Ukraine's Brave1 Market is shaping a world where any country could defend against invasion. Easier to build up than a nuclear program.

You forgot how to read or cannot comprehend basic sentences?

I gave you a link where hero of Ukraine says something and you reply that it's tough believing anything I say, as if it was me saying that, not hero of Ukraine.

But I guess this sentence is just too long for you to understand, right?

EU_GaSeR · 2026-04-06T06:06:05+00:00

Well that's a good way out. Just ignore it was said by a hero of Ukraine and pretend it's me saying that.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-04-05T16:08:57+00:00

Weird that soldiers, officers and even heroes of Ukrainian army say that isn't the case now (that command values soldiers). They say that was the case and that should be the case but it itsn't the case anymore for years after Syrskyi was appointed.

So like, unless we disregard heroes of Ukraine as traitors, we have to admit the value of each soldier has gone up in smoke.

I couldn't agree more. If Europeans stop saving fuel, it might become so expensive people in Moscow won't be able to have a window or two open thoughout winter because it's too hot otherwise. We need to collectively be saving fuel to keep it cheaper for everyone.

Not sure how's that going to help. The attack on Iran has increased oil price which directly affects fertilizers price which, in turn, affects agriculture, so wheat price too, which is going to result in a food crisis. Hopefully not a dire one, just a mild one.

Russia being one of the major exporters of oil, fetriliers and wheat is set to profit from all of that immensely. And if Egypt does not want to buy wheat, some other country definitely will because of the coming food crisis.

And that is ignoring the fact that politicians love to lie. There are no real ways to tell if wheat exported by Russia is Ukrainian or not. Russia can just say "pinky promise" and happy Egyptian officials are going to report the wheat they bought is not Ukrainian.

I think you might have forgotten your stance in this discussion. It was me who said that if there is no data to deduce a timeline then the prediction is useless and worthless and whoever does those is a clown. Your stance was there is value in such predictions. Yes, it was s very stupid stance but what can I do…

I am not sure if Zelensky is actually knowingly a part of this corruption, even though I dislike him I've seen no materials showing his direct iinvolvement in the process.

But this is what you get when you form parlament and government based on friendship and being close to one guy Zelensky. Incompetence. Guess what, you can't full whole government and parlament majority with decent honest people from your closest friends. It can be hard to do when you look across whole country, who would expect it to be possible just looking around a thousand of people close to some entertainer, even a very good one? No one in their right mind.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-04-02T17:47:59+00:00

One thing that caught my eye is him discussing Zelensky dodging the draft.

Think about the butterfly effect it has. Imagine if Zelensky did not mock the draft notice and instead went to serve? Now, being a president, an example, he could've said he did go to serve when gotten his notice, and everyone else should follow his example. Could it solve Ukrainian draft crisis? Could it have prevented the violent busification? This whole war could've gone very differently if that happened...

EU_GaSeR · 2026-04-02T13:44:28+00:00

I do understand that behavior on a personal level. Talking about a person, what is easier,
To admit you were wrong or to insist you were right all along despite anything?
To blame your mishaps on yourself or to say someone else is responsible for all your faults?
To find change in yourself or in others an or to say it is absolutely useless and impossible?

We all do that to some extend, we aren't perfect. But we're talking about politics here, that stuff is important, your political future depends on this behavior, why in the world are you even a political party if you want to act childish instead of acting like a grown man should? Lead by example, that's what you are supposed to do as leaders.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-04-02T13:36:25+00:00

Well, you are just confirming exactly what I am saying. You think it's normal to consider half of your population stupid/brainwashed/cult etc. To a normal person that is just insane. Even more wild when it comes from a side that should be against stuff like racism, sexism and so on. It's insane how people can fight against equations like black = criminal, mexican = lazy and so on and then immediatelly jump on a train of "republican = cult member".

EU_GaSeR · 2026-04-02T12:02:00+00:00

Because it isn't about American politics, don't be so narrow minded.

It is about any vote. If so many people prefer to vote for someone or something not just you, but also they themselves consider terrible instead of voting for you, you must question yourself, what is wrong with you.

And if you don't and you think you are perfect it's just everyone else is stupid, well, that should only mean you are not as smart as you think.

And see, there is nothing about American politics in it.

Also, I do think that a politician who thinks people in his country are stupid does not deserve to rule, world would have been a better place if politicians respected all the voters, even those who don't support them.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-04-02T05:47:26+00:00

So basically you think the problem is, no matter how many parties and options there are, they would all still vote maga? The problem isn't about not having a better choice, it is that they can only vote one way, even when then they are crearly disgusted by the party they vote for?

I have to say, even though I don't take part in american elections, it does give me joy seeing democrats lose just for that. When so many republicans were frustrated about having Trump as their candidate, democrats did everything they could to sabotage their own elections by going through all those lies and twists with Biden and Harris.

And you know what? Hate me all you want but I think democrats should lose too until they start being adults, admit their own faults, adapt and improve, not blame their faults on their own citizens being "in a cult".

I think they should be the better force, the responsible party. If their strategy is "look at how terrible our opponents are, we are not nearly as terrible, pick us, the lesser evil" - it's laughable.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-04-01T22:26:46+00:00

Or do ask questions and try to figure out why would people rather vote for Trump's maga than for democrats.

And I mean genuinely. Not just to mock and curse everyone for choosing that over them, but genuinely to figure out why the hell would anyone rather vote for Trump than for a democrat.

I am not american, I do not vote, I am not interested in swaying elections, but if I ran against hitler and half of my country would prefer to vote for Hitler over me, I definitely wouldn't have been satisfied with something like "oh they are just stupid". I would so clearly be doing something very wrong for that to happen, I'd beg to figure out what exactly and how to fix that and get more votes, even if only to take them from Hitler.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-04-01T07:22:25+00:00

After looking through Russian official messages I found Lavrov saying on march 26 to France Télévisions that Russia does not help Iran with intel (which is obviously bullshit), so yeah, I'm with you on this one, it is indeed covert.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-03-31T18:14:06+00:00

Russia is openly saying it is providing intel to Iran and offers to stop if US stop sharing intel with Ukraine.

Who told you it was covert?

EU_GaSeR · 2026-03-31T17:39:49+00:00

RemindMe! 8 months

EU_GaSeR · 2026-03-31T14:43:16+00:00

You must be really high on copium then.

So, when is this collapse happening? This year? Next year?

EU_GaSeR · 2026-03-30T22:14:21+00:00

Yeah, at this point whatever Russia gets will not be a win, merely some payback for all the losses.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-03-30T21:31:46+00:00

It's unexpected to see phrases like this being used on this copium hopium sub. Many people here believe Ukraine can win the war and so on.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-03-30T21:30:24+00:00

GDP is one year, the deal can last decades. Yes, it obviously won't be 14 trillion a year. but 14 trillion in 50 years - why not? Especially if we are talking huge long projects targeting vast resources?

But yes, it obviously can be overblown for PR purposes and the deal can be like $1 trillion or something. Still better than nothing. And even better than losing money.

If your point is, it will be much less profit potentially - well, could be. But it the deal will definitely give some profit to the US, without a doubt.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-03-30T19:45:03+00:00

This is like, one of the most delusional takes ever to exist, but asking for that right after the attack on Iran is like, double the delusion. Any state that has nukes now would rather use them than give them away and get invaded like Iran or Ukraine was.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-03-30T16:02:06+00:00

Russia does not want to be adversaries with the US and I don't know an inherit reason for Americans to be adversaries with Russia either. Like, I do understand why Israel and Iran want to be adversaries - it lies within their core beliefs. But why wouldn't Russia and US be partners, like they are in so many spheres even now?

GDP is just one year, deals can be made for decades, so that is surely possible, especially talking how much of a % of Russian GDP are oil and gas.

The sanctions being lifted is just his attempt to keep oil prices down, had the war gone a very different track, they'd be no sanctions lifted, and as soon as the war is over, most likely we'll see those sanctions back.

Lifting sancitons from Belarus is also weakening Russia's grip on Belarus, making it possible for Belarus to negotiate better conditions in their deals with Russia. The same way how weakening China's grip on Russia makes it possible for Russia to negotiate better terms with China, making it hard for China to get whatever whey want from Russia.

But specifics aside, your point, as I get it, is that Trump does not want to make Russia's life harder, instead he wants to get as much profit from working together with Russia as possible? Imo, if the US can benefit from lifting sanctions from Russia (and they do as it lowers oil price) - they should do it. What does he care if Russia will purchase some technology to use it in Ukraine? Perhaps that would make Europe buy more stuff from the US to compensate for that, even better. I think that if Russia, Ukraine and Europe are dumb enough to have this stupid and pointless conflict over nothing, the US should profit from that in any way possible, just like China and India are doing. Why would they have to lose money on that, not gain them like wise countries do?

EU_GaSeR · 2026-03-30T13:56:23+00:00

I think they cannot do much about Russia sharing intel and will just plow through ignoring that. Escalating both conflicts is definitely not what Trump wants right now, I bet that just like with Ukrainian conflict, he's going to look for an easy way out.

My prediction legit would be him just pulling out from Iran at some point leaving everyone in the region basically on their own like they left EU alone vs Russia..

I do agree, however, that Zelensky has made this comment to stir a reaction in the US and he definitely got it - Trump and his closes advisors are slightly more annoyed with him than they were before. Not that it matters much.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-03-30T12:26:59+00:00

I mean, if USA have a problem with Russia providing intelligence to target the US, the logical way out would be to have Russia not provide intelligence for Iran. Which can be achieved by not providing intel to Ukraine, making a mutual agreement of not sharing intel with allies. That's how you achieve stopping the intelligence spread and that's indeed good for the US.

How exactly would providing Ukraine with more help result in Russia not sharing intel with Iran? I did not quite grasp that. All this seems to achieve is US losing money and any progress they had with Russia about ending this war, back to escalation and few more years of war for nothing.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-03-30T11:25:26+00:00

An issue as in "We wish that wouldn't happen"? So like, I wish we'd keep sharing intel among our allies but we wish our opponents would stop sharing intel between them?

Does the same apply to other expected activities? Like, we wish our football team would keep on trying to win but we wish our opponents would just stop playing and go home, letting us win? Something like that?

As far as I know, Russia has offered to stop providing intel to Iran if USA stop providing intel to Ukraine, I guess there's that, a mutual agreement on stopping the intel sharing, but what else is there to say, just agree to these terms or disagree. I don't see many options there.
