A shame we missed the catch, but it’s always cool to see big fiery explosions

Would you rather have no half life game come out? That’s the alternative. It’s been a full 20 years since Half Life 2 so it would have been dead otherwise. Half Life Alyx is a really good game.

I’m not sure if this is supposed to be hilarious or horrifying. I think it’s a little both

My noncredible prediction: Elon Musk as Secretary of State

He’s been married a number of times and he’s cheated even more times. Can’t say for certain what the last one is, but he’s been in Epstein’s circles

Nobody would be a fan of my little pony in 1998, and I don’t know who could grow a beard at 16, but it certainly wasn’t anyone I knew Though there’s certainly acne

The genocide is only going to get worse. Though genocide don doesn’t have as much of a ring to it. Donny and Benny are best buds

I think you wildly overestimate how powerful the CIA actually is. They’re barely can understand South American politics, much less control all of Europe.

Blaming the CIA is about as productive as McCarthy blaming communists in the 50s

That sword cuts both ways. The F-35 has parts from all over the US and EU. This doesn’t extend to every weapon system, but if the US refuses to support F-35s, their own F-35s would lose support too.

Tell this to an Estonian or a Pole or a Lithuanian and they’ll punch you. You might not know this, but Russia has been working on a cassus belli (A reason for war) against all those countries. You can read national defense strategies on each of those countries to see what they are concerned about.

C’est faux. France is one of the founding members of NATO, however for much of the time it was under a French Command instead of a combined command.

The Baltic states certainly think so. Their entire defense posture relies on it

That decision to make it linked to the PSN is so bizarre seeing as I can literally play that game on PC already

Racist comments against Asians

This diagram looks so familiar, and yet so… interesting

It’s in my to do list to buy

To their credit, they’re addressing it.

This is what complacency gets you in war. Your warehouses blown up.

Credit to Ukraine for their recent successes in strategic bombing

Removed from blahj.zone? I didn’t think they had reach there

One minute you’re there. In your own flock. You talk to the sheep next to you. Her name is Bertha. Bertha isn’t like all the other sheep. She’s got a raspy deep voice like she smoked 32 packs of cigarettes every day. Bertha smiles at you sheepishly and looks at you. For some reason you feel like you’re herded towards Bertha. That night out in the field, you meet Bertha up on the hill while all the other sheep are asleep. Suddenly, Bertha brushes up next to you and gives you a kiss. You feel yourself blush, taken back by Bertha’s forwardness. She says that she has a place for the two of you to go. Bertha opens the gate and leads you out with her. The gate swings shut and you wonder how you managed to follow this sheep that you just met. Bertha leads you to the bar and orders you a drink. Bertha however takes off her disguise. She’s actually a shepherd dog. Even more taken back, Bertha tells you “Confession time, Mona - I’ve led you astray”. The Shepard hangs her head low You see the sadness in her eyes. It’s such a scandalous thing for a Shepard dog to fall in love with a sheep. “I-I don’t know what to say Bertha!” You stammer as Bertha looks into your eyes. You feel your cheeks flush as she gazes at you. The bartender looks up at the two of you and asks if you need anything. “Is it possible that we can stay the night here?” You say. You immediately regret it, but the words already came out of your mouth. The bartender points up the stairs and says in a gruff voice. “Don’t make too much noise” Bertha pays the bartender and you go up to the room as if enchanted by a magic spell
