Look at where the conscripts are coming from. You tell me.

Ukrainian nationalism as a concept is something that has always been a Kyiv-centered idea. This is true stretching back to the Russian Revolution, as well. The concept of Ukraine as an independent state has always been Kyiv's idea.

Tell me you don't understand Russian history without telling me you don't understand Russian history.

Anyone following the Ukraine war 2014-2022 would know that this is a common occurrence. It's only news because the war went hot with a foreign power.

Honestly not sure if it's even news worth posting tbh.

The only company to have actually received money from CHIPS is the defence contractor BAE Systems.

Good riddance lol

US: is demanded to leave

US: doesn't leave

US: gets hit by missiles

How could Iraq do this???

Lmao the hypocrisy in people downvoting this comment when they simultaneously complain every time a Chinese car or DJI camera ends up in Russia.

If you weren't going to complain about the US being the sole supplier of the materials needed for Japan's invasion of China (and the ensuing massacres, mass rapes, etc.), shut the fuck up.

This is just Zelenskyi's government in Kyiv sacrificing everyone else to maintain the notion of a Ukrainian state for the wealthy elite who (coincidentally) live in Kyiv. Look at where the rich are. Look at where most conscripts are from.

Ukraine is split into the ultra wealthy (Kyiv), the moderately well-off (Dnipro, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv), and everywhere else (which is remarkably poor). Kyiv has more than double the GDP/capita of the next richest administrative region. This war devastates the eastern economic centers and solidifies power in Kyiv... And for what?

Ukrainian nationalism have sent hundreds of thousands of men and women to their death for no clear gains. Now, they want to send hundreds of thousands more, because the lives of Ukrainians mean nothing to the people in the white ivory towers of Kyiv. Is the sacrifice of more Ukrainian lives worth it to pursue the Western ideal of crushing Russia (so that the West can collectively focus on the Middle East and China instead)?

Operation Prosperity Guardian going well

the top spots are occupied by bisphenols (present in rigid plastics and resins in contact with food), polychlorinated dioxins (emitted by household waste incinerators in particular) and certain phthalates (present in soft plastics). Parabens (present in certain cosmetics and hygiene products), as well as paracetamol (a widely-used analgesic), were also singled out by the researchers.

exposure to pesticides from the organophosphate and carbamate family reduced sperm concentration in the semen of individuals exposed throughout their lives

Right? It's a sign of the rapidly emerging split between the West and the rest. This would be akin to the US accepting an official delegation from Taiwan.

A second communist revolution in Russia cannot happen soon enough.

Hamas now suddenly has international recognition. This is huge and should be an international scandal if Israel was managing relations properly, but they're too concerned about their genocide to care.

Watch as terminally online Americans come up with a reason why this makes China bad, Israel good, and the genocide justified.

Europe continues its terrifyingly quick slide towards fascism. This time, though, there will be no Soviet Union to defeat the imperialist fascist threat through attrition.

There's a reason China's interfacing through Taleban.

He wants more inheritance money lol

Zelensky thinks he's more important than he is.
