@60degreelobwedge82 the economies were shot in 2020, the Ukraine thing isn't that big of a deal
3
@RogueReplicant How is Ukraine at fault?
3
@harrybuttery2447 but Wagner blew through road blocks on their way to Moscow. Barriers would gave acomplished nothing.
3
@modigrey I don't watch CNN or BBC.
3
Sicario 2 used the "terrorism" classification to ditch the necessity to bring law enforcement.
3
@garyk8285 Gonzalo and The Duran live on the Z alternative reality. Forget the sources. They're not on the same plane of existence.
3
It was interrupted for more than a day. It still hasn't had heavy rail transport roll over it, just propaganda shoots of empty trains rolling at 5km/h over it.

@pinkoslayer >"pinkoslayer"

Who cares about what Jordan Peterson has to say about war?
3
@klaasvakie Yeah, he can't argue. That's why he spams the exact sane comment everywhere.
3
@Jeremy-WC It will have to be a fiat currency or else it's dead in the water. Hard currencies can't keep up with economic growth.
3
Russia has never achieved air superiority in this war.
3
How many of those 1M adults were 18 to 35? Because from the videos made by a certain American propagandist, they took a lot of old people to Russia.
3
But Tucker isn't legit. He is actually pretty fake and it's transparent that he puts on an act.
3
@ronarnett4811 Russian reservists were used up in the early months of the war. The so-called BARS units were for example defending Kharkiv and got mauled pretty bad. Conscripts only serve a year since the 2000s, and they famously call it a wasted year because there's almost no training involved. Russian artillery ratios mean nothing when the calls of fire suffer delays of several hours, barrels are toast, and HIMARS strikes on supply depots caused a reduction in fires.
3
Less than a tenth of Russia's population attends church.
3
If it wasn't a crime they wouldn't be buying from criminal organizations. Kind of a chicken or the egg situation there.
3
Iran also enabled the fight from the opposite side. Which is funny because Iran never gets any flak for using Yemen as its proxy.
3
Yeah but increased skillsets and automation come at a cost. Should have escaped the middle income trap first.
3
Do they seem to be losing?
3
Canada joined a military pact with China in 2013.
3
@SkylerKing Russia is struggling a lot.
3
Self-determination alone won't cut it. There's dozens of separatist movements in the developed world alone, we can't just carve out new borders whenever we feel like. Armenia was also the aggressor in the 90s.
3
@harleyquinn8202 yeah.
3
About one death every two months on average since 2016.
3
@ronarnett4811 Reserves are not trained because their training was next to non-existent when they originally served.
3
@behroozkhaleghirad yet mobilized have already surrendered less than a week into the mobilization
3
There were WMDs. Just not an active program to build them. Several US servicemen suffered lifelong injuries from contact with Iraqi nerve agents.
3
The railroad burned for a long time, the concrete and rebar were certainly affected.
3
They're cheap but mostly a nuissance. Their effectiveness isn't seen on the battlefield.
3
@Gutenmorgenside using an outdated OS is common in government/military/banking/healthcare. Porting over to newer systems has very high costs and risks.
3
@ankhenaten2 Comment shadowbanned lol is the range greater than 10km?
3
@guidoulm1559 the Soviet Union agreed to pull the missiles in exchange for pulling missiles out of Turkey. Things can be resolved with diplomacy.
3
14th century Europe birthrates were much higher, and what sort of public hospitals and retirement plans do you think existed in the 14th century? Higher wages and affordable housing is great, but if you're 65 and there's nobody to stock the shelves at the grocery store or to see you at the doctor's office you're not going to have a very fun retirement.
2
They're more antagonistic than in the 80s. Unironically. Watch some Russian media. You may not think about them, but Russians think you want to wipe them out. It's North Korea tier over there.
2
Remember how you people were mocking the Kherson offensive?
2
@Mountain_Valley_Sky Russian costs are lower thanks in part to cheaper labor. And did you see the Russians filming their shells empty, with no explosive filler?
2
Ukraine specifically did not mobilize 27 and under. Ever heard of the Fukushima disaster? The older men volunteered to clean up because they knew that it would take decades for cancer to appeal, so they'd be less affected than the young. Obviously the Russian would never understand empathy.
2
@1queijocas But if all the sources are easily found factoids not only is the sourcing pointless, others could take in the same facts and come out with a different narrative.
2
I love how you people said the same about Kherson, got humiliated, and now you're back spewing the same exact argument. I can only predict the offensive will cause a collective aneurysm.
2
@JinKee Africa had coups and civil wars through the decades, and countries neighbouring Russia have been hotspots for a while too (the short lived Chechen independent republic in the 90s, Georgia 2008, Ukraine 2014-present). Rather than a pattern, you have exclusion. India and China have large forces and nukes, Europe decided that after WW2 they kind of don't want to get wrecked again, the Americas are shielded by the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Basically the former Soviet bloc, Africa and smaller Asian nations are what remains to have a proper good old fashioned war. Surely the Myanmar civil war doesn't have anything to do with Europe, and it doesn't fit your pattern.
2
They didn't. They simply lost less. Winter punished the Soviets in Finland. Also, the Soviets aren't Russians. The Soviets had Ukrainians.
2
How does that change the fact that no currency can do what the USD does and the CCP is manipulating the Yuan?
2
Chip manufacturing is extremely complex. Beyond a certain point you have billions of transistors all close to each other, a little mistake and electrons start leaking through the "wires" and the thing doesn't work. You don't just need the machines but also the brains of experienced designers. It's probably more of a dark art than a nuclear program.
2
They produce engineers, we hire them. One of the benefits of knowing how to read Cyrillic is that I can look at the t-shirts and polos of Russian "refugees" and I can tell which company they worked for in Russia before they fled mobilization.
2
@blackcatdungeonmastersfami5311 So many engineers, yet their roads are mud and their weapons keep failing.
2
Drugs are not legal in Portugal, you're just not criminally charged. You still get your drugs confiscated by police and may be forced to go to court where the judge will recommend addiction treatment (which is not mandatory).
2
The fact that the first attack involved a VBIED shoud hint at the fact that Ukraine lacks the weapons to do so.
2
Because he's not a wartime correspondent, a geopolitical analyst has to cover the important stuff in the world outside the war.
2
@annawagner4147 Oh no, Ukraine is losing a small town after 8 months of human waves.
