I've kinda grappled with that, but it is a net benefit for ukraine since the smarter/capable ones left, and only left the rest to get sent to the meat grinder.SuperJail Warden wrote:
I advocated before for being welcoming of Russians who wanted out. More human resources for the U.S. and less for Russia.
Its a shame uziq isn't here, having expired from having his essence drained over and over, I could have told him "I told you so"LONDON — Nigel Farage, one of the biggest advocates of Britain’s departure from the European Union, reckons Brexit has failed.
Speaking on the BBC’s Newsnight program Monday night, the former Brexit Party leader — one of the most famous figureheads of the Brexit cause — admitted the U.K. had not benefited economically from leaving the bloc.
“What Brexit has proved, I’m afraid, is that our politicians are about as useless as the commissioners in Brussels. We’ve mismanaged this totally,” Farage said, responding to a raft of data suggesting there had been a negative economic impact of Brexit.
Fuck Israel
The issues in Belgorod are a sign of Ukrainian weakness. I know people don't want to hear that but it is what it is.
The anticipated Spring Offensive is now a "Summer Offensive." Bakhmut is under near total control of Russia. The Ukrainians are unable to defeat the Russians in a standup fight and are now resorting to terrorist like tactics. "Terrorism is desperation" has been the argument for decades. And attacking undefended towns is pretty terrorist like.

-50 votes in 2 minutes in /r/worldnews when I pointed out that things aren't going great for Ukraine at the moment.
It reminds me of the post-9/11 echo chamber.

Reddit is a bunch of establishment centrists.
Why are you posting on reddit about Ukraine? Lol

imo upvotes and downvotes don't really do the "filtering" job they're ostensibly for. Bunch of empty comments still hit top, bunch of reasonable arguments get buried or hidden. Adds nothing to the discussion, and everything to internet point trophy cases (that said, it was still useful for uploaded content, such as youtube where there's like 80 fake movie trailers per actual).
I can think of very little reason why I'd want to engage in political discussion on e-peen social media. Even just observing boomers get bot-banned for taking bait doesn't sound terribly exciting.

Everyone on Reddit is 17 years older than they were 17 years ago, so I'm guessing about 30 now.

Scottish National Party and Boris Johnson are having a bad weekend.
Fuck them both.
I hate smug holier-than-thou shitbags like Nicola Sturgeon.

I think that the current build-up of Russian troops on the Crimea is mainly a backup plan to save Russia's only Black Sea/Mediterranean access.
They have made contracts with Ukraine under Yanukovych to have exclusive access to their seaports and airfields there.
But that is something that could easily change, especially since the new government was formed with parties from the Western regions only, is EU focused and intends to join NATO.
I dare to say that ANY Russian government would make that move.
Just like the USA under Obama would protect Guantamo Bay, should the Cubans try to invade, or any of their foreign military bases.
The EU is nothing but a glorified gay parade trying to be the new nazis.
Fuck the world police.
Go Russia!
I think I saw a video of a drone dropping a grenade on him
