There are a lot of good Americans out there who are still our friends and allies.

Yeah, approx 30% of them.

If they really believe this and they aren’t just putting up a mask for the sake of diplomacy, then they are idiots. US is ruled by a moscovite asset, and burning down Taiwan would benefit them by weakening the west.

It’s so frustrating how long Europe has been ignoring its need to be self sufficient in military defence. Even with a literal war going on next door and russia actively turning the political systems upside down.

I swear to god I’ve seen articles about the baltic states cutting the soviet electric network every month at least.

Restaurators go to insane lengths to repair art pieces, often not just replicating the style but also authentic materials and techniques.

Speaking as a hungarian having lived under Orbán’s rule for 16 years and counting, don’t worry; after this point you will have either no elections or they will be a pointless mockery only.

Almost all cities in Hungary voted people affiliated with fidesz, despite all the crap this party is doing. At some point we need to start holding people accountable - and I say that as a hungarian living in hungary.

These idiots (=people living in those cities) voted for Orbán’s party at the election nevertheless. Hungary is a special kind of quagmire.

Ah yes, I forgot we’re doing the echo chamber thing here as well.

Eh, it’s not to say it’s a worthy endeavour for them. But Putin doesn’t care about the dead, and there are very few signs that even the russian society at large does.

Russia may well go through another collapse after this, but that doesn’t mean they won’t cling on long enough to cripple Ukraine and/or annex parts of it. That is my concern.

Remember: Karelia still belongs to Russia, and the winter war wasn’t any less bloody for them.

Advances on land are definitely not a be-all/end-all kind of thing, but rather a metric in terms of current force ratio. If Ukraine had enough troops and supply of weapons, they wouldn’t have to give up ground. The current supply they receive is insufficient so they have to yield ground though. It’s a symptom.

Unless russia starts running out of either manpower or war supplies before Ukraine does, they are not in danger of losing. And as unpopular this opinion might be, with the current level (=limited in number and scope of use) of support Ukraine is getting, it’s far from decided that russian war effort collapses first.

Russia is still very much advancing in Kursk and Ukraine right now, it doesn’t matter if their economy is going to break five years from now.

Battlefield does most of this, except medics csn defend themselves because people already rarely play support. As seen by the endless rage and whining, the ad-hoc emergent teamplay doesn’t work as often as it does.

This is just project fear. Atlantis is not sinking.

Kerringan has this ability where the entire plot bends ass-backwards to make her come out on top. Can’t beat that.

Speedrunning populism, let’s see how that goes. Cartels electing judges is my bet.

By that logic we should nsfw all images as there is a phobia for virtually everything and you never know who’s looking at your post.

To be fair, doing my work around the house after worktime at 7PM weekdays is also not going to be very popular.
