The basic problem is that for Ukrainians being on the defensive works. But wars are not won just by being on the defensive. Ukraine should make counte...
As Russia has the most nuclear weapons, it can be pretty sure that any country won't attack it. That should be obvious. Or let's say the US response t...
I would put that all in past tense. There simply is no way around this: Putin made huge gambles, made huge victories (2014 annexation of Crimea), or a...
Here's a good primer on Putin, made by PBS Frontline. Tells well how we are where we are now and just how and why Putin got to power. Worth seeing. ht...
A choice. But not the only choice. Defend to get a better peace treaty is a possibility also. Is it so crazy to understand that defending against the ...
Plus this has been verified by Putin declaring that reservists (and conscripts) are not and will not be used in the "special military operation". :win...
I think think this could easily verified, if false. As easily as the false news that Zelensky had left Kyiv. Just look if the name Viktor Gulevich pop...
So with your delusional logic then I guess the Grenadians and Cubans attacked the US in 1983??? Because it's the same military. :chin: What choice doe...
Oh, @"Christoffer"... in the first photo it was terminally ill children showing their support for the troops performing the Special Military Operation...
I think this is the likely thing that will happen. The denials of there being no marshal law have now been said so many times from the Russian regime,...
I think the "Z" doesn't come from a remodeled Swastike, but is the way Putin's regime hopes to instill patriotic fervour to the war. And of course, ma...
Interesting development. Reasons why Belarus hasn't participated in the fucked up invasion of Ukraine. And worrying signs it might...if generals have ...
Will of the people to fight, to resist, is in every war essential. Now that deterrent has failed, motivation in war is crucial. Motivation is importan...
Ukraine did do two very smart moves. By not only saying that all 18 to 60 year old men have to stay in Ukraine, but that this has been at large obeyed...
A telling tweet from the Finnish Security and Intelligence Service roughly translated to English: Anticipating perhaps reactions of some people and of...
Again. Russia has the most nuclear weapons in the World. Nobody is attacking it. That's enough, really. Ukraine has perfectly legitimate strategic int...
And I predicted you would, exactly. Oh yes, fables. Lol. So what does the math of hierarchy theory say about the impact of Donald Trump compared to Jo...
Does neoliberalism deem monetarism as an essential part? Liberalism surely didn't want something as micromanaging as monetarism to be around. But mone...
Oh yes... do notice Putins intelligence chief stumbled in his words. Or that when they celebrated Putins admission, the stage fireworks show showed pe...
Well, especially in history you do find the tension of the individual and the group certainly. But not perhaps in the way you would want it. It is the...
Well, for example by saying that "the "best" society manages to balance its global cooperation with its local competition by maximizing its social coh...
Yes, It just has clearly stated that it wants large chunks of Ukraine to itself. :smirk: Like Peskov has said in their peace offering, which you quote...
Destroyed columns say something else. And if the vast majority of the Russian forces are engaged, then combat is obviously happening elsewhere where t...
Something think about, if one knows anything about military According to the New York Times: Now 17 000 anti-tank weapons is huge amount. That it has ...
At least the first sign of Pro-Putin patriotism can be seen in Russia with the application of the "Z" sign. Likely to be basically for the population ...
It's genuine, Peskov is Putin's man. Of course Peskov has thrown earlier wild pitches at opponents: for example he purposed to Trump "as a show of fri...
This is a worthy comment. Russia has gained ground, even if slowly. It's all too early to say that Russia has failed. What only can be said that they'...
Those who are so worried about the Neo-nazis in Ukraine, it should be worth wile to mention how Israeli papers reported the election win of Zelensky a...
First I think you should define just what Putin losing would mean. Why do leaders need this? Simply to portray to their own people that they are doing...
Russia wasn't broken up. The Soviet Union, the successor to the Russian Empire collapsed. Ukrainians aren't Russians, Lithuanians are not Russians, Es...
Who knows. I assume at least securing a land bridge to Crimea and at least getting the parts of Donbas that are now "independent states". He cannot re...
Exactly. And everywhere you can see a link from chemistry to biology, but not in the questions. Treating biology just as "complex chemistry" doesn't m...
What harm could a lost, pointless war could do to the leadership that instigated it? A lot. After losing the Falklands War and not getting the "Malvin...
Did I say that? As if I wouldn't accept that humans are part of the natural World? And here you see the issue I'm trying to make clear for you. Econom...
The biggest reason is the money printing. If you create so much money, then prices finally rise. It's the systematic flaw in our financial system base...
How? Maximize what? How do you maximize "social cohesion" and "individual independence"? What do you really measure, if you want to maximize the two? ...
We can speculate only so far. Basically the invasion of Ukraine by Russia has been a geopolitical earthquake that isn't at all over yet. Both NATO and...
Yet economics is the belief part. That belief part of believing that it can organize itself to survive and thrive is the problem. Belief is the proble...
And which of the conflicts would reject my hypothesis? With Cambodia you mean 1991? The Cambodian-Vietnamese War went on for 10 years. Decisive victor...
Hmmm... that might take a bit of time. Just to give an example: let's think of the T-72 tank. It's 50 years old. About 18 000 tanks were produced in a...
As having read economics and as an economic historian, which the latter basically some even don't consider a "science", the obvious problem is subject...
I think it's really about the questions we make. Or the answers we want to have. For example, from metal you can make ships, aeroplanes or space rocke...
Peace negotiations happen either when a) one side has had enough and is facing at least the possibility of unconditional surrender / total defeat or w...
Read properly. Neo-nazi problem. There's more likely a problem with the foreigners running around with de-nazification on mind. So there's a war going...
Do you know how genocidal the war in Checnya was? The Second Chechen War was Putin's war. First among many. You can look up the widely varying casualt...
Is there? I don't think there is. I think there are neo-nazis in many countries. I think in Ukraine there is a "Your neighbor wants to de-nazify you" ...
That we surely will know. What the timetable for that is, nobody knows. Another week, a month, six months, a year or more, who knows... What history t...
