either way?

look, the headline makes it sound like the SG of NATO made ceding land conditional to join NATO, which simply didn’t happen. What seems like did happen is that he merely suggested it as a possibility during a panel discussion, and not even to Ukrainians.

One is an outrageous diplomatic blunder of international proportions, the other is a somewhat insensitive gaffe and nothing more. It’s huge difference, and it’s important not only to note that but how shitty it is of Newsweek to make it sound like the first happened when, in reality, it was the second. as I pointed out, the first 3 sentences is backtracking from the total lie of a headline.

Ok, so here’s the headline:

NATO Official Gives Ukraine 'Unacceptable' Conditions for Joining

Then the first sentence:

The chief of staff for NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has angered Kyiv officials for suggesting Ukraine could become a member of NATO if it ceded some of its territory to Russia.

Then the second sentence.

Stian Jenssen, who has held the title of director of the Private Office of the NATO Secretary General since 2017, reportedly made the suggestion while speaking on a recent panel in the Norwegian city of Arendal.

Now we have 3 slightly different versions of the story, but the differences are very important. Which one is the truth? The headline says he gave conditions to Ukraine, the second implies it, and the third clarifies that he was speaking to a Norwegian discussion panel. In Norway, where there may not have even been an Ukrainians present.

WTF, Newsweek?

I got to tell you, I don’t really miss those subs. I don’t think they are good for people. 

safari has been able to do this for years

Something about Christopher McDonald rubs me the wrong way. He seems so… phony.

I’d be down with Ruck, though. He seems precisely the amount of stuffy to be in one of those late-23rd to early-24th century Starfleet uniforms.

oh, no shame, I promise! I may have been a bit sarcastic, but I was honestly just curious!

for me, all that detail takes me out of the fantasy

why? do you need to see the individual sperm in the cum? do you want to be able to count the pubic hairs? why on earth would someone want that level of detail in porn?

I don’t get it

edit: sorry, I didn’t mean for this to come off as rude as it did!

they spam several top communities with Russian and Chinese propaganda - often from dubious sources - and instigate hostile, combative arguments in the comments. when others point out that it’s just propaganda, they respond with more hostility and more propaganda. a quick look through their post history shows a clear pattern of toxic abuse towards anyone who disagrees with them.

that’s nothing to admire.

He’s actually a nice enough guy

not if their comment history is anything to go by— insulting, hostile, and combative comments, many of which are heavily-downvoted (except on lemmgrad.ml, which is an echo-chamber for tankies).
