2148 - Everyone realizes they were in a dream within a dream.

2149-Everyone realizes that they are really words on a screen.

And the bees are coming back.

Euromaidan. Vietnam was a war that we never should have quit IMO

Because you get kicks out of supporting an anti-communist dictatorship and watching the reputation of the US Army as a humane force get absolutely ripped to shreds? There were two ways to decisively win the war (invade North Vietnam or make South Vietnam a lot less corrupt and a lot more democratic/free) and thanks to various factors against us (war crimes making everything worse) we lost. Honestly, it would have been better had not a single US soldier arrived in Vietnam.

Scrambled eggs or fried eggs?

Fried.

Victory fever, or defeat syndrome?

Advise him in such a way that everything would end up exactly the way they did in this timeline, if I couldn't make him a good guy that is.

If anything you should have told him "enact Operation Sealion!" and watch the absolutely biblical disaster happen.

If you had to choose a single currently existing weapon for use to defend yourself against a determined police assault?

A MOAB.

If you were naked in the streets of Vienna?

Banned because I actually agree.

2146 - People wake up and find out that they had the first species-wide shared dream, that it lasted for a whole year, and that for some reason it was all about super-sized bees.

2147-Everyone realizes it wasn't a dream, and they're in the afterlife.

That the US was running the show behind the scenes with the opposition?

Not at all. They were most likely just discussing their preferred political candidate. In no way, shape, or form did they ever suggest or imply that they were puppeteers.

Your blog (which is a far cry from a source like CNN, BBC, or Reuters) is likely just a right wing fanatic who is disgruntled by the current administration.

Yanukovich being an asshole does not stop the coup being a coup. Two separate things and two wrongs don't make a right.

 

A smoking gun? No, it's more like a CCTV snapshot of the bullet leaving the barrel...

 

Regards

It was more like a revolution than a straight up coup.

What did your video "prove" again?

Would turn it down. Not worth it.

If you were forced to be an advisor to Hitler from 1933 to his death (keep in mind that you can't harm him, unfortunately)?

Caffeine.

Being a frontline protester at Euromaidan, from the beginning to end, or an anti Vietnam War protester (also from beginning to end).

Banned because it was supposed to be a running gag that I suck at spelling.

M&Ms!

Getting teeth pulled out, or hair pulled out (that means EVERY tooth and hair strand)?

Banned for being a moron when it comes to spelling. (it's quite possible to be fired from most jobs for spelling like that)

Banned because it wjs a joke.

2144 - Scientists discovered that fried alien locusts are actually a massively powerful aphrodisiac in late 2141, and they are put on trial for not telling anyone. The locusts continue to be fried and eaten by all parties involved.

2145-Alien bees (ten billion trillion) the size of a car swarm over Earth and simply suffocate the world, due to how many there are.

I I'm really pissed right now.

 

Regarding the timing - do you the intercept of Nuland's phone call to Geoff Pyatt before the final coup on Maidan in February?

 

KIvRljAaNgg

 

 

"Yats", "Klich"? She clearly is in charge and is instructing the Ambassador to just go and tell the Ukrainians who will and who will not be in the government. Oh, and of course, "fuck the EU"

 

Regards

What does this prove now? Is this your "smoking gun"? That's pretty low for evidence.

Also love how you're calling Maidan a coup when Yanukovich was abusing power and being a dick to everyone.

2142 - The human race discovers that alien locusts taste delicious when fried.

2143: Anyone who has consumed locusts turns into a sexual predator.

(I don't even...)

The new government is a good sign in my opinion and it shows already the results of cooperation between the US and Iran on this issue. Let's hope it will last.

 

Regards

I'm not too optimistic. Reuters is reporting quite a bit of killings and other misdeeds by Shia militias. Let's just hope.

I'm glad you like it!

Nice to know I've at least made you happy.

Seriously, yes, this is my working hypothesis. Not strictly speaking a "puppet regime" in the sense that they only do what they are told by the US DoS but I'm 100% sure that the US exerts strong influence on the key people in the government, in the armed forces and among the "oligarchy".

 

Regards

They're just beginning to and will continue to for as long as Russia drives forward, but before? Not at all. TBH, They might just cut ties with the US if they perceive an immanent "Western Betrayal" scenario.

Not after. At best - simultaneously, but most likely even before the February coup in Kiev.

 

We know that the State Department was directly shaping and instructing the future interim government even months before the coup happened. The 5 billion dollars which Nuland admitted the US (officially) spent on "democracy" in Ukraine is a lot of money and it buys you a lot in a country where power is concentrated in a very small group of people, so you can be sure your "advice" will be listened to, when needed.

 

I have no reasons to believe that the Department of Defense did not establish the necessary connections ahead of time in a similar, if a bit more clandestine fashion.

 

Regards

Another stellar conspiracy theory. You're basically trying to tell me that Euromaidan was staged and that the current government in Ukraine is a US puppet. That is really, really, stupid.

Well, there was plenty of that in Europe and the US before the WWII (even as he and Stalin were negotiating on their non-aggression pact. The irony of politics...).

 

Regards

Except I mean officially. In any case we should talk about Syria in the Syria thread, but oh well. I won't try to stop you.

http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/09/08/world/middleeast/destroying-isis-may-take-3-years-white-house-says.html?_r=0

Piss. This won't be easy.

EDIT: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-29119258

No, it's not that he was a smuggler but the Estonians are saying he was a special agent investigating cross-border smuggling.

Oh. I just hope he gets out soon.

Even Western media is talking about the US providing Ukraine with intelligence support, military training and advice as already de facto taking place.

 

Regards

After Russia carved out two pieces of Ukraine and is now invading it.

But you cannot do anything about ISIS without suppressing them in Syria as well. The only alternative is for the US to go into Syria without Assad's agreement and the fight on two fronts there. Do you think they will do that?

 

Regards

No, but it is thte better option. Associating ourselves with Assad would be like supporting Hitler because he was an anti communist.

There are no US advisors in or near Ukraine.

 

Oh. What makes you think so?

I've heard about this too. Probably disrupted some local smugglers operation and they pulled their strings with the authorities. Or could it be a revenge for Obama's tour of Tallinn? Time will tell, but I don't envy that Kohver guy, anyway...

 

Regards

Where have people been getting yhe idea that there are US advisors in Ukraine? RT. Or Russian vlogs. Yeah, I think I'll take that idea with a grain of salt. And as for that Estonian guy, that's pretty horrible. There hasn't been an indication yet that he was a smuggler, as far as I can tell.

2140 - Fifty percent of the human population spontaneously combusts.

Whoa! Did we just walk into the SCP universe?

2141: Satellite suddenly disappears. Becomes the precursor to a hideous swarm of alien locusts.

(you know, just to hop on the fucked up train of horror)
