So we’ve resorted to using slurs now?Germany's government is going full retard. As Kirk Lazarus said, You never go full retard.
Russia invades Ukraine

That doesn't make it appropriate, and it falls under the bigoted language clause of the Rules.
It's the use of the specific word, which in modern English vernacular, is used primarily to insult people who aren't of normal mental capacities.

I used this word in the context of the movie. Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey Jr.) is explaining to Tugg Speedsman (Ben Stiller) why you should not go full retard when taking a film role. Imo, Germany's nowadays actions are very questionable. I put Germany into Tugg's shoes. That's all.

I don't care if you're quoting a movie. That's a weasel way to try to get bigoted terms into the conversation. There's plenty of other ways to say what you're trying to say. I'm even giving you leeway because you're not a native English speaker. If I see that word used again, there'll be warn points issued.

My post was a two in one: a joke and opinion. Maybe harsh, but it's only a joke. If you don't like it, fine.
I feel like I am standing in front of the censors meeting, that existed in Lithuania during the Soviet years. Huh.
I was not intending to harm disabled people. But you know, there's a saying that you can joke about everything. Context is important.
I will not use this word anymore, becausenot funny joke has been already said.

I know you weren't intending to harm anyone. I am just letting you know that there's "jokes"that, according to our policies, aren't welcome. Like I said, you can find other ways to express what you meant without using terms that do cause harm.
It sounds like the Americans are going to send M1 Abrams as well. We're moving to a new phase of this conflict, for sure. Still, I think now is the time. Russia is putting a rock in their fist.

Definitely not a coincidence: Several top Ukrainian officials were fired on Tuesday amid a ballooning corruption scandal, in the biggest upheaval in President Volodymyr Zelensky’s government since Russia’s invasion began 11 months ago.
But on Tuesday, American officials said that the Biden administration planned to provide Ukraine with Abrams tanks for the first time.

Very interesting to me that Israel remains concerned with possible Russian escalation in Syria if they work with Ukraine.

Ukraine-Russia war: Germany agrees to send 2 battalions of Leopard 2 tanks after heavy pressure
Germany has approved to send Ukraine up to two battalions of Leopard 2 tanks following weeks of stalled and frustrated negotiations as the war rages on.
www.foxnews.com
"German Chancellor Olaf Scholz formally announced Wednesday that after weeks of stalling and frustrating negotiations Berlin has agreed to send two battalions of Leopard 2 A6 tanks to Ukraine.
In a statement the government said it would initially send one company of 14 tanks to Kyiv, though its aim is to send up to 88 tanks from its own stockpiles."
I'm not sure this is the best possible number, context considered.

How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline
The New York Times called it a “mystery,” but the United States executed a covert sea operation that was kept secret—until now

Interesting read, though it's now been broadly disputed. Despite Hersh being a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist in his heyday, he's had a troubling series of claims about people other than Assad being responsible for chemical weapon attacks in Syria throughout the 2010s that have also been broadly disputed, so take it with a shaker of salt.
FWIW, these were Malcolm Nance's responses to the article:
