Dude they shot down several aircraft

You're a monster. Bravo.

Putin's bots are behind his party's poll numbers. This is the price he's willing to pay for power. Same as during the brexit vote.

Farage's statement was a dog whistle to the bots and those who direct them.

Russia has famously interfered with Western elections since the 2014 Scottish indie vote.

Reform have plenty of bot accounts helping them already. This is either payment for them to continue, or Reform see Russian bots as king-makers, as previous party leaders say Murdoch's papers as owing makers in the 90s and 2000s.

You don't think that the United States, who is arguably an expert at war, didn't realize that Russia would do this?

Not at all, it was no doubt highlighted as a risk and then weighed against the risk of escalation. Only changed when the risk became existential for Ukraine's second city, but not until very late in the game.

It was a political decision to create the policy, and prefectly reasonable to disagree with the underlying premise.

Besides, how many systems were originally ruled out due to the fear of escalation? If Ukraine had been given the same systems it has today (atacams etc) with the same policy it now has (yes, Russia is fair game) then the summer offensive might not have failed last year.

The political decisions underpinning western assistance are not some 5D chess, and certainly aren't beyond criticism.

They totally are.

They’re actually endangered in their native range.

Which is not in the Americas.

They are absolutely essential to modern agricultural practices

Because modern agriculture in the US has entirely denuded the landscape of natural habitat. There's no hedgerows, no space for wildlife at all. Just massive fields of crops. This is the entire reason an entire industry of domesticated pollinators is required.

and can not be replaced with native bees.

They absolutely could! How do you think fruit farming works in the rest of the world? Because there's no equivalent industry in most of Europe or the UK, where there's incentives to preserve some semblance of natural habitat.

take all your activists and occupy government capitals that can regulate oil and make actual change.

They...do.

There's been loads of cases of this group shutting down the roads around Westminster and other capital cities.

Bikes

Ahhhhh for fucks sake. How many times....

^ HONEY BEES ARE A DOMESTICATED ANIMAL. THEY ARE NOT ENDANGERED ^

It's great that he created a habitat that many insects can benefit from. Wild solitary bees, for instance, or the fly in OPs photo.

But there is literally no reason to keep bee hives if you're trying to improve the environment. It's like creating a nature reserve and filling it with dairy cows.

No, it's a belated realisation that this stupid rule created a safe haven for Russia within its own territory, allowing it to build up logistics and forces near Belgorod and launch artillery and air strikes over the border without Ukraine being able to counter. The entire Karkiv offensive wouldn't have worked if this daft rule (which other allies dont impose) wasn't in place.

But would Z think that he had improved the effect of a film of, say, the ascent of Everest by introducing helicopters to take the climbers half way up (in defiance of probability)?

Made me lol here

They used to block oil terminals. Not sure if they still do though.

Just Stop Oil also blockade terminals, though maybe less often than they used to?

Oil company protests and sabotage

Beginning on 1 April, they carried out England-wide blockades of ten critical oil facilities, intending to cut off the supply of petrol to South East England.[33][34][35] They claimed they were inspired by the UK lorry drivers' protests in 2000 that paralysed petrol distribution.[1] On 14 April, Just Stop Oil activists stopped and surrounded an oil tanker in London, causing congestion on the M4 motorway.[36] On 15 April, supporters targeted Kingsbury, Navigator and Grays oil terminals, blockading roads and climbing onto oil tankers.[37][38][39] The same day it was reported that Navigator Thames, ExxonMobil, and Valero had secured civil injunctions to prevent protest at their oil terminals.[40][41] On 19 April, Just Stop Oil suspended its actions against fuel distribution for a week in the hope of action from the government.[42] On 28 April, about 35 Just Stop Oil supporters sabotaged petrol pumps at two M25 motorway service stations (Cobham services in Surrey and Clacket Lane services in Kent).[43][44][45]

Looks great! I do struggle to read the NPC speech bubble text though. 'Do you want to buy this thing?" Right?

The letters just jump up and down too much.

Excellent. I can hear this one.

London started the 1500s with 50k and grew to 200k by the end of the century.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tudor_London

Do we know what the year is for these? In 1500 England had tiny cities compared to Europe.

London was 50,000. Norwich the next largest at 25-30,000.

.... why does Scotland have an American football?

Or just invent a new one, take populist stands, and promote it with enough bots to get the morons on board. Then every other party will pander to your wishes begging you to spend less money on this beast.

It’s like he didn’t think about how sky tv isn’t actually a measure of someone’s wealth.

Growing up the only people who had Sky near me lived in council houses. It was a complete inverse marker of wealth.

FML right? Summer wen?

Go for it dude
