Seems like some pressure could be applied to both countries if we really wanted to. Definitely on team weak Biden here. Maybe it’s not too late.
I mean why the fuck do we have to ask Israel for permission? Can we not reverse-engineer iron dome? That’s pathetic if so.
Brittania would still rule the world under those rules.
(Or the Nazis or the Spanish or the Huns or ….). That makes no sense when it’s your back yard.
It’s called the resistance. It seems to pop up against foreign invaders. They have to fight back somehow. If the authoritarian control gets established it might be decades before it changes. (See Europe, eastern; or China, pick your region). It’s not always a success but criticizing them for trying?
Bobman thinking like a Frenchman itt.
Not necessarily saying that’s bad. If you value human life above all else, sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.
But it sure seems the Ukrainians are more in the fight to the death camp at the moment.
Audi, Jaguar Land Rover, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Citroen, General Motors suspended deliveries to Russia.
If video games have taught me anything we should be surrounding Kyiv with these
Delta suspending cooperation with Aeroflot.
All still quiet on the live streams. One quick air raid siren in Kyiv a couple hours ago.
We can’t reverse engineer it fast enough to help Ukraine. Also, Iron Dome was designed to deal with less sophisticated weapons than Russia uses
hoping my russian speaking homelurkers watch this
so apparently this nato response force thing has never been done before. great.
i’m going to go out on a limb. i’ve bet regime change in russia before, and there’s certainly still time for my wager to come through. but this is hella accelerationist. this will be the end of putin.
The Millennial Spirit tanker that Russia shelled in the Black sea was flying a Moldovan flag, but had Russian crew. None died but 2 seriously injured. Definitely winning the hearts and minds in mother russia. I’m still hoping Putin gets out over his skis and loses his grip at home.
I know a few Ukrainians, and although I am not knowledgeable enough to speak on behalf of Ukraine I get the impression that culturally they are keenly aware of the price of Russian subjugation. For example the stories of the 1930s starvation of the Ukraine by Soviets is handed down generation to generation and they reasonably believe that if they don’t die fighting a Russian invasion they will later die under Russian control. They are certainly brave, but they’re also desperate.
that’s too long ago
as a civ guy, we need more denouncements and stop bothering me about a trade agreement with england
Maybe this is obvious but why do we need Israel’s permission on the air defense systems?
America First!
Or…
War With Brown People Only!
Because they own the system.
