whole Kharkov front is crumbling under the action of a few DRG’s. The numbers are also exxagerated, more sensible bloggers talk about 2 to 4k russian soldiers. It’s becoming clear that the AFU can somewhat hold pre-prepared position in hot areas, but has no capability to redeploy reserves to new fronts.
The poor 47th fire brigade must be spending more times sitting on cars and trains than actually fighting
iirc John Oliver talked about a particular missile silo which is so old the computers still use punched cards, and there is no soldier who is actually trained on those systems. The door of that same silo is also always open, because it broke and they don’t know how to fix it
they make it look so easy, it’s frustrating
tbh this is already the case when it comes to the air/sea war. Recent wargames show that in the moment of an attack, the US fleet and airforce in the pacific get missile’d to hell before even being able to operate effectively
“i don’t want my words miscontrued” bro no one cares about you or your words
same thing you say to people who had relatives killed by Stalin
“there is a good chance they deserved it”
by the way i see it, voluntarily settling in a land that’s being colonized and ethnically cleansed comes with accepting the idea that you and your family are at risk of suffering retaliation
y’all living with someone?
30k russians walked into kiev and retreated with minimal losses, it’s not the own you think it is.
And Ukraine has been claiming that this was the offensive to liberate crimea for the last six months. They committed their élite western trained brigades and the most modern equipment that was given to them, including the famous leopards. This is what their “being ready” looks like, and it barely put a dent into the outermost lines of russian defences
Lmao, Ukraine’s greater counteroffensive supposed to free crimea resulted in a russian advance. They threw a punch and hurt themselves while doing it
At least we came to the conclusion that your thing is that you hate russia and its people and just wish them harm
lol i don’t “love” Putin. You can see that in my other comments.
What i am saying is that your side is the one cheering for even more arms shipments so that even more ukrainians can be sent to die in an unwinnable war to “teach russia a lesson”. Literally no one here is arguing in favour of shipping arms to russia or supporting them in any meaningful manner.
The truth is, that much like the collective west, the average slavic subhuman is just currency to you. Ukrainian authorities are on their 9th wave of mobilization, snatching people off the streets and literally camping outside of hospitals in order to catch men who go there to get treatment. Your side thinks this is cool and good because you just can’t allow russia to win.
If your warmongering side wasn’t constantly pushing for escalation and arms shipments, the two sides would’ve negotiated a deal a year ago when the frontline froze.
So, if you are willing to fight to the last ukrainian just to stick it to Putin, go there yourself. I did not want this war, i do not cheer for it, i do not wish to see it escalate. You do.
Comrade, get a hold of yourself. A hundred generations live in us, waiting for the final victory of socialism. And if it won’t be us, it’s going to be our sons and daughters
I actually think that with the internet and everything, we will gradually move away from “big thinkers”. Sure, there will still be people producing decent theory, but i just can’t see in the current world a russian revolution like scenario when whole shifts at factories would meet up to read Marx.
I believe we will move towards a sort of “crowdsourced” theory where the main theoretical line is born organically out of continuos communication and discussion until we eventually get to a point where most contradictions and disagreements are solved. At that point the “big thinker” and his work will be one of many inputs, and not some sort of ideological hegemon.
Sort of like it is happening on here. We didn’t read the same stuff, but with time the community shaped itself to a point where we substantially agree with each other on pretty much everything.
says the guy cheering for ukrainian people to be sent to be slaughtered just to slow down russia and rake in some millions for the MIC
rather simp for someone opposing nato expansion than for a neonazi puppet regime staffed by people handpicked by the CIA. I swear you liberals refuse on purpose to understand that in the grand scheme of things the action of a “bad guy” can still be beneficial.
Russia isn’t conquering the world anytime soon. So what would you rather have? a more multipolar world where russia has a relatively safe and solid position after showing that it won’t be bullied into submission by nato (with the whole world watching), or a world where russia is balkanized into several statelets without the political, economic or military strength to resist capitalist infiltration?
We saw what happened last time russia got defeated. We lost a bastion of socialism, we saw tens of millions impoverished while a few capitalits dismantled everything that the USSR had built, and the whole thing ushered 40 years of hegemonic atlantist domination.
So yeah, i am rooting for the “neoliberal protofascist dictatorship”. There is a reason why literally nobody in the global south sanctioned Russia. 75% of the planet is reasoning the same way i am.
More than anything, it’s the definitive confirmation that the Lion of Damascus won the civil war. They wouldn’t have let him in if there were doubts about his position.
It pretty much says that the arab world has made peace with the idea that Assad and the Ba’ath party are there to stay
Cuba is probably the one i have the most cultural affinity with, so it would not be that hard to adapt and learn the language. But i also can’t survive in warm climates, so northern china it is
might just be me, but i feel like administering the punishment in a more sensible way sounds like a better option than making it so the possession of CP only gets you a slap on the wrist
