When I argue with Ukraine skeptic leftists who aren't full bore vatnik, I like to encourage them to think of the war as partially rightwing infighting, and to see the elimination of both sides' fash elements as a positive. I think it's only logical that these groups are against each other in the end, because they're death cults ultimately based on domination, mythical belief in the superiority of their specific in-group, and never ending conflict. If your belief is that brave men are only those who die in battle, how could peace ever be an option? Victory is not only unachievable, but to be avoided- no more conquest and no more manhood.

The maidan movement was not a us goon squad, it was a popular uprising against a guy who was previously thrown out already once before, the first time he was president. For great background on all of this that would challenge your narrative watch the following video and the rest of the series https://youtu.be/exJ024Zdzdk?si=W3_R2k0E7tVFqDn0

Speaking of blaming the CIA, as battlefront's resident worker democracy advocate I am sad to report that certain tendencies on social media are buying a narrative: -That ISIS is a cia proxy, -That like Beleg noted, the US warning is seen as confirmation of that, -And that further evidence of them being puppets is that ISIS is not attacking Israel at the moment. There are truly embarrassing people who identify with the movements.

I genuinely don't get why that second update was even necessary, it was a big nothing. They waited several months to release an update that was literally just 'actually no, we aren't gonna tell you the rest we are working on'

I don't get why Russians keep claiming FF. It makes them look bad, and it makes it out like the key to defeating the Russian air force is their own air defense. Lmao

Agreed.

And now you've switched to full on red baiting because you have no answer to my criticisms of an American general. If you want to continue this conversation about who has access to goods and services, you're always welcome in my direct messages where you can talk till you're blue in the face about how nice it is to have consumer goods.made by people who will never have access to them. Now get on topic.

Amazing how valid criticism from one person is a full on cancellation of your favorite general by the proletariat. Here's a tissue, comrade.

Don't really see the point of the Patton quote posting. Far right people love to post another quote of his that "we fought the wrong enemy", implying that he would rather have allied with the nazis. Guy was a piece of work. In his own words, quoted in Peter Harts The Last Battle, during the American offensive in 1918, Patton thought he killed an American soldier who was shell shocked, hitting him over the head. Somehow this anecdotal admission of possible manslaughter/murder has been completely forgotten despite the scandal in WW2 when Patton simply slapped a soldier. This wasn't the only time Patton would inflict violence against soldiers of his own country who fought in the first war, he helped put down with force the Bonus Army that marched to DC to get the benefits they were owed. Patton was no hero and isn't worth celebrating.

They just got done swatting down a border bill that had everything they were asking for, because Trump needs that issue to run on to scare older white folks who live nowhere near a good Mexican restaurant. He has no other issue to really campaign for. The US mis leadership class, if willing to just allow a two bit conman to become dictator, proves that this system and those that defend it deserve every heap of scorn that radicals put on them. I'm not going to accept American Putinism, even if they win the election. I will not comply and I hope most of the civil service and military defies him and his thugs, openly and directly.

If he ignores a congressional declaration of war like that, it's treason Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court. The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.

What exactly did he tack left on?no one on the left gives a sh#t about build back better or the infrastructure stuff as it doesn't go near far enough. He's continued to build the trump wall, he's continued to try to shore up border security (who tanked that so that trump has something to run on, again?), he's been supporting Israel, he did F all for healthcare and he maybe got a little bit of student loan debt forgiven. Roe got overturned on his watch and the Republicans dogs have caught the car on that one. The fact is, Everyone left of Obama hates Biden and almost everything he's done, meanwhile he's made us(like usual) irrelevant, just look at the pathetic results of anyone else trying to primary him. The LIBERALS(NOT LEFTISTS) are almost uniformly on the Biden train. Meanwhile trump can't even get the whole Republican party behind him anywhere he has primaried. Look at his ratios versus Biden's in the primaries - Trump wishes he had Biden's primary numbers behind him. I don't know what news you are consuming, but I'm with Beau of the Fifth Column on this, the Republicans can't do a primary without Trump, but they cant win a general election with him. Jesus, I sound like a liberal.

Didn't tucker give Putin an opening to discuss his religiosity, asking him if he saw gods presence in world events, and to the disappointment of religious rightwingers in the west, he said no?

Hope tucker stays there and falls out of a window eventually

It's just the latest iteration of calling something politically correct, which was always just another way of saying something is too liberal. In another decade they will call it something else. Seems to me the armed forces can't be too picky about who joins, although ironically the wider demographics they need to recruit don't want to join sometimes precisely BECAUSE they don't want to be singled out by white conservatives who think they don't belong.

26,000 dead and counting, dozens of hospitals and safe zones bombed, but go off about one fake.

While I don't doubt that Russian conditions are appalling as described, I do want to point out that anything from Radio Free Europe(or Radio Free Asia, for that matter) should be taken with a grain of salt and independently corroborated. It's literally government media, CIA if I'm not mistaken.

Team yankee took place in 85', as does the tabletop game based on it by the OTHER Battlefront company

That's entirely out of keeping with my experience, especially Laredo, yes getting into Mexico is fairly chill but getting back into the US is a very time consuming wait where the CBP engages in security theater and treating everyone like a potential criminal, particularly if you are latin american. both sides of the border increasingly militarized during the Calderon Presidency when the Mexican government went hard against the cartels. Got to see a lot of Mexican soldiers, federal police with machine gun checkpoints and German rifles. I genuinely despise the crossing back into the US.

As someone who DOES basically think the border not being open is close to fascist, you're patently and categorically mischaracterizing the Dems and the state of the border. As someone who has regularly traveled back and forth across it, I haven't the slightest idea what you mean. There's so much law enforcement and much of Republican policy from trump and every previous deportation happy administration is intact. Biden could put HIMARS and land mines on the border and Republicans would ask why he won't start a special military operation in Juarez.

Wasn't this already something done in the wake of the trump administration leaving office?

I am also not supporting AMD going forward, to be clear.

Completely agree, this is unacceptable. I'm not buying a single CM product until this is resolved, why pay for a non legacy product that doesn't work on modern drivers for 6-8 months at a time? Armored brigade 2 might be the better option if this doesn't change by the time that releases.

Gonna reiterate my advice about save management. Save after every turn, delete as you go....

Really hope that engine updates to ensure CM doesn't become unplayable with current hardware happen, at a minimum. A new engine with more future compatibility would be great too.
