Because of Russia’s vast geography and relatively limited waterway access, it’s better to think of their different fleets almost as individual smaller navies.
Especially in the context of the Black Sea fleet and Turkey’s ability to restrict access of military vessels through Bosporus and Dardanelles Straits because of the Montreux Convention.
So to answer your question under that more narrow scope, I believe it’s roughly 20% of the Black Sea fleet has been destroyed.
That becomes moot when it’s war, and the coverage in question is about the internal political situation of the people they are currently fighting. The same applies to any country at war, and their domestic press coverage of their opposing force, or country.
Does this mean I should use AJ to source credible information on internal Israeli politics? How about Russia Today for reporting on Ukrainian morale?
Seriously, stop posting wartime propaganda and pretending it’s credible journalism.
I don’t know, I feel it brings something…a bit of good cheer and comic relief, which is always needed when discussing…checks notes… Ah yes, colonial settler violence, indigenous displacement, and ethnic cleansing.
The judge was the literal child of Uganda. Because she displeased his parents (Uganda), they disowned her. They even disinvited her from all upcoming family birthday parties and witch burnings.
Or maybe they meant distanced,* like it says in article. I don’t know, pick whichever version of events you prefer, that’s what I always do.
- Uganda distanced itself Friday from Julia Sebutinde…
Seeing as these all flow down from my original response, I’m pretty sure it’s you who doesn’t understand the context of the conversation.
Also, the torture in question wasn’t the execution method. So again, I suggest you re-read the comment thread.
The decades are a function of the appeals processes; some mandatory, and others initiated by inmates.
I’m not sure fast tracking the process would be an improvement…
You realize that my questions were rhetorical, right?
Re-read the comment chain, maybe you meant to reply to someone else?
So if I’m sentenced to 20 years for first degree murder, is the fear and terror I feel over losing my freedom the state torturing me?
What about if my doctor’s office refuses to give me my diagnosis over the phone on a Friday, and tells me I have to wait for an office appointment on Monday. Is that torture? Should I file a legal complaint or try to get charges pressed?
You’re conflating internal agony and anticipatory fear, with actual externally applied methods of torture.
I understand what point you’re trying to make, but words have meaning and if everything is torture, then how bad can torture really be?
I disagree that a painless execution is torture, even if I understand where you’re coming from.
My objection to capital punishment isn’t because I don’t believe some people deserve death.
My objection is simply that innocent people are convicted all the time, but at least unjust incarceration is situation that can be reversed.
Please don’t give this dipshit attention to these types of press stunts.
No, he will never do this and the only value here for him is people talking about it. That’s it, so don’t.
Setting aside the national shame that capital punishment is, regardless of the method used, they strapped his face with a mask. He wasn’t in a pod as nitrogen levels rose. He was force fed the gas with a mask that prevented him from “breathing” normally.
It’s not surprising that Germany is lacking these supplies as their military procurement is… incompetent, or rather, it’s a complex web of insane bureaucracy, poor decision-making, and political interference, all under the understandably long shadow of two World Wars and the Third Reich.
But the Leopard II is a hugely popular export model, so I’m a bit surprised that they can’t source parts for repair from NATO members and other allied countries that operate it. Many of which have their own licensed domestic production lines and supply chains to support them.
You realize that gig economy is the neoliberal slang for a poverty class work, but without the rights of workers, right?
So you’re criticizing people who are forced by the system in which we live, to be ordered around by a fucking algorithm, and then take abuse from people who have enough money to NOT work in the gig economy, but no where near enough to actually own the servant class they get off on abusing.
The implication is that Apple’s language is very specifically implying this is a fee-for-service product, but that they are waiving that cost for a defined time period. They may extend that again, or several more times, but they are going out of their way to NOT say it’s just free, or simply an included feature e.g. FindMy.
If their intent was to have it be an included service, they would NOT include the language about how long it will remain free.
The only context to view their language (extending free year) is that they intend to switch to some form of a paid model i.e bundled or standalone.
I’m not commenting on whether that’s good, or bad, just that it’s clearly what they are planning on doing. Otherwise, they wouldn’t use that specific language.
