You could do that in Sim City 4, and Sims 3 had the whole “Open World” system with the option for all the sims to live their lives in real-time without you playing with them.

It’s posadas time!

Xi is now a lulist?!

Actually it was President Rutherford B. Hayes who removed Federal Troops from the South and ended Reconstruction.

Apparently, in the end of the manga/anime/movie Sailor Moon makes everyone on the planet immortal in the future. Except for the people who live on the planet Nemesis.

One of the good thing that came out of the Ukraine War was the fact Russia and the DPRK have got really close since both got sanctioned. I guess it means Russia can do trade normally with the DPRK.

What’s most likely is that Russia will install a puppet regime as part of the terms of surrender.

I remember reading in some Western newspaper that Russia wanted an interim government with Viktor Yanukovych as its leader. But I doubt that this was more than just anti-Russian propaganda. I believe Yanukovych is unpopular in Ukraine, and if they had a plan to set up a puppet government, it would probably just be a pro-Russian general.

No, Bolsonaro refused to accept defeat, he tried everything to reverse the election results. Until the Army, the Air Force and the neoliberal Ghouls told him to accept defeat. Even so, he still tried to stage a coup in the government on January 8th.

And unlike in the US, there was an actual document that the military wanted Lula to sign in order to order the army to take over the government. It’s a bit like the one they made Pedro Castillo sign, but it’s not the same thing.

Lula decided not to sign and chose to use his powers as president to intervene in state security and order the police to repress and arrest the Bolsonaro supporters. And so they ended up being arrested, forced to shower and vaxxed.

He did, but he got “sick” and went to a hospital. Then he saw the medical bill, then he got healthy again really fast after that, and his visa expired so he had to return to Brazil. And some weeks later he lost his political rights until 2030 (He lost it two times, now he can’t run in 2030, which means his rights will only return in 2034).

Ukraine should surrender? I have no idea what 1944 Germany could mean besides losing to the War.

Without Brazil’s support, Venezuela would have a hard time invading Guyana. I agree with what @CascadeOfLight@hexbear.net said, Venezuela will try to win the support of the people living in Essequiba with aid and other things. And Guyana cannot and will not respond militarily to that. I think in the end both will agree to co-administer the territory and wait for a UN referendum.

Iirc there were Russian and Cuban soldiers in Venezuela during the attempted coup against Maduro by Guaido and the Bay of Piglets. No idea if China would support Venezuela, but China said this: Wang Wenbin, Chinese spokesperson, says he “supports Venezuela and Guyana” in the Essequibo dispute because “both are good friends.”

I think Brazil will de-escalate the situation.

There are some other news outlets but they are mostly in spanish and some in portuguese (if you want to read about Brazil)

This conflict is about more than just “distracting people”. Guyana reportedly wanted to build US military bases around its border with Venezuela. Since the US can’t use Colombia or Brazil to launch a ground invasion of Venezuela, it wants to use Guyana in exchange for money and oil exploitation.

Also, Guyana has never cared about this territory, which is why the native peoples who live there tried to join Venezuela in 1968.

There has been no official report of mobilization. As another user said, Venezuela is going to administer the land as if it were its own. This would force Guyana to respond militarily, which it cannot do, or to go to the international court to resolve the issue.

even if donald shart “removed democracy” what would change?

Nothing really, the real reason why most liberals hate Trump is because he doesn’t hide the fact that the USA is not a real democracy and is a fascistic state. Usually the democrats try to hide it better than the republicans, so their voters can sleep well without thinking about all the people the US kills outside and inside their country.

What if Biden dies or gets sick?

Most of the world thinks that the two-state solution is the best compromise for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, probably not the best solution, but if they find a way to do it right.

Besides, it would be very interesting to see Israel crumble with the decline of the US, and Palestine prosper with BRICS+ and the Road and Belt initiative.
