After the 2014 invasion prompted economic sanctions on Russia, Russia retaliated by banning food imports from Europe, famously including cheese from The Netherlands and other places. Russian cheese is awful so they then started to produce their own "Gouda" and other European styles to replace imports. The results were predictable. Here's a Vice piece about it: https://youtu.be/Eq1-XRfUb7o e: I was mistaken about which country sanctioned what, and corrected my post. spankmeister fucked around with this message at 07:35 on Apr 1, 2023 |

Ynglaur posted:They literally 0osted the code to Github. Code repositories store old versions forever. The only thing they could do would be to remove access, but I'm sure lots of people created forks (copies) of the original. Github can and has rescinded access to forks based on the original repo being closed or banned or something like that. But plenty of people cloned it probably.

I have a bunch of thoughts on that new platform in the context of what we're learning in the War in Ukraine. I just need to find time to write it (and, honestly, I'm unsure if regulars itt would even be interested.) Fwiw I would be interested.

Vlad is an academic and intellectual, as far as I can determine he seems to have good insight into the Russian psyche. His video's have been very insightful and enlightening. Imo he suffers a tiny bit from some arrogance and talking down to his audience a touch but it's barely worth mentioning really. His insights into Russian politics and Russian public opinion and what drives it have been peerless on youtube, imo.

Failed Imagineer posted:I used to think the NSA was worth poo poo, but this Discord stuff hase doubting Well, NSA isn't the only game in town, by far. The US "Intelligence Community" is comprised of a massive number of different organizations and personnel. There are 18 or so "main" agencies and numerous smaller military, counter-terrorism, homeland security, etc. agencies. And the recent leak suggests that the US disseminates highly classified and very sensitive intelligence reports very broadly. Hard to keep a tight ship if there's 2 million eyeballs on your top secret reports. (It's hard to say how many people with TS clearance also actually have access to those kinds of reports, but it would seem to be many.)

Paladinus posted:Based on reports about civilian casualties, and very little fanfare from Russia from recent attacks, it does seem like the numbers are at least very close to real. What is maybe used for propaganda by Ukraine is when a downed missile hits residential area, and it's not clear if it was going to hit it anyway or was targeting a supposed military facility. But then I'm not sure even Ukraine would be able to confirm it either way reliably, while Russia obviously claim they only attack military targets. Did you miss the part where Russia hit a residential building, killing 20+ people including small children, and the Russian MoD posted the following image on their social media? https://twitter.com/den_kazansky/status/1651864900220723200 The translation is "Right on target". It happened last Friday. Russia isn't even pretending to only target military targets anymore.

So Zelensky was in Finland today. He flew there with a Dutch government plane, which seemed a bit strange at the time but it's now been confirmed that he's on his way to The Netherlands and will meet the prime minister tomorrow, and possibly make a speech in The Hague. It's notable because tomorrow The Netherlands has it's remembrance day, where victims of the second world war and all the wars afterwards are commemorated. So it has a symbolic meaning. I don't know if Zelensky will speak at the event itself (which is always in Amsterdam instead of The Hague), but nevertheless it's a big deal for the Dutch.

https://twitter.com/christogrozev/status/1654962737494016001 Grozev with a thread on a Q&A with Prigozhin stating that Wagner is done and pulling out, citing artificial shell hunger as a reason. Notably if you read the (pretty long) Q&A there's lots of details in there but one of them is Prihgozhin saying that the goal of the Bakhmut operation was not to take Bakhmut but Akshually to grind down Ukrainian troops by taking advantageous defensive positions and inflicting maximum casualties on Ukrainian forces. To which I say lol, lmao e: the q&a: https://telegra-ph.translate.goog/Otvety-Evgeniya-Prigozhina-na-glavnye-voprosy-kotorye-est-u-obshchestva-05-06?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en spankmeister fucked around with this message at 23:15 on May 6, 2023 |

Henrik Zetterberg posted:So assuming the single Patriot battery shot down one of these missiles, what happens if they shoot 5? Can a Patriot intercept them all? Does Russia just have to send a larger volley of them, assuming they have the stocks? Or as wet_goods suggested, maybe shooting them all off from different directions to avoid head-on interception? What Russia has been doing is launching a volley of slower cruise missiles alongside with the khinzal(s) to distract air defense, so that they're more likely to get through. It had been working so far.

Willo567 posted:I'm not saying it's bad or the end of the world, I get why he does it. It's just that his administration has done it before with regards to Russia about to run out of missiles, or them kicking Russia out of Crimea soon where it's clear that it won't happen within a few months where in reality it will probably take longer. I logged into discord to get the latest intel and the assessment is that russia is too busy blowing up hospitals, so our balls are safe for now.
