This is why I love EU’s GDPR. Reply to their spam with an official GDPR request to be removed from their records.

It doesn’t work all the time. But it works well enough.

There was some talk about it a while back. But I haven’t seen any evidence of it yet.

They did it right though. The 14 were all walking in front in a line unarmed. Two guys with automatic weapons can kill 14 unarmed people very quickly if any one of them tries anything. One or two might get away if they tried to run. But I don’t think they have a chance of overwhelming the two. Also they had drone support.

Before that happens Russia will likely implement policies that bring the price down to about a hundred. And then it will rise again in spite of them. Rinse and repeat.

The USD RUB comparison is tenuous at best. Ruble isn’t being freely exchanged and the volumes are so low that Russia can manipulate the price. They just don’t have the reserves to do it for an extended period of time. So they apply policies to achieve the same goal. But even that hasn’t worked in the long term.

Viva la Révolution !

When speaking of drones of all sorts the figure is more like 95%.

They should be given. No questions asked. It’ll be cheaper than rebuilding the Ukrainian infrastructure over and over again.

Racial discrimination is fundamentally created by the innate fear of the Other. But it is supercharged by capitalism. Slave trade was created to create cheap expendable labor force to drive profits. When it was ended segregation and other discriminatory practices were instituted to protect the owners of businesses. These practices were systemic and we are still seeing their results.

Russia is going all in on Warhammer 40k. They also had the wax protection seals (or whatever they are called) on soldiers going in to battle.

And this at a huge cost of lives. Mostly Russian lives.

Europe too.

That’s just what they want you to believe.

He’s the covert ninja guy of the group.

Except in China a fair percentage of those are tofu dreg construction.

Estimates that I’ve seen of Russia running out of equipment (tank, ifv, mlrs, etc.) range from 2025 to 2032.

Most probably in the 2027—2029 range. That said, they will most likely run out of mlrs first.

Work inside all of the political institutions to bring about constitutional change. Abolish electoral college etc.

It’s not as bad as the US. We don’t have a presidential candidate openly calling for the end of democracy. It has been getting worse. But we’re not there yet.

At that speed ramming into another drone is enough.

Belize-owned, Turkish operated, under the flag of St. Kitts & Nevis

Ah, the usual maritime corporate fuckery.

they were allegedly promised 5 million rubles (USD 55,000).

Pay them.
