Haha it's not meant to be a slight against Mads at all. In fact, the man seems like he was genuinely born to play the villain in the vast majority of films that he does, and he nails it every time. He's great at being the bad guy.

NATO, UN, EU... These organizations disguise themselves as "pro-freedom" and "pro-democracy," but they actually aren't.
Countries just need to take care of their own businesses. Period.
Congrats

BASED PUTIN

The news reads: "Ukraine crisis: Russia orders troops into rebel-held regions" and that is a polite way to say that Russian troops are already inside Ukraine borders.
My guess now is that Putin will hold position for years while he starts the "Russialization" process (issuing passports, taking over radio and TV, messing with schools and all that stuff).
I don't believe in a hot conflict, as Putin already won in some way, but who knows.

you are right He already won got everything he wanted. why use force when it could get what it wanted by peaceful means? Donetsk and Luhansk had been seeking entry into the Russian Federation for years.

Aged like milk.
Congrats
Can't say if Valwinzis directly shilling for Russia or just debitating alt-right propaganda, but they are not different things, only varies the degree of involveness and sometimes (I hope so, not to lose all faith in humanity) awareness.
This book comes to discussion each time Russia does something like this: 'The Foundations of Geopolitics: The Geopolitical Future of Russia' - written in 1997, drafted by the Russian Ministry of Defence and that is used as a textbook to higher Russian officials. It sounds like crazy talk and was written by a lunatic but foreshadowed the russian influence in the years to come until now.
Quoting from the article:
And it's not only the US:
From promoting in Europe the far right's discorse and even financing for the purpose of undermining Europe itself to going around investing in every foreign corner of the web.
You can go through the rest of the list in the article and see the progress:
(in progress since 2014 with the second incursion as of now)

I really belived that would be solely a pressure game from Russia, and that's because of the Russian economic challenges, that are kinda big.
I don't think Putin is stupid enough to take the entire country. If he does, he'll have to deal with a huge country, filled with lots of angry people. Things don't just end when you invade and win a war. If he does, there is going to be a lot of terrorist attacks. Holding onto a country tends to be harder than actually invading a country.
Then again, I could always be wrong. lol

Sanctions are ineffective against Russian, but I thought if that of the costs of the invasion itself. There was no significant military costs on Crimea for example. Other thought of mine was the fact that Putin achieved some goals just with the threat itself.
But it is clear that imperialism knows no limits. Sad.

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -
@
SylverReZ:
They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+1 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
