I really should’ve started breeding face-eating leopards. If Trump wins, the demand is going to eclipse the supply for a good few years.

“Liberated regions”
“No NATO”
“What hated nazis they are in east and Odessa”
“Russia is only side in this war that has ever offered reasonable peace”

How many rubles are they paying you to write this? If it’s more than zero, they’re overpaying. Nothing says subtle social media propaganda campaign like using Russian talking points.

Trump doesn’t want peace. He’s a narcissistic wannabe oligarch who licks the boots and sucks the toes of people he perceives as powerful.

Whatever momentary “peace” comes out of his hypothetical second term is a consequence of dropping any and all support for Ukraine and backing away from defense treaties. He can and will give a plausibly-deniable green light for Russia to do whatever they see fit to “end” the war and annex neighboring countries. That’s not peace—that’s the setup for decades of violent revolutions with even more violent responses.

Russia is only side in this war that has ever offered reasonable peace.

Right, so: if I mugged someone and stabbed them, then offered to not stab them again if they let me keep their wallet and threw in their car keys as well, that’s peace?

Trump may win election because he is more progressive on Ukraine.

More “progressive” by… giving Putin what he asks for?

If Trump wins, Ukraine can both say goodbye to any support from the US and watch as Trump lifts sanctions against Russia and turns a blind eye to any arms manufacturers that want to make a quick buck by selling to both sides.

Usually, the people here complaining about democracy are tankies. Sorry, I had you miscategorized.

I’m somewhat looking forward to seeing the outcome when the resident tankies come across this guy. It’s going to be an entertaining shitshow.

This is refreshingly wholesome for political news. No bullshit or partisan politics here, just people being human and enjoying some entertainment.

An unknown and probably pitiful fraction of $336, by the looks of it.

$336 of mechanical royalties going to the publisher, who pays the songwriter

… and China and Russia solved all these problems and more with their not-communist flavors of communism, right?

Nah, just a guy that read the entire comment tree.

While I agree with you that there’s a very very high likelihood of the conversation being recorded in some form or another and likely through a side channel, I feel that your “my sweet child… do you not think the NSA can break encryption” comment to be both condescending to the person you replied to, and hypocritical to the comment I replied to.

Neither you nor I are cryptographers. We can’t attest to the security or lack thereof of published cryptographic algorithms.
