At least this take is honest about the disregard for human lives as long as it furthers the interests of the US.

Yeah this is what a lot of people have been saying for a while. It is a meaningful difference.

Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic. It doesn’t have bike lanes but you can set a fully pedestrianised city, as emergency vehicles can use footpaths if needed. It also has trains, trams, buses and trolleybuses. Also helicopters, which are cool but impractical most of the time. The public transport line management is pretty in depth too, you can have pick up only spots, spots specific for workers or students, drop off only, or a bunch of other parameters. It’s really good.

It also has resource management, but the difficulty settings are really granular so you can adjust it to however you like.

Whatever, plain old xenophobic hatred then. It’s a good thing pedantry is alive and well.

You can be an ethnic Russian. That’s kind of besides the point though, “racial” boundaries are very often blurred and a hard and fast division of peoples is inherently a generalisation.

Maybe, but this meme is clearly in reference to the restrictions on supplied weapons to Ukraine. The LOTR link I might be reading into a bit much, but the prevalence of the term orc and the trotting out of the Asiatic horde trope made me primed to see it in this.

It’s probably in reference to NATO countries supplying Ukraine with weapons on the provision they are not used in Russian territory. This meme is potentially implying that NATO shouldn’t care about a direct war with Russia.

The reason it would be using LOTR is because DAE Ruzzians is orcs?

But don’t worry, this time the racism against the enemy is justified since they are inherently different, and not even european. They have a completely different outlook on death, and don’t value their own or each other’s lives. Also the same with China.

A good documentary, on the USSR though not modern Russia, is The Human Face of Russia. You can find it on YouTube. It’s Australian as well so it’s interesting seeing a look into the Soviet Union from the point of view of a country that is aligned with the US but without so much Red Scare propaganda.
