By now I think most agree that there's only reason to worry when Russia promises to not attack someone.

Prigozhin: Wagner Group will leave Bakhmut, Russian defense officials to blame | DW News https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRofbJxJgYU Pretty big. Unlike Putin and his nuke rattling, this man has been pretty consistent with what he says. From threatening to leave Bakhmut without enough ammunition, to...

I would say the important news is not what Biden has said, but what Putin has done: suspending the START Treaty. It is not a threat, but in this chess game there is always going to be a counter-move that you will not decide. Suspending start is suicidal. Nuclear proliferation is the definition of i...

Soledar by now seems to have fallen according to sources of varying backgrounds - including those biased in favor of Ukraine. By now I've given up arguing with people who still think Russia will end up getting anything out of any of this, for the same reason I never argued against my patients when I...

Kinda curious.. Russia has burned through competent manpower to push the invasion forward anywhere in Ukraine. Russia is now burning through their arsenal of ancient missiles with the sole purpose of making Ukrainian citizens miserable. Whoever is still pro-Russia despite this, how on earth do they ...

Siri, what is damage control? Siri: https://twitter.com/BBCWillVernon/status/1591001574259638272?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" Kremlin says Kherson's status as 'part of Russia' unchanged despite retreat MOSCOW, Nov 11 (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Friday that Russian forces' withdrawal from Kherson wo...

The irony is that within Russia, Putin is seen as a moderate. Whoever replaces him will probably make that terrifyingly clear to the West. The real irony is that the more Russia puts effort into becoming "terrifying to the West", the less it manages to do so. How long will they try to kee...

Certain Russian user has been awfully quiet lately... :) I'm not one for Schadenfreude but nonetheless interested in their input. Even at 4chan the Russians pretty much seem to acknowledge defeat by now, but despite their rampant nationalism, they strangely enough seem among the first to admit it. ...

It's telling that when I look up Russian propaganda, much of it seemed to move from denial to outright silence. I've been wondering about that lately. When Russia has been defeated, how will the media deal with it? Admitting it is out of the question, but at a certain point, so is lying about it. My...

I can't be the only one who finds it legit unfair that Google has a LaMDA babbling about, but the consumer is still stuck with Google Home being dumb as a rock.

that the goal of retribution will fizzle out of the justice system, The victims of violent crime and their families will resist this. I more or less addressed that here: I know I might want a criminal to suffer if they did something to my loved ones. However, I think a justice system shouldn't list...

I don't mean punishing the future, you silly. As a probation officer I'm curious about how others who are passionate about the future predict or hope crime and punishment will look like. My job working with detainees and inmates, requires me to keep my eyes on the greater good for society - sharply ...

2) Russia's Pyrrhic victory (Russia controls Crimea and Donbass but nothing else) I wouldn't really go so far as to consider it a pyrrhic victory - especially when I compare it to examples of pyrrhic victories in history books, where the victory meant having won something that's hardly worth anythi...

Crap.

There's not much to gain from using them, and the risk is high. What worries me is that the same can be said about the war itself, yet here we are. NATO saying that "Russia would be severely punished" if they'd use nukes isn't reassuring me either. It's not exactly clear what that punishm...

I mainly lurk these boards but the bits of Russia support in this particular thread was totally baffling. When it comes to accusations of propaganda, both sides could go endlessly. You could go on and on sharing anecdotes, staged or not, rumors or memes. However, what amazes me is that when someone ...

kids watch Oscars and may perceive this instance of violence as normalized behavior. Not gonna lie, I'm 35 and for the first time I thought "hm yeah, exactly why shouldn't he?". I was hit with a realization how "easily" people can bully another person. They can just just like th...
