RE: How do you feel about Luffy's new fruit?
I don't know why mine says I'm here for the ride but I hate it
I mean the fruit is still the gomu gomu. Some of the applications of the fruit now are clear gomu gomu, no need for nika and no need for some of the over the top attacks done recently, I liked 70% of the last 2 chapters but some were really like what the f.
Regardless hate it, should have stayed gomu gomu, also massive drop in tensions idk shame it, ill finish one piece but what a let down.

If it has to be a Mythical Zoan, similiar to Sengoku's or Luffy's, then the only "plant based" thing I can think of would be a Cernunnos-style deity, which may or may not also fit the Green Bull theme.
Pretty sure everyone has seen some kind of interpretation of it somewhere, it's pretty common in games and fantasy stuff (half naked dude with Antlers or Horns with control other flora and fauna).Completly forgot about this! Well observed.

Plant based Paramecia could do anything really, especially those large scale Admiral-level demonstrations of power. Just look what Kishimoto did with wood summons.

Although I was more a fan of the early uses, where it just summoned "living" forests everywhere.
Would it be a paramecia or a zoan for you?
I just cant see oda not filling up the logia zoan paramecia.
But I struggle to find mythical zoans with plants? Maybe like an Ent?

Greg, hi!
A couple pages back you mentioned that you think ryo has a plant based devil fruit.
My question is do you think it is a paramecia or a mythical zoan going along with the logia, paramecia, zoan trio?

RE: European Politics Thread
@Monkey:
NATO expanded because Russias's neighbors are and were afraid of it, Russia hasn't developed any soft power since 1991, and has if anything only proven over time to yes, be frightening and dangerous to neighbors.
All of this is moot because Russia's prime fuckery with Ukraine goes back to 2014, where this entire saga was triggered over moves to enter the EU rather than NATO.
Which should tell you everything about what Putin does or does not want Ukraine to be.
I believe it started earlier then that in 2008 when georgia and ukraine issued a joint statement to join Nato.
We all know the background of russian people with siberia etc etc. Do you guys think that the new generation that grew up with social media know the truth and might actually rise against him?

RE: European Politics Thread
Realism is a theory whose main assumption is that states behave as single organisms (as opposed to a collection of groups or individuals with competing interests) and always follow their rational self interest.
Mearsheimer is it's primary advocate.In this situation for example his argument is that Russia would not invade Ukraine because it was not in its interest, but that when it did, it was NATO's fault because when the US acted in its interest by expanding NATO, it acted against its interests by not respecting Russian interests.
Or his theory on Iran. It's in everyone's interest for Iran to have a nuclear weapon because Israel has one, so deterrence theory says neither will ever use one, but it's also good that the Iran nuclear deal happened because if they got one America would start a war over it.
His work is filled with internal and intertextual logical inconsistencies. Axioms become conclusions, conclusions become assumptions. Every state is rational, except in my book about the Israel lobby where I lament that the US is not.
Thank you for explaining.
I guess it all comes down to what is more worth to America right? So for them expanding, and having russia war against Ukraine is a risk they were willing to take because of little drawbacks for them if it come to it.

RE: European Politics Thread
Our polls don't really matter as we have an agreement to abide by whatever Finland chooses to do. We are both near the mouth of the beast but their actual teeth are over Finland. As it's been there has been an understanding to not go into war because war will not come to us, but the way things are going if Russia doesn't respect our neutrality and wants to hurt us it is better to be prepared. But like i said it is up to Finland to make the call when enough is enough
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
The Russians will try to slaughter them as much if they have a handgun as if they have a rocket launcher. Put the biggest piece you can give them in their hands and let them decide their own way. Encouraging, discouraging, to me these are none-issues. In the end it's up to the people affected to decide their own way.
Fair enough, I wish Nato would encourage them running away instead of wasting their lives and leaving behind wifes, sisters, daughters and sons.
Mearsheimer is a hack and IR realism is stupid
I don't have a background in politics, care to explain?

RE: European Politics Thread
So, how do you feel about channeling weapons into Ukraine?
Personally, I feel like there is no choice but match strength by strength, and the argument of pacifism feels like an awful idea against an invading army, and that the diplomatic options should have started 8 years ago.
What I’m actually asking is not if there should be weapon shipments, but at this point in time is there a better option with the objective of diminishing suffering? As the politicians and posters only say “there must be a better way” without an alternative.
this is a terrible idea, there is no way they will match up to the russian army, you're just encouraging them to go to their deaths
On a side note, I did not expect the situation to go like this at all.
Some information from within Russia for those who are interested as I'm russian but live abroad.Some friends got letters that they might be called to the army.
Some friends got arrested and fined 10000 rubles for speaking a foreign language in the streets.
A friend of mine had an import business he had built up over 6 years, and bought a house on a mortgage, that's all gone within a day doesn't know how to pay the mortgage.
Some people I know that had money in Euros/Dollars in sanctioned banks literally have their money frozen, more like gone.
Supermarkets are almost empty.
No cash in the atms.
One friend who had to do the military and has a rank of lieutenant has received a letter that he might be called in, he just had a baby 2 months ago.Everyone is bloody terrified, they would like to say something but those who do are taken never to be seen, or at least not in the coming years.
I have never lived in Russia, but lived in France, were the people would strike every other day, I really hope the Russians take a stand and topple this ridiculous gouvernement, however the last 100 years have proven that the Russian is a nation that's been so oppressed by their leaders that they all shake in fear. I'm not sure this is going to go anywhere.
On an other side note I found this incredible Lecture by Professor John Mearsheimer from the University of Chicago which explains the situation(He predicted the war 7 years ago)
