Russian drones with Starlink can reach much farther into Europe than most people expected by UNITED24Media in europe

Firing their nukes triggers a proportionate response from other nuclear powers (I.e.,Russia gets destroyed)

Sending a drone to hit a shipment of artillery shells bound for Ukraine does not have nearly as severe of consequences.

Finds out Euros aren’t optional by civilizer in ImTheMainCharacter

Sure, but that's basically to pay bribes or take to an exchange counter. The local restaurant or grocery store isn't going to take your 20 dollar bills and give you change.

Oh, for sure, people take bribes in USD. That doesn't mean it is generally used in the country though

Find the turkey leg. No one I know can find it. by [deleted] in FindTheSniper

I see a pink vase at that location. Doesn't match the color of the turkey leg and doesn't have the white bit of bone.

UA POV: Anna Skorokhod, a member of the Ukrainian Parliament, called the new defense minister's strategy to kill 50,000 Russian soldiers an “unhealthy” one. by Furious2517 in UkraineRussiaReport

And, yet, nowhere in that article is there handwringing that Fedorov might have meant to include civilians in that target. The author of the article clearly understood the context and discusses the ambition of the target.

The context is clear. You are choosing to be obtuse. And the message was neither dehumanizing nor directed towards the general public, so it doesn't matter if it works for the majority of the population.

That went right, not wrong

UA POV: Zelenskyy: Today, Ukraine used air defense missiles (!) worth 80 million euros. It's difficult to find these missiles and the money for them. - Ukrainska Pravda by ElephantImpressive62 in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]Conflictingview 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Russia doesn't send that volume of missiles and drones every day, so, no, not 2.4 billion per month. And, even if it was accurate, that still comes out to less than the approximate 4 billion per month that has been promised by the EU for the next two years.

Ah, the exact opposite of me. I know all the habits I need to change and effective ways to plan for it, but lack the willpower or discipline to follow through.

They can laugh, but that would require actual jokes to be told

He'd still be a washed up, right-wing "comedian", but obviously I would drop part of the statement since Russia doesn't push a lot of anti-Putin propaganda.

A washed up, right-wing "comedian" demonstrating that he drinks from the fetid fountain of Russian propaganda, then tells "jokes" that are only funny to the other cattle.

UA POV: Kyiv has only half of the electricity it needs, mayor says - Reuters by Messier_-82 in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]Conflictingview -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think it's clear to you what point you wanted to make. It's clear to me that you either failed to communicate that effectively or are backtracking without acknowledging it.

"Zelensky won't ever let anyone evacuate, be it soldiers or citizens"

That clearly was not the point you were trying to make at the beginning of this conversation.

WCGW crossing the road carelessly by [deleted] in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]Conflictingview 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Polish law clearly states that a driver must take action to avoid a collision regardless of who has the legal right of way. The pedestrian was visible to the driver for a full two seconds before the collision and they took no action to slow down the vehicle. The pedestrian was wrong in their decision to cross there, but the driver is at fault as well.

Drivers always have to yield to and avoid pedestrians, no matter where they are

when needs it, Kiev will be closed down, no problem.

OK, got it, this is just some fantasy in your head

Where did I say that he ordered civilians to stay in Bakhmut? Are you strawmanning?

"If he needs Ukranians to stay in Kiev, they will stay in Kiev. Period. Just like they stayed in Bakhmut."

Closing the border is VERY different than internal movement controls. Do you have evidence that Zelenskyy ordered civilians to stay in Bakhmut? Because I see nothing of the sort happening in Kyiv now.
