How do you know a ruzzian is lying? Sound is coming out if their mouth.

Poor, poor ruzzian general. Let's send him out oh-no's and anyways.

 

By degrading a near-peer adversary’s military capability, gaining unprecedented battlefield intelligence, and accelerating the testing and development of advanced weapons systems, the U.S. is realizing a Return on Strategic Investment (ROSI) of 321% to 797%

If we were to take over the entire connectivity capacity for Ukraine and all the citizens, — we wouldn't be able to do that.

Luckily, that's not needed. Let's start with covering 50% of the frontline needs.

My version would be "hugs, no high fives and happy to answer meaningful questions"

A hundred dictators is still better than a hundred and one dictator. When one approached a difficult task, it's better to divide it into smaller tasks.

This difficulty to believe it's actually quite fundamental to what's happening.

If you like, I invite you to imagine what would be the explanation if these numbers were true. (Even adjusted for being dead and wounded)

101 artillery pieces is also quite something!

Nope. He just doesn't care. That's much worse.

Once I saw a categorisation I liked. There are three kinds of people: those who know what they want or like, those who know what they don't like and the confused ones.

In other words, it's totally fine even for neurotypicals not too know if something is better than the other, especially when it comes to subjective reactions based on subconscious or feelings.

[–] doo 6 points 1 month ago

Yes, the word is used for both meanings. I doubt ruskies are using it to describe their tactics, though.

If only there were a European country that is investing in the drone technology like their existence depended on it...

2.5 years to halve the reserves, the spend cannot be linear and I also don't think they need to get to zero to have a collapse.

... The economy is being funded by the cash reserves, which increases inflation, which leads to another round of interest rate hikes to combat inflation, which makes it harder to borrow money, which is necessary for economic growth. Eventually, the cash reserves will run out. It took 2.5 years to deplete half the Russian reserves. Russia withdrew $37 billion to cover deficits in December 2022. It withdrew $20 billion to cover deficits in December 2023. It only has $54 billion left.

If anything, russia is showing clear signs of sunk-cost fallacy

In today's #vatniksoup I'll talk about Russian Nazis and introduce Russian neo-Nazi movements and paramilitary groups like Rusich and PMC Wagner. They're best-known for being funded by the Kremlin and being responsible for the "denazification" in Ukraine.

 

So basically, we're waiting for a (hopefully very soon) systemic collapse of moscovite army since they bet both their attack and defence on artillery
