BingoBoingo: I don't see
Putin's shift in US-relations as coming too late. US was very committed to blowing its Cold War winnings in Iraq. WTF was Russia to do other than work on the S-400 anti-"Shock and Awe" system and let the US burn treasure on everything else.
BingoBoingo: Well, the KGB eventually did get
Putin to do a sorta Make Russia Great Again

mircea_popescu: everyone gasps, "omfg, THIS is what's burning you ?" and then just as
putin starts "well...." the bell rings and class is dismissed.
mircea_popescu:
putin goes to visit school, kids are invited to ask him a question.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Hence the
Putin liked Trump more than Clitler fuss. Distracts from China owning the Senate wholesale.
mircea_popescu: in other news, reading old logs is something else, my the snr has changed.
http://btcbase.org/log/2014-03-18#565157 << back in 2014 dorky kids still thought "
putin" is how you say "cool". in the intervening years -- they, changed not at all. everything around them...
☝︎ mod6: Someday, I'd like to get the chance to play in a pick-up game with President
Putin.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform made wrong raft the wrong way. mine fucking floats. theirs floated so fucking well,
putin's cut their heads off.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-25 03:16 asciilifeform late evening, listening to elderly ukrs derp on shortwave re horror of their neet chillunz derping on ipnojes; where to read re antennae design;
putin.
mircea_popescu: there's a very deep link between "
putin doesn't understand how the world works ; notwithstanding which he stole our election" and "cell (5,7) on your screen".
mircea_popescu: but to be resolved by the group in question, neither i nor
putin nor whatever papie mache in washington is going to decide this for them.
mircea_popescu: he could pull a
putin, have ivanka president for a cycle, just to bother the democrats.
mircea_popescu: this is a bigger problem for
putin than anything else.
phf: Wittes, who happens to be a martial arts aficionado himself, has chided
Putin as a âfraudâ and a âphonyâ and is trying to call his bluff by challenging the Russian strongman to a fight in any location where
Putin lacks the authority to have him arrested.
phf: i unrelated lulz i googled "
putin judo" through an ssh proxy with u.s. ip and the top article is "Is Vladimir
Putin a judo fraud? - The Washington Post"
mircea_popescu: it's basically a sort of mini-mit, us equiv of "state assets corp of china", exact implementation of "
putin has billions hidden away across the world" except for lizzards.

☝︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: ~~~
PUTIN~~~ is hit by a recession because of his inept policies ; and ~~~
PUTIN~~~ is trying to hide the crisis. and so on and so forth.
shinohai: "
Putin to expel 75 US Diplomats" lol

putin came to power, which was not so much the beginning but the announcement of the done deal. i remember '99 the situation of a lot of people changed drastically.)
☟︎ phf: also in the last two years, as
putin became a kind of presidential role model for the midwest, i think it also became a lot more acceptable to come out in support of countries that are not america, so america and its people are seen as having lost the way, etc. it went from "red scare" to "i wish
putin was our president" (a phrase i've heard more than once even before the previous election cycle)
sina: its NYT so
Putin will be mentioned in everything, but Ukranian intel says they have no firm evidence it was the Ruskis (in the article)...of course it probably was but that's not the bit of the story that's interesting
mircea_popescu: and
putin is related to this because russian hackers ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo an' lemme guess, some kulak elements, at
putin's behest, are intermeddling in the legal attempts to bury the whole thing ? tsk tsk.
mircea_popescu: right. stalin had the right idea -- some remnants even visible under
putin.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, washpo aggitating over how trump gave
putin "Secret Infoz!"
BingoBoingo: Trump needed contrast to Obama/watches too much television, and needs a pretext to come into friendship with
Putin honestly if MWGA is to happen
BingoBoingo: Surely
Putin must know of American dog wagging rituals.
CompanionCube: asciilifeform: but
putin wouldn't get much more power unlike bush
mircea_popescu: wait,
putin bombed his own loyal subjects ? what is he supposed to be, bahamas ?
mircea_popescu: hruschev had no idea how to get even with the us. check it out that
putin humiliated obama.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-16 22:55 mircea_popescu: yeah, i have nfi why teh
putin isn't flooding the usg with red notices for usgtards.
mircea_popescu: yeah, i have nfi why teh
putin isn't flooding the usg with red notices for usgtards.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it's pretty incredible that
putin is sitting down for all this provocation.
BingoBoingo: Seriously fucking cultural marxism was THE soviet wunderwaffen.
Putin is doing the world a service by trying to disarm it.
mircea_popescu: fucking epic. so -
putin asks trump about extending the START, trump says it's a bullshit deal.
BingoBoingo has done some trolling irl, pointing out I'd rather have
Putin as president. Wish the Russians would have meddled more
mircea_popescu: i think by now the rootless youth (tm), well advanced post-irony as well as well disenfranchised by "
putin's electoral college" don't necessarily mean anything in any particular direction.
mircea_popescu: in other news, the whitehouse.gov is in google for a "readout of call with
putin", which then links to /transitionsplash/ which then links to root.
trinque: I had a dream last night where I was in russia at some diplomatic event, and I was drinking with
Putin and asked him about the Elbrus
a111: Logged on 2016-12-19 18:48 mircea_popescu: anyway, to be fair here : the russians have no interest in waiting ;
putin might be uncharacteristically meek, but in general a half dozen us ambassadors starting with the resident in manilla within the next week-10days is perfectly possible. at which point obama actually having the gall to call natl emergency and set aside the transfer of power is not entirely inconceivable. after which the russians WILL sink all the us carr
mircea_popescu: that's the whole comedy, and it's playing again and again and again and again. republic decides us elections ? usg claims
putin did it!
mircea_popescu: meanwhile "trump is with
putin". why, because he gets in the way of the fake news being with china ?
mircea_popescu: the cnn-made alt-"
putin" that the us invaded itself by ?
mircea_popescu: (or, in the imperial expression, "
putin doesn't understand how the world works".)
mircea_popescu: heh. so bahamas shared his livejournal link with her flame, except
putin didn't give a shit so now she's messaging all her friends on instagram about it ?
mircea_popescu: imagine, to go in trying to fight "world problems", to be fucked raw by
putin and eventually defeated... by fucking israel.

mircea_popescu: practically speaking, the exact equivalent of "
putin did wtc"

☟︎☟︎ phf:
putin did it (c) (tm)
mircea_popescu: schmucks really came a long way from the 80s. srsly, consumer-mentality based fud "oh noes, i worry about my key! government should come and give me certainties!
putin influenced elections! guns kill people!"
mircea_popescu: next i suppose they'll be "teaching the controversy" of whether shit or turd is the correct choice, and we'll continue ignoring them and they'll continue to pretend that we don't matter and their 5% is inexplicable at the same time. without any problem whatsoever in their absent minds,
putin doesn't understand how the world works and influences the elections, sure, why not.
mircea_popescu: "shells that were artificially created" takes the cake. it's not just that
putin doesn't understand how the world works - it's that the one true socialism is the only NATURAL producer of artefacts
mircea_popescu: harvard will get really, really angry and... what ? birbe
putin to invade ?
rg:
Putin hacked our voting machines
mircea_popescu: d to a war, but they were dismissed as hysterical, mad, or fools, as is always the way, and as people who worry about
Putin, Brexit and Trump are dismissed now. A little thing leads to an unstoppable destruction that could have been prevented if you’d listened and thought a bit."
mircea_popescu: and in random news nobody cares about, the "republic of moldavia", romania's to "northern ireland" elected russian puppet guy president (igor dodon).
putin's ridin' high.
Framedragger: (re.
putin, can't see how one could disagree there)
mircea_popescu: lol. and what else,
putin just didn't understand how the world works ?
