Ever since i've noticed it I can't stop laughing, women have straight pointing feet while men's point outwards. Also that tranny condoned democrat governors making care homes into corona death traps.
No need. Gacha is printing money like crazy (not only in Asia, but also in Europe and America). Gaming is all about abusing whales nowadays and selling DLCs.
I'm in awe that htey unironically believe that their army won't get buck broken in any meaningful land combat.

The counter-offensives of Kherson are possibly one of the few memes of this war that are going to be remembered after it's done except for Ghost of Kiev and 6 gorillion dead VDV outside of Kiev
newer games are more gameplay-oriented iirc the success of Genshin Impact has shown that you can have jpg collecting AND gameplay. Girls Frontline 2 is expected to be an Xcom clone

The European Commission has announced a list of requirements for Ukraine in order to get closer to EU membership. The main thing:
1. Strengthen the anti-corruption fight at the highest level by providing real results of investigations and appoint a new anti-corruption prosecutor.
2. Adopt a law enforcement reform plan and bring anti-money laundering legislation in line with Financial Action Group standards.
3. Limit the influence of the oligarchs on economic, political and social life, taking into account the recommendations of the Venice Commission.
4. Adopt a media law that will overcome the influence of private interests on information policy.
5. Complete the reform of the legislation on national minorities recommended by the Venice Commission.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stressed that the main goals for Ukraine on the way to the EU are to strengthen the fight against corruption and strengthen the rule of law.

Intel drop, had a lenghty conversation with a relative in Russia that has ties to the military. I wanted to share the summarized Q&A
>Situation in general on the front Very good. The deciding factor is artillery, of which RF has a superiority of around 1:10 on the ground, thats the worst case estimate. Ukies claim 1:15 or 1:20, but that might be an intended overestimation to give a sense of urgency to "western partners". On the ground means supplied and operational, so that means Russia has still a large reserve to escalate/replenish the artillery warfare. Tanks and Air play a role, but modern intel + AA and AT have made those weapon systems more risky and less effective. The focus is put on artillery to reduce casualties and equipment loss. >Future plans/offensives Systematically break ukraines resistance in the Donbass, then move to Kharkov/Odessa. Still unclear what high command intends. Most likely things are kept intentionally ambigious to allow diplomatic maneuvering in negotiations. >How long can Russia keep this up/escalation potential Indefinitely. Russian military industry is mostly independant from western imports and the huge stockpiles have barely been scratched. Units are rotated, injured are evacuated and treated, with every day the difference in firepower becomes more apparent. The military can conquer all of Ukraine given the time, but it depends if the political side is willing to go that far. (1/3)
I had dream this night. God himself spoke to me. Anonname - he said - your nation has been suffering for too long. You are my beloved children. You've been given the great opportunity to forge yourself. The very great enemy you're fighting. Extremely dark their minds are, impure their hearts are. They are not my creation. To defend the light you must endure it. Just like the sons of Moses.
Oliver Myers
Became a practical fashion item since the war started, it's so you can sit anywhere and still have some level of comfort. Both sides wore them, only reason you aren't seeing much of them is that the people wearing them have either died or been dwarfed by new people coming in.

Honest question. How do China and Russia manage to build things so quickly? Do building regulations exist, is it just kind of like live there at your own risk?
>So what about Russian losses The most losses were in the first phase of operations. Around ~3500 RF servicemen KIA when phase 2 was announced. Most of the RF POWs (~800, several hundred were already exchanged) came from the first phase. Now the only losses are from (almost always successful) probing attacks after shelling ukrainian positions and ambushed recon. Couldn't give an exact estimate on current losses because nobody he knew had access to the total KIAs, but losses were minimal in the units he knew in the last 2 months. Russian MOD is not hiding losses, they are notifying the families of the deceased. LNR/DNR losses are true to what they claim, except they hide their MIAs which are most likely dead or captured. How many these are is debateable, could be hundreds, or an additional thousand. >What about Ukraines losses Severe. A friend of his who serves in artillery estimates at least ~150 Ukrainians KIA just in his sector in a few days. He says they shell trenches and then the ukrainians just fill the trenches with new soldiers in a day. Human wave tactic. When it comes to "offensives" Ukraine sends a bunch of small infantry groups (epic NATO small squad doctrine) to penetrate the russian line and try disrupt logistics/artillery from the back. They have no armored vehicles, no heavy weapons/air/artillery support. These groups are easily detected and eliminated. He estimated ~35000 Ukrainians KIA at least. (2/3)
You know the saying >"for good job you need time for a shit one you need more"
Oliver Johnson
Of all things to give them, this won't do a fucking thing. They're not even bad guns but they're made for light and mobile work, they'll lose any arty duel you put them in nowadays. Brit gunners are able to use them well without a computer but hohols won't stand a fucking chance. We need these guns more than Ukraine does, I can practically guarantee these were former Royal Marine pieces.

it might not be 155mm but at least it shoots eh?

in china it is like living in a final destination movie. they build shit so dangerously it is insane. ive seen entire facades just fall off of buildings, ive seen the support beams just crumble upon contact. i have even seen the roads tear themselves open and swallow entire vehicles whole...
Matthew Nelson
China makes cardboard houses that get replaced every couple of years IIRC. We have years of practice building commie blocks.
If it has a priority of the government they'll build it fast, ordinary projects anywhere in Russia are different and usually take longer because of corruption and bureaucracy
Josiah Davis
A lot of building is delayed by having to wait for inspectors, here it's probably top priority because they want to do it fast, so inspectors are always on site ready to do their job. Probably they also pay the crews twice what they do elsewhere and work shifts instead of typical understaffed@10-12 hours a day which is long term unsustainable.

>What went wrong, why so slow, why no blitzkrieg In his opinion, this is simply a new generation of warfare. How do you fight a blitzkrieg with modern recon/information/ communication capabilities and with modetn pinpoint precise artillery? An important factor of germanys success in WW2 was simple lack of information on the side of the allies. The tank offensive in the Ardennes for example was largely sucessful because the allies didn't expect such a risky maneuver and noticed it too late to reinforce in that direction. Ukraine is a modern battlefield. Civilians can make a video of your passing recon/column and send it to authorities. If you take a village, one petson with a phone xan provide accurate, up to date recon of your troops passing/ holding the village. On the government side, drones and pre installed surveillance cameras are a big threat to moving columns/troops. Then you have foreign intel. And once your troops ar located and artillery is in range, it's over. It goes both ways however, russia benefits from this too due to satellites, dronesand collaborators (Also more artillery).This war is basically how a modern war looks like where both sides hsve accurate where the enemy attacks and both sides have artillery. The goal becomes to eliminate enemy artillery, then operate without worry that the enemy knows your movements. As to why it goes so slowly, he asked me by what metric? By territory? Yes. By destroyed enemy soldiers and equipment? Very fast. Why advance and lose thousands of men while the enemy fights for every inch, if you could instead grind his forces down with targeted strikes and small pushes and simply walk through the country once the military is broken? I disagree with him because I think this will depopulate Ukraine, but he thinks protecting own soldiers is mire important. (3/4, dumb 2000 limit)
I want to watch this video but with lack of red circles in the thumbnail (like in rest of their videos) I'm afraid I wouldn't understand what's happening in there.
It's interesting that Ukraine manages to capture several villages without major losses and without photo evidence. It's almost as if there is no major offensive.

>How do China and Russia manage to build things so quickly? Likely pre-made panels. The soviets managed to shit out a 5 storie khruschevka in 15 days. >Do building regulations exist Yes, but they are perhaps not as tight as western regulations
Friendly reminder China built entire cities that were entirely empty (obviously haphazardly) to inflate their gdp

Idk how Americans build their houses, but it's commonplace for buildings to achieve completion in a few months time here too.
Asher Flores

Ayden Jones
Afghanistan broke them.
Jack Gutierrez
Makes me think, does it include shells? Hundreds, thousands, millions of them? All of which cannot be produced in Ukraine as Ukrainian military industry (if it still exists after 30 years or so of purposeful mismanagement) is geared towards supplying ammunition to Soviet era weapon systems. Without ammunition those guns are just expensive metal paperweights or token effort made for propaganda purposes. I'm not an military expert by any means, but I have a strong suspicion both sides in the conflict are using up thousands of shells par day.

Actually old tradition among eastern tourists, those are sold in shops etc. As already mentioned you can sit down everywhere with it.

idk about russia but in china youre not technically at fault if something happens, you can just declare your company bankrupt and start a new one so yes they just throw shit up if it falls down, oh well start a new company
>USSR = Russia The Soviet war was against an insurgency backed by a rival superpower. America fought an insurgency backed by Pakistan and still lost after far more time and money.
Christopher King
There's a reason why they've only sent them a batch of 100 of these 155mm howitzers earlier even though there are older models of this caliber laying around all around NATO warehouses - the transport of shells was a bigger problem than the guns.
Andrew Jenkins
Forgot to link previous posts, sry. >What about Iraq, afghanistan What about it? Did those countries have a stable government/military? Did they have AWACS/Satellites/Modern day Internet and phones? These countries were cold war era warfare, not modetn. The difference is really the availability of information and this war shows its importance. >Was phase 1 a failure or a feint He said he could only speculate. He says phase 1 was a political failure, since it had political, not military goals. The plan was to show Ukraine that Russia was ready to use force and thus force Zelensky to accept demands. The hopes were that many units and regionsl politicians/oligarchs would desert to Russia and there were 100% some deals made in advance. This is why Russian media/military talked a lot about desertions and surrender in the first week and on the other hand ukraine has arrested/killed so many politicians and soldiers ("diversant")But the plan has gone bust. For example in the direction of Kiev local politicians promised to cooperate and then started raising teroborona behind russian lines. The forces had to retreat since their purpose failed and and offensive with so few and lightly equipped forces there would be costly and difficult to supply/organize.
That were the main points. I had to paraphrase heavily, but I think the points were clear. (4/4)
