@imsroy Russia retreated from Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv and Kherson. Its called winning people!
Next Russia captures a mid sized town a few miles across the border in just under a year with only 100k casualties, just ignore the flanks collapsing. Next up its trench warfare that never ends, unless Ukraine breaks them with the 1,085 Tanks, 4,185 AFVs, 2,000 HMMWVs and 870 Artillery that they've acquired recently

@binbi8177 China's real estate market is collapsing (30% of their economy) Exports is collapsing (20% of their economy) Internal consumption is way down. China has been dumping steel at a loss and is only able to continue due to massive government subsidies. Manufacturing has moved to India, Mexico Vietnam. Even the US is going through the fastest industrialization in its history, including WW2.
Li Keqiang, head of the Communist Party in northeastern Liaoning province at the time said China's GDP figures are "man-made" and therefore unreliable. He Keng, former deputy head of the statistics bureau said housing in China might be overbuilt by 300%. and most of that is 'tofu dreg' construction that is never meant to be lived in, the entire thing is just a scam to keep steel and concrete production up. Chinese people are paying mortgages on them though going into massive debt.
In 2022 China had a higher GDP to debt load than the US by over 40%, and its still classified as a developing country, they aren't even rich yet. US GDP per capita is 80,412.41. while its only 18187.98 US dollars in 2022, when adjusted by purchasing power parity in China. (and according the China the GDP numbers are made up so who know's what it actually is)
Youth unemployment is around 40%, its so bad they cant even make up numbers to make it look reasonable like they do with GDP so they stopped counting it.
Oh and their rockets are full of water instead of rocket fuel. But sure, China is booming just ask them.

@mistressfreezepeach Are you talking about Arakhamia? Here is what he actually said.
“First of all, in order to agree to this point, you have to change the constitution. Our aspiration towards NATO is written in the constitution. Also, there is no trust in the Russians that they will do this. This would only be possible if there were security guarantees. We couldn’t sign something, go away, everybody there would breathe a sigh of relief, and then they would come more prepared, because in fact, when they invaded, they were unprepared for such resistance. We could only work on this when we were 100% sure that this [intrusion] would never happen again. However, there is no such belief."

@Frostchris4121 Only thirteen present-day independent countries escaped formal colonization by European powers: Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, Iran, Japan, Liberia, Mongolia, Nepal, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Thailand, and Turkey as well as Yemen.
The point I was trying to make that went over your head is that Europe colonized everywhere so if they are blamed for every bad thing that ever happened on Earth they also get credit for all the good things right?

@balern4 It has abstained from successive votes in the UN Security Council, General Assembly, and Human Rights Council that condemned Russian aggression in Ukraine and thus far has refused to openly call out Russia as the instigator of the crisis.
Indian strategic elites would admit that their country’s diplomatic neutrality ultimately signifies what one Indian scholar has called “a subtle pro-Moscow position.” This seems particularly incongruous today because India stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the United States in opposing Chinese assertiveness in the Indo-Pacific while at the same time appearing tolerant of the vastly more egregious Russian belligerence in Europe.
New Delhi chose to convey its dismay about Moscow’s breach of international norms, but it focused disproportionately on the humanitarian catastrophe produced by the crisis while consistently avoiding the larger issue of adjudicating the aggression.
India’s tightrope walk on the Ukraine war has been described as “strategic ambivalence.” Far from it—it actually reflects New Delhi’s deliberate choice, even if a constrained one. This decision to steer clear of publicly condemning Russia is shaped not by abstract concerns about the integrity of the world order but by purposeful Indian calculations about how alienating Russia might undermine its security.
India’s posture today remains fundamentally consistent with its past forbearance in the face of previous Russian aggression, for example, in Hungary in 1956, in Czechoslovakia in 1968, and in Afghanistan in 1979. Despite this last crisis having subverted India’s regional environment for forty years and counting, New Delhi has been excessively charitable when calling out Russian misdemeanors, a courtesy that historically has never been equally extended to the United States.
India’s continuing dependence on Russia for military equipment only deepens its reluctance to alienate Moscow in any way. This aspect has received widespread attention since the beginning of the Ukraine war, but it is ultimately secondary to the larger calculations that center on preserving strong ties with Russia as part of India’s efforts to both balance China while constraining Pakistan and realize a multipolar system where it cannot be hemmed in by any excessively powerful states. All the same, New Delhi’s current dependence on Moscow for the spares and support necessary to maintain its large inventory of Russian-origin military equipment is real.

@Gerrard_Pike2008 Yeah dozens of times Manu, I'm guessing you just want modern history though. The Ukrainian War of Independence, the Polish–Soviet War, the 1917–1920 Russian Civil War — Southern Front, 1918–1923 Russian Civil War — Eastern Front.
Do you also include genocides? because there's the Holodomor and the Crimean Tartar genocide.
Furthermore the Maidan rebellion is Ukraine's business, only in Russia's and your deranged fantasy world does that give them casus belli to attack.
Putin also has a long history of attacking his neighbors, Transnistria, Chechnya, Dagestan, Georgia, Ukraine twice. And Russia has an even longer history of annexing neighboring countries. That's too long to list in a youtube comment though.

@billcarson818 Here's what Arakhamia, who was in the room, said: “First of all, in order to agree to this point, you have to change the constitution. Our aspiration towards NATO is written in the constitution. Also, there is no trust in the Russians that they will do this. This would only be possible if there were security guarantees. We couldn’t sign something, go away, everybody there would breathe a sigh of relief, and then they would come more prepared, because in fact, when they invaded, they were unprepared for such resistance. We could only work on this when we were 100% sure that this intrusion would never happen again. However, there is no such belief.
Arakhamia also denied the fact that the Ukrainian delegation was ready to sign the document and Boris Johnson stopped them. According to his own words, the Western partners were informed about the negotiations and had seen the draft versions of the agreement, but they did not make decisions on behalf of Ukraine

@paulfredriksteiner Do you really think Mossad publishes its info?
"Disinformation is being promoted in social networks, claiming that the Turkish media outlet, Hurseda Haber, published exclusive information about military casualties as a result of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine ostensibly based on anonymous data from Israeli intelligence. According to the claim which was disseminated across the world and was also featured on a Rustavi 2 TV programme in Georgia apart from appearing in social networks, Russia has lost only 18,480 troops in Ukraine since 24 February 2022 whilst Ukraine’s losses are 157,000. In addition, hostilities in Ukraine claimed the lives of more than 2,000 soldiers and NATO instructors according to the disinformation. In fact, reports that Mossad published such statistics or that these reports were given to the aforementioned Turkish media outlet are not based on any factual evidence or data.
The information provided by the Turkish media, which was later used by different media outlets or individuals to circulate the same information, is not confirmed by any source. The article does not include the name of the author nor the source of the information. It simply contains unsubstantiated numbers and states that the figures are based on Israeli intelligence’s field data of 14 January 2023.
There is a sharp discrepancy between figures in the article about the losses in manpower and weaponry for Ukraine and Russia and figures from all previously published reliable official and unofficial sources (for instance, Ukraine did not have 514 aircraft/helicopters and 6,320 tanks which the article says were destroyed at the beginning of the war or during its active phase). The exact amount of losses is unknown, although as stated by the Head of Norwegian Armed Forces, Eirik Kristoffersen, casualties of the Russian army, both dead and wounded, are within the margins of 180,000 whilst casualties for Ukraine are about 100,000. In addition, according to the assessment of Mark Milley, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Russian losses in Ukraine are over 100,000. It is also a lie that military hostilities in Ukraine claimed the lives of over 2,000 military service members of NATO member states.
NATO troops do not take part in combat actions in Ukraine whilst NATO military instructors (instructors from the UK and the US as indicated in the publication) do not train Ukrainian soldiers on the territory of Ukraine.
This information was also verified by an influential American outlet, Politifact, which officially reached out to NATO requesting comments on the aforementioned information. NATO officials responded to Politifact and clarified: “There are no troops or trainers under NATO command in Ukraine and no NATO personnel have been killed in the conflict."

@ИринаЛукьяненко-ь3ъ I have no idea why you would lie about something so easy to google.
Pre Soviet Union.
Besides the Ems ukaz and Valuev Circular, there was a series of anti-Ukrainian language edicts starting from the 17th century, when Russia was governed by the House of Romanov. In 1720 Peter the Great issued an edict prohibiting printing books in the Ukrainian language, and since 1729 all edicts and instructions have only been in the Russian language. In 1763 Catherine the Great issued an edict prohibiting lectures in the Ukrainian language at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. In 1769 the Most Holy Synod prohibited printing and using the Ukrainian alphabet book. In 1775 the Zaporizhian Sich was destroyed. In 1832 all studying at schools of the Right-bank Ukraine transitioned to exclusively Russian language. In 1847 the Russian government persecuted all members of the Brotherhood of Saints Cyril and Methodius and prohibited the works of Taras Shevchenko, Panteleimon Kulish, Mykola Kostomarov (Nikolai Kostomarov) and others. In 1862 all free Sunday schools for adults in Ukraine were closed. In 1863 the Russian Minister of Interior Valuev decided that the Little Russian language (Ukrainian language) had never existed and could not ever exist. During that time in the winter of 1863–64, the January Uprising took place at the western regions of the Russian Empire, uniting peoples of the former Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. Next year in 1864 the "Regulation about elementary school" claimed that all teaching should be conducted in the Russian language. In 1879 the Russian Minister of Education Dmitry Tolstoy (later the Russian Minister of Interior) officially and openly stated that all people of the Russian Empire should be Russified. In the 1880s several edicts were issued prohibiting education in the Ukrainian language at private schools, theatric performances in Ukrainian, any use of Ukrainian in official institutions, and christening Ukrainian names. In 1892 another edict prohibited translation from the Russian to Ukrainian. In 1895 the Main Administration of Publishing prohibited printing children books in Ukrainian. In 1911 the resolution adopted at the 7th Congress of Noblemen in Moscow prohibited the use of any languages other than Russian. In 1914 the Russian government officially prohibited celebrations of the 100th Anniversary of Shevchenko's birthday and posted gendarmes at the Chernecha Hill. The same year Nicholas II of Russia issued an edict prohibiting the Ukrainian press.

Please. China couldnt even make ballpoint pens until 2017.
The ASPI is a fear mongering publications trying to spur Australian military spending.
In February 2020, Australian Labor Party Senator Kim Carr described the ASPI as "hawks intent on fighting a new cold war." Former Foreign Minister Bob Carr (no relation) said the ASPI provides a "one-sided, pro-American view of the world" and criticised the group for taking what he claimed was almost $450,000 from the U.S. State Department, to track Australian universities with Chinese research collaborations, and "vilifying and denigrating Australian researchers and their work." Bob Carr's criticism of ASPI came after ASPI president Peter Jennings had raised questions about the donation of $1.8 million by a Chinese billionaire to a group related to Carr. ASPI replied that it "doesn't have an editorial line on China, but we have a very clear method for how we go about our research," and claimed that the true amount of State Department funding was less than half that amount stated by Carr. ASPI was criticized by former diplomats John Menadue, Geoff Raby, and Bruce Haigh, with Haigh referring to ASPI as serving the foreign policy interests of the Liberal Party of Australia. In July 2022 an article in The Economist described ASPI as "hawkish".
In October 2018, the Australian Digital Transformation Agency criticised an ASPI report on the Australian Government's digital identity program. The Agency stated that the report "was inaccurate and contained many factual errors", which "demonstrate a clear misunderstanding of how the digital identity system is intended to work".
There is much more criticism than this, feel free to read them for yourself before you post such embarrassing 'facts' again.

@Godfrey544 We are at the bottom of a line that goes straight up. Most mid level white collar jobs could already be eliminated (and along with them most mid level managers) it's mostly just lack of knowledge and inertia that keeps things going as they are.
I'm not able to predict what's actually going to happen, nobody is this is uncharted territory. What we've seen so far is pre Wright brothers stuff, contraptions that have no hope of flying, then all of a sudden 60 years later were on the moon. Only the rise of AI will be much faster and much more disruptve then flight.
Already ChatGPT scores in the top 10% on the bar exam, meaning that for 90% of the population its more optimal to talk to AI then to an actual lawyer. Art, which at one point we thought the realm of humans turns out to be pretty easy for AI and its only a matter of time before we start seing AI books, video games and films, complete with AI actors. The last bastion will be blue collar work as our robotics development is behind our AI so far, but once we are able to ask AI for blueprints (and it can already code so I dont think this is that far off) things will change drastically even for blue collar workers.
Kurzweil still thinks we'll have super intelligence by 2029, i've seen other's in the field predict anywhere from 5 years to 18 months. People get hung up on concousness for AGI but as one person put it, who's name I unfortunately forget. It doesn't matter so much what AI thinks, but what it can do.

@mantas6540 Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions, Article 52, provides for the general protection of civilian objects, hindering attacks to military objectives in a war between two or more belligerents. Article 52 states, "In so far as objects are concerned, military objectives are limited to those objects which by their nature, location, purpose or use make an effective contribution to military action and whose total or partial destruction, capture or neutralization, in the circumstances ruling at the time, offers a definite military advantage."
So a bridge is by definition a military target, a pizza party isn't. Got it? The bridge itself was illegally constructed on illegally occupied land, the Ukrainians warned multiple times that they were going to attack the bridge. Any civilian casualties are unfortunate but if you are a civilian and want to avoid becoming a casualty you should avoid illegally occupied territory. Particularly targets that the defenders have already stated they would destroy.

@davidlloyd2583 "The Russians have run into a lot of problems. They've got command-and-control issues, logistics issues. They've got morale issues, leadership issues and a wide variety of other issues.”
Failures of command result in a lot of wasted shells and rockets and all-too-frequent friendly-fire incidents. Even when artillery is hitting nothing or, worse, hitting allied positions, the gunners just keep blasting away.
There’s a “near-absence of reversionary courses of action” in the Russian fire-control system, analysts Mykhaylo Zabrodskyi, Jack Watling, Oleksandr Danylyuk and Nick Reynolds explained in a study for the Royal United Services Institute in London.
What that means is, in Russian doctrine, brigades, battalions and batteries tend to freeze up in the absence of detailed instructions from higher command. While awaiting fresh orders, lower units just keep doing what they already were doing. Even when it doesn’t make sense. Even when the current course of action is killing friendly troops.
“This approach has probably had the greatest impact in creating a gap between potential and actual capability as regards Russian fires,” Zabrodskyi, Watling, Danylyuk and Reynolds wrote.
Russian gunners simply don’t think for themselves. “All reported contacts are treated as true. All fire missions appear to be given equal priority and are prosecuted in the order in which they are received unless an order to prioritize a specific mission comes from higher authority.”
“It seems that those directing fire missions either do not have access to contextual information or are indifferent to it,” the analysts added.
Ukrainian gunners shoot, correct their aim, shoot again—and entirely change up their schemes of fire when those schemes aren’t working. Russian gunners, on the other hand, tend to blast away at the wrong coordinates while awaiting new orders from division. Orders that might never come.

@k1rantbeta843 Prigozhin also said. "In 2014 Russians went to Donbass, and we held our ground in Donbass... the fate of Donbass remained in limbo. From ’14 until ’22, Donbass was being carved up. Donbass was being pillaged by various people, some of them were from the presidential administration, some from the FSB, and some were attracted oligarchs, like Kurchenko. These are the people who stole money from the residents of Donbass, who were in the unrecognized republics of LNR and DNR....We were shooting at them, they were shooting at us, and this was happening for all these long 8 years from ’14 to ’22. Sometimes the number of different shootouts, roughly speaking, the exchange of ammunition, the exchange of shots, sometimes increased, sometimes decreased."
This goes on and on, I think the only person who pretends Russia wasn't in the Donbas is you.

@billcarson818 So you don't believe what Arakhamia said but you use him as proof? Do you understand how idiotic that sounds?
The quote I gave from him was his clarification of his statement. I'll post it again try to read it carefully.
“First of all, in order to agree to this point, you have to change the constitution. Our aspiration towards NATO is written in the constitution. Also, there is no trust in the Russians that they will do this. This would only be possible if there were security guarantees. We couldn’t sign something, go away, everybody there would breathe a sigh of relief, and then they would come more prepared, because in fact, when they invaded, they were unprepared for such resistance. We could only work on this when we were 100% sure that this [intrusion] would never happen again. However, there is no such belief."
Arakhamia also denied the fact that the Ukrainian delegation was ready to sign the document and Boris Johnson stopped them. According to his own words, the Western partners were informed about the negotiations and had seen the draft versions of the agreement, but "they did not make decisions on behalf of Ukraine and could only give advice."
Accordingly, David Arakhamia did not say that Ukraine was ready to sign a document promising peace in exchange for neutrality. Arakhamia’s interview reveals that Ukraine was not going to sign the document even before receiving Boris Johnson’s advice, therefore, it is manipulative to claim that the Russia-Ukraine agreement failed because of Boris Johnson or that Ukraine made the decision because of his position.

@osanebiuche7476 Russia isn't the USSR but they are their successors, obviously. You can pretend they aren't the same but why does Russia have a spot on the security council? why is the leader ex KGB? why did they inherit all the USSR's treaties? why are a majority of the leadership the same leaders from the Soviet Union, or their decedents? What was the captol of the Soviet Union?
The Russian federation is even more inept then the USSR though, they cant even make ball bearings anymore. and Russia has a long history of military humiliation, Russo-Polish war, Russo-Japanese war, Winter war, the first Chechen war (they were getting humiliated in the second one too until Kadyrov sold out)
Russia isnt going to nuke anyone, just like they didnt when they lost in Afghanistan and Chechnya, did you know China has a treaty to protect Ukraine from nuclear aggression? I bet you didnt.
The USSR collapsed primarily because it spent all its money on its military and nothing else, though there were other reasons. Russia collapsed twice in the 20th century, 3 times if you count 1905. They are past due and it wouldn't be surprising to see them collapse again.

@TheKkpop1 China is the land of shortcuts and facades. I'll leave you to research why China's patent surge doesn't mean much, you can start with 'strategic patenting' but here's a snippet.
Most recently, Eberhardt, Helmers et al. (2017), first employing quantitative analysis based on representative firm-level data from SIPO and USPTO between 1985 and 2006, revealed that the patent surge at SIPO was driven by factors other than underlying innovative behavior, including government subsidies that directly encouraged patent filings. Different from the study by Hu and Jefferson (2009) using aggregated patent data, they differentiated between the three types of patents and focused on invention patents that represented for more novelty and inventiveness.
Hu, Zhang et al. (2017) further confirmed that the correlation between patents and innovative factor,
R&D, has become weaker, especially for utility models, which denoted that the patent surge was driven by non-innovation related motives. Using a more update dataset from 2007 to 2011, they justified the government policy incentive hypothesis. Meanwhile, they manifested that most of the patent growth came from firms that were not active in applying for patents in the past. They also left space for further research on other non-innovative motivations that played a part in propelling
the patent boom.
What’s more, there have been controversies on the relationship between the quality and quantity of Chinese patents during the patent surge. Li (2012)’s empirical examination based on the ratio of patent grants to applications also implied that the patent surge was not followed by lowered patent application quality. However, this implication was soon confuted by other scholars. Zhang and Chen (2012) estimated a lower value of patents requested by domestic applicants than foreign applicants.
After assessing the quality of Chinese patent filings in EPO, Thoma (2013) provided support for the “strategic patenting” hypothesis on the lower value and quality of Chinese patents.
Dang and Motohashi (2015) demonstrated that grant-contingent patent subsidies unintentionally encouraged applicants to file for patents with a narrow claim scope to increase the chance of grants, which resulted in lower economic value. Boeing and Mueller (2016) found an over-time quality decrease for Chinese Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) applications by international comparison, and they found evidence for a negative correlation between patent quality and patent subsidies as well.
To sum up, a patent surge is not always a reflection of increases in true innovation

@theman2223 Quote from Vasily Nebenzya, the Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN: "According to the description, such a drone transports a container with a large number of mosquitoes, the carriers of infections, to a targeted area and releases them.
While biting, mosquitoes infect people with pathogens of particularly dangerous diseases. The explanation directly emphasises that an infected serviceman will be unable to perform the tasks assigned to him, to conclude "the disease can be a more valuable military tool than the most modern weapons and military equipment."
It is noted that "such an infection among enemy servicemen would have a significant military effect".
Details: Nebenzya also stated that the Russian Federation had received some documents regarding "the spread of dangerous infections through migration birds, in particular highly pathogenic influenza and Newcastle disease, and bats, in particular capable of infecting humans with the causative agents of plague, leptospirosis, brucellosis, as well as coronaviruses and filoviruses."
Andrii Yermak, the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, has reacted to the nonsense voiced out by the Russian Representative to the UN.
