  • Assuming that the referendum will be fair, it would essentially be a referendum on surrender. Would the Ukrainian population vote in favour of this? They’re losing and would benefit immensely from peace but nobody likes being run over by a foreign army, even if your own leaders are pricks and Ukrainian society has been seeping in fascist Endsieg-propaganda since long before the Russian intervention in the civil war.

    And that is assuming that the vote will be fair, which can not be expected.

    If anything, this referendum could end up as a morale booster to the pro-war camp and prolong the suffering rather than the beginning of a peace process.







  • Someone I knew was living in an old building with old-timey fuse boxes placed outside the apartments. When she got tired of her idiot neighbours partying on a weekday night for the millionth time despite being asked to dial it down she finally had enough and went to the fuse box and took away all the fuses to the neighbour’s apartment.

    She never had trouble with noise again.







  • Apart from decommissioning local Nazis to a permanent end during and after WWII, what exactly is it that the three Baltic chihuahuas are accusing the evil communists of doing to them? As far as I know things in the Baltics were normal and peaceful there when they were part of the USSR.

    You never hear anything but vague blanket statements, assuming the ontological evil of the USSR. Is there any concrete acts or practices or policies or events the anti-communist crybabies point to to demonstrate how mean the “Soviet occupation” was to them?





  • I don’t know the details of how the US legal system works but isn’t a plea bargain essentially the same as a settlement in civil cases?

    If so, it should (at least in theory) have very little prejudicial value since the courts did not rule on the question if Assange’s culpability.

    I know that in the real world the US regime once again learned that it can get away with murder and journalists all over the world have already learned the lesson that the evil empire will fuck them up if they air their dirty laundry. But from a legal nerd point of view a settlement should be quite useles as a precedent.
