Frosted Flake posted:Do you think Australia chose the Croatians, or were they assigned them? was wondering about that! my childhood neighbours was a Yugoslavian Croat family. I remember them being absolutely massive, the teen son would have to stoop to get beneath the house. Endman posted:Down here in Australia’s Deep South we had loads of Polish soldiers settle after WW2, but I think they’re mostly cool and they built a cool Tobruk memorial, rather than anything fashy. I think my friend is the daughter of some of those guys. never investigated what their politics were like but at the start of the Ukraine war, the mother said that she was completely opposed to accepting Ukrainians into Poland because she would never be able to forgive the poo poo they did to them in WW2 so they're probably not gallacian paychos.

sum posted:This was a stat from the Zaluzhny article that not a lot of people brought up. The average age of a Ukrainian soldier is 43. That's older than the Home Guard ("Dad's Army"), and probably within the ballpark for the Volkssturm (although I can't find good statistics for it). Moreover, according to UN population statistics it's even older than the average Ukrainian male aged 18-60 (41.6). It's really hard to find precedents for armies that are this old. I wish for the Ukrainian army to be the most advanced in the world monkey paw curls

Also, that article is making a claim that the Russians, because they can only produce 2 million shells a year, and since they fired 10 million over the last year, they will have to come to the table. Even if you accept 2 million and assume the Russians can’t ramp up any further, the North Koreans alone are handing them 350,000 a month. It seems like 6.2 million shells a year would be enough to keep the war going even according to their stats. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 03:28 on Nov 4, 2023 |

Coz no one ever would increase their production capacity, right? Right???

It’s impossible for one of the world’s largest suppliers of steel, aluminum, fertilizer and wax to make things out of steel, aluminum, fertilizer and wax because we placed sanctions that say they can’t sell them to us. Why would they make more of something if they can’t sell it? If they can’t sell it, it means it’s not profitable. Things are only made if they are profitable so it’s impossible for them to make more.

It is just even in terms of their own propaganda it isn’t tenable. Either way, the Russians have almost certainly more than 2 million a year in shell production, it is too low looking at their active factories. The North Koreans are obviously helping them out by filling in any gap and probably allowing them to either maintain or increase their stockpile but either way this war is just going to keep on going.

"Sanctions" is also a magical spell chanted by the cargo cult fail kid leaders now in charge of Western strategy. How does it actually work? Who knows! But the fancy book and that smart university person back in first year polsci were very confident in it simply working by default. "I cast a sanctions on thee", as I flick my licensed replica Harry Potter wand at the globe in the corner of my office. Satisfied my magical curse is in place and primacy is thus assured I settle back with a local craft bewery IPA.

A good has economic value only if its attributes of utility and scarcity can be exploited by exercising the power of ownership through exclusive use or sale.

There's 50 and 60 year olds running around. Which isn't too crazy. The average US fighter pilot is early 50's and you can serve in the US military until 62. But those dudes aren't randos off the street.

Oh my. Libs are really upset about their "good" war possibly ending with horrific damage done to Ukraine (millions now refugees in other countries, 100,000+ casualties, economy non-existant, 20% of land gone, etc, etc). And they know that some people are pointing out that Ukraine could have gone for negotiations when this whole thing started and avoided a lot of that horrible death and suffering. So they are crafting their defense of their position that Ukrainian death was actually a worthy thing, and they are good for having supported it. In a certain place it's actually being argued that Ukrainians had a choice between war and genocide. And of course, war was the only path.

Things are looking worse for Ukraine, with support waning. NATO dithered and waffled when a lightning fast and very strong response was required to deter Russia from further war waging and mass massacres and war crimes. It was obvious to anyone with half a brain. The kindest possible interpretation would be that NATO overestimated Ukraine and thought that they could win with much less than was actually required. My interpretation is much less kind. I see cowardice and stupidity. I see fecklessness. And now here we are, in an avoidable situation that wasn't avoided. It's heartbreaking.

The problem is, once again, the loving Republicans, holding the entire goddamn government hostage over their right to destroy the entire goddamn government...and Ukraine as well. Helped along by every useful idiot who would ever prevaricate between the parties, both domestically and to this conflict.

Officer Sandvich posted:My interpretation is much less kind. even most liberals with multiple flag emojis were all about a new foreverwar to "give em a bloody nose!" as the narrative, as if it was just a game to some highschool bully trauma they experienced. the reality is lives of the imperial periphery are cheap and dime a dozen. US has no concern for that, it was about trying to prop up a foreverwar to mire down the east and reinforce global faith (amongst western liberals) in nato as an Institution of Good, a shining city on the hill. The west really only has a few objectives: - Restablish faith in the western masses that America Is Good; The Jedi against the evil Sith; the Marvels against the big bad orc thanos; the Griffyndors against the dastardly horde Slitherin. - Keep UA as an resource colony for cheap raw materials to exploit - Try to re-establish shock therapy era over Russia as a big ol' Chevron Gas Station the lives and well-being of the working class masses never entered into the equation anywhere whatsoever Xaris has issued a correction as of 05:32 on Nov 4, 2023 |

Maybe if the Democrats weren't so pathetic and weak they could actually get something done when they control the government. But they never will. They are happy the Republicans are there to foil them (because Democrats want the same exact lovely things the Republicans want).
