Yeah, I dumped facebook right after the election but unfortunately most of my friends and family are only on WhatsApp.

The only way I can interpret this is that you seem to think that land area somehow equates to population. So I’m curious as to how Russia should have 200 million soldiers. After they draft their entire population where are they getting the extra 50 million-ish people?

Maybe the real saddam is the memes we made along the way :P

Yeah, I think so.

I don’t think “casualties” means just death. Wounds are also considered under casualties. I’ve read varying numbers of death, but it seems to be somewhere around 120.000-150.000. Which is still a staggering number, especially in the short amount of time. Whatever else happens, Russia is pretty well demographically fucked for a while. Unfortunately Ukraine is probably too 😒

I was mainly just thinking of how our images of the future are shaped by the present, including our hopes and dreams. Even some solarpunk images I’ve seen created. So I thought it was a nice contrast to such things–a future that is the unhindered functioning of basic biological functions because we live more in harmony with the world around us. I guess I should have maybe added that to the original post, lol.

I like it as an alternative to all the ideas about the “future” that are just the status quo drawn out. This is the kind of future I want to think about when it comes to solarpunk. If this isn’t the right place for something like this, please let me know.

Thank you for your service

Yeah, something seems off here. Russia has about a third of the population of the US, yet more active soldiers. Even still, with the huge amount of casualties in the “meat grinder”?

Do Americans even own suits?

It doesn’t matter what experts say. The US administration wants any excuse it can find to build their new anti-Ukrainian narrative.
