Can we get this number as a percentage of all humans who have ever lived? Seems more impactful that way

Thief_of_Crows ,

Okay, not actually that interesting.

Here's something that is interesting though: In looking it up myself, I discovered that Billion and Trillion are not universal terms, and while in America 1 billion has 9 zeros, in the UK/ parts of EU, it has 12, and from there the number of zeros increases by 6 rather than 3. So 1 trillion in America has 12 zeros, but in Europe it has 18!

USA version (pretty sure also UK version) of million has 6 zeros. Billion is the first to be different

Russian autopsy shows Navalny locked self in Siberian gulag, poisoned self ( www.thebeaverton.com )

"MOSCOW – Officials from the Kremlin, under the close supervision of Russian President Vladimir Putin, have concluded an autopsy of Alexei Navalny, concluding that the recently-deceased opposition leader spontaneously sentenced himself to 30 years in a remote Siberian gulag before then ingesting his own poison that he brought...

Do you know of any legit source that shows it was most likely murder? Not to say I don't believe it, but Innocent until proven guilty, right?

Thief_of_Crows ,

Of course, and I'm happy to believe you. I assume it was intentional, but that's not an assumption based on any facts. Can you show me some facts on which a reasonable person could base an assumption? "Trust me bro" has historically been an awful source.

Right now in America, it is the case that plenty of people aligned with the Democrats have a good reason to want Joe Biden dead. If he were to die suspiciously tomorrow, would it be reasonable to say that it must have been Republicans who did it?

Thief_of_Crows ,

Umm, all the Democrats who want to beat trump, for one. All the ones who hate genocide too. I wasn't saying actively seeking, just prefer dead to not dead.

Thief_of_Crows ,

Uhh, yes, they do. Have you heard of literally any country in South America? Just about every one of them has had a politician murdered by USA.

Or consider Edward Snowden or Julian Assange. If either American hero returned to his home, he would be killed within a month for made up treason. The two countries have a lot more in common than people seem to think.

But my overall point is, can you give me any sort of evidence of foul play beyond "trust me bro"? I am more than willing to believe it, but innocent until proven guilty is the only correct way to do this stuff. This comment thread literally looks exactly like when MAGAs were convinced that Hillary Clinton had murdered Seth Rich (along with a couple others I think), just wild baseless speculation being enforced by the hive mind, evidence be damned.

I'm not moving the goalposts, America does evil shit in a different way than Russia does. There's no reason 2 fruits can't be compared. Like, right now Putin is being nicer to his opponents, due to the genocide America is sponsoring, which is obviously the clear worst possible act. There's also a lot to be said for Russia staying in their lane. Russia goes to war with their neighbor, USA goes to the middle east, on the literal other side of the globe. America will prosecute Donald Trump but assassinate Snowden, Epstein, MLK, etc. Reversing that doesn't seem meaningfully worse to me. One could argue it's better.

Thanks for the breakdown, I follow news, but there sure is a lot of it lately. And especially with American takes on Russia, it is effectively impossible to find reliable news sources beyond literally Reddit, and now even reddit isn't reliable. I don't even trust American News about American news, certainly not Russian.

On #3, that isnt a regular occurrence, right? I mean, I can imagine Biden getting assassinated, and then a month later Congress gets their quarterly bribes. It definitely looks suspicious, but it's actually business as usual.

In #s 1 and 5, that's all post mortem, right? Are the circumstances of the actual death equally suspicious? Cause like, the CIA and FBI worked very hard to cover up their long association with Lee Harvey Oswald, but that doesn't necessarily mean they told him to do it. Do you think it's possible a similar situation could have occured here?

Thief_of_Crows ,

Yes, that was my point. In both situations, it's actually quite easy to compare the 2 sides. Both America and Russia use the playbook "Might makes right". Go ahead and argue that one or the other is worse, there's good arguments for both. But claiming they're incomparable is absurd, unless you're saying it because you think they are too similar to each other to differentiate between. Just like apples and oranges are both medium size, round, sweet fruits with seeds and a reddish-yellow outside. Both groups are essentially the same thing, with a couple intrinsic, but ultimately insignificant, differences.

Does this mean it's still possible that a poop machete or poop katana is viable?

Thief_of_Crows ,

Russia isnt doing a genocide, they're just Fighting a war over land. You can tell by the fact that Putin speaks about Crimeans as if they're equivalent to Russians, while Israel has made it clear they consider all Palestinians to be animals.

Thief_of_Crows ,

His genocide makes all of that irrelevant. Would you vote for hitler just because he had good tax policies?

Thief_of_Crows ,

I'm still gonna vote for him over the genocider in chief.

The best case scenario of letting Meta in is neutrality. Far more likely is then actively destroying stuff. Remember, their motto is move fast and break things

Thief_of_Crows ,

Do Americans feel heat differently or something?

Thief_of_Crows ,

Being pro Palestine but anti Hamas is like being pro beef but anti slaughtering cows. Hamas is the means Palestine has to force Israel to quit their genocide, disavowing them is the same as being pro Israeli genocide.
