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.
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.
Here’s a novel idea. Don’t use these exploitative services.
Ukraine has drawn up a list of targets they would strike with the US weapons. And they have so far been using the US weapons only to strike targets allowed by the US. Even when it has been clearly against Ukrainian interests. I’d say that they can be trusted to only go after the targets they say. Ukraine cannot afford to lose western support.
I think what is preventing the US and allies from allowing strikes on deep Russian targets is the same as it ever was. The fear of escalation. And what they are trying to do is to slowly cook the frog. Small incremental increases in allowances.
it was decided to land the bird, due to some control functionality failures
Some decision. Either you are going down controllably or uncontrollably. And by the looks of it, it seems to have been a rather uncontrolled descent.
3° is looking more and more likely. 1.6° is already certain.
Romanian government, Ukraine, NATO
Shooting down Russian drones in Ukrainian airspace is a serious escalation. The drones are in Romanian airspace for mere seconds.
Also Romania needs all the allies it can get. So it will not piss off its NATO allies.
They should be given. No questions asked. It’ll be cheaper than rebuilding the Ukrainian infrastructure over and over again.
