In Soviet Russia, Bubba blow you!
You can tell it isn’t real because everyone in Youngstown in a mafioso
Live in Youngstown. It is a full of Midwestern turds. They should have flushed the whole city down the toilet when the steel left.
Live in Youngstown.
Man I’m sorry
My uncle was locked up there for a little while
Anyone who’s from Youngstown immediately knows it’s fake because the steel industry died there about 50 years ago or so and it’s never recovered. It’s depressing as hell.
Hey, the pay is good and they don’t have to go to the front line and die in Ukraine.
“Warm water port”
Online campaigns to shift geopolitical agenda are deeper and far more vast than just the big numbers.
Ah, yes. As a patriotic American I love our warm water ports like Corpus Christi and Tampa. Don’t you love warm water ports as well?
Can someone explain this? I’ve never heard the the term referring to anything other than a port that doesn’t freeze over but it clearly has another meaning that I can’t figure out or even find with a search.
It’s a real geopolitical problem for Russia. Russia got screwed by geography in terms of natural harbors that don’t freeze over in the winter. It’s why they’ve always had a crap navy, going way back into the imperial days.
Right now, the Russian Navy is based in Murmansk (brrrr. limited routes to get out into Atlantic) and the Black Sea. The Black Sea is bad for them because Turkey (a NATO member) makes sure to maintain total control of what passes through the Bosphorous.
Part of what Russia did in Syria during the civil war netted them a lease on a base on the Mediterranean. That could have had some use for power projection, but I think they lost it when a certain opthalmologist was expelled.
Anyhow, it’s hilarious when the trolls posing as MAGA Americans bring this up, because real Americans just take their total abundance of ports that don’t freeze over completely for granted. That’s why I point out secondary, less busy port cities on the Gulf of Mexico, where the water is actually pretty warm (instead of just not freezing over). Just to highlight how good the US has it. Even if we were forced to give up Norfolk and Coronado, there are plenty of other suitable places we could have naval bases.
Very interesting! Thank you!
is it maybe that americans don’t think in those terms, but it is more relevant to russian strategic thinking, becuase they don’t have those?
I am maga from Texas, I say we secede from librul states, we have all we need, like warm-water port for naval and industry.
I love that Lemmy is building its own collection of epic moments.
You have been banned from lemmy(dot)ml for Russophobia!
О нет! Думаешь, администратор возьмет взятку?
I wonder if anyone feels like having some fun by combing through fox news and presidential retweets to find instances of overseas influencers fucking with our politicians.
And people fall for it and regulators allow it.
“People fall for it”
checks the accounts of people responding positively to the post
they’re all bots
Nyet
And the added pain to work the night shift in order to react timely.
That’s odd. He’s not saying genocide is wrong. I’ve been assured by lemmy’s pro-genocide centrists that this is the sole criterion by which to identify a russian.
EDIT: the downvotes are from centrists who can’t find any anti-genocide sentiment among the actual foeign influence peddlers.
I can’t wait for this to be the new thought terminating cliche of neolibs. Remember when they said we’d all be turned off after the election? And post election no one would care about Gaza?
Love that projection from them.
