Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I'm sorry but this is a direct threat to a politician of a country which is member of the NATO...shouldn't it at least trigger some response like a friendly 'fuck off russia' or some new sanctions.

I mean it's awesome that we trigger those sowjets fucks over there, but we still should make sure that those threats are not tolerated by the west.

Biggest response to a threat is sometimes not to hear it.

Yeah this lead 2014 to the annexing of crimea...Putin took it and nobody responded to it properly

as an ukranian I really cant't laugh at that. This whole appeasement idea to avoid conflict does not work with cunts like putin. They understand only one language and see everything else as weakness and confirmation of their twisted mindset & behaviour.

You're right, it's not really a laughing matter at all, I just don't know what else to do with the whole cruel and absurd situation. I'm really sorry your people are being subjected to this unforgivable shitshow. I believe you will win and the world will know not to fuck with Ukrainians again.

Keep your dark humor, you did nothing wrong :) Everybody has a different way to handle these dark times we are living in and (dark) humor is a perfectly fine way to tackle it.

Susan Collins approves of this message.

So they're being charged with damaging Soviet (a country that no longer exists) monuments, presumably located outside of Russia? Maybe Russia's generals should also be charged, then. I mean, they've destroyed all sorts of former Soviet buildings and infrastructure in Ukraine.

Funny how all these 'strong' men seem to go for the women and defenseless first. Hope she has teeth.

Those pesky Estonians beating us to the finish line again!

First the singing, now this...

And Fucker Carlson platformed that fucking lunatic.

Let Russians join the EU, hang Putin for crimes against common sense.

And zero fucks are given by the rest of the world...

What about her husband, though? Is he still doing business in Russia?

[–] Kbobabob -2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Look it up and post the information? Unless you really don't care in which case I wonder why even make this comment?

One only had to sow the seeds of doubt.
