Later today, it will be revealed that this is a gimmick for the launch of the new Korean boyband Martial Boys
Who’s ready for the next infectious disease pandemic?
Wait until someone tells Trump how much money can be made from anti-virus injections - He will get the notion to release a deadly disease every few months
Well, fuck.
Good thing the CDC is going to on the sidelines.
Why not, right wing populism on the rise, idiotism on the rise, the world is on fire and global instability the highest since the Cold War. Multiple Flash Points, multiple major wars. We just need China now to invade Taiwan and it would look like a proper apocalypse novel.
So why not another global pandemic to bring the Evangelists out to proclaim it is the End of Days. Honestly, considering all that is happening, you might not even have to be an evangelist.
I have mostly given up when it comes to this and the next decade. I have said before, that i think a shitstorm is coming. So I almost just find this tragicomic if this develops into a global pandemic. I mean, what can you do but watch in horror ? After a while, having watching horror for too long, you become blasè and shrug.
I’m pretty fucking pessimistic really, but I guess that is not news.
@cynicaloldgit I need some of that positive and hopeful energy of yours, to inject into my veins.

*Mixed feelings after the presidential elections in Romania were annulled by the court. *
The plus side: the first democratic country to take active measures against proven Russian interference in the electoral process. Sets an example for others in Europe to follow. The next step is to successfully prosecute Georgescu and the organizers of his network of influence.
The negative side: mars the democratic process in Romania and the trust in the institutions of the system. Places new uncertainties as to how the nationalist part of the electorate (it’s around 30% from the parliamentary elections) will respond, both in terms of violent protests and voting behavior (will the nationalists rally around Simion as the main nationalist candidate).

I wonder sometimes about the training involved to make people good at pushing others out of a window in a discreet manner. They must talk about it at least, in the police and in the FSB and GRU. I wonder if they physically train for it. Just my morbid curiosity, I suppose.
It does appear to be a favorite method of execution. Falling out of a window. So unimaginative. Still, it’s a bit of a signature move in Russia.
That’s what it is supposed to be, I think. A calling card.
It serves a purpose. It creates fear.
They should invest and live in a bungalow
