Nie wieder? Hah. Doch. "Nie wieder" ist so gestern!
That's about what Merz's words mean, in practical sense.
What an idiotic continent we have here. Damn.
I believe it can. I've seen enough geolocation posts where people have managed to pinpoint something surprisingly accurately based on similar data. The direction where the flame shoots directly upwards shows a lot.
But yeah, since the gepard is easy to move around, probably no real harm done. Just want to remind people to care about OPSEC :)
Huh? Why not?
Yes, we do.
Könntest du bitte erklären, was du damit meinst?
Why just 400 kV?
At least Ukraine has several 750 kV power lines. Decreases the energy loss quite a bit!
That must be an awesome feeling!
Though: it's a pity the gepard's location can now be approximated from the video. But whatever, just drive ut a couple of blocks in some direction :)
By 20th Sept 2026 the Russia will have lost the war it is waging, or at least it is clear to all sides that the final end of the war will in approximately half a year. USA and China can still change this, but I don't think they will.
So, seeing the phrase "I'm loving it" did not 8n any manner put a thought of "hamburger" in your head?
Basically, the end game is based on Putin being increasingly thoroughly out of the loop.
Remember that his only sources of information are his aides and Russian television. (Not completely sure if he watches western TV as well, but I very strongly guess he doesn't)
The aides get fired if they bring news contradicting what they have told earlier. And earlier everyone who brought bad news was sacked, so every aide has been lying to Putin on everything.
So, the end game Putin is striving for is that both Ukraine and the west grow so horrified of the degradation of civilians' lives in Ukraine that they force Ukraine into what is essentially a surrender.
And then the plan B... That's awesome in its beauty: The few tens of thousands of Afghan war veterans returning to USSR caused a havoc. Back then USSR had twice the population compared to the Russia of today. And also, now the amount of soldiers that will return is 700 000. Per capita that makes closer to a 50-fold difference in the scale.
While at the same time the federal coffers are empty.
The carnage in the Russia after the veterans of this war have returned will be something previously unseen even in the Russia. While the war is making Russians' lives worse, nothing compares to how they will be once their own soldiers return home. So, just pushing an inevitable defeat a day further into future means one day more life before the carnage begins.
It's like, you know you're in for a very painful and slow death. Even if you know it's going to come, every minute you can prolong its arrival is worth a fight.
Religion != Ethnicity is only partially true in this case, though: The Jewish religion puts quite an effort to viewing all Jews as a singular nation and ethnicity.
But the main sentiment still holds: It is not acceptable to hate Jews in general for the state of Israel committing a genocide.
