Manpower is a bigger issue for Ukraine compared to Russia. Ukraine is at least not doing human wave tactics and doing more to keep their guys alive, but Russia can last longer in that aspect as well.
I do agree that Putin can’t stop the war for anything less than complete victory, otherwise people will start asking questions about why this was necessary as you said.
Yeah, they are still able to trade with China (which happens to make everything anyway), and as opposed to most countries, Russia can still draw on a lot of the remaining Soviet infrastructure that was specifically built because Russia needed to be self sufficient during the cold war.
As long as Putin can manage to remain in power Russia can keep this war going.
Yeah, the original post sounded very much like the typical fake story you see on Reddit.
He left rockstar after red dead redemption II, partly because he was tired of dealing with those execs.
Some people are still used to 100% windows at work and take that home, I guess.
You have to keep in mind that ever since Elon took over Twitter, nobody’s left that actually understands how it works, so whenever they implement a change they do it in the most hamfisted way possible, usually in the presentation layer.
Disabling translation was just the easiest way to do this, as banning Israeli accounts for their actual hate speech was going to get the ADL on Elons ass.
I mean, I actually believe him. He’s using the pardon power as a racket, you pay him a few million and you get a pardon, he doesn’t care who it is or what they did.
There’s already stories of US citizens being detained despite having valid ID on them. There’s financial incentives for them to bring in as many people as possible and they don’t care if they get it wrong.
I bet it just checks the colour of people’s skins.
Democrats didn’t help themselves by running terrible candidates with shitty policies, yeah.
If someone paid for people to stay home I’m sure they would. It’s not like it’s feasible to not have the job and still pay for the house and food.
Yep, and despite all that and his first term half the US voters still figured he’d be a great President.
Yeah, I haven’t either. I don’t even know how I installed it (package manager or raw). Will need to look into that.
That’s how I read it first time, I don’t see how it’s misleading. I think everyone knows that Windows isn’t ready for the desktop.
Over 18, but still young enough to not be predestined to become like the other billionaires I guess.
The media has been captured for decades. It’s literally the thesis of ‘Manufacturing Consent’.
Democrats always do this. They’re always ‘looking forward, not back’, and that meant that Nixon, Reagan, Bush Jr and Trump all got away with various crimes, and so did the minions that worked for all of them (like Roger Stone).
Democrats were falling under themselves saying ‘in this country we don’t prosecute our political opponents’, followed through with that promise, and now Trump is prosecuting them.
Wow, so intimidating.
I used to run it for a while (it might actually still be running, I’d need to check my VPS and delete it if it is), but I feel like RSS readers kind of got overtaken by Reddit (and Lemmy). I tried going back to it again a few times, but the lack of comments felt off after having experienced Reddit.
Can’t wait for the Behind the Bastards episode about this guy. Long overdue.
