My personal gripe with them is them banning it from GFN.
2·2 days agoSeen just recently - petroleum crisis
Except that, every hit like that is another cut that cripples economy. The most effective action of “Just Stop Oil” campaign by so far.
But west IS ramping up Ukrainian drone production, it’s called “Danish model” and lots of EU countries joined it (mostly those who have no aspirations in their own MIC).
It’s not 1k drones a day and I doubt it ever will be. Currently they do 500 but that’s not daily, that’s accumulation/discharge. And Ukraine is taking down the most of them - which still means like 10-20 hit the targets per wave.
But I mean, it’s not one-sided thing and stuff burns in russia too. Ukrainian long-range capabilities are better than ever. So many events that would sound groundbreaking in 2022 are just another Friday.
Correct on threat assessment, but it’s not about drone attacks only. Ukraine is better at finding out some new solutions (action from businesses + volunteers + low rank combatants), russia is better at copying success and scaling on a system level (government vertical works faster).
Recent success on the battlefield is them scaling anti-pilot measures. Recent success denial is collaboration between the best Ukrainian battalions.
But I disagree on economic assessment. Point of economy getting shredded is close. I’d say something is highly likely to happen in a span of a year. It would be faster if USA did play their role and sanction oil/gas, like the thing they stated to with India (which EU did, but USA frozen for now).
After all, russia isn’t limitless. It’s their core strategy to make themselves look like so. They had deep reserves of artillery, tanks, currency+gold, aviation, fleet - all of this is getting thinner. Like they rarely use tanks today. But you can’t do the same with money.
The discussion is only continued to show Trump that russia is not serious about peace.
russia would need to end the war fairy soon, but at this point in time they still feel like they can do more, thus negotiations are delayed and met with unserious demands – many of which Trump just didn’t understand lmao, like this whole discussion about EU troops in Ukraine after ceasefire, but russia meant “russian & chinese troops, and only if russia agrees” kind of deal, mentioning old 2022 “negotiations”.
4·6 days agoSo to sacrifice Taiwan to a hungry dictatorship? This is not the leverage, this is capitulation. And it won’t stop russian-chinese relations, because powerful nations also have a right to trade with whoever they want to trade with.
Literally from your article:
That decision caused some consternation in Kyiv, which was initially reluctant to sign but backed down after U.S. President Bill Clinton implied that such refusal could damage bilateral Ukraine-U.S. relations, according to those involved in the negotiations.
USA actions in the 90s caused this war today. If those politicians didn’t try to “reset the relationships with russia” at the cost of Ukraine, russians wouldn’t dare to launch the full scale invasion.
It says guarantees in each version but English, and it states nowhere that English is the main document and the rest are translations. All the versions have equal strength.
Besides, even if there are no guarantees, it doesn’t make USA look better for forcing Ukraine to sign off a deal that left Ukraine defenseless under the threats of global isolation.
Trump said it’s up to Zelensky because this idiot achieved nothing for Ukraine. Russia offers capitulation to Ukraine - exchange territory Ukraine controls for a ceasefire. It puts Ukraine in a worse position than before and makes it easier for russia to take Ukraine later.
Ceasefire, because “long lasting peace” being based on agreement with russia, and either this agreement gonna be unique agreement, the one they aren’t gonna break unilaterally as they did with all agreements before, or, more likely, it’s a waste of paper.
Without Ukraine being in some military alliance that requires boots on the ground means russia will break it. Military assurances Trump is proposing to Ukraine are basically the same level of help we took for granted from Biden admin. And again, not like USA has a history of being fair in promises given to Ukraine, see Budapest memorandum.
India refines the oil and sends oil products to the West. They are very vulnerable to sanctions actually.
China though, I don’t even know what kind of leverage the united West could have on it, and the West is far from being united right now.

You are a citizen of the state. You might not be able to do it alone, but it’s your mess to fix, when all other means fail (voting, institutions etc).
Oh don’t worry it will affect us alright, it’s just that we don’t have any say in whatever happens there.
The game has hunger meter, and you need to eat food to keep yourself from being too hungry.
This is over-eating, it’s the opposite, and comes with debuffs.
Or simply the Oscar is an advertisement company for their friends products, and not some competition.
