Imagine if that had been channeled towards nonfiction…. you could have a three year head start on geology, botany, literary theory… Hashtag make nerds nerdy again

i read a bunch of star wars books as a kid but i don't really remember much of them. han's kid drove a ship into a star, thrawn had anti-force monkeys that had their fingernails grown into trees (?), luke piped down leia in an x-wing. they certainly never had the new republic resolve any of the issues that lead to the empire taking over

I did music theory in my late 20's and right bout when I got good at sound engineering and doing bass/key parts on midi my back gave out and I can barely play my guitar now. Timing is a b#@$% I spent more time unlearning bad habits, bad dogma, and horseshit ideology in my early 30's than progressing forward.

Officer Sandvich posted:https://www.ft.com/content/cc322202-97da-40e6-bdd2-ae1c89deea10 EU ministers fail to pledge Patriot systems to Ukraine at key meeting European ministers said on Monday they were looking urgently at how to provide more air defence to Ukraine but they stopped short of concrete pledges of the Patriot systems that Kyiv values most, Retuers reports. Officials say it is hard for countries to part with Patriots as they are an integral part of national defences. Ukrainian officials have countered that the risk of EU countries coming under air attack is extremely low, while Ukraine faces such attacks frequently. Spanish foreign minister Jose Manuel Albares said: “We are well aware of Ukraine’s need for air defence, and especially Patriots and Spain has always done whatever it could.” He added: “Since it is a real war, I’m not really a friend of the idea of disclosing too much about what we give, when and from where.”

Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch (/ˈskrɪpɪk/ SCRIP-ik;[1] born 1954) is a Ukrainian-Canadian children's writer who currently lives in Brantford, Ontario.quote:She received a B.A. in English and a Master of Library Science from the University of Western Ontario, and began writing fiction in 1992. Her first book, Silver Threads, was published in 1996.[2] quote:I’ve written books on a variety of themes and set within many historical eras, always concentrating on young people plunged in a time of war and persecution. Because Ukraine’s history has been subjected to much disinformation and distortion by both Russia and the former Soviet Union, I’ve written a lot of Ukrainian-themed historically accurate books. If you want to understand the Russian war against Ukraine, inform yourself about the treatment of Ukrainians by both Stalin and Hitler. Putin is channeling them both. quote:Traitors Among Us quote:Making Bombs for Hitler I do also want to note that that Winterkill book about the Holodomor was published about two weeks before Russia's invasion, so she's been publishing all this stuff about Ukraine even before the balloon went up.

Anyone ever find more than the guide to "US WWII Foreign Military Studies, 1945-1954", the only thing I found was basically a couple jpgs of some manuscripts with about 70% broken. It seems it would be a good time to go through all the stories that Germans made up versus modern scholarship and who is keeping narratives going.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but much of the actual equipment from the new aid package is the long range weapons systems and air defense, right? If so, it lays out what the strategy is in 2024 - hold the lines however you can while making periodic strikes on Russian territory and the Black Sea Fleet You could generously interpret this strategy as "we are holding the line while we build up manpower and equipment - we can take the offensive in 2025 when we're ready" More realistic, it's "hold on for dear life and deal just enough damage to Russian infrastructure and military assets that NATO still thinks this is a worthwhile investment" Rather than victory, Zelensky's government now seems focused on just keeping the money train going as long as possible. It's the only way to stay in power. VoicesCanBe has issued a correction as of 15:23 on Apr 22, 2024 |
