Russia doesn't want to annex Ukraine, and they have never stated as such. I don't know where you people got confused.

Kindle paper works well, since you can just sync books into it with calibre or other software. They're also amazingly tough to break in my experience.

Turns out that's what happens when the former hegemon gets a bit too big for their breeches and lets the mask slip.

Dprk has been food stable for a decade, and their leadership seems pretty good given they've managed to stave off invasions and us meddling for so long.

By giving aid to those that need it regardless of whose in charge. And Muslim women aren't cattle, even in extreme regressive versions of Islam. This shows an inherent misunderstanding of why the repressive rules were created, which will lead to failure in understanding how to correct it.

No, Russias peace plan is the separatist nations get to exist, and Ukraine doesn't get NATO bases so they can't build up a second attack any time soon.

Russia has been quite reasonable throughout.

But I was assured by the ncd guys that Russia would choke on Kursk and balkanize any day now that Biden let Ukraine strike inside Russia!

I'm pretty sure they don't care about being noticed, and would rather the US and the West fuck off entirely from affairs that don't involve them.

I'm being purposefully hyperbolic to people that think investing in local communities is a genocide. Realistically yes, you can have leftist beliefs while believing anti left fascist propaganda. A whole lot of why the Weimar Republic fell was socialists believing fascists over their own comrades. But really if the only actual sources for a thing are people paid to explicitly be against communism, maybe don't believe it. Read some Chinese history, look into the myths like mao ordering sparrows to be killed and read why that's not a thing that happened and where those stories first started.

You will never have a clear view of anything regarding people, were too chaotic of a thing to objectively record, but you can get a much better idea if you understand the underlying motivations of those doing the recording. Chinese propaganda wants to entrench Chinese power for a China controlled by the people. American propaganda wants to entrench the ruling classes power for a China controlled by the American ruling class. Seems the biases are therefore a little uneven.

Ask yourself this, how do you think your revolution, whatever revolution you think is necessary to install your ideology, is going to go 50 years after it's successful and you've been attacked constantly on all sides and from within by the enemy?

Turns out we can answer that, you won't make it 50 years, you won't make it five if you stick to principles doomed to fail.

China isn't a fascist state, they're not an imperialist state. They're an unapologetic dictatorship of the proletariat, and the only country still around that has executed billionaires, plural. Are they communist? No, no state can be communist given that statelessness is required. But they have an open democracy where all citizens can participate, a government that explicitly follows the will of the people, and an economy that favors the workers and has pulled more people out of poverty than all other economic systems combined. All without really violating human rights.

It's a local only change specific to that install of steam, not your account. It essentially just lets you use steam services on non steam executables. It doesn't even check the executable. You can be online with Microsoft word through steam if you want. You can run pirated windows games through proton via steam and I can guarantee you steam does not give one iota of a fuck.
