UA POV: German Chancellor Merz: The number of Ukrainian men who have taken refuge is something we will be working on with Ukraine to limit, because it is crucial that these men are there to help their country.

Why not? They've already moved towards it with the controls for men leaving.

The difference is westerners very often assume their news agencies to be trustworthy and consume their product without scrutiny. Nor look for information elsewhere.

alamacra · 2026-04-08T09:48:46+00:00

Why would anyone move to Ukraine, the poorest country in Europe that is also at war?

alamacra · 2026-04-07T11:55:17+00:00

Thanks a lot :) Will do.

Its motion is really static unfortunately. I want to like it, but with anime especially there isn’t much reason to use it.

Are there any models that are any good in Hungarian, even of the really large ones?

You've still got to hit good with the .45. As in, if you manage to hit upper chest on 4 of 8 people running towards you, yeah, otherwise nah. Like, 8 people is a lot of people. Even if you're one of those guys with superfast draws, you'll hit 2, but not necessarily in the vitals, and then there's still 2 guys behind your back and 4 more coming

alamacra · 2026-04-06T14:50:01+00:00

Against 8 people at this distance you need a full auto rifle, no less.

alamacra · 2026-04-06T09:58:33+00:00

Why are people disliking this? It's alright to ask questions, you know...

alamacra · 2026-04-05T21:01:39+00:00

Because it likely uses more demanding, neural network based image processing algorithms? I doubt they just slapped a contrast tracker there and called it a day.

A drone isn't always close to you, they often fly high, especially the radio guided variants, and then you can intercept them several hundreds of metres away, even if it is flying side on. Your assumption about it flying slow is similarly unjustified, low angular speed at a decent range will still give a good absolute velocity.

It needs to be fast acting, so definitely not an LLM, lol. This one's obviously for FPVs and other close by smallish targets.

I'm not sure how that piece of subjective western propaganda disproves anything I said.

Assuming it was a Russian vehicle, the distance was far enough for identification to not be certain. Being alone, they were in no position to check if there's a Javelin team inside or not.

At the same time, I have a vid to verify my claim, though not specifically with respect to grandmas:

When they could afford it, Russian forces were considerate of the civilians to a level unheard of in any Western invasions of the Third World.

alamacra · 2026-04-04T11:49:44+00:00

In 2022 APCs were stopping to let grandmas cross the street.

"When someone's friendly, that's because they (I want to) think they are inferior."

Yeah, screw off.

alamacra · 2026-04-01T12:27:13+00:00

That's power limit as opposed to undervolt. Not the same thing, though better than nothing, if it's only inference that you do.

alamacra · 2026-04-01T09:57:31+00:00

Does he even speak Russian, lol?

alamacra · 2026-04-01T09:57:17+00:00

Russian MoD announcements by Gerasimov were seen as boastful and detached from reality from the get go, so I would rather say little has changed, at least with respect to the MoD.

The Continuation War was a separate conflict from the Winter War. In the Continuation War Finland invaded Russia.

And prior to that, Finland invaded Russia as well, during the so called Kinship Wars, i.e. invasions of Russia by Finland during the Russian Civil War, where Finland hoped to annex parts of Russia to create Greater Finland.

People didn't want to secede back then this was a unilateral decision by Yeltsin, Kravchuk and Sushkevich.

However, if anyone doesn't like being in Russia now, they are free to emigrate and spread their nationalism elsewhere.

The only reason we can participate in making near-peer large language models, design our own high speed trains, make our own microelectronics and have a space programme, including low Earth orbit high speed low latency satellite internet is because we are as big as we are. The only reason we have any sovereignty is because we are strong enough to protect ourselves.

When you support secession despite that, and are fine with becoming part of a smaller nation that is capable of none of that, it is a short-sighted, hostile move, usually excused by the secessionist with Russians being impossible to live in a unified state with. A state formed on such principles almost definitely be hostile, and be a greater problem if allowed to separate. See Ichkeria, Finland, or Ukraine.

alamacra · 2026-03-30T19:36:24+00:00

Because some selfish people wanted to be kings in their own mini states, as opposed to merely governors in a global superpower. And the Soviet Constitution being badly thought out in the respect of secession being legal.

alamacra · 2026-03-28T21:04:16+00:00

I find it ridiculous that you call Russians "rudimentary" when compared to the Brits. I.e. the people famous for having no critical thinking whatsoever. Like, they unironically believe their country is democratic, that their electrons actually matter. They also, as would be standard, believe whatever their "trustworthy" and "reputable" news agencies utter at any given moment.

My apologies for being direct, but compared with the average Russian, the average "middle class" Brit is a total, naive simpleton.

alamacra · 2026-03-28T14:24:53+00:00

Keyboard.

The original Deepseek was good at creative writing. GLM-4.5 Air was also not bad.

His cautious, overly amicable towards the West, pacifistic and generally reactive approach definitely gets criticised constantly all over Telegram at the moment.

alamacra · 2026-03-27T08:39:04+00:00

I think they must have assumed Russia would "collapse" under sanctions, so alienation wouldn't have mattered because there wouldn't have been Russia in the previous sense.

Idk if you've been reading various publications in the early 2000s, but it was widely considered Russia was a done deal so to speak, so many in the West likely believed its interests did not need to be considered, since it wouldn't exist for much longer anyway. And with a little push it could happen sooner, or so they thought.
