No, the things happening in Ukraine are on completely different level. Iraq and Afghanistan were mistakes but not targeted to civilians.

Fantastic read. Ukrainians showed a lot of bravery and resistance. Once could be luck but doing it twice shows that they are really strong.

I would not. It just prevents me in achieving my objectives.

What I am surprised is marodierism. It is well known that Ukraine is economically much poorer than Russia. Why would Russian troops be so interested in collecting old washing machines and computers from Ukrainian flats and make all the effo

Most experts underestimated Ukrainian willingness for resistance and Russian unwillingness to fight people who speak the same language, have the same religion etc. Just when the war started, many western politicians said it is much better t

Losing the war sucks. It really sucks but that's how the character is tested. We all have failed at least once in our lives. Maybe it was the job one didn't get or maybe you had a bitter divorce court case for visitation rights of

What do you expect him to say? He is in Russia. If he says something against the war in Ukraine, he is being arrested because it is illegal in Russia to be against the war, you are not allowed even to call it a war. If he is arrested, in th

Disinformation should be downrated. If I use a search engine, I should be able to find reliable information, not something that is artificially and falsely promoted. But I also need to be able to find it in case I want to do research, learn

How many Cubans would have supported it today? Cubans today are totally unhappy with their socialistic government. They would have definitely be better off if their government had fallen. On the other hand, democracy cannot be established b

It is true but it is so unbelievable and surreal. How can it be? I have friends in Russia and now I read their posts on vk.com and so many of them are pro-war completely believe Putin's narrative. It is so sad.

Short answer: because Putin hates independent Ukraine that is slipping away for Russian. Long explanation: https://acoup.blog/2022/02/25/miscellanea-understanding-the-...

I totally understand. That is two weeks of discomfort but not medically dangerous to your life. Whereas high blood pressure especially for people who already have elevated blood pressure and don't know it, can damaged your heart with l

This. Derek has missed that spray is rather effective. Also other agents, such as oxymetazoline is used. They all have a rebound effect, so their use should be limited to 7 days at most. Also, this is mostly for comfort. There is no really

I agree. The reasons for this war are Putin's ideas of Russian supremacy which is not that different from racism. We don't try to understand racists and give them way out. Not only it doesn't work but it is the same as approv

These things are irrelevant now and can be solved later when we are in real war.
168.
by NoPie 5y ago
It is completely irrelevant because this time we have a real war when it is ok to break normal rules. We can argue about all this when the war ends. Now it is important to see that people don't get mislead with false propaganda.

by NoPie 5y ago
Clearly this is a targeted pro-Russia propaganda.

by NoPie 5y ago
Good to hear that the public opinion is changing. It strengthens the case that it is important to provide proper information more than ever.
171.
by NoPie 5y ago
Of course, when you have a law that forbids saying it is a war in Ukraine, you have to take everything people say with a grain of salt. But it is still quite unequivocal that most people support Putin even if it is due to their lack of info

There are many polls evidencing this. Also by personal contacts with Russians.

They don't work but in this case it may have some effect. Cubans moan about US embargo and how unfair it is to them and how it only makes their lives harder while the elite doesn't care. And yet most Cubans clearly know that it is

No, this seems wishful thinking. Russia's GDP is only 4% of EU's GDP. The sanctions will be felt all around the world but not as severely as in Russia.

They are pulling out because Russian economy is going to crash and people will no longer be able to buy the products from these companies anyway. It is just not profitable for them anymore and if you can get some points for showing how soci

Give it time. The voted to support UN condemnation of the war, i.e., against Russia. It is clear that at the end they will chose the EU instead of Russia.

We should ban all cars on streets because it is not safe? Or alternatively ban all bio research including vaccine development because potentially they can be used as weapons?

by NoPie 5y ago
Some are. But this is just another case of memetic warfare – weaponizing memes. :)

by NoPie 5y ago
By this logic every car is a weapon.

Very strange thing. Therefore it is most likely Russian false-flag similar to one in Belarus to frame Ukraine on both fronts. The confusion about the place name is most likely intentional to play innocence if caught. I don't think that
