difference is that now they don’t have to invent a reason like iraqi wmd’s

the point is moot however, the colombians have already caved like the americans wanted them to.

the archive version link seems to show a different article that doesn’t mention russia at all; maybe it’s the wrong link?

the former is always confused for the latter; especially on lemmy.

The government tried to address the issue by lowering the mobilisation age to 25 from 27 and introducing tougher rules for those evading the call-up. But it has so far resisted lowering the mobilisation age further to boost manpower.

meanwhile, in the american empire, we send adult sized children at 18 who are not yet old enough to drink alcohol or rent a car to commit terrible violence in in places like the middle east or latin america and no one bats a single eye.

i used to believe that liberals were well educated/versed on politics; but seeing them be completely unaware that their own people costed them the election and also unaware that their people didn’t vote because of the genocide; despite the yougov poll bieng shared on every single media outlet is galling.

good riddance.

i’m saddened that i missed out on the social media flamewars about deepseek. lol

🤦

petro is not wrong; but he’s given the americans full blessings to regime change columbia and absolutely no one in the est will come to his aid; not even his fellow latin americans out of fear of pissing off the americans.

PLEASE prove me wrong!!!

I can speak on immigrants from Central America because we sponsored 7 families (aunts & uncles) growing up and I ended up going to school w my cousins who didn’t speak English.

They did REALLY well in science, math, physics, biology, history & sociology because the schools that they came from had significantly higher standards, so they coasted until the American students caught up to them years later; but did poorly w literature, English, social studies, & civics for obvious reasons. (I grew up in small town USA and the racist teachers tried to fail some of them, but couldn’t since their excellent grades in the hard sciences made up for their failure grades in the soft sciences). (They also got into more fights at school by the racist bullies).

They were young enough so that they were completely fluent in English by the time they graduated high school and I hope that I likewise can become fluent in Spanish when I emigrate after the American fascists ruin everything.

His base see it as him punishing Columbia and they’ll later be surprised at how much some things cost and blame liberals for it.

That’s what I would do if I were also a ghoul and in this guy’s shoes; you have so much $$$ that you don’t have to care if Amazon is profitable ever againn, but it will continue to be profitable so long as Americans keep using it, now matter how much they pretend to hate it for its shitty labor practices.

you’re trying to share a worthwhile message and then apologizing for the execution; there’s nothing to apologize for. 😉

the video is right: risc-v is like the hardware world’s version of linux and it will disrupt things once it gets enough engagement like linux has; particularly with android.

i do; every 👏 single 👏 time 👏 i come back from texas.

greybeards (pardon the sexism) are always either beautiful maximalists/minimalists (like here) or just go w vanilla whatever for some reason.

i can infer that it’s something like this based on the context; but is there a flamewar about it raging on fascist friendly platforms like twitter or facebook?

these girls have done WAY MORE DAMAGE to my life than any of my other dealers or cartels could ever dream of. lol

i haven’t seen a personal website since the days of geocities; this is awesome!

mastodon is probably following the same path; it’s not very decentralized either and probably the first thing to enshittify on the fediverse. (assuming other fediverse islands haven’t already with things like bots on .world).

ibm is going to buy the entire ansible-verse; so be ready.

i will weep with you in solidarity. 😉

another deepseek reference; now i have fomo since there must be a controversy somewhere. lol
