I knew you were retarded, but damn. The examples I provided are of people who have 0 qualification to do their jobs, while yours is "lol, she is a health minister and is fat".
Ok Gonzo. I might know more directly on the matter of government than you. You just cheat people. No Jew man was as low. Also your unsourced insta or telegram posting earlier means jack shit. I source. It takes a moment. You don't because your lies would be too obvious. Ministers are rarely specialists, even if a doctor or army officer. You do not understand government or any honest trade

Refund Professor Keen you old fraud. Even if you aren't one of Gonzo's socks, you come across as dishonest. Gonzo suits therefore.

I wish the imaginary Nazis hassling Gonzo were real.
 
May not be the most interesting clips, but it does confirm the assumption that footage of Russian progress can only be recorded by authorized Russian press or social media channels (like WarGonzo). All other videos of Russian movements are being recorded by Ukie civilians, I believe.

Speaking of WarGonzo, they do have a YouTube channel that you can check out here.
Speaking of... this guy is like the Russian version of Demolition Ranch; he's definitely working for them, and is rumored to have been fighting in Donbass since 2014, hence his easy access to the big stuff.

And now in hindsight, his focus on grenades, RPGs, and mines in the last month makes sense.
 
Seems the thinking is Russian commanders are frustrated with slow progress, and are taking greater risks in the field. I can believe that given how Russia's command doctrine emphasises top-down leadership, as opposed to Western doctrine which emphasises independent action even at platoon level.
If Russian commanders were taking greater risks, we'd see something happening on the battlefield, either them pushing deeper into Ukraine or a large amount of dead Russian soldiers.
 
By the end of this i fully expect the wikipedia page for this incident to look like the Russian civil war one

Nigerian Civil War is my favorite. Just look at this mash up of conflicting cold war loyalties (and Israel doing both sides of course):

Like this guy said, ministers are often not specialist, anf that's fine, because ministers are selected to become scapegoat. Only select few important ministries are usually specialist, but its usually just the same, they're meant to be the person to blame if something goes wrong
 
Even more fun Russia is the 2nd largest source of oil for China and China is the number 1 producer of plastic on earth. All that plastic bullshit everyone is buying from China is just buying Russian oil by proxy.

Here's an article about Russian involvement in the Apple supply chain.


Good quote

"
According to the United States Gold Bureau, a single iPhone has 0.015 grammes of palladium. Russia supplies more than a third of the United States’ palladium on a global level. Russia is also a major manufacturer of titanium, which is utilized in a variety of applications ranging from the chassis of various iPhone models to aircraft production. It doesn’t end there, though.

As of December 2020, Apple’s supply chain includes ten metal smelters and refiners situated in Russia. Tantalum, tungsten, and gold, which are used in Apple products, are produced in smelters and refineries. The conflict’s consequences may potentially drive-up prices for materials not largely produced from Ukraine and Russia. Russia, for example, produces only 6% of the world’s aluminum, but economic sanctions are driving up prices for the metal, which is used in nearly every Apple product’s casing.
"

The Journalist scolding you on their IPhone on Twitter about Russia vs. Ukraine? Their device contains Russian materials. You cannot use Apple products and support Ukraine.

So after Russia wins this, how many years are going to pass where people insist that Ukraine actually won despite losing half of its territory and all of its military strength; and then how many years later will the "fact check"come out that shows Russia actually won and that the media was lying for half a decade before that fact check is subsequently buried and none of the media apologize for lying and causing significantly more harm than was necessary?

Asking for a friend.

Colbert now saying that paying extra in gas is good so you can have a clean conscience.
I miss the 2000s era Daily Show to be honest. He actually used to tell jokes and they would at least be amusing even if you didn't agree with him. That's what made it watchable.

Now he's just a cunt trying to pass off talking points as "comedy" while the rest of the country gets poorer over time.
I think they're trying to boost morale, but catching a bullet to the dome is probably not a good way to do so.
Yeah you gotta imagine it does wonders in the psychological warfare department as well. Seeing a ranking officer lose his head right in front of you can't be good for your mental health let alone the army.

He probably would because he’s a millionaire, but every electric car owner I know bitches about not getting 1-1 net metering on their solar panels (power is cheap at noon due to oversupply and expensive at night when they need to charge their cars), paying high electricity prices at Superchargers, and having to pay an extra registration tax to make up for no gas tax.
 
The Wikibox for the war is reporting Russian casualties from four different sources right now.
To be fair, it’s not uncommon for Wiki editors to put a whole bunch of “sources” at the end of their edits, most of which will back up their personal opinions as “fact” and make it harder for their edits to be removed.
 
So the burgers are now threatening sanctions against India AND China? Holy fuck, the depth of retardation knows no bounds. America has more deathfats and troons per square inch than any other nation. Lard mixed with oestrogen is fucking with their minds, and let's it face the average burger has never been that stable.

It's time the rest of the planet sealed off the US and stopped all contact with them. They combine love of war with almost total sexual and moral degeneracy. They're leading us over a cliff. Economic depression at a minimum and potentially nuclear war.
You're forgetting something.

India and China need the US far more than the US needs India and China. China especially is dependent on economic parasitism to the US for it's economy to keep growing. The "burgers" possess a nation in a unique position of self-sufficiency, hampered only by the idiotic policies of the current regime.

India is, well, India. And it currently has its own central political problems, what with the political war between broadly "right-wing" Hindu-Indian nationalists ("Hindutvadis") on one side, and a coalition of Indian Marxists ("Urban Naxals"), Muslims ("Peacefuls"/"Harmfuls"/etc.), and general liberal-leftists on the other.
And now China will get all those sweet, sweet natural resources, Russian weapon technology and them being clearly the weaker one of the power bloc.
Coupled with China's huge industry, which the west foolishly outsourced to them and unlimited manpower, I am not betting on the unraveling American empire and their useless allies/vassals.
People have been prophesizing the decline of the so-called "American Empire" (for they always confuse hegemony with "empire") for literal generations now. And yet America still endures, sometimes weaker, other times stronger. American cultural (especially in regards to popular, internet, and "meme" culture), linguistic, economic, scientific, military, and even intellectual influence, for better or worse, is still extremely high (although not as high as it's ever been). America, no matter what, will always remain, at minimum, a great power.

Now, let us look at the alternatives:
  • Nobody wants to become closer to Russia or China.
  • India is surrounded by smaller states hostile or ambivalent to it in some way.
  • Iran is currently embroiled in perpetual conflict with its Arabic-speaking neighbors.
  • All the states in Southeast Asia are either broadly pro-US or anti-China.
  • The only distinctly "pro-Chinese" state in East Asia is North Korea, and even then only on military terms.
  • The Central Asian states back Russia solely because it is necessary for them (or, rather, their ruling regimes) to do so.
  • Western and Central European strategic and military independence from the US is practically nonexistent.
  • Eastern Europe is currently suffering its own problems, ones that, quite honestly, they should be allowed to settle on their own without any outside influence or interference on these matters.
  • Turkey is being put on a terrorism support "grey list" because of Erdogan's bullshit.
  • The Caucasus are in a claustrophobic web of influence between Turkey, Iran, and Russia.
  • Africa is a mess with relatively few powers capable of asserting even regional hegemony.
  • Australia (the only country in Oceania that really matters) is as anti-China and pro-US as its ever been
  • And America still has total control over its "backyard", i.e. the Americas as a whole.

Luckily the US is not a huge country that is extremely dependent on petrol based transportation.
America has its own, massive reserves of fossil fuels. Unfortunately, a major pipeline (the Keystone Pipeline) got shut down by the current(ly flailing) administration for brownie points, and now Americans are enduring the consequences of such an idiotic action.
 
So after Russia wins this, how many years are going to pass where people insist that Ukraine actually won despite losing half of its territory and all of its military strength; and then how many years later will the "fact check"come out that shows Russia actually won and that the media was lying for half a decade before that fact check is subsequently buried and none of the media apologize for lying and causing significantly more harm than was necessary?

Dude the USA won in Vietnam because they had more kills or something.

So forever.
