Dumping ~BTC200 in fees on a test? Sounds totally plausible

You literally posted about Ukraine's military making claims on Russian losses and gave it credibility when it's never going to be a real assessment. I provided claims by Russian commander on Ukrainian losses. You doubted it saying It is just ridiculous that you even try to pass that information as credible or remotely accurate. and attempted to justify that logic by asking Can you picture any situation in which Putin would go and say that Ruzzian losses are actually 5 to 1 Ukrainian? i countered that and pointed out your double standards just by mirroring your question and asked if you could picture any situation in which UA forces (Zelenskyy) would go and say that Ukrainian losses are actually higher than Russian.

What exactly you cannot follow in that?

You realize how ridiculous you sound by constantly posting outlandish claims, but when presented with claims from the other side you just start yelling that it's opinion but not facts? It's especially hilarious when you talk about "opinions" only in the same day to post stuff like "It has been mentioned that ATACAMS have been approved to be used up to 200 miles (roughly 300 km) across the whole front.".



Edited for clarity.

Are you now saying that Zelenskyy doesn't represent UA military or he's not in control of his defense forces? Or are you saying you can picture situation in which UA military (sans Zelenskyy) would go and say that Ukrainian losses are actually higher than Russian? You got to pick one here

Can you picture any situation in which Zelenskyy would go and say that Ukrainian losses are actually 3 to 1 Russian? It is just ridiculous that you even try to pass that information as credible or remotely accurate. 

Initial source "published by Ukraine's military" https://x.com/DefenceU/status/1797857800309411907 so propaganda wrapped into newsweek.com wrapper to provide more legitimacy? But since we're citing direct side of the conflict on losses, to get a full-er picture would it not be beneficial to cite both sides?


Those numbers would be catastrophic even before we consider Russia's 3:1 advantage in population. History will not judge Zelenskyy kindly if real numbers are anything close to this, once revealed. Lowering age of mobilized Ukrainian conscripts only provides hints of the horrifying dynamics

Hmm deja vu, oh right, you mean just like those previous deliveries of Leopards and Abrams that they were pushing for? How did that turn out? But guess at this point anything just to keep morale from a total collapse, so this could be dragged out for a bit longer.

Dismissing all sources from reputable news agencies as false opinions only to post about your own visions   do tell what else do you see in your dreams, so we can completely switch to just shitposts.

Funny how you briefly mentioned R37 It is designed to shoot down tankers, AWACS and other C4ISTAR aircraft[1] while keeping the launch platform out of range of any fighters that might be protecting the target. According to Janes there are two variants, the R-37 and the R-37M; the latter conceived as having a jettisonable rocket booster that increases the range to "300–400 km" (160–220 nm). and make sure to totally ignore the range of S-400 with some missiles going to 400km and don't think about what already happened to most of UA air force planes, and try to evade the fact that Russia can hit any target in UA while planes need active runways to land at. Other than that, your dreams of few old planes being yet another game-changing weapons system which this time will surely tip the balance, makes a good morale booster for unsophisticated reader.

Admittedly the date range is chosen to display maximum inflows, we had outflow prior to May 13th. Also, we don't know what's happening to the rest of the market, are Gox/FTX etc... dumping? Someone could also be dumping real corn for these ETF coupons for different reasons (if they don't want/can't self custody, or they want to take out margin loan against their corn etc...). But the beauty of limited supply is that we know it can't go on forever, so with everyday these ETFs suck up more BTC than were mined, the higher the probability of the price adjusting up. tl;dr just wait

Including Friday that's 14 consecutive days of inflows. Not just net inflows but net flows that absorb 5x the emission!
Emission since May 13 (14*450=BTC6.300), US ETF net inflows BTC~32k

Air defence is one of the highest priority targets in all conflicts and all sides, you're just stating an obvious thing. But it's a change in paradigm, US is trying to redefine what it means to be a party to a conflict, we're setting the precedent that country X can buy soldiers in country Y (by paying their salaries, retirement, healthcare etc...) and then send them their weapons, so soldiers paid by country X can attack country Z with X's weapons without X being a part of the conflict? Another terrible precedent being set onto the world.

"independent country" which is not allowed to join military alliance or place weapons on it's own land. You're attempting to use whattaboutism to justify double standards For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law. First set precedent then claim whataboutism. Pretty much removing all laws and standards upholding global stability, total mystery why there are so many wars around the world, must be all Putin  


Finally! Now if you start thinking of this as one superpower trying to expand it's sphere of influence (through financial means onto another aka financial expansionism), let's think of possible outcomes. Either they're successful and Russia collapses (and after it China) or things go back to status quo of 2013, or as stakes continue to rise "west" might collapse. There's just no free lunch in this world.


Shaheds were and still are intercepted by the expensive missiles. It's obviously preferential to use other less expansive means but expensive missiles are still used as a last line of defense against the few drones that are not defeated by other cheaper means and are going for high value targets.


"At the end of April, the factory was ahead of its production schedule, having already supplied 4,500 of the promised Shaheds, according to the Institute for Science and International Security, a Washington, D.C.-based defense-focused think tank."
I'm assuming Russia would claim a much higher number. your denial seems to cloud your reading comprehension  


I just love when you make up numbers without any citations.


It's indeed interesting choice of words by Financial Times. Could either shows intent or the reality and the gravity of the current situation. Next article by Bloomberg should hint at which one it is.


15% of all 60,000 workers. How many of all of the workers were women, men under 25 over 60, and otherwise ineligible for conscription? Then we can guesstimate what percentage of able-bodied men have already been sent to the front lines and how many still left.

Looks like they're starting to bring in people from Turkey to fill in the population gap, just like in Germany

Right, only people on the border with Russia/China should be considered as being able to have a free will, but everyone should ignore those Cubans which totally should not have a right to self-determination   we all believe that right   Hypocrisy at it's best? all people are equal but some people are more equal than others & For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law

Just so people realize the scale of the issue in case anyone here still thinks that this is just local Ukraine vs. Russia conflict

That's only one new factory


Now people will act surprised to learn what is easier to build, thousands of drones and sea/land/air cruise missiles as well as ballistics and supersonic missiles, or enough missiles that are able to intercept all those different kinds of missiles and drones.

Meh to be fair most of it are transfers from GBTC. Net for all ETFs is what's important

Nah that is clearly not about natural resources, Russia already had easy access to the Black Sea, and has plethora of electrical power generation. Plus Ukraine was aligned with Russia prior to cookies arriving.

UN is the best thing we could come up with. If we destroy that, we're back to the strongest doing whatever he wants, and with China set to bypass US is that really what you want? Also, I'll gladly listen to your alternatives to UN

Because we've already been through this, the precedent was set and continues to be up kept. It doesn't matter how much Cuba wants to be in military alliance with Russia, or how much beneficial Russia/China can make it for Cuban population, they can make Cuba the most prosperous place on earth, but non of this matters because US just won't allow it. And it's for the better, you don't want super powers buying their way closer to another super power's border, it's called spheres of influence and that's what kept our species from removing ourselves off this planet. But now one power decided to break that delicate balance, and change the status quo by bringing cookies, with expected results from other powers.

Nah, almost but not yet, too soon. They need to wait for the railway to be completed over the land bridge first, which will make the Kerch Bridge redundant. It's already in the final stages with the train already been spotted on some track That way you might finally get some pictures to post here and gloat about, but once again it'll be too late to make a difference, just as usual. You get to gloat claiming yet another miracle balance shifting attack, while in reality Ukraine will continue to loose more people and land, it'll be a win-win, you should know the process by now.

I don't take you for anything, I'm just saying that viewing this conflict in isolation, as if this conflict is about a land grab (because Russia needs more land  ) while admittedly is very beneficial for propaganda, couldn't be more erroneous. Expanding military alliances that attacks other countries without UN approval, to your competitors borders while proclaiming to want peace, and then acting dumbfound why other countries view it as existential threat is really just trying to take the rest of the world for idiots. If you remember USSR so well, you should realize striking similarities between this and the pinnacle of the previous nuclear conflict where the roles were reversed. US viewing USSR expanding to a country close to it's borders as an existential threat, and prevented it, disregarding all international laws and that third country's rights to self-govern. History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes.

The root cause seems to be the brainwashed thinking that status quo should be changed and NATO should spread to Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Taiwan etc... for those countries to be "liberated" and be "protected", should sound very familiar to you. Georgia's government seems to have made a decision regarding use of their people in a proxy war.

Unfortunately with politicians when they corner themselves into a position their only choice becomes to keep doubling down until replaced, as we're observing in Israel.

According to my maths IBIT now has more corn than GBTC, 288k vs 287k. Appears that GBTC has removed "The world's largest Bitcoin ETF" claim from their site too.

Edit: see that it's been already covered

All wars are tragedies for people. As far as power grid, world allowed NATO to set the unfortunate precedent on this, thus i believe it'd be appropriate to use NATO justification with slight adjustment for current events


But how does this changes the balance exactly? Pretty sure an attack on the early warning system is one of the justifications to launching a nuclear strike first. Thinking that you can take out Russian nuclear early warning system (with attempted justification to launch few ATACMS at ex Ukrainian controlled territory) is not just gambling with your own population but gambling with the whole world. If some 3rd state (that Russia sends weapons to) took out US's nuclear early warning system, I'm sure we'd all be glowing green now, Russia so far has been showing great constraint in all of this. Ukraine is attempting to force this war on to the rest of the world which should not be allowed to happen.

That's a big problem, you should always consider direct and indirect consequences of your actions. Geopolitics it a lot more nuanced than cartoonish good/bad guys. Expecting Russia to behave differently with Ukraine than US did with Cuba, is the definition of hypocrisy and double standards, so both must be either bad or good. I consider buying into, either NATO spreads to Ukraine or Russia is bad, ultimatum as being brainwashed. Guess that's exactly the reason why in this case no one wants you to exercise your critical thinking skills and look at this conflict holistically, just concentrate on this specific action in a complete void  

Seriously paxmao, you're now happy about attacks on ballistic missile early warning system?  Are things already that bad that you're cheering for a global nuclear annihilation?

Everyone understood that you were Eastern European without you explicitly saying it  
That logic is flawed on the surface, but are you seriously not even thinking through to the second step? Even if we don't care about Ukrainian lives/statehood, don't you think that policy of punishing Russia by flooding China with cheap resources will backfire and result in far worse consequences? Or we're just so blinded by "Russia=bad" brainwashing that we don't care about anything else?

Ahh so NATO can attack anyone in the world as long as they're in a conflict, without any UN security council approval, and that's what makes them a defense alliance    World police, judge, jury, and the executioner, which majority of the world didn't vote for? While totally ignoring other conflicts like actual war crimes in Gaza? Why those crazy Russian's wouldn't want that on their borders is a total mystery! When Cuba can't even receive advanced medical equipment without it being somehow considered an existential threat to US   we all believe that right?

It's actually quiet ironic that Ukrainian leaders decided to volunteer their population in order to attempt to push that ideology through, but of course once China showed which side it's on, everyone realized that it's destined to fail.
