And that was when, pray tell?

Quora ahahahah

Also a whole block of text all to say he fought against ISIS and al-Qaeda. I wonder who else fought against them… Oh yeah, Russia, Turkey, Iraq, Syria and pretty much every other country they came in contact with.

Now that they are mostly gone, the Levant is more stable. I wonder if he helped stabilize or destabilize the region…

Still no sauce

I’m talking about the murders and mass rapes that happened in Nazi occupied countries after the arrival of the Red army. Go ask the Baltic states, the Polish, the Hungarians, the Romanians etc.

Also that number is just the “confirmed and directly attributable” deaths caused by Stalin in just the Soviet union. The real.number of death caused directly or indirectly by him is sooo much higher

What in the what?

After the Soviet Union dissolved, evidence from the Soviet archives was declassified and researchers were allowed to study it. This contained official records of 799,455 executions (1921–1953),[8] around 1.7 million deaths in the Gulag,[9][10] some 390,000[11] deaths during the dekulakization forced resettlement, and up to 400,000 deaths of persons deported during the 1940s,[12] with a total of about 3.3 million officially recorded victims in these categories. [Also] the deaths of at least 5.5 to 6.5 million[14] persons in the Soviet famine of 1932–1933 (known in Ukraine as Holodomor).

This from the official Soviet records only and only in the Soviet Union. Real numbers are probably higher. Winter War death toll not included. War crimes and civilian casualties by the Red Army during the march on Berlin also not counted.

democratically elected government officials

Yes, and Mussolini won by plebiscite.

The best democratic elections are those where you only have one choice, it’s known.

Because there’s always one. Name one county where there isn’t a owning class

Still safer than mushrooms picking

I mean, we had rationing in Italy too, but you don’t see people struggling to make a passing meal here. I’m pretty sure we were also much poorer than the British both going into and coming out of WW2

I guess Spotify was running on the other 40%, as many other services

I dunno, but doesn’t like a quarter of the internet kinda run on Azure?

A. That’s not what you said. Normalization of relationship doesn’t mean subjugation

B. If the CCP wanted normalization they wouldn’t be talking about invading Taiwan. They’d be saying “we’re fine with Taiwan existing as their own nation we’re willing to recognize them and sign a peace treaty if they do the same with us”. That’s normalization

C. You’re blaming the victim rather than the aggressor. The CCP are the ones saying they’ll invade, Taiwan are the ones saying they’ll defend themselves. It’s like blaming the Palestinians for Israel’s invasion

Since when is the KMT pro CCP? Since when are they pro subjugation to the PRC? Since when is the KMT communist? Seriously, wtf did I just read

Can we at least stop allowing people to use ‘of’ instead of ‘have’?

It doesn’t make any sense and I need to read the sentence twice to understand what they’re saying.

Zootopia rule 34

Think if he did this to a supreme court judge, do you think they’d reverse the ruling? 🤔

“”“”“”“”“”““cheese””“”“”“”“”“”

or whatever that plastic thing you guys eat is

I can understand if someone like Google or Microsoft employs lawyers directly, as they have the resources and scale to do so. But someone like Telegram should really not do that. They should use an external legal office when needed. Even keep them on retainer, but definitely not open a legal office inside the company.

Fantastic seems like a strong statement. They’re fine at best

Better than bleach I guess
