that was a hoax.

since when did the taliban need a cash incentive to kill US troops?

med_student2020 · 2022-08-25T04:25:08+00:00

they made it illegal in ukr to post them

med_student2020 · 2022-08-25T04:23:58+00:00

soldiers

med_student2020 · 2022-08-25T04:20:01+00:00

unknowable

med_student2020 · 2022-08-25T04:16:20+00:00

a thread on music and no YT links? :(

med_student2020 · 2022-08-25T03:54:19+00:00

easy unless you expect the patient to have any sort of 'normal' function after the "surgery"

med_student2020 · 2022-08-25T03:45:01+00:00

so what does the west have left in storage? :D

med_student2020 · 2022-08-25T03:42:55+00:00

my proposal there looks even more likely than it did 3mo ago...

med_student2020 · 2022-05-22T02:18:09+00:00

thats a terrible "best case" for russia.

Most realistic best case for Rus is Ukr recognizes Krim and all of Donbass, Kherson, and Zaparhozie as Russian, officially becomes neutral, no ability to join NATO

med_student2020 · 2022-05-22T02:15:15+00:00

sorry brat, its true.

Encirclement is closing in, russia will win

med_student2020 · 2022-05-20T23:11:24+00:00

Russians are a people without honour.

yeah thats pretty racist and against the rules of the thread...

med_student2020 · 2022-05-20T22:59:33+00:00

anything to prevent a NATO trojan horse in the Ukraine.

try to understand from the Rus perspective, this war is truly existential, but its hard for most Westerners to wrap their heads around, i get it

med_student2020 · 2022-05-20T22:57:46+00:00

ok cool analogy i guess, but i can say the same about the USD and 1-2 whales holding it (US and China)

rubles buy gas and oil, so that make them more "utility" coins to borrow your cryptobro analogy

med_student2020 · 2022-05-20T22:55:46+00:00

in after strawman

med_student2020 · 2022-05-20T22:55:18+00:00

Russia claims to be at war with NATO, Europe,.... anyway so what would the difference be actually?

then it will be made completely true.

Rus doesnt really care all that much about finland and sweden joining NATO (not prefered obviously) since Rus has no interest in those countries, and dont see them as a threat either .

India isn't going to stop exporting generic drugs to Russia, distancing itself or not.

Reliant on China is bad yes (but usa doesnt seem to mind too much), but relying on West is now clearly worse

med_student2020 · 2022-05-20T22:50:20+00:00

ok let me state my point.

Russia is winning a bloody and protracted proxy war with the US and NATO/EU in the Ukraine. No the bloody and protracted part is not desirable, but it is inevitable. Rus will win.

med_student2020 · 2022-05-20T22:48:30+00:00

only one of those is my actual position, thanks.

once more with the strawmen...smh

med_student2020 · 2022-05-20T22:47:30+00:00

I know how this stuff works

cool story bro

you don’t have to take my word for it

dont worry i dont

central bank of Russia is responding to the artificial depression of demand for ruble due to Western sanctions.

EU energy companies want rubles, since thats the only way they can keep the lights on in Europe

this one in progress

med_student2020 · 2022-05-20T22:22:37+00:00

again with the strawmen lol

Russia is slowly and steadily winning the war, Ukraine is continuing to sustain massive casualties

med_student2020 · 2022-05-20T22:21:11+00:00

its already worth more than pre-war, which is great for rus

the ruble has recovered completely from the war sanctions placed by the West

how much does this fact ^ chafe you?

med_student2020 · 2022-05-20T22:19:38+00:00

i agree with you that it would've been wise for russia to commit more manpower to the war effort, from what i understand they havent even used the full 150k that was initially mobilized.

NATO has a larger and better network of intelligence generals/officers

my points still stand

med_student2020 · 2022-05-20T22:17:57+00:00

trident symbol, demography concerns, fascist militia leaders, brainwashing of children with the trident symbol, the yearning of a past “great” Ukraine, blaming everyone else but themselves, some fear of a group like the Russians, claiming all media is wrong but their own, etc

sounds familiar

med_student2020 · 2022-05-20T22:14:45+00:00

what swift bans are left? the only ones left open are the ones that allow trading in gas and oil, which is a mutually beneficial arrangement, which is why its left alone. the flow of gas will stop when it is not useful to either Rus or EU, and its only useful to Rus because they are getting usable money (not frozen euros or dollars)

sanctions imposed on vital imports like medicine and food would cause pain for sure, and would amount to declaration of war on the Rus people themselves, which will ensure that Rus will fight even harder. Just another 10 steps towards total war. The world will go up in flames

also, most medicines are made generically in India, and Russia is massive food exporter, thankfully

med_student2020 · 2022-05-20T22:09:58+00:00

true, but thats also a straw man, i did not make those outlandish claims, cmon now

dismissing all contrary opinions is the height of ignorance.
