I have done both, albeit without a formal background, does that count? I have writing samples on hand

Hello based department?

I’m impressed that there are smart and insightful individuals working through both Christmas and New Year holidays to deliver up to date information and analysis about the war in Ukraine. Thank you guys

And then it got worse, as our national motto goes

Unfortunately starlink is legitimately super useful and the sole choice in certain use cases, avoiding it is only possible in some situations

Cave to the reality that he can’t end the war in the ridiculously short timeline he sloganeered about. Or forget about this region of the world because his Diet Coke button broke.

In effect, trump is a Putin puppet, despite it likely not being literally true (though a case can be made)

They did, but this kind of slogan is retarded. It is on us to lay out the argument in favor and only then ask it be proven wrong, else we are correct

As a Russian speaker (albeit not versed in Russian accents) that doesn’t sound Russian to me, but apparently it is an an accent in the south
December 27, 2024 at 7:12 PM
Legit never heard of that. Thanks for the explainer

Yes and the speech in the call is Ukrainian. Unless I’m taking crazy pills, which is not impossible. Hence my confusion
December 27, 2024 at 11:36 AM
Yes, but I doubt many Russian officers speak Ukrainian on duty
December 27, 2024 at 11:33 AM
Getting and spreading political opinions through memes should be socially shamed. Politics and policy are necessarily complex and nuanced, while memes necessarily have to be simple, it’s ridiculous to spread opinions that are upstream of policy through this.

And they speak Ukrainian? Or did GUR machine translate the call into Ukrainian? Like… why?

Baaaased, let’s persecute people based on geographic circumstances of their birth, after they experienced (or we’re liable to experience) persecution from Russian authorities already

Give me the ballpark for profit margin in defense production and the market cap for the industry (or the combination of the big 4, or any of the big 4)
December 26, 2024 at 9:38 PM
Peculiar. I don’t understand how that can be the case, given that your talking points are boilerplate NAFO. Which aren’t particularly deep. It’s okay for them to be, since NAFO brings regular westerners together to do the right thing, that is help Ukraine. And fight Russian propaganda.

And the imperialists, the Zniks are obviously hostile to everything criticizing the idea of Russia, this mythical do-no-wrong god ordained superpower
December 26, 2024 at 9:55 AM
Remember, we are talking about how this slots into the mental state of the Russian audiences. The liberals (of whom there are 20ish percent btw) may agree for bad reasons, while the normies are coping with isolation by doing the bad breakup special of “I didn’t love you anyway, I didn’t need you”
December 26, 2024 at 9:53 AM
The whitest, most American take. Yes, both are insults here. Taking so much for granted, having so little understanding of the region and context, my god, it’s the negative stereotype of the arrogant American (whether or not you are an American citizen).

Do us all a favor and learn about Russia
December 26, 2024 at 9:50 AM
Oooooh. I get what you are saying. As a matter of political effectiveness however, this is hurting, not helping. Russian liberals are the people who would be at all receptive to this, they are already anti war and already kinda demoralized. Everyone else will see this as proof of Russophobia
