Wasn’t Russia expecting Ukraine to capitulate (basically, like what Armenia did against Azerbaijan)?
They only sent, what, 80000 troops on the initial drive to Kyiv?

Russia’s military budget in 2019 was $65 billion. It’s a waste of money that’s only practical because the US is literally swimming in taxpayer money (mostly because the US doesn’t invest in itself, but that’s another issue).
Macron was right, but being right is extremely expensive. Meanwhile, the EU’s dependence on F-35s for defence isn’t too great given the well-known issues with F-35 maintenance and the need for US private contractors in the maintenance loop.
lemmy.world is such a cesspool I don’t understand it
People have been far more concerned about the efficacy of the ALPS system at extracting other contaminants than they are about tritium contamination. The ALPS system is unproven and the wastewater they’re releasing would be pretty toxic as far as other radioactive isotopes is concerned if the ALPS system isn’t doing it’s job perfectly.
It’s not that different in price, though: the Aussie one is 5k, while this is 10k.
All Ukraine said is that Russia deployed 15000 men to Bakhmut and that Ukraine fighting in Bakhmut keeps them from being redeployed to the Zaporizhzhia front… Sensationalist titles, much?
Basically, military service for 16/17yos? I’m against it, but it’s honestly not that crazy given that Singapore, the US, and Germany allow military service at 17 with parental consent. Canada also allows people to join Military Colleges at 16. It’s unclear how parental consent will play into this in Russia.
Right…
So supporters of the US must be tankies too, right? Or is it the “authoritarian” part you’re angry about and not the “imperialist wankers who think using force against the people is the solution” part?
How so? Tesla had no product, basically no employees, and no money. There are other things to hate on Musk for, but is there any indication that he wasn’t involved in the company like a cofounder would be?
Sweden realized they couldn’t join NATO if they invited Chinese expertise to help build a nuclear power plant.
Read the source provided, maybe?
Oh wait. You don’t know how to.
Some dude linked it on scihub. It’s your own stubborn idiocy that prevents you from clicking it.
It’s fucking Science. Not my fault if you’re too uneducated to read a paper. But if you’re that uneducated, then I’m fairly convinced your argument doesn’t make sense in the first place 🤷♀️
I’ve told you multiple options for accessing Science… Y’know, one of the most prestigious journals in the world.
I’m really not sure what your confusion is. Do you not have access? I think it’s on scihub, but you can also probably access it at your local library.
It literally is.
Must have been.
I sent you the article, you just haven’t opened it.
Sure, but it ends up being extreme even for Reddit. There’s no discourse, it’s just everyone nodding along and agreeing.
