C’est grace à toi on dirait, bravo :)

So the spelling is irregular, so what. You’ll be bad at spelling for a while.

People mostly learn languages by reading.

having to memorize arbitrary gender for every noun in the language, learn complex verb conjugations, polite and impolite forms and make every verb and adjective agree with the nouns in gender and number

If you mess those up, people will still understand you. Saying “un chaise” instead of “une chaise” doesn’t change the meaning and everyone knows what you’re saying.

However, if you learn english words through text and then try to use them vocally, nobody will understand you. (looking at you “beard”, who isn’t pronounced at all like “bear” for some reason)

There is absolutely no correlation between spoken and written english, so in practice it’s the same as having to learn two languages at once. Even adult native speakers still aren’t sure how to pronounce simple 1 syllable words such as “route” or “vase”, that’s pretty telling how confusing that language is.

Coucou. :)

C’est rigolo, je ne vois aucun commentaires sur les posts de cette communauté depuis lemmygrad. C’est lié au fait que la re-fédération est récente ?

Maybe they would be more on edge if Mexico was doing yearly military exercises with China at the Texas border, simulating an invasion of the US.

Oh wait, wrong country…

They need to start doing military exercises in the South Bay now.

Wagner has been in Africa fighting jihadists for a long time now, their presence on the continent isn’t a secret.

The longer the war lasts, the happier are the military industrial complex and its shareholders.

What does that even mean? What was said during that meeting? What guarantees did France offer Russia?

Existing in that blue area makes me want to puke.

I will copy paste this comment from Hexbear that explains how we reached that situation, because I believe it will be useful here for context:

The following three parts are absolutely crucial toward understanding the ongoing war in Ukraine from a materialist and historical standpoint:

One, the Maidan Coup happened in 2013 because the former president Yanukovych wanted to postpone signing the EU association trade agreement, which was an economic warfare against both Ukraine and Russia. First, it required that Ukraine take on IMF loans that required them to cut social spending and education. Second, it would allow European goods to flood Russian market due to the existing tariff-free agreement between Ukraine and Russia, without allowing Russia to do so in reverse. Putin did NOT oppose to Ukraine signing the deal, he offered a tripartite meeting to discuss this tariff issue, but the EU refused. Yanukovych did not want to lose the trade revenue with Russia, so he said he needed more time to talk this out with Russia - but it was already too late, merely postponing was enough to trigger the ultranationalists/fascists to launch a coup.

Second, the Donbass separatists rebelled because immediately after the coup, one of the first things the coup regime did was to initiate a ban on Russian language to lash out against ethnic Russians. Russia was forced into the conflict, because there would have been a massacre if the civil war was to allow the military to crush the resistance in Donbass.

Third, the Minsk agreements showed that Russia was absolutely willing to return Donbass (but not Crimea for obvious reasons) to Ukraine, although Ukraine has to give the Donbass local governments more autonomy to protect their local cultures (so that someone from Kyiv can’t just simply impose a national ban on language or culture without considering the local populations). They waited 8 years for Ukraine to start implementing the protocol, but instead what they saw was NATO openly arming Ukraine for 8 years - this showed that Ukraine wanted to take back Donbass and Crimea by military force, and the only reason for that is quite simply that they wanted to ethnically cleanse the Russian culture without having to adhere to the Minsk agreements. Both Merkel and Hollande, guarantors of Minsk II, have admitted publicly in 2022 that Minsk was simply to buy time for Ukraine to militarize, proving Russia’s intuition correct.

The war in Ukraine was inevitable. Russia still did the last ditch effort in 2021 to call for a security meeting with NATO, but to no avail. Under the new Biden presidency, Zelensky had been emboldened to talk about Ukraine joining NATO and rearming with nuclear weapons, prompting the invasion from Russia in February 2022. The rest is history.

Well, European “democracies” built their wealth by exploiting those countries through colonisation, coups, and political assassination. On the other hand, Russian and Chinese “dictatures” respectively built their wealth through the extraction of their own resources, and by building their own productive force.

Theoritically, it should work better for them. Chinese loans are already working better than IMF ones so it’s looking good so far.

The USA literally has a military base in the Philippines, and the EU has never done anything about it.

Then come and beat our asses. But rest assured there is no way Macron, this genocidal dictator piece of shit, would ever try to appease tensions with a country that takes care of their population instead of shooting up every protests as he does.

Those comments are so dumb I could resist replying. Now I’m gonna have more of that crap in my recommendations. 🤮

How alternatively: imagine being so addicted to social media, that you want a system to get a high score.

“Second thought’s vidéos are incredibly polished, you would never know that he’s a tankie”

Tankie is when your videos look like shit apparently. Not even a minute into the video and it’s already too stupid for me to keep watching. Incredible.

But we want the U.S. military to be crippled though

It’s crazy how some people can have such strong opinions about this conflict while being so uninformed at the same time.
