What do you mean what happens?

That’s just not true. They just have to be engineered properly. like the one above. The case is the heat sink and it doesn’t look like much but the grooves increase the surface area something like 5x and it’s like 16 pounds of aluminum

We'll see. I'm actually hoping for this optimistic scenario where Putin isn't really serious about this invasion, is only going to fight enough to make it look real, and then use the act of withdrawing as a big bargaining chip. He keeps bringing up being open to talk / going back and forth on it? I'm not sure info is accurate on that tho Zelenskyy is brave and I think you're right about him willing to be that martyr, but idk if he's given up yet. He's receiving support from tons of countries. Ukraine's army might be stronger than people realize, including Putin. The Ukrainians seem super motivated to fight, and they have been fighting since 2014. This isn't a country that was just going about its business and suddenly got invaded. In fact, Putin stretching this out over so many years might be what really toughened up ukraine the most.

ohhhh the pro. I wanted one of those back in the day

It's probably the right move tho. The world not believing Putin's narrative is important.

we were doing a scene and the condom came off her dick completely inside me. Like no condom visible. I reached up inside myself and got it and she put it back on for the rest of the scene just for continuity since it didnt really matter anymore right?

We have been, and other countries have too. It can be hard to find news on weapons deliveries since it can be politically unpopular in the donor country to give stuff away. Or they don't want the enemy to know what our allies have. So a lot of the time it's hush hush and when it is reported on, the quantity of whatever was delivered can be reported as less or even a different weapon. Heres a quick list from wikipedia of some of the things we've donated. This isn't something I've researched at all tho so idk. See to me that dollar amount isn't enough but it could be a lot less than what we actually sent.

That fan I posted about who wanted to buy me the playstation works at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in ukraine. I hope he's ok but working at the biggest plant in ukraine has gotta be a dangerous job to have during this. His friend was already killed in Donbass in the earlier invasions too. I saw there's videos of helicopters fighting there, explosions have been heard, and one news report says the russians set up howitzers aimed at the plant and were threatening to fire? The howitzer part sounds made up. I messaged him yesterday but he hasn't responded. If anyone happens to see anything about Zaporizhzhia, post it please?

What we're both saying can both be true. After ukraine, moldova, then maybe the caucasus, then more into central asia wherever there's an opportunity. But these are smaller and smaller victories to claim. Still he might do it precisely for the reasons you listed. He can play renegade cold war general without actually invading europe. And he can kill a lot of innocent people unfortunately. But from a cold calculating viewpoint, it's small moves. And them being small moves is what will let him get away with murder.
-
I would consider china, russia, iran, north korea more together than separate. They're fighting an asymmetrical cold war. They don't wanna appear together at all yet really. It's a very very long game. And they're not 100% on it themselves. You're right about africa tho. We really need to step up our africa game or it's going to be a difficult future.
-
He can only cyber, sow unrest, and terrorism. He can't invade there and you answered it yourself, bc they're NATO. Attacking ukraine now is economics and symbolic. He's not hitler and he doesn't want to be.
-
Basically as china does that we give the ukrainians bigger guns in proportion to that but the nuances of the realities of proxy wars is yucky for press events and the specific actions get into classified things which is why you heard "no comment" today. None of it is really a secret tho. It's just polite not to speak about it
-
That's a long objective. Invasion will work in ukraine and moldova simply bc circumstances allow it to. Belarus is already on his side. He can't invade scandinavia. He could and probably will push alittle more into central asia but hes limited there already too. Building sympathetic markets out of africa/central asia and winning the influence battle in india are more effective long term goals for the eastern block than a land war into europe.

to the nice reporter at the end, i had india as mixed relations. A lot of AK47s there. Would anyone change the above graphic? What do I have wrong? I just edited it singapore was supposed to be neutral and fixed mexico

It’s a tactical decision at this point. You could literally lose everything by Team Americaing Ukraine now. It’s too late. You would be rewarding Russia and hurting the rest of Europe if you committed to Ukraine now. North Korea already taught everyone that nukes are essential for real defense so it’s not like we have to defend the lie to the contrary anymore. We lost Ukraine a long time ago. It is sad bc we could’ve. If we put troops in the way first then Putin couldn’t have done this but since he’s there first now we can’t.
