Surprised Roar87 isn't in here saying how actually Crimea should be Russian and Taiwan has been part of China all along.

There aren't large parts of Eastern Ukraine that speak Russian and want to be part of Russia? You do understand that can be true and you can also disagree with Putin invading? Imagine having nuanced views of complex issues

Funny they didn't vote to remain part of Russia in 1991. Even in 2014 the majority of the population in the eastern provinces didn't want reunification with Russia. So where is your evidence to back up the statement bolded? The minority don't get to dictate to the majority.

Putin: "now that we've killed pro Ukraine citizens and pushed out the others, simple minded people will claim that this region wants to be part of Russia"

Putins General: "but sir, people are surely smarter than that and know that we've killed the half that was against us."

Putin: "don't under estimate the stupidity of the West"

I have to say every Ukraine I have met have hated Russia, even just bringing it up every now and again. They were really not happy about Chernobyl

And this was decades before this crap.

Elon Musk says his teenage daughter doesn't want to be associated with him because of what he calls 'full-on communism' taught in schools and widespread hatred of the wealthy

Musk, who has nine children, told the Financial Times that he has "very good relationships with all the others. Can't win them all."

Elon Musk blames what he views as a societal hatred for the wealthy as the reason behind his fractured relationship with his teenage daughter.

During a recent interview for the Financial Times' "Lunch with the FT" series, Musk shared his views on a range of topics, Donald Trump's social network and his current political leanings. While Musk described his views as moderate, he lamented what he sees as the negative impact of liberal politics on society, particularly their effect on elite universities.

Those ideals, which he described as communist, are behind his estrangement from his teenage daughter, he said.

"It's full-on communism ... and a general sentiment that if you're rich, you're evil," Musk told the FT.

Appeasement is far more likely to result in nuclear war (if nuclear threats work to gain land then it's game over anyway), but it's easier to live in the immediate safety than it is to ensure it.

Sure but then he can't use "I said kill the Jews" as a defense.

Where as now it just feels like Elon is trying to be subtle and encourage a ban. Obviously it shouldn't make any difference to the purchase, but it is odd timing, Elon comes out that he will after all, buy twitter, and then he posts the turd that he has.

Maybe he's buying it so he can't get banned.
