In Rubezhnoye, Ukraine, journalists showed how nitric acid burned.It's real and terrifying.

Having worked with various types of acid in the past, that's fucking terrifying. Even in small quantities that shit can ruin your day, even small drops of nitric acid will chew right through organic fabric. The place I worked had a high low pressure system and cyanide alarms in case any of the acids/select other chemicals mixed. There's probably going to be some very nasty health problems for anyone near that.
 
Someone drew the letter Z on the monument to Pushkin in the Ukrainian Dnieper.

Retards on both sides are ruining my fucking monuments.
They've already removed one Pushkin statue.

Usual "Slava Ukraini" spam. But what the cameraman said was funny @1:20.
Typical Ukrainian slogan/chant since first Maidan is: "Кто не скачет, тот москаль"
"Who doesn't jump, is a Russian". While jumping, obviously.
Found a recent example:

China. Maybe some people aren’t stuck in the Cold War. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1512804018220937228.html

There were many tries to make Yuan global payment currency, all of those failed. After getting payment, you'd likely want to invest your money, or put it into contract to reduce risk from buying raw materials.

The problem with yuan is that chinese stock market is nowhere near markets in EU or US. Well, and they probably never will be, as to idea of free stock market is antithetical to communist china. So, if enterprise gets payment in yuan, most likely course of action is that they will exchange it into euro, or dollar.
 
At first, i have to admit i thought this would only last 2 to 3 weeks, but now i'm open to the actual possibility of this dragging out for months, and the issue with that is the longer this drags out, the bigger the chances are for fuckups to happen that lead to worse situations than what we have going on rn.
It would have ended if either 1) Russia decapitated Urkaine by capturing Kiev or 2) Ukraine surrendered early on while the terms were generous.

Since neither happened and NATO is determined to fight till the last Ukrainean by supplying them with military hardware, we're back to the traditional warfare where the advances don't happen for weeks and are limited to a few kilometers at best even when they do.

I want to stress once again that Russia stands to gain nothing by withdrawing and/or signing a truce at this point. There are literally no incentives to do so, only vague promises to "consider lifting some of the sanctions", key words being "consider" and "some".

Pentagon has admitted they want to see Russia lose the battle on the territory of Ukraine. Note the wording: they do not want the war to end or for Ukraine to escape unscathed.

The longer the US keeps supplying weapons, the less likely peace will be reached. It only prolongs the war and makes it more likely the US will get fully involved.

If we talk seriously, it is hard to comprehend the scale of westerners’ hypocrisy regarding the amount of attention to Ukraine. You know, it’s not exactly Ukrainians’ problem that westerners care only when it’s a country that is situated right next to them and has enough population and technologies to be visible everywhere on internet. That’s not Ukrainians who prevent them from writing about a massacre carried out by a Russian wagner group in a village in the western African country of Mali on march 4 where they did everything Russian military did in Bucha allegedly fighting terrorism. That’s not Ukrainians who hide information about the same wagner group harassing and raping civilians in Central African Republic, a country whose ongoing civil war Russia actively fuels. It’s just much easier to say “Russia never Colonized Africa” on Twitter. That’s not Ukrainians who make them ignore the anniversary of the Khan Shaykhun chemical attack on April 4 that was carried out by the Assad regime assisted by Russia and killed around 100 people. No, it’s just much easier to mention Palestine or Yemen out of context because how dare people are being distracted from hating America. The only problem those people have is that reality does not fit their self-centred fantasies in which the west is the only imperial and colonial force that can exist, and because of that they are ready to justify genocides.
