If you really were from Spain, how would you not recognize those names? You look a lot like a troll to me, trying to fake that you’re from EU.
Not knowing such elementary information and then still being active in a group like this isn’t really credible.
Corbyn is English. Varoufakis is Greek.
Anybody in Europe knows about these two, but of course.people in Asia or Africa or America might not, and OP forgot about that.
What is it that their understanding is lacking?
Do you have to somehow enable them? There is a common standard for paying directly from your online bank here in Finland, but Steam doesn’t seem to support it.
Why should he get?
Yes, but that’s irrelevant here. This guy was not a POW.
Kysymykseen “mikä tämän taustalla on”:
Tämän taustalla on se, että yksittäinen suomalainen yksityishenkilö on päättänyt pistää omalla ajallaan ja omalla rahallaan pystyyn Lemmy-palvelimen. Kaipa saa siihen jonkin verran lahjoituksia avuksi, mutta pohjimmiltaan tämän takana on se, että yksi tavallinen talliainen on halunnut Suomessa olevan tällaisen lemmy-instanssin. Joitain toisia Lemmyn instansseja pitävät yllä esim. järjestöt, jne.
Jokaisella lemmy-instanssin perustajalla on siihen oma syynsä.
Joka tapauksessa, tämän voin ja tahdon sanoa Sopulin olemassaolosta:
Arvostan! 🐳
The drone attacks make Ukrainians very afraid of the Russia they know that if they don’t win, they will soon end up living in the Russia. In a country that is that scary.
The Shaheds are scary but not as scary as the torture the Russia is doing to Ukrainians in areas it has occupied.
The Shaheds are a constant reminder of why Ukrainains need to do everything possible to stay away from the Russia.
They bombed their own food? Why?
I would never bomb my own pantry.
I had never heard of CoMaps before. Is it another fork of the Kremlin-controlled Maps.ME without Russian spy code? Or something else?
Is there a specific reason it needs an alternative, or is it just good to have an alternative for everything in case that something about a program is not okay for some user?
There is overwhelming evidence that this didn’t happen in the Jurassic era: Stegosaurs had been extinct for tens of millions of years at that point.
The theropods (“possibly”) electrocuted contemporary dinosaurs, not dinosaurs that had gone extinct 100 million years earlier.
A Russian propaganda win is a win the sense that it enables Moscow to start a new war in a near future. If the Russia can make the 300 000 lost human lives look justified to its own population, it is able to make a micro-invasion into a NATO. In such a scenario, it takes the city of Narva and stops, hoping that at least Germany will refuse to help Estonia regain the city, thus functionally ending NATO. Even if Germany will turn out to help Estonia after all, the terror the people of Narva will have to endure in such a scenario will be horrible, and it also means there is a war between nuclear powers, which is a thing I’d like to avoid. And of course: Refusing to defend Estonia would not avoid the war, but helping Ukraine block the Russia from getting a propaganda victory does.
The Russia must be prevented from getting a propaganda win, because if it does, there will be a war in EU.
The personnel number is a bit under what one would hope, as it means a (very) slight replenishment in the Russia’s manpower. They are recruiting in the ballpark 1300 soldiers per day, so this means the Russia’s army grew by a couple hundred soldiers today. Of course, 1100 lost is 1100 lost, and that means about 300 dead plus about 800 who tell their friends and family that the situation is absolutely not as told in television.
The number of destroyed artillery systems is very good. This exceeds the Russia’s production capability by quite a bit. 110 “vehicles and fuel tanks”… I’ve lost track of what that number means these days… Does it include Ladas and motorbikes? Or only cargo equipment and such? 3 tanks in a day is nice, because that’s more than the Russia is producing. My understanding is that they are producing a tank once per day or two days. Or?
“Creeping forward” would be more acceptable, but still a gross misrepresentation of reality.
The 0.7 % of “advancing” changes nothing regarding the outcome of the war in comparison to complete stability. Also, in World War I the front was not 100 % stable either. There was advancing taking place all the time, but our history books write of it as a stagnant front, because it was indeed functionally stagnant, just like the front in this war has been since mid-2022.
The problem is, a lot of people assume that “creeping forward” means something like 5 % of Ukraine’s territory per year, and that misunderstanding affects their willingness to support Ukraine. If they knew that the Russia has not advanced meaningfully in the last three years, their view of the situation would be dramatically different.
I’d say 5 % is a good trigger number. Maybe even 2 %. Though, it would still take them decades to take over all of Ukraine even if they were to advance at a pace of 2% per year.
For losing my home, it is not relevant if that’s because of the Russia advancing or not. It could be retreating at a speed of 5% of Ukraine’s total territory per year, but if it manages to take over my village, I’ve got a bad situation all the same.
The “advancing” is a very bad phrase because it makes Ukraine’s situation look hopeless to many. “The Russia has been creeping forward” is a very different story from “The frontline has been largely stagnant since summer 2022.”
A significant fraction of people in many countries in the west are against helping Ukraine because they think Ukraine will not be able to regain the occupied territories anyway. They wouldn’t think that way if the news were talking about a stagnant frontline as is the reality instead of talking about the Russia “creeping forward” or even “advancing”. For the outcome of the war the 0.7 % advance in year 2024 had no significance over a completely stagnant frontline. A good question is: How much did the front line move during the “stagnant” phase of World War I? We could very well write in our history books that either Germany or France was creeping forward, but somehow we are writing that the frontline was stagnant, even though advances of several tens or even hundreds of metres took place more or less often.
During the last 12 months the Russia has “advanced” so much that it controls about 0.3 % more of Ukraine’s territory than it did those 12 monrhs ago. That’s less than one third of a percent.
During the whole calendar year 2024 the Russia managed to conquer 0.7 % of Ukraine’s total area.
0.7 % is not “advancing”. The Russia is not advancing and hasn’t advanced since spring 2022.
Why do reporters keep writing that the Russia is advancing when it factually doesn’t?
It’s not a very strong position, true. But Ukraine is nowhere near losing the war. And unless the Russia somehow manages to get big time external help, its economy will eventually crash. It will get very difficult for it to continue its war efforts after that.
Denmark and Finland and Netherlands definitely are not doing this in order to gain political control or economic concessions. They are doing this to keep war away from EU. Your claim that they do it just to exploit Ukraine is absolutely ludicrous. As is the claim that instead of stopping a war that threatens us, we’d somehow “choose Israel in a heartbeat”. Where did you get this idea?
(Also, how are Finns “imperial stooges”?)
