Stephen cohen also mentioned the military doctrine of Russia and how irresponsible and provocative obamas comments were when the whole Ukraine conflict kicked off. Someone posted the following leaked cable here a while back from 2008 >

Well Cogent changed their statement and said that the reason they terminated their relationship with Russia is because of EU Regulation 2022/350 which is obviously b/s since they already started the termination before that [1]. Th

That's a weird way to phrase it. There have been quite a few cases of people suing the USA at the ICC and winning. It's more the fact that the USA doesn't give a rats ass about decisions at the ICC. But I'm under no illu

My mother had an energy bill that was 3x higher than before. This shit is funny when you're in the valley and you have 6000 in pocket money to burn on stuff, but in Europe that means some peoples monthly rental expenses doubled. It&#x2

Geez, you guys are really deep in your conspiracies aren't you? Trumps advisors were plenty warhawks themselves. Remember John Bolton and Pompeo? They wanted it torn up and there was no secret agenda of Russians involved. The way they

John Mearscheimer said the same in 2016[1]. Stephen Cohen apparently said the same. They don't need to "take" Ukraine. They just want it as a buffer zone. The Q/A at the end of John Mearscheimers talk is actually quite i

The US didn't just spend billions on maintenance, they've been improving them. And in 2019 under Trump they pulled out of the nuclear treaty with Russia[1] [1] https://edition.cnn.com/2019/08/02/poli

In Taiwan they required newborn infants to do 4 PCRs and 3 at home tests. These tests are administered in the mouth(Rapid Antigen tests are actually only rated for children above 2). It was infuriating to watch the absurdity and sheer insa

There's also a new Gas pipeline deal with China. Although when there is no other trading partner but China left, I bet China's conditions on the deal beats Germany's wildest dreams. The biggest winner out of this diplomacy me

NATO(but mostly france, UK and the US) bombed Libya so many times that NATO ran out and Germany had to restock them[1]. Germany is always "kind of" neutral. The US dropped 27k missiles on 7 countries in 2016 alone.[2] But that isn

Another estimate was a lot less based on the cost of previous operations. "Firstly, Russian ordnance is generally less sophisticated and cheaper than US kit. Secondly, Russian military vehicles do not use petroleum, but diesel – a fuel

I guess these numbers we see in the west are a matter of perspective eh [1]? Other estimates say it's a calculated low cost ($500M) war. Has the world gone insane? People in the west are cheering on war escalations as if it's some

I'd argue that most Asian companies don't. China has really stepped up their game there I would say. From what I heard a decade or so ago, they used to hire a lot of software people from the valley to get some of the culture estab

In the case of Iran all the sanctions have done, was further embolster the hardliners in government. And since there is no carrot left to give the hardliners also get to say that any act of moderation clearly didn't work. I'd say

Thinkpads for some reason are disproportionally cheaper in the US. A lot of countries in (south) east asia are a lot more expensive. Taiwans own electronics brands are cheaper in the US than they are in Taiwan.
