Grand Theft Autobot posted:But Winnie the Pooh is lovable and brimming with folk wisdom? He's a confident leader who doesn't demand anything, but receives the unwavering loyalty of the people. Are they saying that they love Grandpa Xi, because he is like Winnie the Pooh? Yeah its never been an own that allows for a greater than surface level reading, winnie the pooh has a round face and he's yellow, chairman xi has a round face and you can fill in that blank yourself. Actually comparing a chinese politican to a ubiquitously beloved childrens character doesn't make any sense except on the most surface possible reading of the statement. It's a racist reddit meme.

i am now 1000% convinced that the US will kill zelensky and replace him with a sakashvili level Bozo who will provoke Russia into an invasion so they can have an excuse to sanction nord stream 2 while Ukraine is quickly defeated and forgotten. America will fight to the last ukranian to have this war lol

Yeah, the US’ hand in Europe is looking real weak at the moment and the current strategy isn’t working. There has been multiple delays to Nordstream but with the pipeline completed, eventually it will probably be certified.

genericnick posted:That's not that bad, is it? Something like 400km? Looking up our best line for about 250km: I live in the United States and all this is making me extremely jealous I've often given consideration to taking a train somewhere one day just for the experience of having done it, but the nearest functioning passenger train station to my city, which has over a million people in its metro area, is over 100 miles away, and sees exactly one arriving train and one departing train per day. Taking a train from here to Chicago is either a 9-hour drive straight there, a 90-minute flight, a 20-hour bus ride, or a ridiculously circuitous train trip that takes you hundreds of miles in the opposite direction and takes almost three days, while also being more expensive than any of the other options, and also requiring you to first drive over an hour in the wrong direction. And that's for coach service, with you sitting in a seat for all the multiple days you'll be spending on that train. If you want a bunk, double the price or more.

I just want to appreciate how much Atlanticists love to scoff at allegations of color revolutions, but the second Zelensky starts contradicting their fantasies they immediately start smashing the coup button.

I had no opinion of Zelenskiy before this but I now think pretty highly of him for standing up to the US and Russia at the same time. If you want to talk about how Ukraine is a sovereign nation and deserves the right to determine its own future independent of great power politics, he seems to be doing a good job making that case to both sides, and if the West decides that he has to go because he's not playing along with their glorious little war then I think that says a lot about how much weight is actually being placed on the the Ukrainian people democratically expressing their will through the form of their elected representatives.

The most likely reason there's not going to be a coup is because the Ukrainian public has a low tolerance for it. Even if Zelensky's popularity has gone down, he was elected with a popular mandate. Ukrainian people are going to resent the fact that the west will still come in at this late stage, and choose their government for them.

Yeah, I don’t think a coup would work in this case, there just really isn’t real support for a more aggressive stance and only the most extreme nationalists would be even that interested I don’t think Right Sector and the Avoz battalion are ready to run the country on their own.

Considering what happened with crimea, I suspect the exact same scenario to occur again where russia just takes another little slice of Ukraine pie and nobody does anything about it. Putin knows the west is too weak and full of false bravado to stand up to him. Slowly taking one oblast at a time to avoid huge badboy points.

Thinking about when trump deployed all those troops to the Mexican border as a publicity stunt for an election and they just hosed around some barb wire and missed thanksgiving with the family. Never knew he was actually preparing an invasion of Mexico the whole time.

one new interpretation seems to be that clearly Zelenskiy sees the threats and understands them, he's just trying not to panic investors, but clearly everyone will see through that and understand he's lying to try and stop them from panicking and that will then panic investors anyway. The idea that he might have better information than them, or might have the same information but have reached a different conclusion about it, isn't being considered as an option.

Frosted Flake posted:The response on reddit is insane. This is Economist data, the columns are country, time period, listed Covid deaths, excess deaths, excess deaths per 100,000   if this data is reasonably close to accurate (and, well, it is the Economist so they may not be), then Russia does have a higher excess death rate than the US but the US probably has higher excess deaths overall since the US figure doesn't include the last two weeks of 2021 but the Russian one does. That Moscow Times headline should probably say "after India and the United States" which would ideally stem some of the triumphalism.

The Russia excess death story is three weeks old now and the people writing it have always avoided mentioning US. https://twitter.com/ArielKarlinsky/status/1477531141510946818 This also ignores the part where US also under reports COVID deaths, but US is only doing it by like 30% compared to Russia.
