Every time I see a video like this I think about the Ukrainians hit by Russian drones in the same way. It’s so f… sad :/ But what can u do, you have to fight.

Yep, but it seems that Ukraines capabilities are also diminishing, especially aa and armored vehicles which are used to counter Russian infiltrations. I don’t see any effort from the West to exploit the Russian weakness. Seems like we are dropping the ball…again

Just listened to Gustav Gressel at Ostausschuss and it seems we are trending into the opposite direction, especially in terms of armored fighting vehicles and AA munitions and even mid term artillery ammo. I thought at least that was solved…That was pretty worrying episode

Autosave?

Because this fantasy is virulent even in the social democratic political spectrum. There is a restaurant at the Regierungsviertel in Berlin - it’s called Paris-Moscow, that’s all you need to know. For a large part of the political elite, everything in between is either a void or potential spoils

Na und, kann man ruhig öfter drüber berichten. So funktionieren Medien. Oder hatten sie den Artikel nicht machen sollen weil da vor 5 Jahren jemand ein YT Video gemacht hat?

Hard to stand up without spines

This should have happened 3 years ago. I don’t know why nobody did this. We’re only reacting, I have the feeling western politicians are unable to think strategically. Or are democracies unable to act strategically? I find it so baffling

The best stories line up with facts. But if they are in conflict a “good” narrative often wins. Facts without a narrative are useless in public discourse.

This so much. Story beats facts unfortunately. We need more people who can tell positive stories about the future. We totally lost this

I hope Rubio doesn’t revoke his passport. Too much sanity for an American

It was all shitposting. His discord posts, the writing on his ammunition... shitposting was his only mode for interacting with the world.

It's very likely that the murder itself had no ideological basis, but was just an act of offline shitposting.

Doesn’t have to be all of Ukraine. If NATO takes over a part, Ukraine can concentrate in the rest. Even a 200 mile zone along nato borders would help. Call it buffer zone. If Russia tests it with Pilots, be like Turkey.

I wish someone had the balls. But muh escalation risk… they could have used it strategically years ago. “Stop bombing cities” or we engage in Ukrainian Air defense. But western politicians are just trash

There are no Russian pilots over Ukraine. All planes stay in Russian airspace to lob their bombs and missles

I don’t see meaningful and effective western troop deployments happening without the US. So it won’t happen. The discussion is a waste of time.
They should start with what actually possible. Close the Ukrainian sky to Russia. You can do that from bases outside Ukraine. Huge help, low risk.

Finally, politics on trial is over :)

+being the institutionalist in a deeply flawed and corrupted system which needs change. Both Doge and Maha as ideas are pretty popular for example.

That is a pretty arbitrary metric to discard this absolute and utter failure of US policy. And by extension the rest of the west who is too dependent on country that has decided to become a circus. Bringing all of those countries together, with NK Kim walking in the first row is such an epic failure
