The number of soldiers sent this time was estimated by the South Korean intelligence service to be between 1000 and 3000 soldiers. It doesn’t make a dent to DPRK’s military, and it also doesn’t affect the war against humanity very much, because the Russia loses that many soldiers per day or two.

I don’t think this one was dementia. Qt least not primarily. He’s used to gaslighting in his personal life, and here he’s simply gaslighting the whole world on television. If there’s some dementia to this, then that is not to understand that you cannot gaslight a million people at once, because the point of gaslighting is to make its victim think they are going crazy and imagining things.

Though… Can it be that for the MAGA audience this gaslighting does work and they really will believe Trump has never called Zelenskyj a dictator?

In Ukrainian cats (кіт / kit) and whales (кит / kyt) are the same thing, if you ask my ears. As are being hungry (голодний / holodnyj) and cold (холодний / kholodnyj).

I can never know if their whale is hungry or if their cat feels cold.

Regarding difference in vowel length… Use a machine translator of your choice and translate these two phrases from Finnish to your mother tongue:

• Tapaan sinut.
• Tapan sinut.

Safe travels!

From a farmer who had a donkey? Those are animals that exist. I don’t really know why people have donkeys, but for a reason or another, they do. And are able to sell them.

Maybe someone has them just as a hobby, like other people have horses? Not a common thing, that’s for sure, but a phenomenon that can exist.

Also, you can see the donkey on the video, so I’d say it does exist.

This looks like an exercise you’ll be doing for the rest of your life. Jump left, jump front, jump right, dive down. Until the end of your days about 25 seconds later.

But, maybe it helps the soldiers feel safe, so they are less likely to revolt before it’s too late?

I use Signal because my workplace decided to default to it.

This is actually very important news that is contrary to what I have thought! The Russia mostly is not able to give prostethic legs to its wounded soldiers, Ukraine is. That changes the military loss ratios dramatically!

The ratio of total military losses between Ukraine and the Russia has been around 1:2½, while the ratio between populations is 1:3½. However, the ratio between dead is 1:4½. Anything where the ratio is smaller than the population ratio is favouring Ukraine. Now, if a sizable amount of the non-dead military losses in Ukraine are able to return to duty, then a large share of those are not military losses at all! That would mean that even in the number of military losses including the wounded Ukraine is doing better than the Russia. What share of the “irrecoverable” wounds are losses of limbs? Does anyone know?

You mean, such an army is not realistically going to come to existence? Giving visibility to the idea is a way to slowly increase the likelihood of it someday becoming reality.

This one has optical guidance, so it can work without a radar. Still, the most important AD targets are radards. The Russia has hundreds and hundreds of AD launchers, but only couple tens of radars, apparently. Destroy the radar, and the launchers’ usefulness is mostly lost. Still a nice hit. It probably had a crew that more or less knew its job and is now hopefully non-alive.

What a crazy situation we are in! It looks like we’ll get out of this reasonably fine, but there is still a risk that Ukraine will be pressured by the west into a peace deal where they don’t get Crimea back. (Donetsk and Luhansk… I don’t think they care much for those) If Ukraine doesn’t get Crimea back, I don’t understand why the Russia would not attack Ukraine again in a couple of years.

Trudeau probably won’t affect Trump directly, but knowing about his call affects other western leaders. And the US populace as well.

Well, anything can be done. If all NATO member countries want to let Ukraine in, they can do so.

But of course, Hungary is a NATO country. So, no way really.

Most of politicians at least here in Europe have not started with a lot of money. You first start in communal politics, then when you’ve shown your skills in that, your party gives you more visibility among the general public. And then you might get to the national parliament, and if you’re doing your job well there, you might end up in a position where you become interesting for voting in as a MEP. Or as the president of your country.

You cannot get into the national parliament out of nowhere, but I don’t really know why you should. It’s a very tough job, and it’s good that you’ve first had to gather some experience from communal politics before that.

Though, this is of course only how it works with leftist and centrist parties. In the right wing parties the system is apparently somewhat different. But that’s one of the reasons I wouldn’t vote them anyway.

At what age?

Depends on what’s meant here with “GTA”. GTA 1 was not really that bad. There’s shooting, which is not cool, but it’s not very graphic.

Then there’s GTA2 where you collect people from the street and turn them into kebab meat with a lot of screaming. And, starting from GTA3, the games start getting seriously.bad fir children.

But, the meme might mean GTA1 or GTA2.

This, of course, doesn’t mean that GTA is good for kids. It just means that something else is even worse.

To my knowledge, there have been no plans that this decision would cover. The only talk there has been about sending foreign troops to Ukraine would be as a peacekeeping force, and that would be organized in a way explicitly allowed by this decision.

This decision was probably made to cater to some Bulgarian domestic discourse, right? Anybody got any idea which one?
