spoilerThe agriculture was a good give away for the right region, and 30% being Gas Turbines means it had to be a micro country where even a single industry can have a hugely disproportionate slice of exports.

After that, I went looking for barges full of scrap in the Caribbean - yes, I may have taken it too seriously.

We live in pretty shitty times. Witnessing a colonial nation undertake a meticulous and evil information age genocide is something new for Humans.

Fun fact, Stalin was the leader of the USSR during the Korean war, when the USSR had nukes.

Maybe this was the only thing that deterred the US, the only country ever to have used nukes in war, from general MacArthur's well documented nuclear genocide planning.

The Soviet Union had nukes for a few years before Stalin died.

If revenge is needed to prevent further harm, or restore dignity and heal, then it isn't bad. If it's just a path to unintended, prolonged harm or delayed healing for the victim, then it's bad.

The latter is more common even if we don't want it to be.

Perhaps allowing those kinds of articles to be published is a warning shot to Israel to reign things in a little.

I think the reality has set in for these journo's.

Pretending a fake genocide is happening is one thing. Pretending a real genocide isn't happening is another.

You can check what kind of aircraft fleet the airline has before you buy the ticket. For example, Scandinavian Airlines doesn't operate boeings.

I've noticed this a little too - being atomised works both ways, you can forget that a huge number of people actually are just awful and malicious, not just indifferent.

Capitalism is when no food.

You need a citation for 8 years of civil war around Mariupol and Donetsk, and the fact that a large number Ukrainian combatants were part of paramilitary groups that were ideologically nazi's, such as Azov or Right Sector?
