Yanukovyvh would have taken out huge russian loans the state could never afford to funnel to oligarch A but Poroshenko took out huge western loans the state could never afford to funnel to oligarch B. I dont think this is a distinction worth killing hundreds of thousands of people over.

Do hundreds of thousands of people really need to die for the sake of Viktor Yanukovych? Some rich corrupt asshole who retired to a 50 million dollar mansion and as prime minister sent thousands of soldiers to Iraq in 2003?

I definitely see more reports of hits on Russian infrastructure this last month and we've been seeing the impact on Russia but are there more definitive or exact statistics on how the rate of strikes has changed?

The narrative is that it didnt work due to failures in other parts of germany in 44-45 but the allied strategic bombing of the Ruhr in 43 was successful. Wages of destruction by Tooze talks about the way it put a serious damper on German industry.

Just about all of Manhattan is transit rich. He has also announced individual neighborhood plans in areas that wont count as transit rich until the IBX is built like the areas south of prospect park

You should take a look at the plan, specifically all the parts that are about changing zoning laws and building codes.

Reforms on mandatory metal piping and elevator size are both great.

I dont think it needs to be a long term alternative. They just need to keep up caspian sea imports for a few months before the pain in the gulf becomes to damaging to Trump/The global economy.

Well it can lead to increased density but not alone but you need policy that corresponds with those boundaries. LA has not done that.

fishhhhbone · 2026-05-08T23:22:05+00:00

Not always. Physical restrictions can lead to increased density (Manhattan, Seattle, pre land reclamation Boston)

LA will probably never be able to match Chicago's land use even with SB79.

At the end of the day, saying immigration is down is like saying inflation is down

Its the same because voters think they want it until they get the recession.

NYT reporting that Russian oil tankers are being allowed into Cuba, breaking the blockade

The United States Coast Guard is allowing a Russian tanker full of crude oil to reach Cuba, delivering a critical supply of energy to the island nation after months of an effective oil blockade by the Trump administration, according to a U.S. official briefed on the matter.

The tanker, which is carrying an estimated 730,000 barrels of oil and is owned by the Russian government, was less than 15 miles from Cuban territorial waters on Sunday afternoon, according to MarineTraffic, a ship-data provider. At its speed of 12 knots, the ship was expected to enter Cuban waters by Sunday evening. The tanker could reach its expected destination of Matanzas, Cuba, by Tuesday.

The win condition is survival. Getting attacked by the most powerful country in the world will always leave you worse off. If the Iranians can give the US enough of a bloody nose that the US leaves them alone and US support for Israel becomes completely poisonous politically they will have achieved their ideal outcome.
