I remember Elon initially stated he didn’t want starlink to be used by military forces in Ukraine and just offered it for more of a humanitarian aid. Has he come out and said anything since then? Especially since it’s been obvious how critical the system is for Ukr MoD.

Brother, who do you think wrote the code to the open source copyLEFT licensed platform you’re on right now because you’re fed up with the corporate interests on reddit?

Also let’s take a moment and just follow your line of thinking. Even if OP is the most deranged tankie on the planet. What have you said or what evidence have you shown that the post to a major western media outlet is tankie propaganda? Even if it was, wouldn’t you bring up your own sources and evidence to prove why it’s incorrect? Just screaming tankie at everything you don’t like just has remnants of Red Scare DNA. Please try to understand and analyze points of view you disagree with, with a critical lense. I know that’s hard to do coming from an astroturfed echo chamber like Reddit, and I’m not saying that in a derogatory manner. It’s a real mindset shift that is hard for a lot of people.

People who think you can solve all problems by stating that you are in the moral right, instead of fighting for what you believe in, really show their true colors of being woefully ignorant to how history has always worked. This end of history neoliberal narrative has truly rotted peoples brains and made them unable to intellectually understand how to stand up for themselves.

What makes you think we’re not outgunned?

Even in the US where you can own firearms, your 5.56 rounds aren’t going to do shit against an armored vehicle, or handle drone strikes or national guard elements. Yet liberals are frothing at the mouth to take guns away from the working class, when personal firearms are already woefully inadequate for fighting against a tyrannical government.

Yeah this is the case for any revolution. I’ve been reading “The Constitution and other writings of the founding fathers” and it’s interesting to see all the rhetoric and mental preparation they took before firing even the first shot. The tension was palpable and the colonists were already resolved to fight a war they knew would not end quickly. Most notably over things we just bend over and take nowadays.

The average citizen today does not have the same sense of responsibility and duty to preserving freedom and democracy like they did back then. Sometimes I wonder if people in the west are too soft in resolve and dedication to really revolt in any meaningful capacity, beyond a few days of protesting. No matter what the issue/ideology at hand is.

I think people may have let the western media outlets get to their heads, instead of assessing the situation objectively. Russia’s military was not prepared at the start of the invasion and bungled it, but that doesn’t mean everyone in Russia is a bungling incompetent Slav.

It seems like Russia has been incompetent with their advances when in reality modern warfare has just swung the pendulum to defense having a massive advantage, with precision guided ammunitions and remote mine laying. So we’re experiencing a conflict much closer to a WW1 attritional conflict rather than a concentrated armor and movement based mechanized warfare of WW2. It’s only now some people will start waking up to this fact now that they see Ukraine isn’t just smashing through Russian lines like they hoped, and how the media has been portraying the offensive to be for the past 6 months.
