That child totally had it coming. Nobody should be able to be out at dusk except cars.
I'm aware but my understanding is that it fulfills the religious obligation to wear a sword.

I find it amusing the Canadian armed forces designed a whole new knife that is more similar to a traditional Sikh knife when I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter from a religious standpoint. I wonder if any Sikhs have tried to use a standardized sword.

It seems kinda cool and a Sikh cop would for sure wear a kirpan

"A kirpan is a mandatory Sikh article of faith. It is carried by
Amritdhari (initiated) Sikhs at all times. The word “kirpan” comes
from two Punjabi words: ‘Kirpa’ means an act of kindness, a favor;
and ‘Aan’ means honor and self- respect"

Kirpans are kind of like Gurkha Khukris. Changing the shape/design is pretty pointless.

you used to be able to get fancy soviet surplus winter coats and uniform pieces for cheap but then etsy banned all russian and belarusian accounts. the surviving ukranian ones are three times as expensive and you cant track them because the postal system is all hosed up

the russian guy i got some boots from gave me a tiny picture of his cat and 10 kopecs to apologize for a three day delay in actually sending it out and i think my current ukranian coat in-transit is going to come with a severed human finger or something after disappearing in kiev for a month

what color was the cat

NATO refusing to cough up like 80B/year across the entire alliance for ukraine is ridiculous lol. Thats not a lot of money to "Save Europe" or w.e considering that this is the war the alliance was designed to fight

nato was designed to fight communism. this is just the ukrainian bourgeoisie selling ukraine to Capital.

2B/m damages caused by $10000 suicide drones. Sounds like a good deal.

Also business must be booming for whatever country making electrical distribution equipments.

I am so ready to find out that Ukraine still uses some special Soviet grid for which replacement parts are only produced in Russia and which Russia continues to sell to Ukraine, somehow.

yeah the looting of Ukraine is a primary aim of the west, it's the one thing libs won't accept or even comprehend. So whatever finances are agreed upon have to revolve around the fact that Ukraine must be trimmed to the bone and turned into a looted neoliberal hell. Or as Boris Johnson put it, Europe's Dubai.

No but it had a public sector.

it had a lower GDP and a lower GDP per capita than loving Belarus. If Ukraine ever joined the EU (never gonna happen) it would be a blackhole in the European economy. insane that all those eurocrats are championing this corrupt loser nation

Does anybody have a problem of US sending 20B to Ukraine every year? i don't. US spending imperial resources to the blake holes in Afghanistan and Ukraine is good for the rest of the world.

Privatizing the remaining of the Ukraine public sector is not going to make a dime of difference. It's about as meaningful as privatizing Pakistan's state owned sectors.

Obviously the rebuilding is not going to happen, the whole world knows it.

I'd like to know this too, seems like nothing but propaganda videos of blocks in ruin on one side and freshly built apartments on the other

guessing based on the sheer amount of damage parts are still in very bad shape, but there is some effort being put in
