I mean appeasement and holding back is useless when the enemy wants you GONE. Close the straight of hormuz and make the people happy

Doubt its erosion into petty statelets that jockey for the best deal.

Thanks!

Hope you’re doing better! Feel you right, currently stuck for almost a week in bed due to an irritated nerve (if you’re sitting or standing for a long time, please do stretches!)

Its a wonder you walked at all.

Yeah but it will be replaced by a myriad of protection rackets with the us and most of russia’s closest neighbors are NAFO-freaks who would sell their own grandma for the boot.

Doubt it, honestly. The NSA has a Consolidated Intelligence Center in Wiesbaden as well as Darmstadt’s Dagger Complex just a stones throw away from Frankfurt the center of EU finance and logistical hub. Any alternative will be compromised with these bases remain.

Which baldur gate? 1-2 are different from 3 by quite a margin. Baldur Gate 3 isnt as open worlded as witcher 3 but has more rpg choices.

People kinda forgot that medieval people couldnt just constantly rely on the lactate-carnist duploly and had several alternatives now considered “trendy” “chemical” products.

Tbf people still call indigenous picts, germanics and illyrians “barbarians” and whine endless about how great rome was. Another related anecdote is that in english they translated medieval german polities as “stem duchies” -> while the original word means just tribal duchies and is the same word used as to describe native polities (tribes). Because they couldnt fathom calling white people tribal.

But yeah, the erasure of indigenous people is very real. I too often see people in the wild talking as if native americans died out and dont exist anymore or that they arent relevant in the us because its “only” 4 milion people.

Ironically the germans that would say that in earnest are the biggest drivers of anti-hamas derangement syndrome.

never again, but it somehow doesn’t.

Because the narrative of the “grand realization” alignment towards liberal humanism, a great enlightenment in which the west after its darkest hour - saw the depravity of fascism and promised to do better. Was just that, a narrative. A modern fable.

The nakba happened in 1948, The UK put Kenyans into concentration camps in 1952, the US killed 25% of all North Koreans in the 1950s, France did horrific violence with the aid of former SS soliders in Vietnam and later Algeria 1950-1960s. The genocidal fanatics never went away, they became the arbiters of international law and democracy of today.

It has always been never again…for us. The remembrance culture was created by Zionists and the west to enable what it does do now. And almost all flavors of the left took it as earnest and now dismay why the farce is collapsing.

Honestly I have like started three games. Need to go back to baldur gate 2 or gothic 1 and finally finish either.
