  • I see two reasons for Russia to accept a cease fire : they are happy with what they took and want to keep it, so a cease fire is better because there is no treaty to give back anything ; or they want a bit of time to rebuild their supply of ammo and equipment before they go back at it.

    The first one would be if the US continue to support Ukraine. It would make it like the west is now supporting the war while Russia is asking for peace (totally hypocritical of course). Russia could stand on its positions and solidify them if it’s accepted. If Ukraine continue the war, it’ll be Ukraine on the offensive, which is a harder position.

    The second one would be if Ukraine loses US support and ask for a cease fire after the dombass is fully taken. Russia wouldn’t be armed to take it to rebuild it’s supply before going again. The risk here would be that nato or UN send forces in Ukraine, and if Europe take this time to increase its weapon production too, but those are unlikely on a short term.



  • I’ve seen a video about an ammunition being developed to be adapted to the underbarrel grenade launcher. Problem is that it needs to be ready if you any chance at it, and you only have one chance.

    Second problem is that most Russian soldiers are barely trained and equipped anyway, they’re just litteral canon fodder. Elite troops certainly have something to fight drones, but I suspect jamming would be the first layer. The video we see are most probably against the canon fodder.

    It makes it more dangerous : the sting is attach to the venom bag, so the venom bag gets to empty itself whole if it stays. Evolution would have chosen the survival of the hive, not the survival of the bee.

    One thing is weird though : you can extract the sting of a wasp with a pincer. The wasp will live through it. Why do the bee dies when it loses it’s sting and not the wasp?




  • That’s blatantly wrong. There is a tradition in France for all parties to ally to prevent the fascists from accessing power, but that’s only an election alliance. It barely worked for the last election : the left does vote against the fascists every time, but some liberals refused to stand back in favor of some left candidates, and liberal voters largely refused to vote for the left because of the anti-left propaganda. This lead to the fascists making a third of the assemblé nationale.

    Now the president must choose a prime minister, but the left arrived first, and he refuses to let them get the power. So he waits for anyone to accept an alliance with the liberals which is not happening yet.

    Predictions are going that he will end choosing a PM that is fascist compatible rather than letting the left have any power in the executive.


  • Il avait un programme politique exceptionnel, mais il était au PS avec Hollande, et il s’est poignardé dans le dos par l’aile droite du PS qui est parti soutenir macron. C’était pas vraiment que c’était pas le bon moment, c’était plutôt le pire contexte pour proposer ce programme. Le PS 1vait son étiquette de traître, et il ne s’en est pas désolidarisé. Beaucoup se souvenaient encore de Hollande qui prétendait que son ennemi était la finance…


  • C’est tout à fait vrai. C’est ce qui justifie une déstitution d’ailleurs, mais comme indiqué elle n’aboutira pas.

    Après, foutu c’est un grand mot. Y aura des points d’étape de la montée vers la dictature. Le premier sera le budget. Mais y a des outils pour passer outre ce problème. Le second, ce sera dans un an quand macron pourra redissoudre et nous expliquer qu’il faudra mieux voter cette fois. Le troisième, ce sera la présidentielle dans 3 ans.
