He was sanctioned by the EU in 2022 over his support for the Kremlin’s Ukraine offensive.”

Also, Italy should be super glad that the Allies needed its roads to get to Germany during the second world war, and that it was liberated before massive destruction was required. It should renounce fascism forever, atone for its sins, and not attempt to appease, nor attempt to encourage others to appease, fascist dictators. Italy should be glad that it was not bathed in the righteous glow of an A-bomb. It should thank GOD for this, and sit down and SHUT THE FUCK UP 🍕
Can there be a better indicator of your docility and cowardice than the time change? A law says that you will change your entire daily schedules, simply because they command it. And they do it to you twice a year and you obey. Furthermore, I cannot condone the growing of organs in pigs. If it were done to dogs, it would be animal cruelty and criminally actionable. You are all disgusting in my eyes. May the sun rise upon this world and burn it in a never-ending hell while I pee in your buttholes.
And only seven mo. until American be Trump pregnant once again, and further 2.5 mo. until upon Caesar’s sectional such an child shall burst forth from the womb of incompetent judicial malfeasance to consume the mother of liberty from grabbing her privates and eating around all vital organs toward the extremities holding favors for brutes abroad. Then, there will be no more wheat and peace itself shall be creamed as only impossible as the people sit idly watching the storms roll in heaven. Amen.
Citizens are reminded that fighter planes and heavy munitions do not eliminate insurgent fighters. They create new ones, often more than there were before. Furthermore, doublespeak is not as effective as the elderly might hope, and the domestic electorate is not as naive or as disconnected as they were in the 1990s. Is one fascist imperial foothold across the world worth another costly, crushing defeat? Remember the lessons of history. It is not your place. They are not, the hell, your whales.
The Revivalists – Good Old Days
Zones of lawlessness abroad sustain zones of ‘normalcy,’ or oligarchic control, at home. This has always been the imperial model. It was never eternal, as the appetites of its masters are insatiable, thus history’s cycle of collapse and reorganization. It won’t work that way in the 21st century. The easy pickings of the planet, including energy, are gone. All exist beneath a ticking clock of collapse. They will increasingly turn their weapons inward in the coming years. Enemies lists only grow.
