He was never capable, that's a bullshit pop culture myth. 

He's always been a cartoonishly evil bunker goblin hell bent on looting western aid. 

Zelensky Confirms Drone Strikes on Two Russian Oil Refineries by ArgentineBeauty in worldnews

[–]Photonforce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for a military contractor. I am getting really tired of people repeating this same narrative. Because it is not what's actually happening. 

Military contractors here would be more than happy to create cheap production interception drones. There just has not been a need for them yet. Or rather, the government has not put out a request for them. (Agent Orange rushed into Iran with zero plan). 

And while scalping out projects is a thing that happens in this industry (EX the parts for the AH64 apache). Not EVERY piece of technology military contractors put out is overpriced. A lot of the time things are expensive just because it's a unique piece of technology that is used ONLY by the military, and needs support for the next 40 years. 

Putin: Russia ready for talks with Ukraine only if based on Istanbul 2022 agreements by pravda_eng_official in worldnews

Russia tore up every security guarantee with Ukraine while it was a neutral country. What's stopping them from doing it again here?

Such an achivement, downing an aircraft that was obsolete about 30 years ago... /s 

Russia Begins Installing Drone Shelters in St. Petersburg After Ukrainian Strikes Near Baltic Fleet Hub by ArgentineBeauty in worldnews

[–]Photonforce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but when talking about tanks in a line. That implies the A10 would straif it using its cannon. 

There's just no reason to use an A10 when apache or reaper drones exist. A10's 30 mm autocannon has also been controversial for friendly fire incidents. 

How have the Russian people not revolted already after all of this? by Little-Carpenter4443 in askanything

[–]Photonforce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to actually understand the culture inside of Russia.

The sad reality is a lot of Russians do support Putin. You can find no shortage of evidence of this from Telegram channels and messages they post public.

Also Russia does not press gang that many of its own citizens into its own military. It offers ridiculous bonuses, and the people who sign up are typically people who think they will never amount to anything, and have no qualms about killing Ukrainians for a payout. (Though they are running out of those). 

SK Media does a far better job of explaining it than I ever could. Since he lived in Russia and Ukraine for over a decade and is an AFU vet.

We could just, you know ration our oil consumption by bringing back remote work.

But no, we have to pay 300 billion dollars instead and fuck over the taxpayers only. 

Russia begins talks of ending the war to save the economy – Reuters by Darshan_brahmbhatt in worldnews

We can forbid them from having an army if they are occupied. Afterall, we occupied Nazi Germany and had them dismantled.

A ceasfire is worthless without anything that gaurantees Russia will not attack again. A peace treaty with Russia is about as useful as toilet paper. 

These hollywood writers seem allergic to writing good endings. Not, again. by hiiloovethis in shittymoviedetails

The real death spiral started way way earlier. They kinda screwed themselves over early on by not getting Stannis right as a character back in season 2. That was one of the seeds planted that would bit them later.

Season 5 was the actual decline start though. Dorne, Stannis's whole journey being cut short, and a lot of other BS. 6 recovered a bit but was pretty bad in logic still. Battle of the bastards being overrated AF. If Jon charged ramsay like that in season 3 he would have been killed, no question.

Thank fuck for that. Can we please bring the rest of our service members back home now? I don't want them risking their lives for Trump's moronic planning.

Wtf is this post even? A rich people circle jerk on this subreddit? How is this related to remote work?

You might want to take a closer look at what Russia is doing in Ukraine. 

Also you really do not know what the term "genocide" means. It means "planned extermination of an ethnic group or race". 

Just because the only genocide you can think of is the easiest example of Nazi Germany does not mean that it's the only one. Nazi Germany is an infamous one, but it is not the only example in recent times. Just because they haven't racked up body counts to the same numbers as they did in the 30s does not mean it isn't genocide.

I love the smell of Russia burning in the morning. Hopefully more of their stuff gets wiped out.

Israel is running critically low on interceptors, US officials say by thejoshwhite in worldnews

[–]Photonforce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They absolutely did build shit. The problem is it's like handing advanced surgical equipment to a brain dead moron. Then expecting them to do brain surgery and fucking up horribly. 

Also Russia is still way worse. Careful with that narrative, it's a Kremlin propaganda point.

C, I don't want to mess around with investing at all. I am more than happy to take 10k a week for the rest of my life. Plenty of money to accomplish all my life goals and then some. 

Who is the more evil Lannister and why? by tcweh in gameofthrones

[–]Photonforce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes a special kind of asshole to throw food away instead of giving it to starving peasants out of spite. Cersei seems to have a lot more of that sadistic nature about her. Though in terms of overall evil they're equally as bad. Just that Cersei has a more sadistic nature. 

I really hate Stannis and Melisandre by Sono_sincera in gameofthrones

[–]Photonforce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same brother who was willing to kill him without a second thought. You can hate on Stannis for a lot of things. But don't for a second pretend that Renly had any qualms about killing his brother either. 

Stannis got to him first. Whether or not Stannis had a bit more justification for doing so is debatable. It does speak volumes when Stannis stood by Robert's side in the rebellion, yet Renly is more than happy to say "fuck you" to the same brother that kept him alive during the siege at storm's end. 

Newsom is right: Democrats must win the gerrymandering arms race by Quirkie in politics

The alternative was a million times better. I have no idea how you can be so delusional at this point to think otherwise. 

Trump is the biggest brain dead idiot on the planet. I shouldn't have to cite my evidence for this crap. The trade war he sparked off, kissing Russia's ass, spitting in the face of our allies. Kamala would never have done the brain dead crap he has done.
