I assume the palace intrique in Ukraine is basically game of thrones but with everyone eating cocaine for breakfast, lunch and dinner while also shooting up with comically large hypodermics full of steroids.

The endpoint of liberal idealism, thinking that posting can replace reality.

Neoliberalism basically requires a completely separate fake reality to be manufactured and presented in place of the actual real world in order to work at all. Otherwise the systematic pillaging of the state apparatus might bother people.

All of the people saying Ukraine should decide whether or not it wants to use cluster munitions on its land assume Ukraine is a homogenous country, and that the people who pulled a coup to depose the democratically elected president favored by the eastern half of the country aren't absolutely giddy at the idea of forever salting the fields of their rivals.

Talked with my family in Russia. Overall they have little to no effect from sanctions, quality of life continues to improve, though there was a wave of people losing jobs as the various companies pulled out of the country. Many live in the southern part of Moscow so the latest Ukrainian drones fell into their neighborhoods, people died in the upper floors where they hit, though not anyone I know thankfully. Probably were intended to make it downtown, but they only made it to the outskirts.

i'll have u know that having to kidnap people off the streets to man the front lines is just a sign of complete unity, and therefore ukraine can do some war crimes if they want to, as a treat

the thing with 2-3% dud rates is that those tests iirc are mostly carried out on, like, parking lots and things. it's 2-3% under absolutely ideal circumstances. in practice it is almost certainly several times higher. the implicit admission that this is because the West can't supply enough conventional artillery shells to keep ukraine in the fight just makes it all be worse news all around
