Is that a lobster boat? Jel Shaker posted:sorry for the long post but it’s the first article i’ve seen in the mainstream british press which is vaguely on this planet It's a good article. Thanks for posting it. I'm pretty curious what is the sentiment in other countries to the Ukrainian war. I'm not surprised that American and British newspapers are pushing the line the US government wants. I find a very different reaction speaking to people in person. Anyone I know in finance or government 100% believed this is a proxy war by the US over material reasons, like US being a gas exporter and needing a new war to replace Afghanistan.

What is the peace that the US would accept for Ukraine? I remember Russia proposing early on basically Donbas + "no NATO" and even Zelenskyy speaking about peace months ago that Russia could accept, but I can't remember ever reading anything about any sort of peace deal from the US. Has there been any peace deal proposed with US support? If so, what? I know the real answer is the US isn't interested in peace because this war is incredibly profitable for gas exporters, and MIC needs to replace Afghanistan with something. I can't imagine a US backed peace deal that doesn't start Cold War 2 and another Cuban Missile Crisis. Yeowch!!!

Frosted Flake posted:Just learned about another exercise of Supremacy vs Superiority, with surprising results Dudes rock quote:As the exercise continued, the 20th increasingly took on the role of the Soviet pilots. The maintenance crews hung a red tablecloth on a pole and mounted it to the back of their truck, and then added red scarves made of cut up rags. Aircrew took up this bit of flair, which has remained part of the uniform of the 20th to this day. A red star was added as a mission patch.

loving lol at the way to measure contribution as % of a countries military budget. 5% of the US military budget is greater than all those countries combined. Apparently 22% of Bulgaria's military budget is a lot of rifles and bullets. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/bulgaria-send-its-first-military-aid-ukraine-2022-12-09/ quote:The list of arms is classified, but government officials have said Sofia would mainly send light weaponry and ammunition.

genericnick posted:Yeah, and what are the euros gonna do? Sure the dumb war will massively degrade European industry, but that just means Franz von und zu Hintertupfing now is even more dependent on the US navy protecting his oversea investments. Germany will defend itself from this act of war and call upon NATO members to join the attack against Ukraine.

Slim Jim Pickens posted:The Russians are integrating human wave tactics into their missiles strikes lmao Looking up the cost of the Iranian drones Russia bought bugged my eyes out. They are absurdly cheap compared to anything in NATO and can carry some missiles. $20k a pop? That's nothing. It's the sort of military engineering US MIC is incapable of producing because their isn't enough grift. Shooting it down with a Javelin missile costs over $200k. And then somehow Ukraine lost a fighter jet to one of these drones.

What is wrong with this demon cracker country? Russia, China, now Mexico and anyone with Lithium. Where is the US not starting poo poo? Antarctica? Also I decided to take a gander at German electricity prices. I remember they went nuts during the start of the Ukraine war, like quadruple price for a few months. Prices are evack to normal levels. Germany introduced price caps and spent billions subsidizing electric bills by taxing green energy's unreasonable profits during high electric prices. loving lol this country is never going green.

Frosted Flake posted:I mean it does drive me a little crazy that we have policy papers saying explicitly that on the next go round the Georgian Army will hide in cities and dare Russia to flatten them and kill the civilian population, but how do we turn that into an English-language sign in street protests? It doesn't matter what counter protest you stage if US aligned media is pushing the narrative of a colour revolution; they will push the US message. You need some other way to project your message. Why do you think China made TikTok?

Frosted Flake posted:Moreover, we saw Boris Johnson personally intervene, Ukraine kill their own top negotiator, God knows what else. God drat how did I miss this happening? CyprianLatewood posted:It feels so bizarre to see the end of totalized American global hegemony and the return of true multipolarity that I'm having a hard time internalizing it. All this over the eastern region of some backwater where the US decided to try to put some dipshit nazis in charge. It all adds up perfectly well and it's not like it's surprising in retrospect that neoliberalism led to a state apparatus incapable of thinking long-term materialistically but still. Trump will win his campaign for re-election against a desiccated Biden. The Trump administration will once again fail to secure a Chick-fil-A franchise, allowing Xi Ping to swoop in with a Dicos deal and kicking off US balkanization.

Vernii posted:So basically it gets leaked or stolen by Russian intelligence, they get the valuable info from it, modify parts of it, then release it onto TG as a "leak" for public and media to focus on the easily digestible parts (casualty counts) as a way to upset the narrative. Basically a pretty smart dual-purpose opsec breach and psyop. We've already seen in this thread the losses count image with flipped numbers for Ukraine and Russia, so both sides are already doing this psyop.
