Yeah, but paranoid regimes never really trust each other. Dictators always want more and as much as you see handshakes and smiles, there's more going on behind the charade.

No reason why a nuke can’t fall from space onto Washington DC… it wouldn’t be detected by the spy sats as there would be no ICBM plume to track. I’ve been saying this for years now…. you could surprise nuke a country by dropping them from space like the rods from god.

Yes, it is slightly better than those countries, but still exhibits the usual authoritarian policies - crushing political protests, murdering political opponents, massive control of media, police state etc. etc. The majority of those that travel will be from Moscow and St Petersburg where they are allowed a few more freedoms.

It is not in the interest of the gov't for people to start stock piling supplies right before the outbreak of war, because those supplies would be wanted by the military, and the stockpiling would drive up prices etc.
Obviously, it is in the interest of the individual citizen to do it, but the gov't is definitely not going to advertise the fact that there's troop movement. The news will hit after it starts on its own.

> there's signed global agreements
it's worth as much as the paper it's signed on. These agreements are because both sides don't see real value in violating it. Space weaponry isn't really necessary (missiles do the job), and anti-satellite already exists.
You bet your ass that in a real war, the satellites will get shot down (for both sides). Its just the US has so much more that they have more to lose.

For some reason or another I am on a side of social media full of propaganda.
Far right propaganda, Russian propaganda, North Korean propaganda etc. You name it, I’m seeing it.
The North Korean side of things always fascinates me. Numerous accounts sharing videos of how amazing it is and all the things you can do there.
One video in particular stood out to me trying to dispel the “myth” that North Koreans aren’t allowed to use the internet. The video featured a very carefully organised room with a computer at each desk, almost every screen is just stuck on the Google search home page.
Some people are just staring at the screen doing nothing, others are only reading the national news, and I think one guy looked like he knew what he was doing. But it was all so obviously staged. Yet there are numerous comments questioning whether North Korea is actually that bad, or just completely failing to see through the veil of it all.
I guess the whole point of my comment here is you’d be surprised how easy people will just believe every little thing they’re told by one side or another.

>So whose idea of history is he saying his opponents are ignorant of?
Probably that most people are ignorant of the fact that like the USA, China suffered from terrorism which lead to the Xianjing crackdown.
China suffered [over 1000 dead and 1700+ wounded](http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang_conflict) due to terror attacks and put 1.5 million in camps as a result. Morally reprehensible, but as if China gives a fuck if it means crushing Islamic terrorism.

The last government fucked it all up in throwing it wide open after first moving to allow commercial
production of medical use marijuana… and now they have massive problems around use and wider addiction problems. Thailand isn’t really like anywhere else in the world, you can’t compare the place with typical western nations.

Don’t go to the Maldives, though pretty it’s the most Islamist government besides Iran and the population is the most Islamist in the world. Open practice of other religions is banned. Homosexuality is illegal. Non-Muslims are not allowed to become citizens. The law is based on sharia and judges are instructed to look to sharia to fill in the gaps if there is not a letter of the law to follow. Lashing/flogging is a punishment. Human trafficking is huge, about 1 in 5 people there are foreign workers from Bangladesh or India trapped in debt slavery.

A bit off-topic, but the only good thing about the way Germany legalized it is that you can just grow your own herbs. I think this is the best way to go if you want to smoke some. Invest into some equipment and grow your 4 plants. You don’t even need to be part of some stupid social club and you can just grow the strains you personally like.

That's nice but that's complete grade A bullshit. If you had a high school diploma almost 70 years ago you would easily land a job that paid well as well as own a house and a car and live comfortably, it has been proven. Quit regurgitating the "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" rhetoric because many people in my generation have a significant disadvantage and it's only getting worse with each generation. You are literally the minority.

The inequality of it all really gets to me.
If everyone was struggling, well then times would just be rough, you know? But in my circle of friends/acquaintances it's more like:
- 60% are having a really tough time, barely enough for rent, no job security despite master's degrees in STEM, experience, smarts, etc.
- 20% are doing okay, with fairly secure jobs, enough for their own place (some fairly nice apartments, no hope for owned property though)
- 15% are rolling in the disposable income, can do whatever (either renting very comfortably in fancy apartments or saving up for something of their own)
- 5% are just straight up rich
And even the 60% of my friend group are far from the really poor demographics I interact with at work, most of whom are or were incredibly hard workers, but just kind of didn't get lucky, didn't have the opportunities, etc..

This is about the hole i dug myself into without being aware of certain aspects yet and now i wish I've made different decisions in life...
For whoever reads this: be really careful what you decide to get yourself into in your life.... even if at the time it seems the best possible decision. Later i discovered that even tho at the time it seemed best decision, long term i fucked my life and others who started worse than me are now 3 times ahead of me. I'm killing myself over it mentally.... I skipped on a major part of my life experience jumped straight into adulthood into the deep end and i thought i am smarter than the others. I was just stupid, too eager to go through life... now i am eager to jump to the end. Fuck this shit

Of all the NATO countries, Canada is easily the most insulated from Russian threats by proximity to the USA, if for no other reason.

True, but if Canada doesn’t spend on defence, then Canada will be dictated to.

Can someone explain to me why the EU paying Russia for fuel is still a thing 3 years in???
"The EU was the fourth largest buyer of Russian fossil fuels in April, purchasing 9% (EUR 1.9 bn) of Russia’s total export earnings. Pipeline gas made up the largest share of the EU’s purchases of Russia’s fossil fuels (40%) followed by crude oil sent via pipeline (30%) and LNG (26%)."

There have been reports on X by several people, including his brother that Mamuka Mamulashvili who is the leader of the Georgian Legion is suffering from a heavy metals poisoning. Sounds awfully similar to what happened to Budanov's wife.

This shit is for purely internal consumption. It doesn’t make any sense to anyone rational or informed. Russians bask in playing victim. You need like 32oz of vodka, brain damage, and crippling insecurity for any of it to make any sense.

I don't disagree with you, but that doesn't seem like a terribly likely scenario given how unwilling Russia has been to honestly discuss past wrongdoing.

I really don’t know how Russia or Ukraine deal with cheap one way drones with super basic machine vision of “trained to fly into vaguely military vehicle and human looking shapes”.
All you do is give them a direction and set them loose.
The chips and cameras needed are cheap, those code is mostly in SDKs that exist.
Western armies would never accept the collateral risk, but both Ukraine and Russia easily would. The frontlines are mostly defined enough and not full of civilians.

At this point, I feel like their attacks in that area were just an effort to get Ukraine to kill off Russian "undesirables" for them.

Drone interceptors? Decoys? Saturation? Armour/cope cages?
Throw decoys and interceptors into an area until they appear to run out...
Yeah it terrifies me.
The defence of Avdiivka was already drastically changed by drones.

Not drones, but speaking of machine vision this was just reported:
>Ukrainian Ministry of Defense contracts Wolly remote weapon systems
>The Wolly turret is designed to mount 7.62 mm machine guns, including Soviet PKTs. The system operator can fire remotely at a distance of up to 100 meters from the turret.
>The module is controlled via a tablet and gamepad. It can operate autonomously for 130 hours and weighs 30 kg (excluding the weight of the ammunition).
>According to the developers, Wolly can be permanently installed in a trench with a control cable to the dugout.
>A neural network is integrated into the equipment’s combat system, which automatically calculates the distance to the object and ballistics, thus increasing the accuracy of fire. The manufacturers also claimed the ability to recognize targets.

Even when an arial drone is shot down, it likely costs the defender more in AA ammunition than it does to produce the drone.

The Lynx sounds really promising to me. I found articles talking about how the Lynx is designed to be more cost effective. Do you have any sources giving plausible info on cost and production rates?
I'm definitely still trying to learn on this topic.

Drones cannot take and hold positions. They cannot assault positions. They are great defensive and can act as enablers, but they cannot win or replace infantry assault groups. And infantry needs armored vehicles.

I think the proliferation of drones makes high-end IFVs and other vehicles a cost-prohibitive proposal. Not obsolete, just not cost effective. A Bradley or a CV-90 is a fantastic vehicle, but when you can only build a small number of IFVs at a high price and your enemy can produce tens of thousands of cheap FPV drones with RPG warheads, does that expensive IFV make sense? I don't think you can feasibly add enough armor to protect against drones, and while a 30 mm gun with proximity fused rounds will work well to take out drones, you'd have to modify the turrets quite a bit to give them the elevation and fire control necessary to be effective in that role, and the very limited ammunition capacity and time dedicated for watching for drones would compromise the gun's primary role as infantry support.
It seems like you either need a much more reliable anti-drone weapon for protection that can increase survivability (widespread deployment of dedicated anti-drone vehicles like Gepards, or a much more effective EW or APS system), or you need to rely on much cheaper vehicles that are effectively disposable. Basically M113s or similar simple vehicles with protection against 14.5 mm and lesser threats.

Wouldn't it shorten the war if we could somehow get a few million russian men to go live, work and pay taxes elsewhere?
Obviously some will be terrorists, so there's a risk to letting them in to western countries. There are other options, and things like deporting those who support the terrorist state and allowing asylum to those openly anti-Putin.

It seemed they were losing 1200-1300 men daily. Now it is below 1000.
I don't hear anymore about Russian troop shortages. So I don't know if Russia cares about those losses or not.
