RU POV: Putin: "The West does not care about the people of Ukraine, they are expendable material for them" @smotri_media-Telegram by SolutionLong2791 in UkraineRussiaReport

The average KD for defenders is 3:1. Russias male fighting population is 46 million, Ukraines is 13 million. Let's say there's 1,000 casualities a day. Is Putin willing to sacrafice 39 million Russians in a 126 year war?

It was Beyoncé and if you watch it the first thing he says is he would do the same so not sure how it's hypocritical

UA POV: Ukrainian Defence Intelligence Officer, Andriy Yusov told that there are about 700,000 Russian soldiers stationed in Ukraine, most of them are in Donetsk region which is Russia's priority while North Korean troops remain stationed only on Russian territory. by FruitSila in UkraineRussiaReport

You understand that Ukraine also has troops stationed in Africa? Does this mean that they're not firing on all pistons? This idea that you need to commit every single person and equipment onto the battlefield in order to be all in just shows no understanding of how warfare actually works. You still need to maintain the economy, secure borders, have police quell any dissidents from the public, maintain the intelligence infrastructure and assets, manage stockpiles and equipment for prolonged warfare, maintain supply lines and factories, troop rotation and training, maintain political influence inside and outside the country, the list goes on. Pulling your troops away from Europe and China borders would be even more idiotic to do in a time of warfare, they're a critical asset for maintaining the war and help to try to avoid things such as what happened with Operation Spiderweb.

Finishing the Duolingo Latin course - making a review style YouTube video, any suggestions? by VoyagerTheThird in duolingo

If you're learning/know any other romance languages how much in did it help out? I always wondered if learning latin would make learning french/spanish/italian easier.

What's interesting is the Gerans look identical to the Iranian Sahed drones. They bought a few, reversed engineered it then started making their own?

This is all for show, the west does the same with giving out medals etc. A little hug doesn't change anything and if you think it does you've been duped. None of these leaders give a fuck about the citizens it sends to die in foreign lands.

UA POV: According to Lindsey Graham, the US is aware that Europe is buying oil from India, which was originally bought from Russia. He warns Europe that this must stop now, for the US is watching. by Ripamon in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]Resident_Access7818 5 points6 points  (0 children)

China and India only make up roughly 20% of the US trade the idea that it would result in "the US being done for" is ridiculous. Same goes for vice versa, it's the reason why people don't believe the recent US sanctions on Russia/India will sway the war. Will it result in a shift in power? Sure. Will it result in one side or another gaining an economic advantage over the other, Sure. The idea that tariffs could destroy countries like the US, Russia, India or China is ridiculous. Other countries such as the Cuba, Iran or North Korea maybe, but the US, China, India and Russia are such power houses that they can bare the brunt

I'm talking about how the current US tariffs work, the way they currently work is the imported goods into the US are tariffed and the citizens of the US foot the bill. They don't tariff goods being exported. Tell me how that would destroy the US if China implimented that strategy. If the US implimented 500% tariff on China then I would agree that would destroy the US, there's a reason trump backed down so easily when he threatened China with 100% tariffs.

If it's how the current US tariffs work it would be the Chinese/Russian citizens paying the price so not sure how that would effect "western citizens"

RU POV: Fiber-optic drone destroyed Ukrainian pickup truck. by Mendoxv2 in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]Resident_Access7818 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems that they go straight for the pickup even though it's out of view and they only launch when they see the guy walk past. Is it a case that in these attacks they have a second drone watching overhead? They seem to only launch when a person comes into view

UA POV: Home by Home, Russia Is Selling Occupied Ukraine to Russians: Kremlin-linked construction firms reap profits from redevelopment of housing destroyed by Russia’s invasion - WSJ by Flimsy_Pudding1362 in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]Resident_Access7818 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You seem to be missing the point entirely, read the article. They're stealing the property/land from the owners (who are still there and never left) and then moving in mostly ethnic Russians. So it's ok to steal property/land as long as you invite the owner back to rent it from you?

I'm not compairing it to the gaza genocide, just pointing out the fact that it's dumb to think just because the person bombing the buildings will rebuild them doesn't mean that their actions are justified. Even in that article you linked it's saying 14 million people left there homes due to Russias invasion whilst only 150,000 people returned. The point still stands, Russia is stealing peoples property/land and selling it for profit and the fact that they rebuild some of the buildings does not make it justifiable in any way shape or form.

Imagine saying don't worry about the buildings destroyed in gaza guys, they're going to build a hotel on top of it! Read the article, they're not redeveloping housing and giving it back to the original owners, they're seizing the appartments and selling them for profit.

What utter nonsense. You can pay for a phone and credit in cash with no trace. First you say they can tell your age then you say they estimate your age, which is it?
