Africa: Cameroon and 2 other countries?
Seen several occurrences of Somalians fighting for the Russia.
In year 2000 Ukraine knew there will never be a war in Ukraine. In 2013 it still knew the same.
In 2013 Ukraine knew perfectly well that Poland will never attack it. Nor Hungary or Slovakia or Romania. And the most ridiculous thought was that Moldova would attack. Heh.
In 2013 Ukraine knew that if it was ever attacked by the aforementioned countries, the Russia would come for help.
In 2013 Ukrainians knew that the Russia has a powerful army.
Because they knew this, their army was a joke. They had tanks, but everything inside the tanks was stolen and sold on black market. "Military training" consisted of building huge "summer cottages" for the highest ranking officers. This made sense because there was no war to be seen. The only war there would ever be would be some Russian expeditional war, and the worse Ukrainian soldiers perform, the less likely they are to ever be sent to one of them. It became a virtue for the army to be bad.
There was no need to prepare for a war, therefore they didn't.
And then the Russia attacked Ukraine in 2014. It could do that because there was nobody to oppose it (except far-right extremists funded by the Russia itself, which is otherwise a hilarious turn of events, but made less comfortable by the fact that far-right extremists are a very bad thing in the long run)
But yeah. It's good that Sweden has now decided not to be Ukraine of 2013, after all.
I don't think he does thinking as complex as you describe.
I actually can.
The thing is, Vance is the same but without being a complete fecking moron. And if Trump dies, Vance will be POTUS. The same will continue, but in a way that is consequent. And horrible for the west.
Heroiam slava 💪
I wonder why he says that?
The Kursk operation made a huge difference in the Russia's diplomatic position.
Without that, they could have done "an act of goodwill" and "agree to" a ceasefire with the front line as a de facto international border, then gather their strength for a year or two and attack Ukraine for good.
This would have enabled Trump to drive home a "peace" in under 100 days, at least if he had gotten Germany and France to join the plan. And there was a high likelihood that they would have done that, "in the name of peace."
They couldn't do that when part of the front was inside the territory of the Russian Federation.
I always understood the Kursk operation as the most crucial part of Ukraine's front because it tied Putin's hands diplomatically, making it impossible for the Russia to convince the west to stop arming Ukraine claiming that would be "in the name of peace".
Now Trump has been president long enough that the momentum of "I'll get them to make peace within 100 days or at least only a bit more" is gone, it's not so important to have pieces of the Russia under Ukrainian rule.
Although, there's also a secondary reason why that territory was good to have:
While the Russia did use its inhumane tactics of obliterating people's homes even in Sudža, the intensity of that tactic was very visibly lesser than in Ukrainian villages. That meant, the Russia had to expend more soldiers in the fight than they would have expended in Ukraine. And then, when they do obliterate parts of a village, it's a thousand times better that it's a village in the Russia, not an Ukrainian village. They do that obliteration with all available resources and all resources spent for obliterating homes in the Russia are away from doing the same to Ukrainian homes.
I believe Zalužnyj has political reasons for saying it cost too much.
I had to google the Dead Sea Effect: it means that when a workplace has a bad culture, the most skilled and ambitious workers are first to leave and those who have a habit to do the minimum will remain.
Anyway, I'd say this effect is weaker in this situation, because many workers are there truly to serve their country, not merely as "generic workers". They might feel that they have something important to contribute to the society, which means there's an actual chance for even some of the best to return.
A container container container? Obviously, the planet Earth is a container for the oceans.
Or, to be more specific, a container container.
(Yeah. Just let the buffalo buffalo. Whatever.)
Na gut, das stimmt :)
Habe tatsächlich übersehen, dass es noch ein Kommentarniveau weiter nach oben geht!
