The sex workers feel like they are part of the war effort and indeed consider themselves a division of sorts - although one that brings joy.

So I got to ask the thread's opinion on this video: Supposedly it was taken around Avdiivka in what looks like March/early April 2023. It is from a very pro-Ukrainian channel, but it feels somewhat off, I would say staged but it doesn't really make sense in the context of what is going on. Does this seem like a professional military operation to people with experience? It looks like one of the better equipped "Western units" but they don't see to have enough NV equipment to go around. Also, the Westerners involved...are a little spooky. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUDeAlnsHGY

can't speak to the professional military aspect but it does seem off key for a "combat medic" or combat lifesaver. and yeah mostly because they're talking about well, firepower and not, you know medical topics of any kind. n.b. i was a nationally certified EMT what gives you the "spooked up" vibe exactly? e: a lot of weird cuts in that video too hmmm  e2: yeah okay might see what you mean now, none of that poo poo seemed legit. bro at the end lamenting about how people didn't get cars cause he didnt film them (???)

HiroProtagonist posted:can't speak to the professional military aspect but it does seem off key for a "combat medic" or combat lifesaver. In his other videos, he is always doing a bit of "this and that" including running equipment, and some fundraising. It seems like most of his associates are doing the same thing. The odd part is they are supposed to be part of "Hospitallers," a medical volunteer group theoretically funded by the Ukrainian government, but it seems like none of them seemed to seriously medically trained from what I have seen. The vibe I got from the video is their job is to be embedded in various units to keep tabs on them and their units. The American woman in the video in particular seemed to be giving directions to soldiers, even though I don't think she has any formal AFU military rank. Also, the unit itself seemed to have been better equipped than NATO trained units that have mostly been holding back (although it seems like they took a few casualties before the video was shot). Also, yeah, Azov got mentioned as well. Admittedly, that is just my take. ------------- Orange Devil posted:Both Russia and China keep trying to drive a wedge between the US and the EU, which makes sense theoretically but also good luck. Granted, look at Asia at the moment, where China's presence is much more strongly felt economically, and it seems there is a lot less desire to directly engaged against China. I would say the US' hold on the EU is directly proportional to its economic presence, which is stronger than the Russians, but may not be against both Russia and China is the long term.

I skipped through it and liked the scene at ~8:15 where he's talking to a random guy with not clearly visible tattoos on his neck, the guy sees the camera and then immediately seems to adjust his hoodie so that the tattoos are less visible. Hmm. Edit: the tattoos are clearly visible later and don't seem to be political ones from the 40s tazjin has issued a correction as of 11:17 on May 29, 2023 |

China doesn't emotionally invest in Europe like Russia/Russian elites do. All they want out of Europe is that they don't take side w US too much when China and US go into thunderdome. Nordstream 2 is a good lesson for the chinese, can't plan business deal with Europe that rely on easily sabotaged components.

There's a war going on with Ukrainian people, and there's two sides: there's Medical Technicians and there's medics. The medics have got to go. Every time Medical Technicians wanna have a good time, ignorant-rear end medics gently caress it up. Can't do poo poo! Can't do poo poo without some ignorant-rear end medics loving it up. Can't do nothing. Can't keep a road to Bakhmut open more than 3 weeks! Grand opening, grand closing!

Denmark is putting another $1bn in the Ukraine Fund, in addition to the $1.3bn already spent, and another $1.5bn is planned for 2024. This in addition to everything funded through the EU. So far more than 93% of the funds have been put toward "lethal aid".

I'm serious. The official reason is that "so that the publication can speak as one collective voice", but you can take a pretty good guess as to the myriad real reasons why they'd want to do that, such as the way we instantly roll our eyes whenever the article comes from Bret Stephens or Max Boot of course, the corollary is that we just end up rolling our eyes whenever it comes from The Economist, period
