It hit an Ukrainian space (ie. missiles) factory in Dnepropetrovsk.

AFAIK that’s in the ballpark of how normal countries punish serious crime. It’s just the United States that hands out these insanely long prison sentences.

A record number of poverty-stricken Danish families has applied for financial aid for the upcoming holiday season from private humanitarian organisations this year. The charity Blue Cross reports having received 15.5 percent more applications compared to last year for their donations of USD 100 gift certificates to supermarket chain Lidl.

The cost of living crisis hits hardest among the poorest whose already meagre pensions and benefits are not being adjusted sufficiently.

Another tragic waste of a good moustache

So, the yanks put on a fake Ukrainian moustache and attacked Russian territory with ATACMS missiles in clear violation of russian red lines. Then the British put on another fake Ukrainian moustache and attacked a Russian presidential command bunker with Storm Shadow missiles.

Then Russia responded by firing an ICBM against an Ukrainian arms manufacturing plant in Dnepropetrovsk (the first time in military history that an ICBM has been fired in anger?). Ukrainian air defences were unable to stop the ICBM.

I saw some westoid “expert” say that firing the ICBM was “irresponsible” since it could have scared the yanks into a nuclear exchange. That might be but I think this sends a very clear message to the west. I hope they get it.

I wonder what other messages Russia has prepared.

Two headlines from the website of centre-lib mainstream state media DR:

• The ICC issues arrest warrant for “Israel’s” prime minister
• The terror organisation Hamas applauds arrest warrant

I fucking hate western journalism

Edit: In one of their news updates these spineless slimeballs writes that the arrest warrant is likely to “complicate the efforts to negotiate a ceasefire to end the 13 month long conflict”.

Realpolitik, basically. Great powers will not accept to be bound by decisions made by others and they’re too big to be strongarmed into compliance. If you want them in, which you do if you want the UN to be legitimate and to be a forum for diplomacy, you have to recognise this reality.

The League of Nations did not have a veto which is part of the reason why the US never joined and why Nazi Germany and imperial Japan left. This made the organisation even more toothless than the UN.

Or the yanks did it to punish Germany for making the phone call

Meanwhile, the most moral democracy on the west’s nice list can brutally murder a six figure number of children and the terf islanders are fine with it.

I think they all deserve eachother

You haven’t really lost a Venezuelan election before the yanks declare you the winner.

I’m just here to say it’s exactly the same for me.

They usually do very well when playing little league teams though

“Beans on toast” is a classic English sandwich.

The woke is coming from inside the house.

In two election cycles’ time the libs will have rehabilitated Trump completely.

Yup. The western elite is so used to always getting their way and so high on their own propaganda that they have forgotten why and how to do diplomacy. They must seriously think that diplomacy is when the global south surrenders to the west but everyone is wearing a suit and tie as they do so.

If nothing else, a leader who considers himself to be a “deal artist” might at least consider diplomacy before pushing the big war button.

The thing speaking against a forceful Russian response to an American attack is how the war is going. Like all the other Wunderwaffe, ATACMS is not able to conjure away the disparities in manpower and and military industrial capacity. An American missile attack would be a nuisance but it would not fundamentally be able to give the Kiev regime the upper hand, or even “the strongest possible position” for the negotiations more and more people are now accepting will happen at some time on the future.

Russia has found a strategy that works, retaliating in a way that opens up for more direct NATO involvement would jeopardize that without giving Russia much of a material benefit.

The people of Venezuela are yearning for American military bases and IMF structural adjustment programmes
