Public opinion in Eastern European NATO countries is very much pro-Ukraine. They want NATO to send more weapons.

In fact, they have gone above and beyond to send them more weapons (percent-wise), than other countries.

But Ukraine is not a member. There is no reassurance required, or given, by NATO supplying non-members. In fact one could easily make the opposite claim: NATO depleting its own ammunition stores is doing the opposite of reassuring its members, by decreasing its own margins of safety.

Assurance to the other Eastern European countries that are members (read my previous response). The other Eastern European countries want to supply weapons to Ukraine (they have gone above and beyond to send extra to Ukraine).

Yes, NATO doesn't want a deal that could spark another war. And they also offered Ukraine a way to settle a dispute, lose territory, and stop a current war.

Explain to me then: How is the west forcing Ukraine to keep fighting? And don't say "stop supplying weapons", NATO has to assure their members that they would stand by them.

If NATO wants to stop the war, then why does it keep supplying Ukraine with weapons? Don't you think that indicates they want the war to go on indefinitely (and help out U.S. military industrial complex)?

NATO wants to give assurances to their Eastern European members that they won't bail on them when Russia starts eyeing their territory.

If they wanted to keep the war going, they wouldn't have made the offer in the first place.

Interesting how tankies keep saying that the west is forcing Ukraine to keep fighting. But when NATO suggests they give some land to Russia to stop the war, the Ukrainians get offended and want to keep fighting. 🤔

Don't feed the tankie.

Don't worry, lemmygrad will be here in a second with a bunch of whataboutism about the US.

It runs inside a docker container, so you could even have it locally (if you don't want to host it on a VPS).

They also competed naked.

Definitely a more sophisticated time.

First world tankie LARPer.

If you read the actual Hacker News thread, they were getting a 5sec delay with wget, but not curl.

Don't remember the details, but it could have been a bug in twitter's code (i.e. not malicious). But we'll probably not know the truth because Elon does not reply to media enquiries, and tech journalists love a juicy story.

You're welcome. :)

Change your settings.yml to have this

    
enabled_plugins:
  - 'Hostname replace'  # see hostname_replace configuration below

  

And then define the rules like this:

    
hostname_replace:
#   My redirects
  '(.*\.)?reddit\.com$': 'old.reddit.com'
#   My filters
  'slant\.co': false
  'dailymail\.co\.uk': false

  

They have to beat the UK, Japan, and Germany.

None are economies on the rise (and the UK is doing poorly, they might already have surpassed them).

Wouldn't be surprised if it eventually happens, but beating all 3 in five years might be a stretch.

EDIT: this is nominal GDP. They will definitely not reach the same GDP per capita anytime soon.

SearXNG.

It's like having a search engine customised to my needs.

Automatically filters out SEO junk sites, and redirects links automatically (e.g. reddit.com -> old.reddit.com)

And yet, tankies still defend this corrupt capitalist state just because it's not the US.

Nevermind political persecution, assassinations, repression of LGBT people, invasion of neighbouring countries, etc. As long as it's not the US, it's all good.

Tankie propaganda on lemmy?

I'm shocked. /s

Hi first-world revolutionary LARPer. 👋

The UK isn't exactly a Russian neighbor.

You seem to be ignoring the fact that after the fall of the USSR, Russia didn't want their assets to be sold or leased to western companies (understandably), so they let corrupt officials take them for pennies of what they were actually worth. Those officials became the oligarchs.

Russians cannibalised Russia.
