Ah yes, the famous pentagon blue maga shadow task force focused on lemmy.

Don’t worry, I’m not offended.

A wish Sabine hossenfelder would check it out

Different people take different things from it, there isn’t a correct and an incorrect way.

I’m so excited! Will it not suck completely? Maybe!

We have had many predictions like that before. I believed in some and I take myself to be quite conservative in these estimations. What I saw is that none of them actually happen as an event, but very gradually. The best example is artillery shells. Media has predicted that Russia will run out of shells many times, but it doesn’t happen of course, because thats not how the world works. They just reduce consumption. This reduction was not big enough for any media to even report.

What im trying to say is that there is very likely not going to be an event when Russia cracks. As sanctions are applied, workarounds are found. They have enough people by sheer numbers to at least defend the front for many years to come.

Not significantly. For now Russia made sufficient changes to endure and project an appearance of stability.

That’s not the point. The point is when will this effect the war? Significantly. Enough to matter to Ukraine.

Russian economy is going towards ruin…

… but it’s not nearly fast enough to have a substantial impact on the war in Ukraine. Russia is good to fight for another 2 or 3 years, maybe an additional year if they really push it. Can Ukraine do that? Not unless NATO seriously ramps up high tech weapon deliveries.

I didn’t know that. Can you recommend an article or something about that?

You can frame it like that or you could frame it that life saving weapons are provided while wrapping financing into something the countries can digest.

It’s just messed up messaging. Germany will continue to deliver all the aid that was promised and they might add new aid, but the financing will be different.

At this point it is necessary to mention Germany provides a lot.

Also to mention, maybe Germany gov should change their Pr department. These kinds of things have now became a pattern.

The operator is like : wtf do I do now? 🤣

Probably since they himarsed that new conscript party.

Ah cool. I subscribe to the guy as well!

Yes, that is what Im hoping. But to force troop relocation, you have to dig in which takes time or you have to blitz to Moscow like prigozin, which would really be madness, but it could work.

I hope this is part of a bigger plan and not some desperation move.

Only that there are also a lot of commies who would exterminate a whole lot of centrists.

Could be, but then blood thinners also make the wound heal longer.

Samsung.

I don’t know which battery it is since it was 3rd party, but as much as I have read people have the same experience either way.

(supposedly it’s an original battery)
