that russia isn’t completely walled off from the rest of the world is a travesty.

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 days ago (3 children)

The fact that America still exists is a shame for humanity. Genocide, slavery, illegal wars, genocide.

One thing is more true.

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (11 children)

Yeah, just like Russia.

Too bad both countries are huge.

"Gun stash" = two handguns and ammunition.

I know guys who have more guns than that in their sock drawer.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 44 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Lol it’s still a gun stash. Why we Americans think a “gun stash” has to be a John Wick roomful of guns, ammo, and other weaponry to qualify as a “stash” is nuts.

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 days ago (4 children)

You think the Russian government is plotting the destruction of Germany with 2 handguns?

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I have no idea how you pulled that direction out of my statement.

That said:

WW1 was started with the killing of one man.

So if you don’t think you can cause a shift of national politics with the well-placed death of one individual you’re naive.

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

WWI kicked off with the murder of one man, that doesn't mean it wasn't already a powder keg.

That being said, you don't see this as a massive reach for finding 2 handguns in the woods?

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Good thing we aren't facing a powderkeg of WWIII.

Wait a minute! We fucking are already there.

That being said, I suppose having terrorists in your country planning murders is not a big deal if the CIA is going out every week around the world with a kill list. Modern life yo.

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago

100%.

WWIII will be started by America and/or Israel. I think it's obvious to anybody with any kind of political awareness at all.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I have no idea what you’re after. You’re asking for absolutes in a world with far too few of them.

No, but it may be planning the assassination of one or more dissidents or people involved in supporting the Ukrainian defence effort, or perhaps some unrelated provocation designed to influence the coming elections. And this stash is unlikely to be everything they have in the country.

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago

And the proof it has anything to do with Russia?

[–] AuTo@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

A single bullet led to 22 million dead.

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago

Kind of? Like I said it was a powder keg waiting to explode.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago (3 children)

They usually go after their own people

Same reason that the quintessential American expects a large fast food meal to still (they don't anymore) map out to a huge portion of food.

Same reason Big Gulps are cheap.

And so it goes.

That's what they (we) were sold.

[–] blackberry28@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

Found the US-American lol

'Murica brain.

How much forest land does Germany have?? Every time I hear something shady about the country, it seems to be happening in their forests.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 26 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Germany is famous for it's black forests

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

How ironic...

And their... You know... The tree cutting thing, with a blade... Not the saw, the other one...

[–] SavinDWhales@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Oh, I know! The thing. Strong enough to cut through anything.

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Two handguns? No evidence it had anything to do with Russia? Lmfao wtf

[–] AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah there seems to be zero evidence for that assertion only speculation.

But the warmongering and hysteria is really reaching a boiling point it seems. They need it for Nato 3.0 5% of GDP for the new privatized military military complex. Fuck yeah we want the total war lol.

Really reminds me of that Star Wars scene: "So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause". Neoliberals literally digging their own grave.

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Unfortunately that scene lives in my head as well, lol. Neoliberals will cheer for fucking anything as long as the elite tell them it's good for the economy, lol.

[–] AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah. When I was looking up that quote I thought it was "democracy dies" and was worried it wouldn't really fit, but luckily it said "liberty" lol. Comrade Lucas was really prescient!

[–] moldy_rice@piefed.keyboardvagabond.com 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Jesus that's bad.

The only ones worse then the Russians are the US Americans and the Israelis.

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 6 points 3 days ago

Fortunately, they all seem to be working together so we can hate them together as well.
