Not uh bro, just give them another 5 years and their build quality will improve.......

It's almost like manufacturing vehicles takes skilled labor or something. I'll be happy when their valuation finally reflects something approaching realistic numbers. Just comparing simple metrics like employee retention should have been enough to tip off investors that Tesla was massively overvalued.

I mean there's a reason the other major manufacturers haven't killed off unions completely. You can't just keep replacing your entire workforce every couple years and expect any kind of quality control.

This is nothing, on hexbear there's a person pretending to be like half a dozen different Palestinians with different fraudulent GoFundMe. They cook up a new persona like every other week using pictures they scrape from the media and then run it through an AI filter.

I mean, they know it's not "legal", they are just testing the boundaries of judicial oversight. They are going to push boundaries and whenever they get any kind of push back they are going to scream about persecution and claim judicial over reach.

The point is to overwhelm the system to the point of breaking and then claim we don't need to listen to the judicial system, because look how broken it is.

These people aren't stupid, they're just fascist who know things like legal systems are social contracts that depend on good will and trust to operate. If they can break that good will and trust them they can rewrite the social contract.

It is dangerous to assume these people are just stupid.

Lol, not even trying anymore. That's cool, projection is a helluva drug.

could ask you why liberal trolls all have the same script too.

Yes, everyone who is critical of a pretend campist is a liberal..... At least you're not even denying that you're just a Russian nationalist.

Have a good one

There's no fundamental difference between Russian and western oligarchs having influence over Ukraine.

That's a non sequitur from the discussion we were talking about.

Yeah, that's not what happened.

I guess it's inarguable since you said it with such conviction.....

Claiming that these people represent majority of Ukrainians is the height of intellectual dishonesty

"As for the conflict itself, over 50% sided with the protesters and volunteers. More than half of the respondents discountenanced the authorities and pro-government anti-Maidan protesters. The main adversary of the Euromaidan was Viktor Yanukovych and his closest allies, 71% of the pollees believe."

It's fairly unanimous that the protest were mainly against Viktor Yanukovych.

Not surprisingly, you're once again making statements at odds with the basic facts of the situation.

Wow, such a good argument. How can anyone compete with the sophisticated rebuttal of "not uh".

guess you'll just keep repeating this like baby Goebbels

Hmmm.... I can't refute this fact, I guess I'll just call anyone who disagrees with me a Nazi. Big brain move.

The substack points to plenty of sources to substantiate the argument.

First of all, half of the links in that substack are dead. Secondly, just because you claim a piece of evidence substanciates your argument doesn't make it true. Having a link saying 6 people from America went and observed an election, doesn't mean they were part of an overall conspiracy to overthrow a country. Especially considering the people in that country attribute the actual rebellion as a response to Yanukovych sicking the police on a peaceful protest.

I'm not attacking the "evidence" in the substack, I'm attacking the overall narrative that run counter to reality.

Nobody said they're solely responsible for regime change.

You haven't offered any other reasoning.....

to put more effort into your trolling to make it less transparent at least.

Lol, anytime anyone disagrees with you it's trolling.

US is capitalizing on it and has done so since 2014.

By taking away the wealth of the oligarchs who supposedly handed over power to the US in the first place? Sure.

Maybe learn a bit about the subject you're attempting to debate as not to make a clown of yourself in public.

Man, you really are just a broken record. What is your obsession with clowns?

Why is it that all Russian nationalist argue in the same exact way?

I wouldn't bother too much, he's not arguing in good faith. He's just a Russian nationalist pretending to be a campist. Capitalist imperialism is a disease and needs to be stomped out.....except for in Russia, which is totally going to be socialist any day now.

didn't have any actual point to make here.

Being purposely obtuse is not a rebuttal....

was independent in a sense of having sovereign domestic policy which it lost after the coup by the west.

Just because the people of Ukraine overthrew a government that was being controlled by the benefactors of Russian capital for a government controlled by people who want to take loans from the US and Western Europe does not mean there was a "coup by the west".

Not surprisingly you are stripping any sense of autonomy from the people of Ukraine. Could it be that the people of Ukraine were just tired of being the poorest nation in Europe despite their size, agricultural output, and mineral wealth?

Ukraine was allowed to stay independent then the war would not have happened

Meaning if Ukraine had continued to be controlled by oligarchs loyal to Russia, Russia wouldn't have had to invade. Sure.

We've already established that it's actually that the west that wants to maintain control over Ukrainian politics as was evidenced by the west overthrowing the government in Ukraine.

I don't think posting the substack of an author who works for the Russian media is really enough to establish anything. The guy is clearly not a reliable narrator, and his "evidence" is hardly sufficient to validate his claims.

shred of intellectual integrity.

Lol, the pot calling the kettle black.

Literally that org that is known for doing regime change around the world.

Every powerful nation in the world has lobbying groups of a similar order. Saying that they are solely responsible for regime change all over the world is just reductionist and ignores the autonomy of the people in those nations.

The whole western proxy war is backfiring right now as well.

So America is so powerful they can overthrow a nation with a ngo, but so weak they can't capitalize on it...... curious.

As opposed to the oligarchic system in the west?

Did I deny that the west had its own oligarchic system? No, it wasn't pertinent because we were talking about Ukraine prior to 2014.

Your claim was that Ukraine was "independent", when in reality the majority of the wealth was held by Ukrainian oligarchs with deep ties to Russian capital.

Russia wanting to maintain economic relations with Ukraine isn't the conspiracy theory you seem to think it is.

Russia wanting to maintain control of Ukrainians politics through the wealth of their oligarchs is literally a conspiracy. I'd say it's a lot more influential than a US backed org like freedom radio or what have you.

The credit goes to the US and it's pretty well documented at this point https://kitklarenberg.substack.com/p/anatomy-of-a-coup-how-cia-front-laid

Ahh, yes... The national endowment fund..... So powerful they could take over the government by funding..... Independent Journalism?

Surely having a few people control 80% of the countrys wealth has nothing to do with people being upset at the status quo..

certain oligarchs in Ukraine decided to throw their lot with the US

Yeah, because that worked out for them....

November 2023 there were only two billionaires left in Ukraine, these being Rinat Akhmetov ($6.59 billion) and Viktor Pinchuk ($1.72 billion).[7] In November 2022 they had counted nine billionaires.[7] The February 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and its negative impact on the economy of Ukraine led to the decline in billionaires.[8]

What actually happened was that the west was not ok with Ukraine being independent and instigated a coup there.

By independent, you mean controlled by the same oligarchic system as the Russian federation?

While you are correct that Russia really didn't need the minerals in Ukraine, they did want to maintain relations with the oligarchs that controlled the majority of Ukraine wealth. They especially wanted to maintain relations with the oligarchs like Akhmetov, Kolomoisky, Pinchuk, and Firtash. Who were responsible for mediating Russian gas sales to Ukraine.

Of course the US has their fingers in geopolitics around the globe, but giving them credit for the revolution in 2014 is a bit generous imo. I mean, when is the last time America did anything at this scale with any kind of competency?

In 2008, the combined wealth of Ukraine's 50 richest oligarchs was equal to 85% of Ukraine's GDP.[3] In November 2013, this number was 45% (of GDP).[

In reality this is the reason for the revolution. It's also the same reason why America's billionaire president is now supporting Russia. The ultra wealthy have long craved the control Russia's oligarchy has over the state.

federal judge denied unions' attempts to block the firings.

This isn't because the judge is being complicit, but rather they didn't know if they possess the jurisdiction to do so. They suggested that it be put forward to the NLRB. However, Trumps administration has illegally fired the heads of the NLRB, reducing it below the legal number required for them to make a quorum. So that's probably going to have to be figured out in a federal court before the NLRB does anything.

Everything is being dismantled because of our democracies inability to manage procedural doctrine. Death by paperwork is such a drab way for democracy to whimper out of existence. At least the Nazi had the Reichstag fire as a symbolic death of democracy. While were getting taken out because too many baby boomers judges are being too lackadaisical to do their jobs.

Yes, and it's not including the initial invasion and occupation from 2014-2022. However, these types of people see any kind of logical assumption as outright manipulation and opportunities to validate their "alternative facts".

Russia is not israel, they don't attack civilians (despite what similar liars to yourself will claim) and civilian infrastructure and life goes on.

"As of 31 August, the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU) had verified that conflict-related violence had killed 11,743 civilians and injured 24,614 in Ukraine since 24 February 2022.

During the reporting period, Russian armed forces continued to target energy infrastructure across Ukraine, affecting essential services and deepening concerns about the plight of the civilian population with winter approaching."

Honesty seems to be a problematic concept for the people supporting the Russian invasion of Ukraine....

Also, I am surprised you even pretend to care about constitutions considering Putin had to rewrite Russias to stay in power past 2024.

Almost as much of a waste of time as creating alt accounts solely to defend Russian geopolitics?

Honestly, what is the point of pretending to be a leftist while defending the Russian oligarchs? I get critical of the American oligarchs, but what is the point of cheerleading an even more hierarchical and violent form of capitalist imperialism?

Well, the Area of the Russian Federation in Europe is 39% of the European landmass. This has nothing to do with the Asian part of Russia. The Russian Federation is about 1.7-1.8x the landmass of the European continent.

Still.... I don't really know how mostly empty tundra is really prevalent to the discussion.

And with a hundred million Russians living in the European part, that makes the largest ethnical group, considering the differences between the slavic ethnicities.

This is true, and I do wish there wasn't an artificial constructed delineation between Russia and the rest of Europe. However, I don't really know how western Europe is really meant to overcome this considering Russian cultural ideology is still being haunted by the specter of the Russian empire.

As someone who's ethnically East asian, its always funny when I hear Russians consider themselves "The East", when the only historical ties they have to the actual East is European styled imperialism.

Ethnical, Cultural and Historical divides are a poor and often arbitrary metric to justify modern Nations borders, both in joining or separating areas.

100% agree.

Also Russian in its legitimate borders makes up almost half of the European continent.

Not sure if land mass is exactly prevalent in this, as most of Russia is just colonized portions of Asia.

When we are past this whole mess we need to stop thinking of the EU as "Europe" and the other half of the European continent as "not Europe".

It takes two to tango..... A lot of the modern ideas separating Russia from Europe was done as a way to validate Russian imperialism. This idea is being continued by people like Putin for the same reasons.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasianism

Also ethnically speaking Slavs are the largest ethnic group in Europe with about 300 Million people.

Yeah..... But thinking of Slavs as a monoculture is really dated, and kinda goes against the way we classify ethnicities all together. East, West and Southern Slavs are separated by distinct cultural groups, religions, languages, and about 1500 years of history.

Only if you want to show everyone you're a good boy!

Yeah.... Unless things have significantly changed since I lived in Dallas 10 years ago, I'd say this is just dpd not wanting to add additional work on their plate. Getting them to respond to anything short of murder was like pulling teeth.

Yeah, Giáp is undeniably one of the greatest minds in modern military history. Not only did he defeat some of the most powerful militaries in the world, he did so in strategically different positions.

I can't think of another commander who excelled against an occupying force as an insurgent, was successful in counter insurgency, and defeated a better armed opponent in a head to head battle.

You're totally right, if America had a general as successful everything in the US military would be named after them, we'd never hear the end of it.

Feel like this is really belittling to the VC and PAVN, the Ho Chi Minh trail is rightfully known as one of the greatest achievements of military engineering in the 20th century.

The North Vietnamese military didn't win because America was just that incompetent, they had arguably a couple of the best generals in modern history. I mean they defended against the armies of France, America, cambodia and China within a couple decades.

Actually, when a plane feels safe and trusts its pilots it will show you its belly in a display of vulnerability to communicate its feelings.
