All that freedom dividend was spent on a lot of US goods… your economy outpaced everyone due to being the country with the industrial capacity to sell.

And the US military is your social security for minorities and economically depressed… all the way up to the MIC.

The US profited most of the whole situation and now you are here to claim you where actually the victim?

Feels more like a shill trying to sow division. How’s the price of butter doing?

Reunion was the only french territory faaaaaaar away I can name. If you have another desolate rock in a far away ocean that would be better.

Counterpoint: the US made bank being the enforcer of the rules based order. But being the most wealthy country in the world is apparently not enough. And to be direct, the US was the one rattling russia’s cage the past 30 years… and now it all escalated you cannot just nope out without consequences.

And in regards to money spent… the us sends weapons… meaning all the money stays in country, adding to the Pentagon budget for new kit. The EU mostly keeps Ukraine afloat financially… so they can pay their soldiers etc…

I feel the EU must have a remote island we can use for people like this. Then again, france could use Reunion for this.

I wonder if we will see these long range systems equipped with several types of child drones… at least one anti radiation against AA and several others for independent targeting.

Maybe moderators should be referred to as caretakers in the fediverse… seems to fit the role much better.

But all that fine money can till then be paid to the shareholders you silly goose.

It’s also waste disposal of the blood, probably needs something special as normal Pfas destruction probably is not setup to include biohazard materials…

Still that pricetag would be insane if per person.

Banzai charges are really back in fashion. Maybe next they will reintroduce a modern version of the ohka

Guarding stuff at sea is actually pretty difficult. But in this case I feel terrorism is warranted. We can agree to disagree on the term used… since we seem to agree it cannot be ignored and stern action is needed.

If they use violence… but just sitting on an intersection can hardly be called violence.

Downplay it all you want, I think it’s pretty serious what they are doing and I think all vessels going in and out of lake NATO should be boarded and inspected and detailed tracked. I’d even go so far to require them to have a black box installed that real time reads out and transmits ship info. Turning off your black box or tampering with it means the ship is sealed and the crew as a whole is charged with a crime of tampering with the box. The crime is added to the law in each of the surrounding NATO countries and carries a hefty fine and seizure of the ship and her cargo. How’s that for political change under threat of violence.

People being frightened is not needed. If it aims to affect political change (which it does) through violence (which it is) it is therefore terrorism.

Why not? Using violence against civilian (infrastructure) to achieve political goals… seems to fit.

Sure you could argue violence… my take would be if you are using an oil tanker to drag a few ton piece of metal with the intent to break stuff… it’s pretty violent.

Yeah I can imagine for some people his work is tainted…

Why though? He is a sack of shit and can rot in hell for all I care… his art can still be enjoyed. Having him take that way means he has even more power.

I would suggest obtaining it in ways that do not give him new money… Like buying books second hand.

I wonder how they are now

Bunch of clowns… fire fighters must think… aw shit here we go again.
