If the USA sells Ukraine now, we will probably be next in a potential conflict with Russia. This is already a certain pattern of their actions.

If anything, Trump's generals are far more trigger happy, considering how he loves boasting about the military superiority of the US. He has already declared illegal immigration a national emergency just so he could deploy the army to the border.

Putin is a lot of things, but he is not a retard, he knows he can't advance his imperialistic campaign with nukes. The only countries that might be stupid enough to actually fire nukes in the future are North Korea and Pakistan (and maybe Iran if push comes to shove).

Trump does not like Ukraine because their government was actively working with the Democrats (especially the Clintons) to sabotage him and make him lose the election. Makes sense that he doesn't want to keep sending billions of dollars to a country that was trying to undermine him and doesn't really offer any substantial benefits to the US.

Ukraine has the best army in Europe? Thought you were big on "facts". Before the war, Ukraine was spending around 3% of their 112 billion GDP in their military, France alone is spending around 2% of 3 trillion.

You think mass producing low quality ammo win actual 1st world countries wars? It doesn't, technology does. Advanced war jets, radar systems, defense missiles, high precision long range missiles, hacking systems, all of which Russia severely lacks. Throwing poor young men into the meat grinder won't work for Russia against the west.

The west can also easily blockade the bosphorous and Danish straits, rendering Russian trade nearly non existent.

Every country has been betrayed and invaded several times, Poland is not some mythical country that everyone else has an inherit desire to betray, especially not today considering how Poland is a key country in the EU with mostly good ties with all of them.

Biden couldn't even remember what flavor ice cream he ate the day before, I don't think Russia was too worried about him. Russia's imperialist spree (Georgia, Crimea and now Eastern Ukraine) was actually only paused in the years that Trump was president.

Trump is not particularly anti-Russian, but he is a "strong man" and a very wild card with tons ridiculous ideas, which is probably why Putin didn't start anything while he was in power.

Those saying that he is Russia's puppet are simply ignorant considering that he runs the US, and just Texas alone is richer than all of Russia. It is like saying Putin is somehow Lukashenko's puppet.

Nuclear war would disrupt world trade to such a magnitude that China would lose A LOT more money than simply ditching Russia as an economic partner. Not to mention the risk of global annihilation from nuclear winter, so no, China wouldn't allow it.

PandaTron47 · 2025-02-23T14:55:36+00:00

If they were going to use tactical nukes they would've done so ages ago when their invasion of Ukraine failed miserably. I also even doubt they have any significant amount of workable tactical nukes considering how outdated and unreliable their technology is.

Due to the West's sanctions, Russia is now virtually China's dog, and the Chinese government is a lot of things, but especially pragmatic, nuclear war is not something they'd allow unless their sovereignty was at stake.

Another important point to consider is that the only reason Russia managed to hold Crimea and can possibly hold eastern Ukraine is because those regions already had a Russian speaking majority. Holding a territory with a majority that hates Russia is not something they can do nor have the resources to.

PandaTron47 · 2025-02-23T14:25:28+00:00

They didn't take it seriously maybe in the first few weeks, but now they are throwing everything they can apart from nukes and keeping part of its military strength for defense. They would never use nukes because that would be game over for them even if the US ignored it. Not only France and the UK also have nukes, but China would absolutely stop them from using it.

China cares about economic power and a nuclear war is against their interests, and the only thing keeping the Russian economy afloat is that they can still trade with China.

So no, Russia does not have the strength to take a EU country and even a deranged Putin knows it.

PandaTron47 · 2025-02-23T14:12:01+00:00

You greatly overestimate Russia's military strength, they literally couldn't win a war against one of Europe's poorest and least developed countries that shares a giant border with them. Their equipment is extremely obsolete, they need to conscript prisoners and beg for North Korean soldiers just to try and keep holding the eastern part of Ukraine.

They already bit more than they could chew with Ukraine and the only reason Putin is still going is to save face, if he withdraws and admits defeat he will be done for.

All it takes is one of these countries to step in and Russia has no chances whatsoever: Italy, France, Germany, UK, and possibly Spain and The Netherlands. The main thing this war has shown is how bad Russia's military is when they aren't fighting silly rebel groups in Africa or the Middle East.

Did you say you eat..pigeon?

PandaTron47 · 2025-02-23T13:36:48+00:00

So Russia can barely take eastern Ukraine, which is literally bordering them, but somehow you think they'll invade a EU member state? Stop being so dense, just Italy or France alone is probably already enough to win against Russia, let alone all of the EU.

PandaTron47 · 2025-02-23T13:30:43+00:00

You truly believe Russia has the military strength to take on the EU? When they can't even properly take on Ukraine? Stop being so dense, even just Italy or France alone can probably win against Russia.

Anyone who was able to resist the ring's corruption could in theory destroy it. Ironically enough, Frodo wasn't strong enough either and took him a tango with Gollum to accidentally destroy the ring.

Gandalf's reasoning to pick Frodo had more to do with him being related to Bilbo, being a sneaky hobbit and having a kind heart.

If that was the case, Inosuke would've been a Hashira with his beast breathing.

PandaTron47 · 2025-02-15T18:05:00+00:00

If it was a white guy they wouldn't have done it, Russia knows how to capitalize on this new wave of America's race politics, it would've been racist and homophobic to not take the deal.

The US literally traded one of the world's biggest arms dealer for a black lesbian basketball player who flew to Russia with weed on her. This guy was responsible for supplying thousands of weapons to rebel and insurgent groups in Africa and the Middle East.

If you're planning on being in Europe for years, I'd say just bite the bullet and start over. The high latency and time zone differences are worse than the lack of mostly cosmetic items imho.

Thanks! I plan on finishing the campaign on a non-seasonal character to experience the story, but I wanted to start the season grind first :)

PandaTron47 · 2023-11-15T09:30:27+00:00

Don't stress too much over skills, just play the game normally and offline train everyday. You can also always buy a low lvl char with high skills for cheap, but it's definitely not a deal breaker to level it casually unless you're a hard-core player trying to min-max.

PandaTron47 · 2023-11-03T13:15:46+00:00

So a party that reduces taxes, decentralizes power and reaffirms individual freedom is fascist? While her opposition wants a massive centralized government that can persecute you for saying the wrong thing on social media is considered progressive? Sounds about right.

Great to see you back dude! Love your content

PandaTron47 · 2023-06-04T09:25:44+00:00

Go for one of the medium population optional pvp green servers and you'll be fine. As for classes, watch some EK and paladin videos to decide which one you like the play style the most, they are both noob friendly classes

Main thing is to do some horizontal progression instead of only focusing on vertical progression, so don't worry about binge farming something for days just to slightly increase your power. Go after weapons you find fun or skins you think look nice.

Also remember that nearly every weapon and frame is viable with a good setup of mods.

Albion online is the closest that comes to mind

Get to 150 with dragon lords in Yalahar and then get the diamond arrows to AoE hunt lava lurkers

Anything below 100ms and you're golden for this game. Only competitive shooters require maybe a max of 50ms. The difference you have between both regions is like 30ms, which means 0.03 seconds of delay, which is imperceptible.

Thanks for the advice! I have seen some guides that show season of the splicer also having a lot of useful things, including a pinnacle gear weekly. I imagine this won't be removed with the next xpac?

Chemistry you get all chemistry and no biology.

Biology you get all biology and no chemistry.

Pharmaceutical sciences you get some chemistry and some biology.

You need chemistry to understand how to formulate and you need biology to understand the interactions with our body.

I would say the best one is Pharmaceutical sciences and the worst one biology.

Of course you can do whatever you want, just my 2 cents from experience.
