The fact that European left shat the bed by aligning with bloodthirsty libs is definitely a problem going forward. However, it does look like a lot of people in Europe are starting to recognize that US cynically used them in their proxy war, and I don't think things can ever go back to business as usual after the war ends. The economic damage is just too great.
That could be the point where pro US regimes start falling across Europe. We're already in the early stages of that happening now. Boots on the ground will kick that into overdrive.
The stories from those that made it back were really hilarious. They were absolutely shocked to find out that fighting a professional army is nothing like hunting civilians in Afghanistan.
that's my reading as well
The Biden administration is moving towards lifting a de facto ban on American military contractors deploying to Ukraine, four US officials familiar with the matter told CNN, to help the country’s military maintain and repair US-provided weapons systems.

The announcement by Ukraine’s president on Monday came hours after a scathing social media post implicitly accused the general of “killing more Ukrainian soldiers than any Russian general.”

Chang'E-6 samples will answer 6 important questions
- The age of SPA. The CE-6 mission is expected to collect the impact melt formed during the formation of SPA to accurately obtain its age.
- The age of the Apollo crater. There is a high probability that the CE-6 samples contain impact melt from the Apollo crater. The radiometric ages of SPA basin and Apollo crater can greatly promote the study of the early lunar impact flux.
- The major mineral composition of the lunar mantle. The formation process of SPA basin exposes lunar mantle material, but due to the lack of observation of large-scale olivine, some studies speculate that the main component of the lunar mantle is low-calcium pyroxene rather than olivine like the earth. Geochemical analysis of the samples will help to uncover this mystery.
- The lunar impact flux function. With the radiometric ages of the samples and the crater size-frequency distribution of the areas represented by the samples, the lunar impact flux function can be further optimized. This is the only sample from the far side of the Moon, and it is of great significance for studying the distribution of lunar impact fluxes.
- The volcanic eruption inside SPA basin. Current research shows that the thickness of the lunar crust inside SPA is small, but there is no large-scale basalt exposure inside. Geochemical research on CE-6 samples, especially the comparison with the chemical composition of basalt on the nearside of the Moon, will help solve this problem.
- The asymmetry of the Moon. By combining the above analyses, the long-standing issue of the asymmetry between the near and far sides of the Moon on the crust thickness, volcanic activity, internal structure is expected to be resolved, which has perplexed geologists for decades.

Indeed, there are similar trends, but there's also the dialectic at play where a new synthesis constantly emerges. It's just just the same thing repeating over and over.

Indeed, I the big difference nowadays is that people in the imperial core increasingly see the true face of the empire.
It's absolutely incredible to me that the imbeciles running burger empire are shocked that their adversaries are taking move to counter what they're doing. Like they really thought everybody would just sit back and let them do whatever they want.
Thing is that the trust has collapsed at this point. Nobody outside the west believes in US anymore as evidence by most of the world aligning with Russia, and even in the imperial core people are losing faith in the system. There's a reason people in US now see TikTok as a more reliable source of news https://www.businessinsider.com/social-users-think-tiktok-news-more-reliable-than-instagram-facebook-2024-6
