Well, first of all, maybe it is just a shit show. My main point is that people who say masterful Russian propaganda methods exercised through the West...
Team reality did predict it: And I was in the middle of doing some basic research, writing up an analysis of why this latest chapter may too be staged...
The war has not been so intense since 2014. That there was 8 years of a low intensity civil war "supported" by Russia is not any basis to say the curr...
This is exactly my thesis: that Ukraine offensives have the same problems as Russian offensives ... just worse as they have less capabilities (less pl...
The West keeps saying they'll "do whatever it takes" blah, blah, blah ... but we agree that the goal here is not "Ukraine winning" in any military sen...
If you follow pretty much any source about the war, West or Russia or Qatari or Indian or whatever, the Russians firing significantly more shells at e...
This is simply pure invention. We didn't know Russia's stock before before, during nor now. What we do seem to know is Russia fires significantly more...
Even the mainstream Western media has thrown plenty of doubt on what caused the dam to collapse, mainly due to there being literally zero evidence and...
Unfortunately I don't have much time for the forum just right now ... but who's ramping up manufacturing to replace this material? Likewise, where wil...
You don't need to fit these radars into an aircraft, fighters already have radars that can track, they have to be closer than these massive ground bas...
Definitely firing missiles blindly in a general direction is unlikely to succeed. However, sending targeting information from one system to another is...
Obviously there's no incentive to not have trade routes open, the question is the cost extracted by the US to engage with their system. Countries, bas...
The mission purpose of S-400 long range missiles are against big and slow targets such as tankers and AWAKS, to keep these as far way from the fight a...
By risk, I mean significantly more risk. Flying anywhere near Russia / the front is going to be significantly more risky than flying along the border ...
Though everything up to hear you say in your comment is true, I do not think it leads to this conclusion. Fighters are not good at permanent air defen...
You miss the point here. The point is not that other countries can repeat what Russia has done from scratch, the point is that by completely removing ...
I listened to the entirely of this interview, and it's mostly them criticising the Biden administration for not committing hard enough to Ukraine, not...
Although I think technically true, the arms industry is the second largest in Russia and a significant amount of the Soviet supplies and war productio...
I was unaware the "nuclear option" was coined by people trying to make it sound negative and something best to avoid. First time I heard it was listen...
It's nice to see that you see point of view. I'm far less optimistic all these geopolitical changes won't end in disaster, but I agree with summary of...
Obviously you didn't get the satire. The claim the Russians have a masterful "soviet" propaganda scheme machine going was to support the idea not only...
You mean we aren't doing victory laps over the capture of Bakhmut because we aren't "Russia-bellends" but view the war as an immense and easily preven...
I actually miss Olivier5 calling me a Russian agent. Not only was it comedy gold but of great insight into how people maintain their world view. And t...
You do realise you're the one proposing the conspiracy theory that the Russian did in secret (i.e. conspired) to blow up their own pipeline, a crime a...
Yes ... so ... why did the US president first threaten to put an end to the pipeline and then when challenged double down and "promised" the world the...
What story? At no point did I recount a story. What I did was outline the key questions a story that it was the Russians would need to at least addres...
You're position is literally: Now you're walking back from "much more clear who was responsible" to "conjecture". We don't disagree what Russia's moti...
Discussing with you is like shifting through the debris of a vapid soul. It is not worth my time for something as low stakes as the question of whethe...
Nord stream 2 never got permission to open from the Germans, so it's difficult to see a motive for the Russians blowing it up. Nord Stream 1 wasn't fl...
You seem to claim this is some sort of backup for NATO's claims. You literally state: But if you want to pretend there's some "independent journalism"...
What findings? You literally just said yourself investigation is "on-going" so they'd be stupid to release any actual evidence that would allow the cu...
The evidence you are talking about is literally ships near the scene of the crime. Civilian ships, military ships, covert ships. Any kind of ship with...
You are completely delusional. Placing someone where they would likely be (a busy shipping lane) = weak evidence. Someone threatening to do something,...
And speaking of court, if you want to argue on that basis, "who dun it?" we cannot say conclusively based on the available evidence, but what we can k...
What planet are you living on? Saying you're going to do something ... then that thing happening would definitely be used against you in court. Mafia ...
This is not very good evidence at all, considering Russian ships regularly go through the Baltic and you have to go through the Danish straits (basica...
We are not disagreeing. I've mentioned a few times that hypothetically NATO has trained and equipped an entire new army, maybe even provided a whole n...
The narrative of a Ukrainian offensive is that NATO has trained and armed many brigades and this will be a game changer when they arrive at the front ...
What's war mongering is the assumption that supplying arms is somehow necessary to the exclusion of peace talks and diplomacy. That declaring things l...
For people curious about the use of ChatGPT in legal analysis, definitely has limits, but also has it's uses. For example, with the simple prompt: "Wh...
I have to agree with here, when I mention most of the world (especially most of the world's leaders) are closer ideologically to Putin than the West: ...
What's interesting is that pro-Russian human accounts have influence and pro-Ukraine bot accounts have influence. One could speculate that if there is...
The West has managed to develop "woke warmongering" somehow. Not-supplying-arms would be a micro-aggression against the mythical representation of the...
This does not in anyway even contradict the my statement: Everything you said doesn't comment on who's most responsible for the result of a policy. Su...
What you describe is definitely the recipe, just to me seemed like more work, and higher risk, to coverup crime that happened in another country anywa...
What may also surprise you even more is that this goes on for 7 pages of dense type ... with some paragraphs underlined and in bright red, which defin...
Oh totally, it was totally shocking to me receiving this document, totally floored. It's actually difficult to imagine a prosecutor sitting down and w...
