    I actually appreciate your wholehearted bewilderment instead of calling everyone a Russian bot. I know a guy in Oregon who just fishes all the time and works shit jobs who wrote an epic series on the Maidan if you ever decide to give a shit about what happened.

    To tell you the truth, I have no confidence any redditor could take the ride he and I took, back to WWII. Back to Stepan Bandera. Back to the Breton Woods conference which began the motions which positioned the US to grasp at total financial, military, technological, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, caloric, you name it we weaponized it economically on a scale the British and other little piddly “empires” could never dream of.

    Back before that, to the development of capitalism itself which was delayed in Germany resulting in its peculiar backward traits. How it indirectly affected the irrationalist philosophers which inspired Hitler.

    There is no hiding the coup in Ukraine slappy. It was well planned. It was heralded with a bipartisan tripartite of congressional emissaries you surely know and love: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bmaakY-PIAc (this video is search blocked on youtube and duckduckgo but is accessible). A paratrooper from north carolina helped orchestrate the false flag attacks at the Maidan. You’d never believe it all. The Russians can’t even believe some of the shit I know about Ukrainian history.

    Did you know Stepan Bandera was assassinated by the KGB with poison gas

      Talking about fishing, those prawn are a succulent gift from the depths that graces the nets of those who trawl Oregon’s bountiful waters. You know, fishing for prawn isn’t simply a matter of hauling them aboard indiscriminately. It’s the patient waiting, the understanding and embracing of nature’s tempo, and the hopeful expectation of a bountiful catch. Then once you’ve caught them they might be lightly sautéed with garlic and butter, capturing the essence of the sea, or they might be the crowning glory of a pasta rich with the flavors of the coast, intertwined with tomatoes, white wine, and herbs that dance upon the palate.
