The tldr bot summarized only page one of a two-page article. That summary is missing a lot of context.

Good luck to them, and if you own The Crew, you can likely help the Stop Killing Games initiative by following the steps outlined at stopkillinggames.com

Hmmm.

It went through the house, it is not yet approved. And for 8 months now, Ukraine has gotten no support from the US.

After all, the constitution is written on paper and that got never changed, so his point is totally valid.^/s

While I think that many are ok with ‘trying out’ Lemmy by joining a random instance at first, I also have seen numerous threads in which users are complaining about not being able to subscribe to communities they are interested in, only to be told that the instance hosting the communities they are interested in is blocked by their instance. I don’t think it makes for a good first impression to join a Lemmy instance, only to be immediately told that you need to join another instance to see the content you are interested in.

Twitter folk: The grandpa is a nazi!

And it most likely will remain talk. Macron would help Ukraine more by helping to set up a robust military supply chain for Ukraine.

Or there could be a delay of one minute before posts get federated, giving the user the option to quickly delete a comment or post.

That is one thing Lemmy is not good at: Protecting its users legally. No admin can be expected to hire a lawyer to fight off those companies.

They’re all fuckheads. Scholz doesn’t want to send Taurus, but he wants to send more artillery munition. Macron only wants to send EU-made artillery munition, even though the european arms manufacturers are at the limit of their current artillery munition production capacity, but international stocks could be bought immediately.

Now Macron’s talks about boots on the ground, even though he will never convince anyone else with that. He’s bringing politics into a decision that should be made efficiently and quickly.

Between Scholz and Macron, both are disappointments, but Macron is the bigger burden to Ukranian aid right now.

History moves in a cycle. From war to peace to war to peace again. Thanks to unity, Europe has enjoyed peace and stability longer than any that came before. It comes to no surprise then that those who want to undermine the peace in order to gain more influence, would support isolationists within this union. We need to recognize what Putin’s Russia is to Europe: A threat to peace and unity. And we must also recognize that if we fail our commitments to see Ukraine win, we are a huge step closer to letting Putin and the isolationists break the unity and by extension the peace, that we have enjoyed for so long.

I guess you’re right. His pronounciation isn’t very clear. The tl;dw is, and I don’t claim it to be all encompassing, watch the video if you really want to know what was said, that Poland and Hungary not only weren’t ‘annexed’ into NATO, not only asked nicely to join, but actively bribed and forced their way into NATO. Bill Clinton and Boris Yeltsin made a horse-trade, where Poland and Hungary joining NATO was scheduled to happen after elections in Russia, but before US elections, so that both can win their reelection. The ascension of Poland and Hungary was clearly communicated and signed off between both head of states. The issue lies with the rest of both countries. Other politicians, on both sides, stirred more hostility. When Bush and Putin took over, the relationship between both coutries deteriorated even further. Bush’s unilateral push to get Georgia and Ukraine into NATO is, according to the video, the reason why Putin invaded Georgia. However after Bush, Obama took over and made it NATO policy that a country must have full control over its land, excluding Georgia for being partially occupied and Ukraine for having singed a lease on the Sevastapol naval base with the Russians, on top of the majority of Ukrainians at the time being against joing NATO. Obama has mellowed his tone significantly towards Russia compared to Bush. Only with the Euromaidan happening did Russia decide that, actually, Ukrainians are nazis and NATO is encroaching our borders and we need to defend ourselves. NATO enlargement isn’t ‘the US broke all agreements and is pushing for encirclement’, but different presidents having different goals. Clinton wanted to be reelected and Poland threatened to mobilize voters with polish roots for the Republicans. Bush was a warmonger that wanted to steamroll everyone, including Russia. Obama was looking to ease tensions and make alliances. The issue with Ukraine is separate from those presidents however. It was triggered by Putin getting spooked by popular uprisings.

Their rev (revenue) on digital sales, add-on-content, digital-downloads are at all time highs… And yet their margins are at decade-lows. This is just not acceptable

It is unacceptable to not squeeze every last bit of money from everyone!

Well, time for the EU to show that they can out-spend a country with the GDP of Italy, even if that country has switched to a war-time economy.

90%, but your point still stands. Anyone remember the saying “Weak men create hard times”? Those are the weak men. Little bitch-boys that need a strongman to tell them what to think.

That’s no quote, it’s just what I think powerful statesmen use internally to justify their actions.

But haven’t you heard? The common man is but an animal that needs to be hearded. All this surveillance is purely to the benefit of the ignorant masses. ^^\s^
