I agree that the state of the digging that we saw during the summer wasn't good, but there was also considerably less time to dig in between February and June than there will be between now and next June. NATO supplies to Ukraine at the time weren't exactly "unlimited," either; supplies and equipment were slow to arrive for quite a while. So far I've heard a lot of talk about reserves being depleted after the Kharkiv offensive, but I haven't seen much in the way of conclusive evidence that that is the case. So far it strikes me as wishful thinking.

Literally every source we post itt is propaganda.

I was thinking about a good way to explain what happened in terms readily comparable to the English-speaking world and I think I have one.

Canada has an Irish culture totally at odds, as in diametrically opposed, to how it's understood in Ireland and the rest of the English-speaking world. The reason is that Canada all-but banned immigration of Irish Catholics but went out of the way to encourage the immigration of Irish Protestants so that uniquely the vast majority of Irish in (English) Canada are Proddies. This is opposed to the demographics of the two Irelands, past and present, but also contrasts with Australia, who received mostly transported Irish Catholics and the US, which received mostly Irish Catholics fleeing the Great Famine. Even during the Great Famine, when there was a great deal of traffic to Montreal, what Irish Catholics that landed here went to the States as soon as they were able, or stayed in Montreal if they were too poor or sick to travel to the US.

So, what it means to be "Irish" in Canada (the Belfast of the North) is very different than what it means anywhere else, just like what it means to be "Ukrainian" in Canada is very different than what it meant in the majority of Ukraine. We have an Irish culture created by Ulstermen in the image of Ulster, similarly we have allowed Galicians to create a picture of Ukraine in the image of Galicia. Canadian Irish were militant supporters of the Orange Order, the Political activities of the Ukrainian diaspora here are well known. Iirc Canadian support for the UDR/RUC and Crown was much higher than it ever was for the IRA and I only ever heard the IRA referred to as terrorists, in the media and by everyone I knew, growing up in the 90's and 2000's. In the same way that being Irish means to fight for King and Country, the Ukrainian "national struggle" as understood here, means to have fought against the USSR, rather than having been part of it.

Most, and by that it's got to be 90% these days, of Canadians are oblivious to this, because how would they know? We have Irish bars, just like Australia and the US, and how would you know which names are Scots Gaelic instead of Irish or that the Red Hand of Ulster is not the kind of ticky tacky Irish pub decoration found in Ireland? It's totally normal for the Union Jack to be generic pub decoration in Irish pubs and nobody would really think about that or even notice. As far as anyone here is concerned, that's just what Irish culture is, it's uncontroversial. "Irish" dress here is as often as not Lowland Scot, most places have "Scottish and Irish" Stores (so, Scots-Irish), but who is going to know if people wear trews in Ireland? You just go there to get plum pudding to bring to Christmas or to look for a tartan scarf or cable knit sweater, or an outfit for a wedding, and there's not much to it.

Same thing with Ukraine. People see flower crowns and "national costume" and hear the "national story" and that's it. Ukrainian culture is pretty common in Canada, I grew up knowing pierogis as varenyky, and understanding all Ukrainians are Catholic, and that's all there was to it.

So, you know, these things happen. People aren't going to interrogate these assumptions and it lets a lot of stuff go by under the radar.

if Nehru is so great how come he doesnt have a comically sized statue the way some random dude who didnt do much of anything but hindutvas worship him did? not so great now is he?!

Funniest thing is patel died so fast that BJP shills can eternally pretend that he was going to be a based right wing leader, same with JC Bose's INA. Yeah dude, the Indian mutineers in 1946 were running around with his photo and lenins. They were all going to make you into an epik free market capitalist nation that stretched from afghanistan to thailand.

Also the statue is low energy. (and made in china)

india is still very much run by the neoliberal class, which started with the debt spending of the 80s which led to insolvency and allowed the IMF to come in and liberalize the economy. that brought in the anglosohere style thinking which is still the dominant form of economic thought in india today, especially at the RBI.

congress and BJP are both complicit in this as they privatized their protected sectors and weakened labor laws to the point where there are none. no politician is going to fix this. this is a paradox though because Indias foreign policy going back to Nehru has been suspicious of the US ever since we put sanctions on them after the atomic tests and Pakistan was used by British/American interests to fuel instability

my point in bringing up Nehru is that the mixed economy he sought to bring about was a no-man�s land as the communist system didn�t work with with non communist monetary systems and the US was not interested in having india develop itself independently, which barred it from post war development funds. for the first time, there is tremendous activity and energy being put forth to what Keynes originally thought should be set up post ww2, which was a coalition of nations willing to lend to each other instead of a single nation dictating terms.

The 1991 reforms that make every middle class unkill nut in his pants were slowing down by 93 and would only pick up with the vajpayee government winning their war. One of the biggest cribbings the press had while growing up was the government NOT selling productive state assets like oil and gas or SAIL.
