Mod support is a surefire path to silliness if you have a playerbase that cares. Assetto Corsa is an extremely straight-faced game, but people still modded in things like “your car is a big stompy t-rex” and “everyone races on office chairs”

look mate some of us just like fonts. don’t kinkshame

I would assume Australia would use it to monitor their own seas, rather than the Arctic. They already have a system that watches the sea north of Australia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jindalee_Operational_Radar_Network ), so they have proven experience in the field

Why did they vote in the guy that said “For Ukraine, association with the European Union must become an important stimulus for forming a modern European state,” and that he was going to sign the European Union–Ukraine Association Agreement? That does not seem at all contradictory to me. His sudden U-turn on that was what got the Ukrainian people so pissed at him

Ukrainians already wanted to align with the EU. The US didn’t need to do a damn thing to influence that, a long history of Russian imperialism did it all for them

America spent fuck all on Ukraine in the entire history of its independence up until Euromaidan (pg 167). They simply did not spend “all that money”, because a single digit millions of dollars a year is a rounding error in the US budget. American spending on Ukraine in 2013 was 0.00024% of the federal budget.

If America’s goal was to put Svoboda in power, they didn’t do a very good job of keeping them there, did they?

I have read the Nuland transcript. She’s talking about the existing leader of the opposition. Of course she said Yatsenyuk was the guy, he was the goddamn leader of the opposition. He was the one guy avalable with the best democratic mandate at the last election. Yanukovych even offered to make him prime minister at one point.

Russia put troops into Crimea before the referendum, and the referendum was run by the occupying army. Do you normally trust occupying armies to run referendums about whether or not they should get to keep the land they’re occupying?

Perhaps if Russia was so concerned about casualties in the Donbas, it should not have invaded and caused hundreds of thousands more casualties.

long before Russia went in

There’s a problem with this, because Russia has had troops in Ukraine since early 2014, before Poroshenko’s government
