The agreement, which was signed in 2014, focuses on strengthening the military alliance between the two countries, but it has also had a significant impact on the Philippine economy. One of the key…

NATO commits to defending territory of alliance: Scholz

NATO commits to defending territory of alliance: Scholz

Brussels (The Times Groupe)- Germany’s chancellor Olaf Scholz said Tuesday that the military alliance (NATO) is committed to defending every inch of its territory.

Olaf Scholz said Germany would bolster NATO’s eastern flank through its contribution.

“We will create a strong brigade, we discussed that with each other and will have to work on that,” Scholz said at a news conference alongside Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda, Latvian Prime Minister Krisjanis Karins, and Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas.

Scholz said that Germany’s decision to allocate a $107.3 billion (€100 billion) “special fund” to modernize its armed forces will strengthen NATO and make the country “the strongest armed forces in Europe and one of the strongest in North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).”

EU countries and Germany will continue to support Ukraine as long as it is needed.

“Germany is one of the main supporters of Ukraine in terms of military, and probably only the United States provides greater support than us,” said Scholz.

Nauseda said the leaders discussed Russia’s war on Ukraine and how Europe should respond.

“We must build a strong response and strengthen our defenses in the face of Russian aggression,” said Nauseda, adding “we agreed on the need to reinforce defense capabilities in the Baltic states by increasing the number of deployed troops, strengthening air and sea defense.”

We must realize that Russia’s military threat won’t go away. It will remain a long-term threat to the entire Euro-Atlantic area,” he said.

as if we don't semi-regularly bring up the horror that is Lysa and Jon's marriage. It's one of the main reasons why Lysa Is The Way She Is. it's the foil to Cat and Ned's happy marriage, as it really is sheer luck if a woman ends with a "good" marriage. The whole situation that leads up to the marriage literally haunts Hoster on his death bed. Girl.

#that Lysa essentially dateraped LF is another conversation #but Hoster forcing his teen daughter to get a dangerous abortion and then use her fertility as a selling point to secure a military allianc #with a man old enough to be her grandfather #UMMMMM #yeah that is something that gets critiqued roundly over here

The Khans - My Introspective

I don't like the Military and I don't support a lot of the actions the NCR does to the Mojave in New Vegas but in terms of the Khans I feel like the fandom infantilizes or diminishes the fact that they are or at least one of the most violent raider groups in the Mojave.

What happened at Bitter Springs was a tragedy, innocent lives were lost and the fact that the NCR swept it under the rug and continued to hunt down Khans that are truly trying to back down and resettle is horrendous, but there is a history to the NCR's aggression towards them.

The Khans first appear in Fallout 1, the main faction of raiders in the game besides the mentioned Vipers (who don't actually appear if I remember correctly). They came from Vault 15 along with the members that would form rival groups; The Vipers, The Jackals, and Shady Sands. They are a very large and foreboding raiding party, known for burning towns and encampments they attack and taking survivors as their slaves or slaves to sell. They are a big reason why the Jackals and Vipers are actually so small in New Vegas, they wiped them out.

Their main targets where Shady Sands and Junker town, the former of the two would be what became The New California Republic. This explains a big part of their animosity towards the Khans, only furthered by the fact the Khans kidnapped Tandi as a young girl, the girl that would go to offically found the NCR out of Shady Sands. When the dweller saved her and killed much of the Khans, this allowed the NCR to develop into what it currently is as they no longer needed to focus on fighting off constant raids.

When the Khans became the New Khans in Fallout 2, they barely resembled the Khans as they were led by Darion, Garl Death-Hand's son (former leader of the Khans). They were smaller and refortified vault 15, still planning to take down the NCR (at this time nowhere near as imperialist as they are in FNV) as mostly a revenge/power ploy. They manipulate The Squat, a group of y'know squatters, that lived in the upper levels, promising and lying about repairing the vault and offering them ransacked caravan resources if they kept the NCR away. Being their only life line The Squat had no choice. Still the chosen one got rid of them and they left New California for the untapped Mojave.

The Great Khans, the most current iteration, continued in the path as the original Khans, regrouping and gaining information from the Followers who hoped they'd use their new medical knowledge to heal themselves. They gained more members and a substantial part of Vegas territory before they were run out by the three families. They were pushed to Bitter Springs where they first and foremost continued to pick off and attack NCR settlements, most of which consisted of caravans, towns, and camps as they saw them as easy like in their old days. It was the killing of four influential Republic members (non-military) that brought on Bitter Springs.

Bitter Springs was the result of years of hatred and animosity and likely the goal to send a final message to the Khans. It does not excuse the fact that innocent men, women, and children were slaughtered with few survivors. It does not excuse the fact that the NCR has yet to make amends for this and continues to try and persecute the Khans even in moments of surrender.

This post is not to defend what happened but to give a quick rundown of the Khan's history and their history with the NCR. It's to remind people that the NCR is not just their military power but an actual group/settlement of people that were also attacked indiscriminately by the Khans. It's to point out that the Khans were not a band of indigenous people (no matter the comparisons) driven from their homes but raiders who fed into the brutal cultures of the west coast wasteland and were in turn treated to the same things.

My frustration comes from the fact that FNV has so many comparisons to indigenous struggles but the groups it chooses are not comparable at all. Their oppression hinges on not being familiar with their past, which explains why they have the reputation they do in canon. The "tribes" are often not even groups of minorities or have goals/desires out of acquisitions of power and I feel like it is important to both acknowledge that this is bad indigenous rep because it is not supposed to be. It is supposed to be a comparison of the in-game groups and how they all do the same things and justify it in their own fucked up ways, some better at it than others.

FNV of all the Fallout games (in light of it being heavily Western based) distastefully uses indigenous imagery and theming for groups that are sad mimicries of American indigenous cultures at best and outright offensive at worst.

#this is also to say the NCR is barely different but they imply New California is a city and safe and that once the NCR military leaves #they will properly try to settle and revitalize the area unlike the goals of almost every other group #the issues arise from the tensions of the hoover dam battles the legion and the corrupt leaders chosen in what is a terse time #but the khans are interesting to me and I like the named khans we have in FNV but they are treated to be almost innocent at points due to #all the Ls they keep taking despite admitting to their raider roots and being PROUD #they partnered with the Legion and before i hear they didnt know they were slavers at a point too and likely didnt care if they believed it #would not affec their own. the Mojave is an unforgivnig place and sometimes you make unforgivable alliances since they alienated all their #other options through their continued and consistent behaviors #like i could go on how bad the native rep is but I would not use any of the tribes cause they barely count the only difference from the NCR #is they organize themself differtently like id use the tribes in Honest Hearts cause holy shit is it bad and racist like at least the Mojav #tribes are just white dickheads brutalizing each other and not the characatures of native people the Sorrows Dead Horse and White legs are #like yikes I hated playing white savior the dlc #this is also semi personal because i dont see a lot of POC people in the fandom talking about the Khans and so I dont know if the proper #perspectives can be added because just because something can represent a culture or group doesn't mean it does or that it was the primary #thing they were trying to get across #like feel free to ask and talk to me more about it cause grrr #fallout #fallout new vegas #the great khans #the khans #new california republic #the ncr #fallout 1 #fallout 2 #papa khan

I cannot explain how this interaction makes the cogs in my brain start turning. I’ll also add I’m anti-military and the reason I focus on this is because if I do not understand nor can I justify the reason an action was taken I feel obligated to analyze the shit out of it. I do not expect an answer to ever come to me where I will suddenly agree with historic justifications and will more than likely still not agree with any decisions made. I just feel like I need every detail outlining a catastrophic series of events to better articulate to others the actual problems with a situation.

it’s one of the least surprising lines in the entire show I’m just fascinated by them name dropping KSM with butcher having a part in that. it’s like they wanted me to analyze this show like a severely unwell person. once I’ve gotten home on Saturday and have finished some different work I think I’m going to actually do what I’ve been wanting to and write a small essay on this. not saying absolutely no one understands this line but I’d like to expand upon it contextually. the implications of it and what it could mean for this world is really so fascinating to me

#this is my actual area of study and unofficial expertise #so it’s honestly quite hard for me to just leave it be in conjunction with the autism #I do this with like everything I watch from the 2000s to present sadly #I won’t lie I’ll have to extrapolate a lot as far as creating a career timeline from British military -> CIA #but also it gives me the opportunity to delve deeper into the Blair x Bush alliance #sorry I’ll stop now #the boys meta

Wear and Appearance of a Morathian Bastwerk Troop

Additional notes include that the Bastwerk soldiers usually wear their hair long compared to their Legionnaire counterparts, due to the fact that the often spend more time at the front, and also are less strict in their appearance in general. The main legion considers the Bastwerk to be more “shabby” and undisciplined, whereas the Bastwerk see being a soldier in more practical terms, focusing on discipline under fire and practical skills rather than specific traditions- a finely pressed uniform or perfectly regulated hair wont save someone from shrapnel after all.

Alfred: I love and respect all my allies equally.

also Alfred: Yong Soo thank you so so so much for being an actual competent ally instead of a constant pain in my ass.

Yong Soo: of course babe. I'll only be your pain in the ass when you want me to be. ❤️

#the US actually did try to form a NATO-esque alliance in the Pacifc #did not work because uh. asking the Koreans to integrate their military with that of the Japanese? yeah no. that was never going to go well
