NATO can beat Russia, but because Russia can hurt NATO feelings with nuclear strike NATO choose to sit on their asses and leave Ukraine to fight.

Since when Ukraine has petrochemicals to sell in amounts that could cause problems to Russia? Ukraine was just somewhat unreliable transport route for Russian oil/gas and even that was solved with NS1&2.

Yeah, it's fascinating. Also it's not true. Some people that worked at Nortel at that time already spoke on HN what happened - hint: it was internal Nortel's issues. Something similar happened to Nokia, better products appear

Last time I was using their Windows app it felt non-native in a bad way (some 7-8 years ago). Also, I managed to lose note content in their iPhone app just by opening note which contained large image. Image simply disappeared nowhere to be

Why stop there? Maybe Martians blew it as now humans are pointing fingers at each other which is a pretty useful strategic result.

That has been debunked on a HN a few times already.

That's perfectly normal - people felt that way (cried) when Kim Il-sung died, for some reason some people tend to worship their rulers.

Yeah, but it will install older version. About a year ago they stopped publishing macOS binaries although you can still download nightly macOS builds but they won't cut official releases as they used to. Developer's explanation:

It's not just drones - US leveled cities too, like Raqqa, or started wars based on fabricated evidence that killed more people than current war in Ukraine. p.s. exposing hypocrisy isn't whataboutism.

That doesn't work the way you think it works. Even Israel, with limited territory that it wants to protect isn't successful in 100% of times. Currently air defense of all military powerful countries is able to defend against limit

Guilty as charged ;) But still beter than being on a deathbed thinking: "Spending time on internet telling people I know nothing about what they should do was totally worth it".

NATO supplied them with Stingers which can be used only against low level flying airplanes. What keeps Russians from gaining air supremacy are numerous S-300 and Buk batteries that make flying Su-25 or Su-34 outside of Stinger range very da

Yeah, Russians are responsible for bad things, real and invented. But if something good was done then it was done by Soviets.

Coming from the guys who announced that they shot down two Il-76 and that all soldiers on that island got killed? Must be true.

They have low production capacity but so far they expended small part of their stock of cruice/balistic missiles. Also, they are flying low because they weren't able to destroy Ukrainian air defense so flying high is still quite d

When you already mentioned false pretexes - how's going on with finding WMD in Iraq? Any seccess yet? Is shooting at neighbor worse than shooting at people half over the world (or they don't count because of wrong skin color)?

Russia formally gave up of Minsk II agreement (which no one implemented in the first place but at least was something that could be discussed about). So it's basically this is just another step in the escalation, maybe the last one (ma

And the best part is that they know exactly what videos were deleted and they'll never 'forget' it yet they won't show it to you. Drives me nuts too.
