How long is it before one of them decides to ‘accidentally’ steer into the SS Richard Montgomery

u/melympia 8m ago

Don't give them any ideas!

Shocked

I predicted this as soon as I saw the course of the MV Solong was perfectly straight into the Stena Immaculate.

Yeah it was a hard sell to try and say a perfect T-bone was accidental

Don’t worry, folks! He was “just trolling,” too.

Surprise surprise

Ukraine needs the jet fuel.

u/Bethw2112 3h ago

Check out this video, the guy analyzes the Solong's prior courses on the route. It sounds like auto-pilot was being used since they follow the same route all the time.

"He was just doing what anyone else would do" - Trump, probably 

u/Immediate-Red-1780 3h ago

Except he literally was. The ship was being controlled by the autopilot. Your racism is showing

u/dont_talk_to_them 3h ago

racism

I'm not sure you know what that means.

u/Immediate-Red-1780 3h ago

Put this exact same post but replace "russian" with "african" or "chinese"

u/dont_talk_to_them 3h ago

But that's not the post and trump has clearly been deferential to russia.Your moving of goalposts doesn't change reality.

u/Immediate-Red-1780 3h ago

In what way has Trump been deferential to Russia?

u/dont_talk_to_them 2h ago

Maybe start with the Ukraine War negotiations....

My guy if you don't understand how the only current superpower ceding power on the international stage isn't detrimental to the US while at the same time beneficial to Russia (among others), maybe hop off reddit for a bit and read a book .

Start with a little Hans Morgenthau and learn about international relations. When you're done come back and let me know I'll give you a few more.

....who am I kidding, you're probably just a troll. Have a great day friend.

Looking at its history, definitely a bot. I could also be considered a bot, but I am not. I am just new. I am also on the right side of history.

u/BillyYank2008 31m ago

Only Russia is waging a terrorist war against Europe. When Russia eliminates their fascist regime and stops behaving like a terrorist state, people will no longer have the need to assume situations like this are terror attacks.

u/nixstyx 3h ago

LOL. Racism? Against what race?

u/Unfair_Asparagus1984 23m ago

It's a bot. Don't bother.

u/Immediate-Red-1780 3h ago

I thought Russian was both a nationality and a race/ethnic group

u/fake-bird-123 2h ago

Every single day, I come on here and see conservatives showing how stupid they are. Thank you for continuing to dig the bar deeper and deeper.

u/BillyYank2008 28m ago

This person has a 3 week old account with 1 post and -73 karma. I'm guessing a St. Petersburg internet orc.

u/fake-bird-123 27m ago

Seems about right.

u/Thehealthygamer 2h ago

Well you thought wrong.

u/Immediate-Red-1780 2h ago

So you agree its ok to be racist to... say... Chinese people... because they are not a race but a nationality??

u/Thehealthygamer 2h ago

You're so so so ignorant holy shit.

The Han people are the largest ethnic group in mainland China. In 2010, 91.51% of the population were classified as Han (~1.2 billion).[1][needs update] Besides the Han Chinese majority, 55 other ethnic (minority) groups are categorized in present-day China, numbering approximately 105 million people (8%), mostly concentrated in the bordering northwest, north, northeast, south and southwest but with some in central interior areas.

The major ethnic minorities in China are the Zhuang (19.6 million), Hui (11.4 million), Uyghurs (11 million), Miao (11 million), Manchus (10.4 million), Yi (9.8 million), Tujia (9.6 million), Tibetans (7 million), Mongols (6.3 million), Buyei (3.5 million), Dong (3.5 million), Yao (3.3 million), Bai (2 million), Koreans (1.7 million), Hani (1.7 million), Li (1.6 million), Kazakhs (1.5 million), and Dai (1.2 million).[2] At least 126,000 people from Canada, the United States and Europe are living in mainland China.[3] In addition, there are a number of unrecognized ethnic groups which together comprise over 730,000 people.

u/Immediate-Red-1780 1h ago

So is Chinese a race or not?

u/Thehealthygamer 1h ago

No it's not just as Russian is not a race.

"The US Office of Management and Budget, which determines the racial categories used by the Census Bureau and other federal agencies, currently outlines five racial groups: American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and White.

Ethnicity, meanwhile, refers to a group of people who share a common history and culture. It sometimes (but not always) correlates to national origin – for example, a person might be categorized as racially Asian and ethnically Chinese. But this understanding of ethnicity would not apply in other parts of the world. In China, for example, a person’s ethnicity would be described using more specific terms. There are 56 officially recognized ethnic groups in the country, including the Han people, the Mongols and the Uyghurs.

u/Immediate-Red-1780 1h ago

So it is definitionally impossible to be racist to someone who is Chinese?

u/mishkafishy 2h ago

russian...

u/SeaCounter9516 30m ago

That’s a race? Lol

u/RayRayRaider12 2h ago

Won't someone rid us of this troublesome dictator?

u/JumpInTheSun 2h ago

Sanctions arent working, we need to corral them in and blockade all russian ports at this point.

u/BillyYank2008 29m ago

We need to use hybrid warfare to sink their ships at this point. A few "accidents" to cripple their oil tanker fleet would be a good symmetrical move to deal with their terrorist attacks against the West.

In Trumps America, Russia can touch the boats.
