Craig Sawyers Posted March 12, 2022 Report Posted March 12, 2022 Jeeze. At least India immediately apologized for the "regrettable incident", and it was a relief that no one was killed. But it is technical malfunctions like this that could be absolutely disastrous. Quote

Was this thread about a different WWIII? A lot of people think India and Pakistan will get into a nuclear Exchange at some point. They hate each other and have small Border battles all the time.

Knuckledragger Posted March 13, 2022 Author Report Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) China calls for verification of Russian claims of US bioweapons help to Ukraine. Significant inasmuch as China is indirectly bankrolling Putin's efforts. Russian central bank decides not to reopen stock market trading next week. Who needs stock trading? Putin offers battle-hardened fighters from the Middle East up to $3,000 a month to reinforce Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Good luck with that. EDIT: Nationalize AAPL?

RudeWolf Posted March 14, 2022 Report Posted March 14, 2022 Here the antivaxx front is pivoting to deepthroating Putin's boot. The social climate is pretty rough as around 40% of the population here is Russian speaking. I'm kinda glad that a few days ago the police arrested a well known antivaxx evangelist for pro-Putin fake news dissemination and he was Latvian. Don't want the local Russians thinking that we're witch hunting them. Honestly, I am sorry for most of the local Russian population here as they'll have to always make sure that they're the right kind of Russian and not pro-Putin. Funnily enough, most of pro-Putin stuff comes from mixed families which are having a hard time finding their identity and hence are easy pickings for kremlin media. Quote

Interesting, it’s a HBO original only available on Amazon. Quote
Craig Sawyers Posted March 14, 2022 Report Posted March 14, 2022 It is on YouTube too - the link is for the full movie. And yes - HBO. The basic topic is how a limited nuclear war breaks out. In the days of the USSR. Thinking of James Earl Jones, we were lucky enough to see him on the London stage, with Vanessa Redgrave in Driving Miss Daisy. Front row seats. Around 10 years ago. Awsome. https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2011/oct/06/driving-miss-daisy-theatre-review Quote

blessingx Posted March 17, 2022 Report Posted March 17, 2022 Scum & Traitors sounds like a cool Pogues album, but nope, that’s Putin’s description of those not supporting the invasion.
