The Mosin is actually a really decent, accurate weapon system. Under perfect conditions, on a nice sunny range, it's a lot of fun to shoot. In combat? Rifle invented in 1891, last produced in 1973 with a 5 round magazine that a talented user can get off about 20 rounds per minute, against the IPI Malyuk (basically a Klashnikov, modernised and reconfigured for bullpup firing action) that after five days training can fairly accurately and consistently spit out 600 odd rounds a minute... What could possibly go wrong?

I can't believe anyone is letting all these russian runaways into their country. Putin can use any made-up oppression of those nationals as a pretext for invasion.

Can I have input from someone less relentlessly miserable? With citations, if possible. Citations are all over the news. That's what's happening and the rhetoric that's coming out of the Kremlin. How it will play out is always going to be speculation.

I have a hankering to play Company of Heroes 2 all of a sudden. I tried to play world in conflict in April or may. Couldn't stomach it. Loved the game a decade ago. But hit too close to reality.

I actually reinstalled it in the summer holidays, yeah it was a bit too real but I only stopped playing because it was far too hot to play anything.

Ergh our twat PM was always shit at being the foreign secretary and she used her first time on the international stage at the UN to say she'd review potentially moving the UK embassy to Jerusalem. Only just learnt this from a BBC article published about an hour ago. I mean a review doesn't mean it will be moved but it's incredibly dumb to even mention it would be reviewed.

Rumour mill in overdrive as Xi Jin Ping is rumoured to be under house arrest and General Li Qiaoming now in charge. China is silent on the matter. Could be nothing but could be something serious.

Doesn't sound legit. Someone reputable would have reported it by now.

Just makes the mind boggle how huge swathes of people can switch preference so suddenly to people with completely different views. I really struggle with the concept of swing voters, and especially ones who vote in far-right nutjobs.

I disagree, when your country is in the shit and the current people in government show absolutely no stability and you have no money and can't find a job and someone comes along peddles a bunch of answers to incredibly complex problems, then yeah I can totally see why people vote for this shit. TBF it's not as if Italy doesn't have form with racism and homophobia.
I mean look at our country which has continually lapped up the shit the Tories have served to us and told us it's honey. For 12 fucking years.

Politics is partly local as well. I know plenty of people who vote for their local MP because they do a good job (or seem like they're doing a good job) for the local electorate. It's not necessarily because they love the party they're a part of.

Italy's most far-right leader since Mussolini, apparently.
'Cause yeah, that ended well.
Fuck's sake.

The "partial" mobilisation seems as popular as the Pound, drafting centres have been burnt out too. The video isn't graphic and is at a distance but does show a shooting.

For 12 fucking years. In this specific case, the problem is also that the left couldn't form a decent coalition. And that's entirely on them. The upside is that coalitions aren't usually that strong, so I'm not expecting this government to last the full five years. I just hope I get hired in the new job before any budgeting shit starts happening.

Ahhh, shit dude. Hope it works out for you. I mean, it very probably will. This thing has been going on for a while and I doubt they are gonna change anything at this point. Most likely the budget has been already assigned last year even. Nonetheless, this is still the kinda situation you wouldn't want to see happening during a potentially delicate moment (and neither at any other time, of course, but now in particular).
