europeans insisting they’re independent countries but they need Uncle Sam’s permission to send their own military hardware anywhere 🤔

obviously with the support and assent of the US, but it is a funny counterfactual if the US posturing had actually been to politically pressure the end of Nordstream & it actually fucked up the plan when rogue ukrainians blew it up

you could also say the folding of the ukrainian foreign legion into the territorial defense forces formally makes them not mercenaries with an equal legal footing. either we stringently follow the geneva conventions and there are no mercenaries on either side, or we call a spade a spade

the guy who killed him is also a mercenary. and poles live in ukraine, there are lawful combatants from the polish citizens of ukraine.

e: the article says “volunteer” but that still seems like something that would need a trial to determine whether they lacked protections before a summary execution. that should apply to any participants from neighboring countries’ ethnicities

I also was very clear that I don’t believe in criminalizing the people on-camera in porn so I’m not sure why you’re saying the things you are

you just believe in continuing criminalization of any way for that performance to make them money? that’s why people do it, when only the johns are ‘illegal’ sexwork still has to be clandestine and outside public scrutiny & protections

I would suspect they want less oversight of human trafficking

what oversight do they have now and how is it improved by dragging people to court for visiting pornhub? seriously we’re talking about the trafficking capital of the world (maybe in competition with libya) and you’re worried that being less litigious toward the most widely accepted & least dangerous form of sexwork is going to hamstring the very effective ukrainian police’s efforts against trafficking, if such a thing even exists at all

wish there was video, probably looked pretty goofy

well if you trade metal to Russia, and metal goes in weapons, you are basically handing them weapons of mass destruction if you think about it

talking about the country that won ‘most corrupt in europe’ (and you know how stiff that competition is) for a decade and you’re skeptical about taking away an excuse for their cops to harass people?

when the acts of pornography or prostitution etc. are forced underground by their illegality, it makes human trafficking easier because the victims will also be liable to be arrested, and therefore don’t report. decriminalization opens up the doors somewhat so scrutiny can fall on the most specifically harmful & less common sexcrimes, while ignoring people just trying to put bread on the table

oh thank goodness that ReSex thing is just a handful of people printing sex education handbooks, i thought it was something actually arranging sex for soldiers like . that’s a fairly misleading quote where she’s referring to the need for education/outreach on the topic in all those environments, i mean the last thing a guy who just lost his legs needs is gonorraea.

From the Soviet Union times, we inherited this norm that one can get up to eight years behind bars if this one happens to send their nudes to another person

fucking what

704,667 people received a court summons in 2022 for charges that fall under Article 301 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code, which pertains to pornography

over half a million people while there’s a fucking war on are you for real.

this is basically a personal interest story, i don’t think decriminalization has a chance, the sponsor is from a tiny party in the opposition.

Mexico will win but okay. i hope they annex my state and i can afford to go to school & a doctor 👍

are we the baddies when the only domestic manufacturing we do is cancer tank shells & child murder bombs?

GOOD post

hog on hog violence, you love to see it!

soldiers are blockheaded idiots, more at 11. imagine fetishizing your own agonizing death getting shredded or drowning on some awful beach fighting your countrymen. couldn’t be me.
