She said "that's cos I can afford to eat so much better thanks to you".
Ukraine is the sort of place where people go without food due to lack of money.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Donald Trump But outside of Kiev, in the villages in the middle of nowhere, it's pretty obvious people are living from their gardens, drawing water from the well (no piped water), and heating their houses with wood. Pensions are like €70 a month. Not a lot of money to live on. You need to change how you live when you have so little money.
you just described most rural "americans" ovwr here.
shlomo parker is reliant on his well for water and logs for heating. and dogs for sex maybe. -

its impossible to have a well stocked grocery store if the majority of the populace cant afford them. -

second off.. Friendly fire happens everywhere in ever war. most likely a mistake. but then again, yeah Russia. they sacrificed 12 million Ukrainian jedis in WWI and WWII.
I hope you die slowly when they invade Poland and other Nato countries. Spread thinly or not, Putin aint going out without using Nukes first.

Originally posted by aldra I feel like Poland is kind of a bellwether in that regard; they were some of the most enthusiastic about arming and funding the Ukraine so long as they could benefit from it and now they're the first to rapidly drop them. much of the EU doesn't have any real sovereignty and just follows the 'Atlanticist' lead, but that's going to become untenable as their wealth and living standards fall
Slovakia's pulling out, claiming they can't afford to continue with their domestic problems
Britain seems confused with the Defence Minister talking about sending ground troops in to train and support the AFU but the PM quickly clarified that this was a possibility in the future, not now
Turkey wants to build a Bayraktar plant in the Ukraine, but it doesn't really make sense as to why they think it won't get bombed and why they're doing it in the first place considering how poorly the Bayraktars have performed in this environment -

Originally posted by aldra a single PATRIOT complex usually contains several batteries (the units that actually fire the missiles), one radar and one command unit. they can be spread over a kilometer or so but may not be depending on the terrain and what they're meant to be defending. as I understand it two complexes (so two radars, two command units etc.) were given to the AFU.
the radar unit is usually the primary target because A) disabling the radar disables the entire complex and B) it's the easiest thing to target because when active it blasts radio waves in all directions, which are easy to triangulate. for this reason it's most likely that Russia struck the radar unit, which disables 50% of their PATRIOT defences.
lol@ 'debunked' - even western media is reporting that a PATRIOT unit was 'damaged'. they claim that the damage was minor and that it can be repaired in-theatre, but if that were true they'd have no reason not to release images of the 'lightly damaged' unit. if it ate a Kinzhal as reported, it's unlikely the damage is repairable at all.
you can see clearly in the video I posted earlier that the battery fires 30 missiles, its entire magazine, in under two minutes, and right after that is when the missile comes down uncontested (even though you can't see exactly what it hit due to the angle and the buildings).
so what, the Wang Gang holds 95% instead of 98% of the city? they'll probably finish the operation once Zelensky stops pouring men into the artillery killbox.
anyone heard of PATRIOTs being used at all in the conflict since this? -

also it's funny to me that the west in general feels like it can 'train' the AFU on how to fight a peer or superior enemy when all they've been doing is beating up on the third world for the last 70 years or so -

from wishful thinking:Ukraine’s counteroffensive is succeeding. Slowly but surely, the Ukrainian armed forces are breaking through the Russian lines. Sometimes yard by yard, sometimes village by village, Ukraine has the momentum and is pressing forward.
…
We have a chance to help finish this. The Russian army is cracking. Ukraine has learnt new tactics to overcome horrendous minefields, and the Storm Shadow strikes are devastating Russian HQs. We are witnessing the beginnings of the battle for Crimea.
…
This war can be won. Vladimir Putin is failing. Just as the human emotion drives Ukraine to success, it is also the inescapable flaw in Putin and his criminal regime. Romance, ego and revenge drove Putin to cross into Ukraine and it will be his undoing. His army has lost more than 2,500 tanks, 6,500 armoured vehicles and nearly 300,000 dead or injured. Not a single commander who led the major Russian units into Ukraine is still in place.
toUkraine can also play its part. The average age of the soldiers at the front is over 40. I understand President Zelensky’s desire to preserve the young for the future, but the fact is that Russia is mobilising the whole country by stealth. Putin knows a pause will hand him time to build a new army. So just as Britain did in 1939 and 1941, perhaps it is time to reassess the scale of Ukraine’s mobilisation.
they're already mobilising everyone from 16-60 (and skewing to 40+ implies extreme losses in the combat units which typically take on younger men) and have even banned women with any kind of medical training from leaving the country, but the machine needs even younger kids to keep crawling along.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2023-10-02 at 4:07 AM UTCBro how have you not started a YouTube channel about this shit? You’d be like a redpilled Real Life Lore.
It’d get demonetized instantly but you could just plug your Patreon every episode.
Get that bag -

It has become a numbers game and Ukraine just doesn't have the numbers. I suspect EU support to start crumbling and who knows what will happen in the US during the election cycle. Ukraine best start putting out feelers to end this war because US support can turn a 180.
Americans have short attention spans, the war was highly talked about for about 2 weeks but now I never hear anyone talking about it. Biden will probably catch a lot of shit when people start hearing how much money has been wasted for a country Americans don't give a fuck about. -

The US could end this war in a week lol. Ukraine doesn’t need to look for ways to end the war, they’ve known how to do it this whole time. It would involve some changing of their border, and a pledge to never join NATO, but they can do it and still retain autonomy.
Us giving them weapons and supporting them has absolutely NOTHING to do with public sentiment. Even if Americans were 100% against it we’d still be doing it and there’d still be shills in the media explaining why it’s necessary and how it’s actually popular. -
2023-10-02 at 1:22 PM UTCWe’re not “wasting” any money. It’s doing exactly what it’s intended to do. When you read that we’ve sent Ukraine hundreds of billions of dollars what that actually means is we’ve bought weapons and equipment and sent it over there. Who actually gets that money? Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman… in other words we take taxpayer dollars and give it to US military contractors, which is ALWAYS the point - taking public money and putting it in private hands.
There might be some geopolitical positioning going on in the decision-making process, like we’re indirectly draining Russia’s military resources or whatever. But make no mistake that’s just a side effect not the goal. -
