Good idea. I've heard that nuking cities is a very effective way of forcing a stubborn enemy nation to surrender.

It's also preferable to a prolonged invasion and conventional bombing campaign, simply in terms of number of casualties. The number of people killed by the two nuclear bombings it would take to force Ukraine to surrender would be significantly smaller than the number of casualties incurred by a drawn out conventional invasion.

Seems like the only moral course of action for Putin to take.

Don't forget they also have to say the magic words: "I have been held accountable."

Why not all of the above, and a dedicated idiot to boot?

Educate yourself or shut the fuck up. Otherwise, don't act surprised when you're ridiculed for constantly voicing worthless thoughts.

Lol there's way more of us than there are of you anti-reading shitheads. And of course when I see such aggressive anti-intellectual bullshit, I feel compelled to mock the moron who's lauding the virtues of being moronic.

Marketing lessons, lmao. You certainly have the intellectual depth of a puddle, my guy.

No one gives a shit about how much appeal our posting has for you. We're not trying to sell you anything. We're not even trying to cajole you into being a little less anti-intellectual and wilfully ignorant.

We'd rather just slap you down with a concise well cited historical source, just to make it abundantly clear to everyone else that you're an ignorant intellectually lazy non-entity who has no business getting involved. Stick to your monosyllabic social media communications, replying to the latest Facebook memes, and saying all the classic lines from Reddit.

We're not trying to get you to change, honestly I think you're much more entertaining this way. Only semi-literate and clearly too big for your boots. Please continue.

No you come to social media to jump into threads about complex topics like history, philosophy, and politics...and then engage only thru simple thought-terminating cliches.

When someone quotes a relevant passage from a history book, you arrogantly dismiss it for being completely inappropriate for a "social media" site. What is appropriate here, of course, is you weighing in on these complex topics with the correct form of communication -- an incoherent series of monosyllabic words strung together.

Now that is productive communication.

I wish you luck on your continuing mission to convince yourself that you're the articulate master of communication here, actually.

also lmao, when you end up calling anarchists leninists you are proving us right -- you do need to be educated about the definitions of basic terms.

One graffito attests that visitors had to explore the dark tunnels and painted images by torchlight, making a pun on the visitor's name, Dadouchios (Greek: Δᾳδούχιος) and the Greek: δᾳδοῦχος, translit. daidoukhos, lit. "torch":

Δᾳδούχιος σχολαστικὸς ἰατ(ρὸς) ἦλθον κ(αὶ) ἐθαύμασα καὶ ἄεπος ἦλθα δᾳδοῦχος

I, Dadouchios, scholastikos (and) physician came and admired in silence bearing a torch

Ancient shitposting on the tomb wall.

smh at the products of the American school system

you're replying to someone who said landlords are unnecessary middlemen in the construction of housing. your mocking analogy is "people buying things with credit cards". do you not see how funny a self-own that is?

the landlords are the credit cards in your analogy. people bought things before credit cards existed. people built housing before landlords existed. landlords are as necessary to the building of housing as credit cards are to the buying of toilet paper.

tho I wouldn't be surprised if you thought Buttcoin was necessary for cleaning your shitty ass.
