So now they're going to conscript him?

Different stims have different effect. Also 6 weeks could be too early to settle on the dosage. With those three dosage is highly personal and not related with things like age, weight, etc. Heck, sometimes one might need a booster just because they're tired.

Good luck and congratulations with this small victory!

Fun fact. An average tenure for a CEO is 4 years. I will not be taking further questions.

Drink water. This sounds trite, but many people don't drink enough to start with and stimulants dehydrate. So drink even more water.

Around 100 have joined non-Russian institutes in order to continue their physics research work with Europe’s particle-physics laboratory.

Not exactly "completely out of your control", I'd say.

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.

They also held 293.189 tonnes of unallocated gold, compared with 298.84 tonnes on August 1, 303.579 tonnes on July 1 and 329.795 tonnes on June 1.

So they sold almost 40 tonnes of gold in 4 months? I approve that trend.

Yes.

On 18 June 2020, the Russian government lifted its ban on Telegram after it agreed to "help with extremism investigations".

Which means KGB has full access to all messages.

the answer is - it doesn't matter. the biggest learning from the nazi germany was that you don't need the entire population of a country to be homicidal psychopaths. all you need is a small group of those psychopaths, control or media, propaganda and you get a perfectly functioning system where normal everyday folks go to their normal everyday jobs.

just those jobs are in gestapo. or in maintenance of gas chambers. or making food for the equally confused soldiers.

of course, we should avoid civilian casualties as much as we can (but apparently russian army is not required) but the system needs to be stopped.

russia has cancer. chemoterapy is not a pleasant procedure that affects both ill and healthy cells. the alternative is, unfortunately, to allow that cancer to spread to the entire planet.

They actually do. 70% of russians support the war.

I have both and I think it's better to know, independent of the outcome.

Lol. That was my reaction too. "Oh, shit, it's a video - close".

My issue with videos is that they are too slow for relaying information. I'll be ok with it if there would be a two-sentence summary, after reading which I could decide if I want to watch it.

I suspect so that video says it's that phone calls don't relay the body language and that makes it more difficult to understand.

Ah, but it's all about the context.

See, nothing was done and nothing changed, is definitely not an update.

On the other hand, "russia lost 30'000 personell in November alone, but nothing changed" is a significant update.

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
