  • What a great way to show the inefficiency of sanctions! /s

  • Don't forget it's russian people currently fighting in Ukraine. Yes, they are directed by their government, but they seem to have no issues with fighting (and supporting - somebody has to work in all those munitions factories), whether it's some national pride or just money.

    For me in this case the preferred approach is the Occam's razor - fsb found a way to take over. But following your credo, telegram is absolutely prohibited in the Ukrainian army - either they know or the risk is too high. Which is kind of the same thing.

  • It's a top secret Ukrainian battle rainbow.

  • I believe that the popularity of The Walking Dead is not because of how zombies are fought, but because it's a story of humans being humans, oh and there's a zombie apocalypse.

  • Indeed, we must be speaking of different kinds of meditation.

    The one I was referring to is mindfulness meditation, by practicing which one gradually develops a habit of noticing thoughts as they happen in one's mind and instead of being immediately carried away by them, have a tiny time buffer that allows to have a chance to decide whether to react or just let it dissipate as all thoughts do.

  • https://meditofoundation.org/medito-app is not part of my morning routine as for the effects, results of meditation are never immediate or even obvious, just over time, if one persists, things get a little easier.

  • Stalin planned... The new documents, copies of which have been seen by The Sunday Telegraph.

    Comrade, this is bullshit evidence of a bullshit plan from a bullshit source.

    But even if that were true, they didn't. They happily invaded Poland and went on invading until their best buddy turned on them.

    USSR pulling a victim card in the ww2 was brilliant and they got to keep entire Poland and much more.

  • Good thing this is not true.

    You're probably referring to ruzzia having three times more people than Ukraine. There are several factors why this is not as important as it might seem.

    First is that ruzzia is attacking and the attacking side usually sustains 1:3 loss ratio. Second is that their approach was always to disregard their own, so the ratio is at least 1:5, likely even worse. And third, is that despite they have 140 million people, after you deduct women, children, old and sick, and ruzzian tooth to tail ratio of 1:1, you end up with the maximum army of 5 million.

    And they already lost 20%. And some of those 20% were actually trained. And men that are fit for army are also for for work.

    Which all basically means that if the sanctions pressure is kept, if Ukraine has enough ammunition (and they claim 30% is already made domestically) and as long as Ukraine keeps the loss ratio in its favour, ruzzia will simply implode.

    Somebody calculated that at the current "advance" speed, ruzzia will need 140 years to occupy Ukraine. If Ukraine keeps doing what it's doing, it needs maybe two.

    It's not going to be nice two years, but with a little support, Ukraine is winning and will win.

  • The war is a tragedy for Ukraine, but every dead or wounded invader is one step closer to victory. Or a million steps in this case.

  • 1'000'000 Слава Україні.

  • In a way this is the whole point of this war. Ukraine, where people are ready to protest and fight for the common good, Vs ruzzia, where it's advised to marry a soldier to get the widow's benefits.

  • It's the reason why some russians (not that many) have left the country and some (very few) tried protesting.

    After three years of war, though, those joining the army, those working in factories producing shahed drones or other weapons, those supporting the army indirectly, they actually support the war.

    Yes, it's all the result of propaganda, but they do believe the official line, they do think that they're trying to liberate.

    So while it's illegal to be against war there, very few are breaking that even in their heads. And when we hear "x% of ruzzians want peace", it only means that they want the victory rather sooner, because their life is somewhat uncomfortable.
