  • very much doubt the US will enter Ukraine

    US JSOC troops have been fighting in Ukraine since before the Russian invasion. The first month of the war saw a sudden uptick in US special forces killed in training accidents and new unnamed stars going up on the walls of the CIA lobby in Langley. Same shit happened in the month following Oct 7 and Gaza.

    At the bare minimum Green Berets have been deployed the entire time attached to Ukrainian units as "advisors". None of it is a controversy or escalation because the US has JSOC special operations soldiers and CIA paramilitary soldiers doing black ops shenanigans in most conflict zones around the globe. They are like cockroachs.

  • No reason to use ketamine unless you are in the process of intubating them or they have woken up during surgery. Putting someone on a breathing machine happens in a hospital environment not on a sidewalk done by an EMT. Ketamine at high doses is a powerful dissociative (forces mind to switch to 3rd person view) used by anesthesiologists when someone becomes conscious during traumatic procedures. Like when someone wakes up while surgeons have their chest opened up or they need to be woken while intubated on a breathing machine. Causes what would be an extremely traumatic experience to become an out of body experience that a person will likely dismiss should they even remember it.

  • The US kill-death ratio is also telling.

    During the Global War on Terror less than ten thousand US citizens killed in the conflict but around a million Afghans and Iraqis directly killed along with around 4 million people across the region indirectedly killed. Even the Vietnam war was something like 40,000 US citizens killed in exchange for around 3 million killed on the Vietnamese side. Hell... the US kill-death ratio in the World War 2 Pacific theater, some of the most brutal fighting the US has engaged in, was only 70,000 US citizens killed in exchange for 2.5 million Japanese soliders and somewhere around 1 million Japanese civilians killed.

    The US has amazing kill-death ratios across all its wars excluding its civil war when busy fighting among itself. It's disgusting really. The US will lose a few thousand while killing millions on the other side. Even in total war engagements the US loses thousands while the other combatants lose many millions. Since 1775 the US has only lost around 650,000 even when including both the US civil war and World War 2.

    People always make the mistake of assuming during colonial adventures the US is doing anything other than smashing everything up (immediately wiping out the opposing military) then sitting back and milking any insurgency for as long as it is profitable to maintain a low intensity conflict. The US has really only ever fought two conflicts on a total-war footing (Civil War, World War 2) but managed to have hundreds of colonial adventures and so-called police actions throughout its entire history. For most of its history the US has been fighting one or more military actions somewhere, starting with westward expansion across North American then the so-called banana-wars advancing US corporate interests across Latin America and various colonial or cold war adventures across the entirety of the eastern hemisphere.

  • Only group that has at all times been "white" since whiteness and "race science" were pioneered somewhere around the 1600s are English people of Britain. They pioneered the idea to explain why behavior of the British empire was actually the natural order of things and a just cause.

    There were points where pale ass groups like the Irish and Germans weren't white while darker skinned Europeans like the Spanish and Portuguese were. Ofc European nobility were always white even when the commoners of their nations weren't.

  • Not an embassy. Iran has made it clear that should the US push too far their plan is to start blowing up the hundreds of billions of dollars of US industrial infrastructure (oil, refineries, docks, etc) in the Gulf region and North Africa. Most of those state oil companies have their infrastructure owned and operated by US companies like Exxon who then cut them a percentage of the profits.

  • Yeah, it was carfentanil. The large animal veterinary formulation used to anesthetize elephants and rhinoceroses. Carfentanil has 20 to 100 the potency of fentanyl, which is why whenever idiots steal some from veterinary supplies cities end up with an uptick in overdoses.

  • Yeah. It has to be formulated differently for both gaseous and transdermal applications. Fentanyl is infact available as a transdermal patch that absorbs through the skin.

    In addition to this it's been used for decades in gaseous formulation as general anesthesia during surgery. General anesthesia is what a majority of pharmaceutical fentanyl gets used for and it's fentanyl that tends to be what kills people when anesthesiologist fuck up. Famously Russian special forces used the general anesthesia formulation of fentanyl to gas a theater during a hostage situation and ended up killing a bunch of hostages.

  • In the US they tend to be so indoctrinated on the ideology of rugged individualism (owe nothing to society, thus owed nothing) that concepts like martyrdom are just meaningless words they read in religious text. Extremely ironic because it's a concept that is near universal to all religions.

  • My account is almost 20 years old, tens of thousands of comments, and has millions karma. From what other people have said, it seems 400,000 comment karma or higher puts you in top 75,000.

    Was active for years on certain hobby and technical subreddits, although a few years ago all those subreddits have gone from hundreds of thousands of subscribers with thousands of active users to ghost towns. Site really did go to shit for the only stuff it was actually useful for.

  • Normally when an industrialized nation enters a war-time footing there is a shifting of industrial capacity and increase in production to supply the war effort. That the opposite has happened is further evidence of Israel being nothing more than a colonial outpost of greater powers. They don't have the industrial capacity and infrastructure of a real nation-state, instead relying on the economic output of the US, EU, and Russia to prop them up.

  • Symptoms of social alienation. Surrounded by people but all alone in an atomized society. No meaningful connections to form, a social contract where by default we owe no one and no one owes us. Social structures and communities we exist in rather than belonging to. Outside an isolated nuclear family every relationship is one where we are meant to be in competition rather than cooperation. Why not become a ghost in a society like this one, especially when one lacks the antisocial/psychopathic and narcissistic traits it rewards?

  • The interactions of negative vs positive freedoms is something rarely discussed in the west. The freedom to something or the freedom from something. Hell, they see concepts like being bound to family, community, and society as oppression because apparently being atomized into a lone individual who inherently is owed nothing and owes nothing is true freedom.

    I swear this is why you see people in the US always "searching for meaning" in their lives. Alone and atomized. Not belonging to an extended family, community, and society around them, owing nothing thus owed nothing and vice versa. They want rights with no responsibilities.

  • That Prius driver in Florida that went John Wick on a Republican politician that decided to shoot at him during a road rage incident? DNC should hire him and create a drill team of professional duelists on retainer.

  • This is the USA where dueling involved firearms and there was never much of a dueling culture centered around swords/rapiers. Although it's a lot less deadly with muskets that couldn't hit shit and I for one welcome politicians blowing each other away with modern firearms. Infact, I suggest this law require the use of Glock 18C machine pistols for maximum carnage.
