Jokers Gamble posted:I think I read somewhere that the Ruble is less valuable than Robux, an in-game currency for the game Roblox. Isn't that a meaningless comparison? One unit of my currency is less valuable than one tf2 crate key, but more valuable than one unit of japanese yen.

Jokers Gamble posted:That's on an individual level, so one ruble is currently lower in value than one Robux. A real world currency is worth less than funbux kids use to buy poo poo in a game. Imagine if the dollar was worth less than a token from Chuck E. Cheese. Yes but the size of the base unit is arbitrary. A dollar is worth less than the funbux kids use to buy poo poo in TF2, that doesn't mean anything for the US economy.

SMEGMA_MAIL posted:Wasn’t it rumored earlier that a lot of conscripts were “highly encouraged” to sign contracts during the lead up? That would explain a lot. Yes, but now that russian MOD has "discovered" that several conscripts didn't, I wondered if anyone knew if russian conscription law allowed for service abroad. (I'm assuming it doesn't, and that's why they did the "highly encouraging" stuff)

Hyrax Attack! posted:If he stops being all talk and threatens to leave the GOP unless they expel openly white supremacist or qanon members of Congress from the party, or if he makes reasonable requests for Biden's legislation to be revised in exchange for his support, then I'll take him seriously. Until then he's just a palette swapped McConnell. "We are really the only significant experiment in democracy and preserving liberal democracy is an extraordinary challenge” ok why don't you get yourself arrested protesting voter disenfranchisement at the Texas capitol, or endorse national voting by mail or making election day a holiday? I don't think threatening to leave helps his agenda in any way. It's not like he's irreplaceable, or that his enemies would be sad to see him go.

psydude posted:Based upon some of the articles I'm seeing, the Territorial Defense Forces are taking fairly heavy losses (vs. the UKA), which makes sense given most of them are little more than a militia that received a couple of weeks of training and some surplus equipment. Herstory Begins Now posted:yeah they're lightly trained militia with minimal weaponry going up against armored vehicle columns. No doubt they're probably quite useful in concert with regular forces, but on their own that's a pretty bleak prospect and it makes me really appreciate that I'm thousands of miles away safe and warm. Aren't they former conscripts that have been through the same training that everyone else though? That's sort of the point of conscript armies.

ThisIsJohnWayne posted:No that's not what the ukr territorials are. They are everything from in practice untrained volounteers to reservists no longer fit for regular army service, ie to old etc. I see, here everyone is assigned to the home guard after service, I was assuming TDF was somewhat similar. psydude posted:Just because someone's a veteran doesn't mean you can throw them into combat with a week's notice. My broken rear end would probably last about 5 minutes before I threw my back out thanks to a prior service injury. And most of my day to day military knowledge has also been replaced by more useful things, like how to reverse sear a perfect filet, or the best way to make brussels sprouts. Ofc, but there'd also be cohorts 1 year out, etc. ASAPI posted:The militia in Ukraine theoretically had training however many years ago. They were given like a 24 hour refresher, a Javelin, a rifle, ammo, and sent on their way to help farmers steal tanks. These are average joes slinging anti tank rockets, I'm surprised there are more casualties. Pretty sure TDF received ~0 Javelins, from what we've seen.
