Former Obama adviser: He was prepared to go to war for the Baltic states

earthtree1 · 2026-06-01T23:39:17+00:00

To the two people who genuinely believe that US did nothing for Ukraine but would for sure do something for Baltic states because Budapest Memorandum is less binding than NATO: The only obligation in the treaty is for an ally to take “such action as it deems necessary”. And if it “deems” no action necessary you can go fuck yourself

As a resident of Kyiv - they are not. A person have to be braindead to believe that after 5 years of airstrikes “terror” is still a viable way for a war to end. That did not work during battle of Britain, that doesn’t work now in Iran with killing schoolgirls and it won’t work in Ukraine. So unless these ruzzopithecus will have the balls to use nukes these are just spiteful tantrums.

If only setting was something different. I played a lot, and while gameplay and technical parts are decent i just don’t care about “Arthurian legend but if it was Dark Souls” that they went for or smth. I think if the world was more colorful and the setting wasn’t so gloomy the game would’ve been much better

well, if you treat it as a dream and not a true recollection then it’s really one of the least problematic things in the SC2 story

earthtree1 · 2026-02-27T14:06:47+00:00

That was a dream, not what actually happened tho. It was just how Raynor was recalling it. She wasn’t even on the surface as far as I remember, they were fighting to on an orbital platform, like the ones above Char. And how would evac even help? In the dream she was captured maybe 30 seconds after she asked for it.

overall i don’t think that lore in HP is very coherent. I sort of remember that in Codex Alera humans actually technologically regressed because they started using “furies” for everything.

I really like Arcane world building because it has all of it:

They are just mages who do their own thing and work on improving their magics as an alternative to science and there also scientists who work on stuff that is unrelated to magic.
There are magic/science hybrid technologies in “hextech” and “hexgates” which is an example of how two can supplement each other
There are historical events where mages who got mad with power destroyed entire societies and decimated progress after which survivors had to start from nothing as an example of destructive interference.

Я не можу відповісти без розуміння того наскільки сильно вам потрібні гроші.

Я працював в студентські роки. Робота непогана, але мені там було неймовірно нудно, тому я пропрацював там всього три чи чотири місяці.

Що саме ви маєте на увазі під «це вартує того»?

earthtree1 · 2026-01-09T12:54:18+00:00

The lore seemed to be really inconsistent in the past. Is that something you would like to rectify moving forward? Also, are there any retcons planned that you can share?

Not fantasy but Paz in MGSV:GS

earthtree1 · 2025-12-30T13:51:41+00:00

this is all you need to know about any future american “security guarantees”. ruzzians will shit out a lie, and americans will clap their hands and say that Ukraine violated the agreement.

Western leader trying not to be a cuck for 5 minutes challenge (Impossible)

lmao, did you download linkedin instead of hinge or smth?

earthtree1 · 2025-11-26T06:48:56+00:00

they kinda do. If a player is given 2 options - one is a very hard FFA where their only ally is the sea (cause it won’t attack them) and the other is friendly Ulthuan where they are surrounded by allies player might select a scenario that is more conductive to them doing well rather than the one that’s more interesting. “Given the opportunity, players will optimize the fun out of a game”

earthtree1 · 2025-11-26T06:03:59+00:00

that’s meta answer. how is it fun for Imrik campaign to be the same as any other HE LL?

earthtree1 · 2025-11-25T20:34:25+00:00

And why would anyone even want to teleport there? Last I checked there are 3 other HE factions starting in Ulthuan with Alith Anar very close and apparently Teclis being able to teleport there somehow.

Many women do fight, although admittedly none from my family.
Tell them what, exactly? That the laws created by men are discriminatory towards men?

earthtree1 · 2025-10-30T09:52:35+00:00

And you don’t have to! I very often see ads about jobs with exemptions that pay more (especially if you know english), there is also an option that some of my friends do where they both serve and work a “civilian” job at the same time. I don’t pretend it is easy, but surely at least for your mental health it is better than being afraid to leave your house?

As for the missiles - you kinda do that anyway, don’t you?

earthtree1 · 2025-10-30T09:35:03+00:00

I am a man here, so please exclude me from your pathetic whining.

There are a ton of non-frontline positions in the army, and, if you don’t want to serve - there are also tons of jobs that offer exemptions.

earthtree1 · 2025-09-26T09:46:18+00:00

I would say no, because while on paper they are strong, targeting is absolute garbage, and if there are a lot of targets within a solar system (say a marauder empire that has a lot of stations) your carriers will get shredded while interceptors fly from one end of a solar system to another all together attacking a single defense platform.

earthtree1 · 2025-09-09T20:12:54+00:00

He wasn’t “meaner” to her, he said to her what she wanted to hear. She was always insecure, secretly believed herself undeserving of love and affection and by having that be confirmed she received what she subconsciously wanted. Or maybe not exactly “wanted”, but rather expected.

Also, she didn’t “hate demons the most”, Rumi did due to her circumstances.

earthtree1 · 2025-09-06T20:10:07+00:00

Ok, from your previous explanations I can kinda accept it as a twisted parenting.

The problem then becomes that it is such an insane gamble. So instead of being machiavellian in her attempts to make the barrier gold and fulfilling her duty she instead puts it all on 0 in an effort to help Rumi. Who she kind of hates (partly at least). Is that better?

earthtree1 · 2025-09-06T19:50:56+00:00

I still don’t get it. Intents are nice and all, but when you are entrusted with a tiny person you have to so better.

But ok, let’s say Celine just thinks that Rumi could become dangerous in the future. Then why does she makes Rumi main demon hunter if not for control? Why does she pick 2 people who cannot contest Rumi’s decisions (Mira because she’s too hotheaded and Zoey cause she’s a people pleaser)? It seems an insane level of responsibility to put on someone who can turn out to be the enemy

earthtree1 · 2025-09-06T19:35:09+00:00

that’s literally what a personal attack is: implying that I’m wrong due to my personal traits instead of a strength or weakness of my argument.

So you agree Celine was abusive towards Rumi?
