    First: Why is that image so tall?

    Second: The pot’s not wrong. I never understood why it matters that the pot’s also black?

    Third: Did Putin get cynically murdered in violation of international law also?
    No? Then I’m not sure this actually applies anyway.

        You’re talking to a guy whose instance is @communick.news. Somehow, I don’t think you’re going to get anything resembling the answer you’re hoping for.

            Lemmy is full of tankies who love to defend Russian and Chinese imperialism by pretending it either doesn’t exist or by following the abuser’s handguide of claiming “you (the west) made me (Russia) have to do it.”

            If you aren’t a tankie, I apologize for initially mislabeling you.

              Not a tankie, just very literal and pedantic. But how does Communick indicate anything?

                A lot of tankies come from communism-focused Lemmy instances like Lemmygrad. My assumption was that the “Commun” in “Communick” was for communism, which would have checked out if you were a tankie.

        Yes, I am.
        But he didn’t start the war by directly targeting and killing Zelenskyy.
        Which would have been analogous to his comment about killing Khamehni.

              Saving this for later, but isn’t this the airport that Russia air assaulted like 7 times and the dudes just kept getting mulched?

                I believe so, yes. They lost a lot of their really top guys in the early days of the war on Hail Mary operations like that.

                Think so! They were just going to pop in and be greeted like heroes!

                Small miscalculation by all of Putin’s yes men

                    Yah, that’s how typical illegal wars are conducted. Fight your way to the leader, then kill the leader, ending the war.

                    That’s very different than tracking the leader for weeks before, and throwing one of the first missiles at his head. It’s like using an assassination to kick off your war.

                    They’re both terrible. But different.

      I thought that the kettle was supposed to be a reflective surface and that the pot was just setting itself?
