "dark side" as you put it is the reason people distrust their involvement in things (more so if their nation was receipt of US actions, I've experienced) and it depends on who the potential target is - if they are involved with Russian affairs it's going to be different than their involvement with Canadian ones (where they just **** us over ). But yes, anti-American, etc. etc. Not even sure what the outcome of WW1 would have been had the "bad guys" won, well other than a different kind of WW2 later I will hazard a WAG at. -

Doesn't really seem that unreasonable, if you look at the country's track record. Also the US is a superpower, the game demands it screw with strategic rivals as they do to it, no ? -

Not quite sure some dude on Twitter is really worth including in military history. -

Nothing prevents Ukraine from getting armed and trained with the US gear that needs it. -
Wot I bought last - a fool and their money mystary edition
Malcador replied to ShadySands's topic in Computer and Console
See, that's why you need to be emotionally dead like me! But nah I don't think the game's writing is all that comparable to DE. It's a fun game, I wish there were more investigations to do as they are fun puzzles - the Farmville area was amusing to play through. The "twist" is quite predictable, but not sure that is a mark against it. -
The typos and overlapping text aside, is an interesting presentation. good use of HOI music

Is like a discount Disco Elysium. I'd say it's worth $18 USD. Farming Simulator 22 is on sale too...I may get that. -

What are you Playing Now? Who needs a life anyway?...

Decided to learn how to play HOI4, so will spend time on that and hopefully avoid the PDX DLC trap. -

https://www.wsj.com/articles/roman-abramovich-and-ukrainian-peace-negotiators-suffer-symptoms-of-suspected-poisoning-11648480493 Seems a strange thing to do. -
Here's hoping Flick can redeem the team after 2018.

Yes but if you link a Mail article, you are going to have to rely on everyone to assume you've done that much diligence for some reason. I try to not lead out with stuff that sounds like FOAF, well ok other than Twitter posts of people that don't seem like liars. -

It's not really that subjective that the Mail lies/exaggerates to the point you really shouldn't rely on them for more than noting they said something that you can look on to see the real story. Have you ever read the paper on a consistent basis ? Definitely worse than reading the NYT, Guardian or BBC. -

The "information" provided may be outright lies, though. If it's a British tabloid, likelihood goes up, same with any paper called Pravda https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/03/21/michael-kofman-russia-military-expert-00018906 Old, but is an interesting interview with Kofman. -
Well, damn I missed it. Canada qualified sadly, hopefully they get smoked.

Probably not, if covered at all it will be there but with their reminding everyone Russia did it as well or first. -
