Ha, who thinks the us gets to have allies anymore? Best they can do is temporary business partner, and then maybe future “nasty” people.

It is a good thing they are so fucking stupid.

Its way to “new” and shiny for this not to be some sort of show off first run of someones “great” idea.

My guess is that russia will do the work for them on that one. But who knows, in this day and age I would not be shocked if Nepal just started taking russian land. Ukraine has shown they can get drones far far away, wonder if they set any records so far?

The next 57% should be fun, likely easier as well.

At this point Mongolia could likely take a chunk of russia without them being able to stop them. It would be funny to see the return of the golden horde.

Almost any business can set up a fleet card, its not just big players. But the big companies tend to be the main users.

This is just a way to ration but not call it that. And knowing russians they are going to cheat the everliving fuck out of this.

They saddly still have an army, now an equipped army? That is a different question.

My guess is those are fleet cards, and yes if they limit sales without them it is rationing. Fleet cards world wide are normally for companies and it makes sense they would do rationing this way as their economy is already fucked enough (for them, I am down for more fucking) and this is the “softest” way to do a rationing without saying they are doing it.

You shutting off is quite literally “putting your head in the sand”, but the thing is that is fine for things like a vacation or retreat. Here the idea is that you would control your head in the sand state continuously, effectively siloing your news to only things you want (unhealthy and dangerous) and making a lot of extra work (more stress) for you just to be less informed.

We are talking about bad news in general. Nothing about this implys bad news world wide that does not effect a person but just bad news in general. So yes the alarm analogy still holds. This whole thing is just saying maybe putting ones head in the sand is better for your mental health, a statement that should be right from a dystopian sci fi novel.

Living the lie, by choice no less.

The cognitive dissonance on display in this article is crazy. The idea that anyone should be concerned by the mental damaged caused by endless bad news before the impact of life in a world of bad news is just about the same as turning off smoke detectors in a fire to limit the stress they cause constantly going off (sorry I guess here it would be like asking people to build “healthier habits” about when they hear the alarm).

I just don’t know if they have to make the effort. The area is not sustainable without that bridge, but you might be right. It would be a massive PR win for Ukraine.

Eh they likely don’t need to. Just retake other land and let them go thirsty in Crimea for now.

At least they are consistent. They got that going for them, well that and pyrrhic victories. Really should just change Pyrrhic victories to russian victories as that is all they have known.

Its on video. You can watch it miss and the depo explode.

I wonder if anyone there has figured out that inflating these numbers makes them look worse?

It is not an easy sell to your people that you are not losing a war where this long in the war where you are the aggressor Ukraine has so many munitions to spend. Like whats the upside of those numbers?

I really liked her question about “how can they bomb here?”.

Really seemed to put a nice bow on the strike.

Oh look, its the consequences of your nation’s actions. No one could have predicted this was a possibility when attacking another nation…
