Ahhh let’s talk about those! The one in Russia last month was pretty cool. Sending Wagner to Belarus to mess with Poland, only for Poland to send 10,000 troops and see Wagner get shipped out of Belarus was pretty funny. Russia keeps trying the same playbook, and now it’s being met with equal force, so they’re pissed. Same reason the EU border states just expelled thousands of Russian citizens.

They keep trying to stage coups using Russian citizens. The coup in Ukraine in 2014 was preceded by a border buildup of “special operation forces.” It also noteworthy how Russia has changed the lingo and now calls it “War in Ukraine.”

Uh yeah gonna need the person claiming the photos are legit to post some proof. Burden of proof is on the presenter. That was my comment that you replied to. Since you can’t, we can assume you are arguing in bad faith and have nothing to contribute

You realize the people in those photos are Russian citizens and connected to Wagner PMC, right? Identify each of them for us and prove you know what the hell you’re posting. Anyone can post a picture of a Nazi flag and say “See? SEE!??”

The US also sent a large number of politicians to spend 4th of July (their biggest nationalist holiday) in Russia.

Which part was carefully chosen wording, and where are your citations?

Wait a minute… Who invaded Ukraine in 2014, and again in 2021? Who illegally annexed sovereign territory? America is not blameless, but in this war they are just the arms dealer

Didn’t the trade wars already start under Trump, and then get intensified under Biden with the CHIPS act/restricting microprocessor imports to China? China retaliated by restricting microprocessor raw materials to the US and Chinese companies ordered 5 billion USD in microprocessors

I guess I fail to see the point. There is no person on Lemmy who only uses items native to their country, especially electronics. Criticize whoever you want, but realize the designs and money for the products are almost always coming from a different place as the manufacturing. If your labor is cheap, you don’t attract the best and brightest because those scientists and engineers expect to be paid well. If you attract the best and brightest, cheap labor can’t afford to live near them

I agree with everything you’re saying, but one thing: the US imports more from Canada and Mexico because labor land and shipping costs less than production in China

Okay how the hell did you post a picture? I haven’t figured that one out yet
