What actually happened? I know nothing about it except the name. Why it is considered dead by others?

LOL I thought of Witcher too.

Ryan is good explaining how military operates, how weapon works, but this is really about predicting what trump will do, and frankly this is much harder to do.

We talk about common sense, it is a non brainier, as helping Ukraine stop Russia is the most beneficial thing for the US and the West. As he pointed out, Ukraine losing likely will bring war to the rest of the Europe and Taiwan, but trump might not care.

What worries me is that so far trump never stood up against putin, he insulted many world leaders, but never did that to putin.

The reason likely is that he was almost bankrupt and putin help him get on his feet, he has a huge debt to him.

I also link to Anders Puck Nielsen https://youtu.be/gOwjmKMmkV4 he is generally more familiar with strategy and so far was on point in his comments (I also believe Ryan is watching him too). Again, we are trying to predict what trump will do, which is not as easy and his decisions seem to be more about what gives him immediate benefit.

The absolute worst scenario that could happen is that the NATO collapses. I hope that won't happen.

The argument was that Russia has no chance against Poland, because how it is doing on Ukraine.

But it won't be Russia vs Poland it will be Russia + Ukraine + (whatever else putin gets on the way).

He also won't have any problem sending Ukrainians to die fighting with Poles.

You're forgetting that if Russia takes Ukraine it can use their resources to continue fighting.

Nazis were weak when they attacked Czechoslovakia and then Poland.

She has to take current strategy, because people like you are not voting, so in order to win she has to rely on votes of people that you don't agree with.

I read recently "On Freedom" by Timothy Snyder and he mentions that. Billionaires are sucking or wealth and when we suffer, we are told that this is temporary and toward a greater good (which never comes).

Sadly it is successful and a lot of Americans believe that.

It opened my eyes seeing how we are set up to fight each other (blaming minorities) while oligarchs are making our lives more miserable by hoarding country's wealth.

I still don't get how we ignored our own constitution and allowed insurectionist to have a second chance.

WTF America?

I mean it's early to tell, but so far it is reported that those were precise attacks towards military targets. So if that's true, that would explain that attitude from ordinary Iranians.

Is there a way to switch UI without switching the server. I do not like the web UI, I got used to old Reddit + RES.

What is "No need YT ads" and the "Ctrl+P"?

Isn't Ghostery made by an ads company?

We desperately need tax on wealth.

Yeah, it primarily happens when people don't wash their hands, we normally have tons of them in certain place.

So yeah, ew.

In short, oligarchs want to get richer and want more power (there's never enough), you would think that poor conditions would wake people up, but as long as there less fortunate ones as us we are fine with it. It is easy to set us up against each other by telling that our misfortune is because of minorities and immigrants.

There's a book called On Freedom by Timothy Snyder that talks about it. I think everyone should read it. Once you are aware of the mechanisms it is easy to see.

You would think that Republicans breaking social security would surely lose them votes, but it is really easy to manipulate their base and tell them that there's not enough money in SSN because immigrants are getting free money and once again we are fighting with each other and once again oligarchs walk away with more wealth.

As long as DOJ would serve an indictment that would be a huge win.

You would think that maybe he would do photo op volunteering to help the hungry, but working at McDonald's is apparently more hot for politicians right now.

Seems like they are operating in now or never mode. Amy crime committed won't matter if trump wins. Looks like we didn't place any meaningful deterrent for things we learned in 2016 and 2020.

Twitter is for narcissists, and when they say Mastodon is not as good as twitter they really mean that there's not as many people watching them as on Twitter. So Bluesky gaining 500,000 new accounts could help in making it "better".

Yeah I was surprised about it. That tracking parameter is one that I notice the most and almost everyone includes it. It made me think that feature is either broken, or in misunderstanding what it supposed to do.
