Bingo. The Syrian Civil War is a nightmare for anyone with a shred of empathy and a brain to think with.

Russia was actively bombing the hell out of civilian areas. And the action was designed to drive them to other countries, their hope being they fled to the West. Refugees flood in to Turkey (many go on to Europe), have different values that “clash” with the West, locals get pissed because they don’t understand a fucking thing about what’s happening. Local person is a victim of a crime by a refugee and all hell breaks loose. Politics in affected countries lurch to the right.

My memory of the SCW is foggy, a massive nightmare. This was 2013? 2014? More an ongoing thing for years, rather than one or two years in particular. But a concerted effort really around 2014 or so iirc.

I know what you’re talking about. It requires fire, so your claims of it being “man-made” when they just burnt soil. The ingredients were made by the rainforest. And I’m not giving the name, because you’re not nearly as smart as you think. And selfish morons, when given the name, will run with it as far as their imaginations will go. Some fucking dipshits in Wyoming will think that it would save their shitty farm that they’ve ruined by failing to rotate crops.

All about the banks. The Swiss don’t give a shit about who wins, so long as they keep making money.

That’s crazy. Someone’s going to get a rotten onion they paid a lot for, and come back at the dealer.

A black market onion dealer may get killed over business selling onions. What a world it is

That fukken ocean’s been getting real uppity lately… but who among us will dare to put the unruly seas in their place

Winter usually deals with much of Canada’s homeless. It’s quite a social program.
