Would love to see data comparison on how cost and fuel efficient they are compared to other vehicle types as well as safety-related statistics.

But ultimately it is Ukraine, not Russia, that is better placed to win the peace, even as it concedes some losses in the war

I can't, Russia won but here's how Ukraine is STILL winning 🤣

The ZelEmperor sitting atop the solid gold toilet must be fed 10 000 men daily so that he can steal money from AFU, which they steal from European citizens.

Ancillary justice, book 1 so far. Got recommended it as I am a huge gestalt consciousness fan.

This year’s “corps reform” in the National Guard of Ukraine (NGU) elevated the 12th Azov and 13th Khartia brigades, which still exist within the larger units. It was the 4th Rubizh brigade that Zelensky visited from the 2nd NGU corps, another “elite” unit, which has two battalions (3rd and 4th) affiliated with the far-right political party “Svoboda.” Upon closer inspection, the “SS” troops were “trolling.” Their chevrons did not contain Nazi runes but a stylized 44, as in “4th brigade, 4th battalion,” as well as the fascist “44 Rules of Life of a Ukrainian Nationalist” from the 1930s.

We're still doing the irony cope 11 years into this "revolution". fucks sake

Reading this while I wait for the scheduled blackout to pass is sure an experience. also

Acknowledging the high cost and lengthy manufacturing time, Mr Zelensky suggested European countries could donate their Patriots and await replacements, stressing: "we would not like to wait."

yeah just give us all of your defensive emplacements. Who do you think you are?

Yeah, it's honestly maddening

I'm sure the video is good and informative, but I just hate the sensationalism of reporting on the war, regardless of the side. I hate the Mr Beast clickbaits, but slapping them onto wars that cost millions of people their lives is just completely out of touch with your humanity. I know this is probably me overreacting as someone who lives there but man do I wanna punch this guy rn.

What was that one pirate who said "because I pilage on a small ship I'm a pirate, you who ravage the whole world with a fleet are called an emperor" or something akin to that quote.

Comparing the rejuvenation of China to MAGA is insanely disrespectful and ignorant.

And, even if they did, it'd take a loooong while to get them captured and sent here, not to mention how extremely demoralized this new batch of troops would be (even more so than the current army). Too little too late.

Thank you, not out yet, but things are slowly coming together!

 

Long story short - I have slightly more than a year left before I'm legally required to serve in the Ukrainian military, not that it matters that much since they grab people off the streets anyway, but it will be an even bigger problem since I will officially have no "excuse" not to serve and will have to hide or escape before then, and it doesn't look like the war will end for the next god knows how many years. Has anyone here draft-dodged or escaped their country in a similar manner before? If so, any advice on how to do so?

 

To keep this post short, I would like to learn about Kowloon walled city since microstates and stuff that's adjacent to them fascinates me, and I would like to request some trusted sources that are not libbed up, like maybe a PRC documentary translated to English, but literally anything not covered in libslop will do. Thank you in advance!
