Pretty much. The soviets have systematically cultivated political apathy and pootler has brought it to the next level. Imagine having access to millions of bodies and nobody cares when you expend a million or two. That's dictator's wet dream.

There will be no civil war in russia after their defeat. They were all conditioned into complete apathy (that's why all other dictators and wannabes are paying attention). That's why most of those who join today, do that simply for money.

So all that might happen is mafia clashes as they will establish new spheres of control and then it will come back to the rise of the next "great" leader.

Fuel is directly used in war. Electricity in the near-front areas is the same.

Heating in the cities that are not engaged in direct military activities is a terrorist tactic designed to kill or at least break the will of civilians.

That's different.

I'm hopeful. Ventura is very black and white, so I expect those that wanted and will want to vote him, already did, so in the second round he'll get the same 25%. Fingers crossed.

I'm afraid if something is disturbing his sleep, it's not the casualties, but the prospect of him personally losing this war. So if he needs to send another million, they are but cheers pieces. "Women will birth new ones" is the popular saying in that insane asylum.

Yup, I cannot find the original article, but I think you're right. What's more is that in Ukrainian, metastasis is virtually never used in a verb form (you can buy it's awkward), so it's indeed caused by the author knowing it has a verb form in English, but being somewhat unfamiliar with its use.

I hope there's no gate

It's the bigger more expensive ones

Remember when "Initially, Hamas was discreetly supported by Israel, as a counter-balance to the secular Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) to prevent the creation of an independent Palestinian state."

"some" as in "few". A country which can afford to waste 1.2 million lives in a meat grinder is likely made of those who don't mind the war. Especially if they're winning and vodka and Coca-Cola are affordable. And when they say they want the war to end, they mean they want to get back to winning and affordable vodka, not that the war is a terrible thing.

I don't think it's a loophole. Surgeons hurt people in order to prevent a greater pain. ruZZia is just a cancer.

In case yours is not a retorical question, it's a terrorist tactic.

 

By degrading a near-peer adversary’s military capability, gaining unprecedented battlefield intelligence, and accelerating the testing and development of advanced weapons systems, the U.S. is realizing a Return on Strategic Investment (ROSI) of 321% to 797%

 

2.5 years to halve the reserves, the spend cannot be linear and I also don't think they need to get to zero to have a collapse.

... The economy is being funded by the cash reserves, which increases inflation, which leads to another round of interest rate hikes to combat inflation, which makes it harder to borrow money, which is necessary for economic growth. Eventually, the cash reserves will run out. It took 2.5 years to deplete half the Russian reserves. Russia withdrew $37 billion to cover deficits in December 2022. It withdrew $20 billion to cover deficits in December 2023. It only has $54 billion left.

 

If anything, russia is showing clear signs of sunk-cost fallacy

In today's #vatniksoup I'll talk about Russian Nazis and introduce Russian neo-Nazi movements and paramilitary groups like Rusich and PMC Wagner. They're best-known for being funded by the Kremlin and being responsible for the "denazification" in Ukraine.

 

So basically, we're waiting for a (hopefully very soon) systemic collapse of moscovite army since they bet both their attack and defence on artillery
