Called it weeks ago. He’ll be long dead before then though. Almost certainly due to a prison shank. Mmw.

Fucking idiot, everyone knows you go to south asia for that, not Europe 🙄

I hate that I read this and immediately went “yup, that’s how it’ll go” without a hint of irony.

Not in a million years. But I’ll still be rooting for him regardless.

3B is peanuts to them. I want to see fines that cripple a company’s yearly profits so that, in lieu of criminal investigations and repercussions, the execs at the very least get punished by their board of directors and shareholders. There’s only one language they understand. Another poster called it “operating costs”. That’s what we need to get rid of; punitive fines need to regain their punitive nature in order to be anywhere close to effective.

So many innocents are going to die in the coming years. I wish I could warn them, but most of them seem to not care at all…

People seem to have forgotten, or worse - accepted this reality for what it is. I will never forget though and I will keep reminding people ad nauseam.

Called it. Can’t be arsed to look up the exact comment but I literally said he’d park a carrier on each end of the canal and would do this.

Conspiracy theorists for the last few decades: “The government is trying to murder us!”

The actual government in 2025: “Yes, we would like it if a grand majority of you were to die”

Conspiracy theorists: crickets

That’s the excuse they’re waiting for to declare martial law. And this time, they’ve made sure that the people who wouldn’t obey orders to fire on civilians are gone. It’ll be a major bloodbath that will make Tiananmen look like peanuts in comparison.

Price of gold will also skyrocket I reckon.

Well, those kill lists aren’t going to populate themselves, you know. Also, the creation of a permanent underclass is paramount to keeping the regular plebs in line in an authoritarian hellhole.

There should be guides for regular people to set up shell offshores. If it’s de facto legal, everyone should do it. Of course, there’s probably barriers to entry, like actually needing money first…

We can certainly hope, but evil people have a way of clinging to life in ways that seem almost unnatural. Dick Cheney is still alive for god’s sake.

Pretty sure that was the plan from the beginning. Also:

O’Malley advises beneficiaries to “start saving now.”

Lol, with what? Bottlecaps?

As long as Russia has bodies to throw at a conflict, it has no reason to stop. Russia fully switched to a wartime economy, not something you do if you’re not in it for the long haul. If the elections had turned out differently, things might have been differently as well. Alas…

I definitely hope I’m wrong about this. I claim no special insight or understanding other than simple pattern recognition and some decent knowledge of history.

They’re showing us, example by example, that things have changed and that any resistance will be punished harshly.

WW3 is absolutely coming, make no mistake about it. The only thing that’s unclear at this point is the timing, and who will be on which side exactly when it happens. If you’re between 16 and 26 and live in Europe, this would be the time to get out. Conscription is unavoidable at this point.

Welcome to Lemmy. There’s dozens of us!

I estimate around 2029-2030 we’ll be using Rinminbi as the global reserve currency.

Not could. Will.
