The russian army is entirely bound in its invasion into Ukraine. If it weren’t for the threat of nuclear annihilation, NATO would get to Moscow within 3 days. A true 3-day military operation.

Ah yes, because the Taliban will surely buy food for children with that money, pinky promise!

It’s the truth. Putin wanted this war and the Russian people have been indoctrinated into following him blindly. The allied carpet-bombings of Nazi Germany caused untold suffering, but they were necessary to break the German will to fight. Hitler could’ve stopped the carpet bombing by surrendering. He could’ve prevented them from ever occurring, if he hadn’t started wars with all neighbouring countries. Just as Hitler then, Putin now can stop this war. And it is Putin that could’ve prevented this war from ever taking place, if he hadn’t invaded. But he did invade Ukraine. The untold number of crimes against humanity have been committed by the Russian army under his watch and it was his decision to send over 600.000 Russian troops to get crippled or killed in Ukraine. It is his war that just caused this man to lose his wive and three daughters (trigger warning: r*ddit). I truly hold no sympathy for any Russian that chooses to participate in this invasion. Whatever happens to them, they deserve it.

“They did it first and continue to do it” is a pretty good reason in my book. The more decicive Russian losses are, the faster public sentiment will turn against Putin.

If your enemy makes it very clear that they want to see you dead and your nation destroyed no matter the cost, why should you be beholden to giving them an advantage? Ukraine won’t win with moral superiority.

Russia is already using thermite charges, thermobaric weapons and tear gas. They get what’s coming to them.

I’d go even further. The AfD threatens the current (democratic) system. Most AfD voters vote for them for this exact reason. They want to “enact revenge” on a system they feel left behind by IMO.

Depending on how recently they were executed, it makes perfect sense. As the one holding hostages, you want to set the precedent that the only way to get them out alive is via negotiation.

Discoverability is an issue that I identified quickly. One reason why artists mostly stick to X may very well be the small user base, as well the fractured nature of the fediverse making it hard to gain reach

Seems a little bit unfair to me that a reusable launch system can be grounded for issues on the way back, when discarding launch systems do not have to content with that.

The ending really brings the whole video together. Thanks for sharing!

He can leave for Russia. I hear they have great real estate. Big windows. To fall for.

That’s what I wanted to write as well. This smells like a self-report.

Ok, so it works, but it more or less hacked tohether and not officially supported. BlueSky still wants to have its walled garfen.

Does BlueSky now have ActivityPub support?

No, it’s more about the radar and the missile avoidance systems. Though for the AIM air-to-air rockets, they explode so high up in the air that finding wreckage of them may be difficult.

Those planes still operate behind the front line. Maybe NATO is more concerned about planes not being able to protect themselves, than them straying into enemy territory and getting shot down.

But no balls. You hear that, Biden? YOU GOT NO BALLS TO TEST YOUR NEW IMMUNITY! Prove me wrong!

Orban, being the contrarian that he is, finds friends in those that seek to undermine european and western unity. Russia, China and Trump fall into that category. Ukraine is forced to host Orban, because he is the biggest roadblock amongst Ukrainian allies for more aid. And Hungary has taken over the presidency of the council of the European Union, which rotates every six months.

As for why Orban is president of Hungary: Corruption and propaganda. Orban controls the big media institutions and has all other press harassed. He has control over the judiciary and a wide net of sympathisers both within and without the government. He is as close to being a dictator as the EU will let him and he keeps testing the waters to strengthen his control further.

A large hungarian voter base is as loyal to him as MAGAites are to Trump.
