Lithuanian Exhibition and Congress Centre Vilnius, Lithuania 5:01 P.M. EEST … PRESIDENT BIDEN: You’ve done an enormous job. You have a lot more to do, I know. And — and I just think that, you know, we’re going to make sure that you get what you need. And I look forward to the day when we’re having the meeting celebrating your official — official membership in NATO. So, thank you for what you’re doing. And the bad news for you is: We’re not going anywhere. (Laughter.) You’re stuck with us. Well, thank you. PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY: Thank you very much, Mr. President. And I will start. You — you said about 500 days. It’s really — really a difficult job for our people — soldiers and civilians, mothers, fathers, and children — really, to fight for — for their life — for their life and for these values. And — and thank you very much that all these days you are with us. I mean, you and Americans, all of America — Americans and Congress. I mean, thank you, Mr. President, that you — like we say, shoulder-to-shoulder with us from those days of full-scale war. We appreciate for this very much. And really — really, you know, we understand you’re leading support, because when you give such messages and when you gave sometimes some weapon — I’m — I’m sorry that I’m — but I want to say to journalists, like I said during our meeting, our council, that it’s very simple, you know, to criticize, for example, clusters ammunition, which you made decision — difficult political decision. But it’s — but you have to know that Russia used such weapon from the first days, not only full-scale war — from those days of occupation of Crimea, from 2014 and ‘15, in all our territories. In Donbas, they used it. And now they continuing doing. And that you gave us — this decision will help us to save us. And that’s why my appreciation for the — and I didn’t hear from all the, you know, parts of the world when — when Russia began to use it — I didn’t hear that some of, you know, countries criticized Russia. You know? But I think that it was very useful to put them. So, thank you so much for this help. We really counted on it — not only on this. I mean this — totally. And you gave us huge support. I want to thank to all Americans. We understand that it’s more than four- — 43 billions for today. It’s big support. And I understand that it’s all your money, but — but you have to know that you spend this money for — for — not — not just for fighting; you spend this money for our lives. And the — I think that we save the — the lives for — for Europe and for all the world. So, thank you very much for this also summit. At — at the — at the end of the summit, we — we had — I think this council had great success and security guarantees, as you said, that we began to speak it — about it in Kyiv. So, now we see that we had — you had great idea, that G7 — and now I know that last (inaudible) that also there are countries which joined to G7 decisions, and I think it will help very much because it — it’s real effect that — it’s very (inaudible) phase. So, thank you. PRESIDENT BIDEN: Well, thank you. And thank you for acknowledging the American people. I think it’s correct that we are a large country, but I think we’ve given more than every other nation combined in terms of assistance and cost. And the American people are supportive — they’re supportive — because they know it’s — it’s about you, but it’s about more than you. It’s about innocent people around the world and the absolute brutality with which Putin is acting and the Russians are moving on. It’s just — it’s just some — like something out of the 14th century the way they’re acting. And so — but — but I can’t emphasize enough. And, by the way, I know you thanked him, but I think we talked about it before. I went to Tokyo years — more — a couple years ago. The idea that Kishida is increasing their defense budget, having to lower their domestic budget, to aid directly and get directly involved in what’s happening in Ukraine is remarkable. The sad, sad news is you’re in this situation. The incredible news is it’s bringing the world together. It’s bringing the world together in a way that — it’s a hell of a price to pay, but it’s bringing the world together. And people are realizing that they just can’t stand by and let this kind of aggression occur. Any rate, I thank you, and we got a lot to talk about. So, somebody is going to have to say, “The press has to leave.” (Laughter.) Q President Zelenskyy, are you satisfied with what you got from NATO? You were so frustrated yesterday. Is this enough? Are you satisfied, sir? PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY: I think, at the end of summit, we — we have great unity from our leaders and security guarantees, that the success for this summit. I think so, but it’s my opinion. Thank you. Q Thank you, sir. Q President Zelenskyy, how soon after the war would you like to be in NATO? How soon after the war would you like to join NATO? PRESIDENT BIDEN: An hour and 20 minutes. You guys ask really insightful questions. 5:10 P.M. EEST

fanfic insert posted:werent the germans in ww1 just opening cans of gas when the weather was right, specifically because the use of artillery to gas was banned in a treaty but which didnt specify you couldnt just open cans and let the wind work? I mean initially, afterwards all bets were off ofcourse No, gas as a weapon didn't exist before the Germans used it at first Ypres. They were aiming at the Canadians but hit the Indians instead.

sullat posted:No, gas as a weapon didn't exist before the Germans used it at first Ypres. They were aiming at the Canadians but hit the Indians instead. I have actually read that there were treaties or arms control style agreements at the time which banned the use of shells which emitted asphyxiating gasses when they exploded. The idea of using chemicals as a weapon was a contemplated thing that the powers of the time were concerned about, the Germans did alot of internal rules lawyering as to how their method of dispersing the gas didn't violate any pledges they had made. Of course later in the war they did just use shells that dispersed gas so that went away after a while.

the IMF and organs of capital don’t have any plans for Ukraine beyond safe, measured Keynesian investments combined with strong labor laws and resilient infrastructure. they will constitute for Ukraine a sovereign wealth fund which will create a luxurious social democracy free of Orcism. the idea that Western Europe and the United States are salivating at the prospect of looting the entire country and forcing it into decades of crushing austerity, thus creating a disposable source of IT professionals and victims for human trafficking enterprises is completely outrageous

Western Europe would never suck the blood of the women, children, and war survivors of Ukraine to facilitate domestic labor discipline and a reentrenchment of the Washington consensus thus ensuring bloated Saxon middle managers will always be able to threaten Polish workers with the possibility of being replaced by Ukrainian ones

lol over the 'kidnapped children' bullshit as well i remember bbc news doing a segment on this where they explained why this was scary and totally a genocide and they were using this one kid as the case study and it explained that she was taken to Russia. Then right at the end they mentioned how here Ukrainian grandma was also in Russia and they met up and she is now with her. Weird loving kidnapping.

The British have negative food security so if you really want to play a Uno reverse card on them you know what to do. I imagine it would be weeks of national survival at most if shipments stopped. I think Germany isn't so vulnerable aside from the whole energy thing. Anyway it's a good way to keep the British in line.
