Intelligence reports show Russia’s readiness to use jet fighters on a large scale for the first time in their attempted conquest of Ukraine.

Over 1500 jets were moved from inland bases closer to the Ukrainian border in the recent weeks.

Up until now they used war planes sparingly, being wary of the Ukrainian air defenses, mostly for firing long range cruise missiles from afar.

This may hint at them entering a desperation stage but the sheer number of jets available to them means trouble

Me as a stone mason noticing I’d spelled a client’s name wrong on their tombstone:

“Oh, no, that is a grave mistake…”

“Why, of course, absolutely go outside with no helmet on, because the air’s breathable but no one has heard of bacteria or potentially harmful pollen or microorganisms in general yet.”

I was a guest on a farm in Tennessee, which I understood then to be pretty much the heart of “Da Sauf” or at least very similar to the quint-essential South States in their post-Confederate ways, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that household completely rejecting offers to switch channels to Fox and stayed on CNN instead.

The coverage that day was of the Oklahoma City bombing. I can only imagine how Fox ppl were trying to twist it. Thankfully I wasn’t exposed to that.

NK is, in fact, communist.
I grew up in the Soviet Union.
Everything about today’s NK completely mirrors our realities of then.
Some aspects are taken to the extreme, but that is only their logical evolution, not an exception to some rule.
You have the totalitarianism analysis right, but you might be lacking hands on knowledge and experience which allows me to draw exact parallels easier and with more accuracy than from book definitions.

Just to clarify, there actually are people who would sign under this? That he is infallible?

I see so many people in the west are enamored with communist ideology, it’s disturbing and concerning on so many levels.

Please don’t fall into that rabbit hole.
You want real life examples of pinnacles of communism on our planet, well, look at North Korea. Also, Russia’s leadership consists almost exclusively of old members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and look where it got them, look where it got all of us as a civilization because of them.

Don’t be fools.
