Не коментую події хоч і військовий і вам не рекомендую.
Покровськ- закономірно,тільки сліпий і дурний цього не розумів ще під час Авдосу.Курськ- це явно не про загарбання теріторіі.Про втрати-вони є і будуть, це не ком.гра. А от пиздіти з твітора не пішовши допомагати це хуйня.

укотре і вкотре дивуюся людям, які не можуть зрозуміти, чому вони чують, що Маріуполь здав особисто Зеленський, хоча самі при цьому раніше розповідали, що Іловайськ організував особисто Порошенко?

Плоди власної брехні важко відчувати на собі, то ясно. Але подив? Серйозно? Тьху.

I'm not going to say "Reagan didn't do shit," but he certainly wasn't the main driving factor of the Fall and the prevalence of this false belief among Eastern Europeans is disturbing because it speaks to a critical lack of self-confidence in our ability to be historical actors ourselves.

One of the best things about Plokhy's the Last Empire is that he calmly simply disparages and systematically dismantles the idea that the US brought down the ostblok instead of the actual victims of the Soviet empire. It is important to beat both tankies and neocons over the head with this.

the position of the US on the concept of Ukrainian independence between 1985 and 1992 was "no thank you!"
what people memory holed that by 1985 basically the entire western hemisphere made peace that the status quo between the west and the east is permanent because Mikhail Sergeevich is someone they can "do business with"

to a degree that they were actively opposing dismantling of the Soviet Empire

Pop quiz: which US president called Kyiv the "mother of Russian cities"

Yes that's right it was Richard Nixon
and prior to 1985 it was "who are you? oh you fight the COMMIES that's great we'll chat later"

Brits simply struggle to understand that they have uniquely idiotic libel law, where you can't say almost anything about a sufficiently rich person without being brutally suppressed with cease and desist warrants.

I think some folk legitimately Don't Get this important cultural distinction. You can say it arises from those of us in Eastern Europe being brainwashed nationalists, you can say it arises from us having polities that were much more hard-won and consciously defined, but the distinction exists.
this is the whole thing i once did on twitter where i ran polls asking different groups of people to say yes or no on whether they find "[name of your country] should be destroyed" a threatening sentiment and westerners invariably answered "no," and our kind invariably answered "yes."

Now that's, um, a yikes. Fairly confident the Taiwanese will act to put a stop to this though
Exclusive: Since January 2023, I Machine Technology has imported over $20 million of sophisticated equipment called CNC machine tools made in Taiwan, a U.S. strategic partner, according to trade records and Russian tax documents obtained by The Washington Post.
Precision equipment for Russian arms makers came from U.S.-allied Taiwan
The Moscow-based firm importing the equipment, I Machine Technology, also sought to supply a secretive Kremlin effort to mass-produce attack drones, a Post examination found.
