I will say the Ukranians have been ready to negotiate, only Uncle Sam yanks their leash violently to heel every time they’ve tried

Seconded, 100%

More like an injured, rabid dog…yes, i agree. Especially in a more nuclear discussion.

Sugar --> azucar --> al sukar

Exactly, like “bless you” or “goddammit” or “what the hell” or “jesus christ”; religious origins but more regional than religious or even racial

Even the clothes in a closet are solid, breaking up hard flat big surfaces alone does wonders

PIRACY AND THINGS

If youre an audio purist “audiophile” or whatever. They dont stop all the frequencies that real foam would, in fact some people particularly dont like them. But if youre okay with a mid-fi experience and youre not agonizing over the details, egg. Cartons with whats it called…cotton in the dips will do you good breaking up all those corners and flat hard surfaces

Overdeveloped answer but:

MASHALLAH 💜💜💜

That’s very fair, I guess I see it as more war and unnecessary death are already on the itinerary, the Western hegemony seems to refuse to die quietly, so I hope the final act plays out with them foolishly wasting 1% of their forces at a time instead of resolutely commiting all forces and causing an even more devastating conflict all around. As someone said above, the French may be a useful vassal the to US in a future war with China, so them wasting their forces prematurely and possibly without glowing blessing from the US is all good things.

I was downplaying inevitable Russian casualties with French involvement, I apologize. I just hope this wicked beast collapses as soon as possible.

Even if it went intitially decent for them, they cannot possible divert their forces both to Russia and to Africa. Africa frees itself, another source of funding for Western empire gone, another nail in the coffin. There’s no winning, this is Nazi Battle of the Bulge latewar desperation.

Personally I would be surprised if any of this happens. The West’s weapons, armor, style of fighting, psychology, and availability of willing and able recruits has already been exposed again and again as laughably bad. They have spent the last half century bullying vulnerable countries, occupying and fighting insurgencies, they are completely out of their element fighting a near-peer adversary. Their technology is overpriced, overengineered junk. They are running out of money and all of their industry and access to raw resources has been outsourced over the decades across the world, much of which supports Russia implicitly or explicitly. Like all fascists they are irrational, arrogant, narrow sighted, cowardly, and cultish. The cost for all these factors have been the terrible casualty rate inflicted not just on the Ukranian army but on all the mixed NATO mercenaries and NATO officials who have been training, arming, and supporting the Ukranians.

If the war drums rolled loud and an overwhelming coalition of NATO formed and resolutely plunged headfirst into war with Russia, the scenario would be much more contentious and unstable. However, if they are hindered by their own nominally war weary populaces, and can only give a few thousand at a time, treading softly because they are scared shitless of the consequences, they are doing nothing but weakening themselves at a rate that Russia can easily absorb.

Why depressing? If the West wants to accelerate their complete destruction, and a few thousand frogs leap gleefully to their death, I say let them. As long as they keep trickling into their deathtrap and not flooding with poise and planning and coordination, the West is ironically just bleeding themselves on Russian bullets.

You gotta push past the introversion urge to get to the best moments of socializing!!

I heard quite the opposite, that at the start of the war it was 5 UKR per 1 RUS but now that ratio is more like 10:1, which would make perfect sense, considering the late-war Volksturm state of the UKR “military”.

This is just how I see it, yes.

I agree such people would rather become terrorists, hence my quotes around “volunteered” lol 😁 though I agree that if we were to clean a mess, it should be the mess here on these lands first, the Black Americans and Natives.

I imagine a big power like China would have to step in to enforce such international consensus, which would be massively unpopular; I’m sure by the time socialists have wrested control of this land from fascists et. al., we should be lucky if there is much capital, resources etc. still intact.

Okay thanks i laughed harder than any other time today
