What a great way to show the inefficiency of sanctions! /s
They were expecting big slow drones that would take hours flying from Ukraine. Instead they got many small ones that took 18 months to arrive but were invisible until the last minute. A surprise zerg rush, when they were expecting and preparing against ultralisks.
(My analogies are very weak today)
Ah, sweet. I believe Finland joined Nazis after the winter war. Fascinatingly enough, during the winter war, the country that was on the side of Nazis was ... Soviet Union!
I'm still fascinated that soviets managed to play a victim card in a war that they started themselves.
If we were to take over the entire connectivity capacity for Ukraine and all the citizens, — we wouldn't be able to do that.
Luckily, that's not needed. Let's start with covering 50% of the frontline needs.
We’re all sick of the dozens of apps on our phones
That day when I realised I'm not part of "we all".
Do I really need my calculator to have maps function?
US' help was critical so far and when it was paused for six months Ukraine noticed.
On the other hand, when it was paused, Ukraine noticed, but didn't immediately fail. On top of that there were recent reports that Ukraine has enough supplies until summer. On top of that there Zelensky's statement that Ukraine is now producing up to 30% of what it needs in the battlefield. And on top of that, while US help was significant, the contributions from other countries were also nontrivial and many of them invested into increasing production.
So all in all, US' help was and stays important (even if it was quite often a little too late), but if it stops, I believe Ukraine can still win, but that will be quite bad for the States as Trump will not be able to claim this victory and also the military industry will lose quite a lot of advertisement when Ukraine wins with Owen, German, French, Korean or any other weapons.
And do it begins. Musk wants to become the new Hitler.
How soon till we start making time travel films about going back to stop him?
So now they're going to conscript him?
They also held 293.189 tonnes of unallocated gold, compared with 298.84 tonnes on August 1, 303.579 tonnes on July 1 and 329.795 tonnes on June 1.
So they sold almost 40 tonnes of gold in 4 months? I approve that trend.
Yes.
On 18 June 2020, the Russian government lifted its ban on Telegram after it agreed to "help with extremism investigations".
Which means KGB has full access to all messages.
the answer is - it doesn't matter. the biggest learning from the nazi germany was that you don't need the entire population of a country to be homicidal psychopaths. all you need is a small group of those psychopaths, control or media, propaganda and you get a perfectly functioning system where normal everyday folks go to their normal everyday jobs.
just those jobs are in gestapo. or in maintenance of gas chambers. or making food for the equally confused soldiers.
of course, we should avoid civilian casualties as much as we can (but apparently russian army is not required) but the system needs to be stopped.
russia has cancer. chemoterapy is not a pleasant procedure that affects both ill and healthy cells. the alternative is, unfortunately, to allow that cancer to spread to the entire planet.
