And now, the winter missile campaign - same tactics, same results (e.g. convincing the US to send a few more Patriots.)


32 patriot missiles could not stop single Russian missile

I will take your word for that, sure, but you see, the problem is that other people less informed than you, such as the Pentagon, may think that they actually have been quite successful in defending the key areas. What a strange thing Branko, how can they be so wrong and you be so right when they have all that fancy stuff gathering information for them?

Unfortunately Branko, it is that less informed than you people who will make that decision - but it is ok, because "Patriot does not work" right?

But the good thing is that they Air defence forces of Ukraine now have a great ally! The Ruzzian Air defence forces!

Russia shot down one of its own Su-35 fighter jets in a recent friendly-fire incident, UK intelligence suggested.



If I would be wrong, they would not quietly stop sending more patriot systems

Problem with Israel is that they can win 1000 wars, but lose only 1
143  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Can Israeli - Palestinian conflict worsen the crisis? on: October 10, 2023, 06:57:39 AM

I guess the only ones who win are arm dealers. Palestine can never work as a country, what the UN has on paper is a bad joke designed to never ever work. In practice, it is the rule of Israel, but Israel is doing something strange, they didn't finish conquering the place and kept those sort of open prison / ghettos to shoot at like fish in a barrel every so often.


Its not strange, as if they would take all the land, they should give everyone Israeli citizenship. They want them cleansed from that area
before they take land


This is also clear from the videos where we see the Palestinian resistance launching their rockets. The locations are always an open space, jungle, desert, etc. You never see any buildings anywhere close.
However when Israel uses the US donated bombers, they are always bombing civilian buildings and schools like the UN school they bombed murdering dozens of children and hospitals like the International Eye Hospital in Gaza 2 days ago.


Not true, for pure logistical reasons...Gaza is so small and overpopulated that anywhere you shoot from, its "civilian area", there's very few open spaces and surely not any "jungle"

At roughly 140 square miles, the Gaza Strip is just over twice the size of Washington, D.C., but has triple the population.

"Israel targeted attacks on civilian infrastructure with the clear aim to cut off men, women, children from water, electricity, and heating with the winter coming, these are acts of pure terror and we have to call it as such,"  EU's von der Leyen said.

Sure, you just get $70M (which is likely to be a gross understatement) but you are not a proxy.



And if some country provide you with 120 BILLION, using your logic, what are you to them?

Using my logic, you are an ally - Ukraine did not attack Ruzzia, however the point stays: you have said Hamas is not a proxy for Iran, but it clearly seems to be.

The Ukrainian conflict is much more straightforward than the Israeli - Palestinian conflict, which is something that has not been resolved in... 70 years now?. The growth model of the current Ruzzia is grabbing natural resources - they have nothing else to offer to the world (well, also overhyped arms that rarely deliver to their claims) - they will permanently be involved in anyplace where they can "grab".







70 years is nothing...Ukrainian conflict is going on for 1000+ years

Some of the latest news coverage. Is there anyone left who still doesn't see where all of this is going?

...

And now Israel will be competing for resources, funds, intel satellite time etc... Politicians will act surprised and will be convincing people that no one could've possibly predicted such outcome, blame games will ensure, and everything will be done to prevent Ukrainians from even questioning any of this

My appraisal of where is this going is that Iran has done a favour to Ukraine. If there were some GOP members playing with the idea of reducing the support to Ukraine, they may be quite convinced now that "playing soft" gets their Israeli brothers killed (Hamas is an Iran proxy). Israel is unlikely to need much "resources" other than their usual sources - the Jewish community of US, UK,...

No, Hezbollah is Iran proxy, not Hamas.
Iran is Shiite, Hezbollah is Shiite, Hamas is Sunni...without Israel in picture, they actually hate each other

Btw, good read, it seems truth is coming out in the West too:

Yes, we know

1 - Yes, in fact there are many who openly critizice the government, even in Youtube.
2 - No, adult Ruzzian are not free to oppose Putin, that is my point, they should and that is why Ukraine should not be under the Moscow regime.
3 - No, Snowden is not free to speak because he signed off not to do so. He is a spy, so not free to divulge any information (criminal or not) he got access in that capacity.

Many in Norther Ireland would disagree and many other would not. Scotland had their referendum and many overseas territories opted for independence without any fuzz.

1. Yes, you can do it on youtube. This is what happens when you do:

https://www.osce.org/files/f/documents/e/7/233896.pdf

Yana, victim’s wife on SBU officials:
They have beaten him to death simply. When they came — they took him away to torture him. When they brought his body back — the heels were blue, the feet were blue.
 He’s got some traces of punctures on his hands... I don’t know... what they did to him, punctured him or drove the needles under his nails — there were holes on his hands.
Each bone has a hole in it. They tortured him like... when there was a real war no one has tortured people the way they tortured him.

I guess its like Idi Amin said:

“There is freedom of speech, but I cannot guarantee freedom after speech.”

It is like treating adults as either babies or slaves. Grow up, take your own responsibility and make your own mistakes! Is freedom so scary or all this is just to justify Putin?



Is adult Ukrainian free to oppose Zelensky, or adult Russian free to oppose Putin, or adult Snowden free
to expose his country crimes?

I thought so


On the home nations in UK ... belonging to UK is pretty much voluntary - as it should be everywhere.


Many in North Ireland would disagree
153  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine[In Progress] on: October 03, 2023, 08:32:07 AM
Branko, they want to try something else. They do not want Moscow and a group of kleptocrats ruling them by dictate... you know, bad experiences in the past with other leaders (Ruzzian or not) and the like. Little matters whatever map you show, people in Ukraine no longer accept being the serf / expendable meat / ready to be starved livestock of Moscovians.

It is not them Branko, it is you, they found a new friend and seem to be ok with hanging out for a while and perhaps marry later.


Nation is not biological but sociological construct..."people" rarely know what they want, its usually other factors
that push us in some direction, otherwise we would have much more countries, like Wales, Scotland, England, Ireland
and maybe even few more just on that single island

Pre-war Russia had double per capita GDP than Ukraine...millions of Ukrainians went to work to Russia to make ends meet, not other way around
IMF, Americans and corruption devastated Ukraine even before war

Im sure it had nothing to do with the famine that Stalin intentionally caused, killing 3+ million Ukrainians by seizing all the grain in response to middle class of Ukrainians calling for independence from Russiain.  This was before the war where Russia and the Nazis made a secret deal to not get in each others way to each take half of Ukraine (Stalins story was that it was to stop the genocide of ethnic Ukrainian's lol).

Yes, I'm pretty sure, too

Also, Stalin was not Russian

Thats not the meaning behind my words...the meaning was "GET THE HELL OUT OF UKRAINE AND SOLVE YOUR POVERTY PROBLEMS, LET RUSSIANS
GET INDOOR PLUMBING INSTEAD BEEN FORCED TO GO TO WAR"

That's a new one... Ukrainians forced Russians to not have indoor plumbing? Does that qualify as biological warfare?

The same way USA was forced to threaten to nuke Cuba?
If I would be Putin, I'd again try to put nukes on Cuba, just
to show western hypocrisy

If Ukraine were to continue down the progressive road leading west and it became more like the Western countries that Oligarchs spend most of their time  (and money) and Russians went for vacation back when they were allowed...that would be bad news for Russia.

Eventually Russians would start to wonder "why can't we be like that?" and realize the answer was Putin.

That's about 10 million less than people who would starve to death in USA if not for food stamps

Love the answer.

In the 21st century we still shit into a hole in the ground when it's negative temperature outside, but you guys also have a problem with poor people!
Let's not try to deny nor fix the problem because someone in another part of the world has some problems too!

-Hey, dude, you still live in your mother's basement and watch porn all day at the age of 30!
-Yes, but people in Zimbabwe live in mud huts and run barefoot, so I'm not in the worst possible situation here.

Is Russian military plans are as well thought prepared as your arguments, you guys are done.

159  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Chia Coin Mining become unprofitable - the coin has fallen in price by 3 times on: September 30, 2023, 05:11:57 PM

I am seeing that many miners are starting to become interested in mining the CIA coin. This coin can be mined at home in silence. Miners do not want to sell the coin at the market price, so they are still accumulating coins. This coin has the potential to grow.


Since price is constantly falling since introduction, who is selling then? Are you suspecting creators
are dumping premine on us?
NO. The premine is in the wallets of the developers

One thing you CAN follow perfectly, are the coins itself. Each coin created has a parent. You can follow parents ultimately until "Genesis", the start of the whole blockchain. When a coin is "spent" it will be destroyed and split into children with new values transferred to the new destination (which also can be your own wallet. Think of "change" when you deal with cash.). You can perfectly trace on blockchain which coins are spent and which are not. The exact premine amount is divided into 4 coins which stay there unspent since May 4th 2021 (really? Exactly 10th anniversary of Star Wars Day? 👍)
https://rudolfachter.github.io/blockchain-stuff/public/chia/chia_prefarm/

Therefore, only miners and traders can sell coins.

That was my point...miners ARE selling at curent price

Well, your link says Ukraine 143 square MILES, Russia 331

If you have trouble calculating, try this link

https://www.google.com/search?q=square+miles+to+km

From the start of the year. This presumably includes the "capture" of Bakhmut, the last significant Russian advance. Since the start of the Ukrainian counteroffensive in mid-2023 the gains have been mostly one way.

Loading...

So let's try again:

According to New York Times (famous for its pro-Russia stance) since Ukraine counteroffensive started, Russia took 860 square kilometers, and
Ukraine took 370 square kilometers.

Not true, is it?


If you want to split hairs, when battle of Bakhmut ended, and when counteroffensive started?
