Same here, never heard of them before Lemmy. I was shocked by their illogical statements and behavior. I couldn’t believe anyone could hold such inconsistent beliefs and not just melt their brain, by so many mental gymnastics and plot holes. I still can’t. It just makes way more sense that they are all done kind of weird Russian ai experiment.

Slovenia was first 🙂, but I think they weren’t definitive about it. Probably they wanted to wait so they wouldn’t be the only one.

Yeah, what is antifascist ideology? Like, equal rights, being nice,… That kind of stuff?

And transgender ideology? What is that? To be nice to transgender people?

It has to start somewhere.

Possibly. I’ve heard some niche communities use it, but I also heard that there is a strong transition to matrix.

Heyday was wild though.

Hahaha!

Why did IRC even fail. It had it all.

I think that’s really beautiful.

I hope they all find a good Russian target.

It’s also a matter of local politics. You can’t show you can be bullied. It’s understandable. I think it’s important for Modi to show he’s the man, but he will do what’s right when the time comes.

I’m just not very optimistic. To many people have predicted that Russia would crumble and they did remarkably well.

I’m always sceptical of EU programs. Usually they start a few years later after all the documentation is finally approved, then the licenses and planning for a year and the first products come another year after. 🙄 Didn’t know if danish model, I’ll look it up.

Regarding Russia, I think they could step up production. They could get to a point where they launch 1000 a day in a year or two. It’s possible, they are really into this war. And there is no internal descent.

You think it’s possible to do so much damage with precision strikes, to cripple Russias drone production. They have been striking oil refineries for a while now and I didn’t see any credible resources about how much effect that actually had.

Mostly I agree. But on the material side, like you said, they aren’t using tanks anymore, just infantry, because that works for them. They are burning through their soldiers and their salaries, but they have a lot more. I have no way to judge it, but I’ve mostly heard they are fine for maybe two years. But after that they can do another selective mobilization that will be enough for another year and so on. We can’t rely on them running out of anything. Same with the drones, they will build more and more faster. I don’t see a way to stop that, even with Ukrainian long-range drones. You can’t stop 1000 drones/day each at another apartment building.

Not to mention Ukraine has its own issues, not only with material, but recruiting as well. It’s pretty bleak.

Maybe if the Americans sanctions did something. If the west gave Ukraine the good weapons and ramped up drone production and developed done fantastic anti-drone protection…

Trump does that a lot, he gets in the news, gets “the deal”, what happens later when they start to correct him is no longer first page news and he can say they went back on the deal. And sometimes everyone just goes with it. Not sure if it’s strategy, his narcissism or stupidity/dementia.

But like you said, Russia feel like they can do more and it seems they can. Large scale drone attacks are getting bigger and bigger and Ukrainian casualties are getting bigger and bigger. They are unable to defend, I doubt any western weapon can do that right now, even if they get a few more patriots and irises. Russia has some marginal success also on the battlefield.

It’s not a good situation. Might be years before Russian economy starts to hurt enough for them to think of an end to this, if at all.

I think people should not be so obsessed with this, of course they are not serious terms. In reality they haven’t event changed from the one that were rejected. They aren’t even terms, just capitulation. There is nothing there.

But people are dying. Still better to have a line of discussion then not.

It’s strange, but I’ve seen lots of comments that are not aware this is fake. The ai hater crowd is using it as their proof, the other side saying he is using it wrong.

Killing has to stop and terms must prevent it happening again, that’s the main thing.

That’s also the main thing Ukraine wants and unfortunately the latter seems what Putin doesn’t want the most.

They will accelerate the war profiteering, without a doubt. Still better than not selling the weapons at all, which could also happen.

Jesus effin Christ! I had no idea! This is madness! This is … Omfg I just can’t

Finally a bit more thoughtfulness in an article.

It’s all about security guarantees, not the land. The point is to agree on security guarantees and it’s very very unlikely this will be NATO. This has been said so many times now, it makes no difference is Trump it anyone repeates it once again.

We need comprehensive security guarantees on the table worked out in detail. Let’s say a similar agreements as NATO with the US and EU and with European forces at the border for 50 years. The proposal itself would bear weight and could be the main taking point as the war continues and hopefully freezes as soon as possible with the agreement in place.

Thats the main thing. Ukraine can give up land, as long it’s not the big cities which serve as a defense line.

That is by far the best agreement Russia can get without this getting totally out of hand.
