Not that I want to play anything associated with Azov, not even out of curiosity…
You will explore sites of Azov’s failure and humiliation. A game where you are bound to lose, unless they turn you into some kind of a Rambo that kills Russian orcs by the hundreds.
Oh shit it is that…
Orc Hunters, you can’t be serious…
The bearded goober above says he was held up in Mariupol behind enemy lines, among unwelcoming populace, subsisted on a diet of dogs and pigeons. This would be a good video game. Survival, escape New Mordor, surrounded by Vatniks, betrayed, smelling like shit, hungry…
Trump is trying to gaslight Putin into suing for peace…
Semyon Skrepetsky
Trump is threatening the most sanctioned country with new sanctions.
Trump thinks the Russian economy would suffer so much if the oil dropped in price. That could be true but since the new prime minister, Mishustin, Russia became much more effective at filling its budget through taxes rather than oil incomes.
Murica is pushing for the war to end and this is commendable but Russia is on the march, there is no indication they should accept a settlement. They should not accept anything but a full, unconditional, capitulation from the Zelensky regime, and a peace treaty should be signed with a government that comes out of elections.
Putin says that if Trumps 2020 reelection wasn’t stolen, the war would not have started. In the recent elections he endorsed Kamala. 😆
Protsevych is the founder of NEXTA, and was arrested after Belarusian Air Force forcibly brought down a Ryan Air flight. He served in Azov and fought in Donbas.
Some more impressions of Belarus:
2020 protests in Belarus were mercilessly crushed. For some reason, in the years prior, Lukashenko allowed Western funds to function in the country. I heard Russian security forces had to bail his regime out of trouble afterwards.
There has never been any Czechia, not even as a city state, nobody wrote cringe like this…
The Philippines!?, which was under the rule of Spain, then Japan, then the USA and only in 1946 became finally independent – found a place in Civilization 7. However, Ukraine still does not… because the developers are still obsessed with the mysterious Russian soul.
A rap song by two Russian teenage girls that go by the names Betsy and Maria Yankovskaya. The song lyrics go like this:
“Sigma sigma boy, every girl wants to dance with you. I will be such that you will have to try to get with me for a year.”
This song became the tune of brain rot content on social media. Guys would blast it in public from speakers in videos. And it has gone viral outside Russia in many countries.
Sigma male has made an appearance on YouTube several years ago. Basically, the old school MGTOW (men going their own way) content was demonetized. Manosphere grifters came up with this new concept of sigma male, who is not an alpha male, who gets all the bitches, and nor is he a submissive beta. Sigma cannot be censored because it is a Greek letter, and thus is sticking the finger to algorithms and the feminists that got MGTOW demonetized.
This is post that will sum up my post disparaging electric vehicles…
Personally, I would not even be so anal about electric vehicles if the EU did not want to ban combustion engine by 2035, and there wasn’t a sense of hopelessness that we cannot do anything about it. Politicians cannot be trusted, and those that can don’t have enough support. It is fucked up, and hopefully forces that want to keep the combustion engine for the people to exploit will win in the end.
EVs are an evolutionary dead end. Tesla looks high tech, and those Chinese EVs seem to be quite neat but combustion engine is still superior. Batteries make trucks heavy, I am sorry but they need to have a diesel engine. I am all for hybrids, they seem to make consumption of diesel fuel more efficient, and I am for diesel fuel made from sources other than oil. I wonder how much diesel a society can generate from cooking oil, and other biological material? Imagine households could sell this shit to diesel refineries powered by nuclear reactors. I could even have a bio-reactor to make basic materials in my garden.
Rudolf Diesel gave humanity the diesel engine, Richarda Lang will take it away…
EVs don’t like very low or very high temperatures. They are simply shit cars. We need good reliable gear on not some ideologically propped garbage.
Solar panels don’t interest me, we don’t even have a sun in this part of the world. I give some chances to geothermal and I am totally bullish on nuclear. We need those nuclear reactors built ASAP. Windmills need to be discarded and anyone building them shamed.
The linked article is by Colin Gajewski, who says Russian economy is so bad that it will inevitably force Russia’s withdrawal from Ukraine. Ukraine needs to suffer a little more, and Putler will break. This oracle is fresh, we will see who breaks first, the Russian economy or the Ukrainian defense line.
Czech normies normally flip out at this suggestion. This is a very unpopular opinion here in Czechia but I will voice it anyway…
NATO is going to cost us. Donald Trump wants an alliance. He does not want America to be our daddy. He wants defense partners that would spend on defense like Murica does. Presumably buying American weapons systems, and making America rich. Trump wants 5% of GDP to be spent on defense. The Czech minister for European affairs…
We have a minister for European Affairs
…says we can increase defense spending by increasing taxes. And my friends, I don’t want parasites like this minister to be advocating for bigger taxes. I want lower taxes, and a thinner state. No useless ministers, and no large military budgets.
If you look at neighboring countries like Austria, or Switzerland (Switzerland is like 5 hour drive from here), both of which are not in NATO, have very low defense budgets. Austria 0.84%, and Switzerland 0.70%. Somehow they don’t need NATO for defense, even the recent invasion of Ukraine didn’t make them join, unlike Scandinavia. For some reason they are not afraid of Putin.
More NATO spending will mean less money for healthcare and education. There is no free college or healthcare in the US. While I am on of those that thinks this sector ought to be more privatized but there needs to some government involvement as this is imperative for maintaining high level of human capital needed for development.
Supporters of NATO are telling us that if we get out of there, we will need to spend more on defense. Like 26% of GDP as did Czechoslovakia in the interwar period. But Czechoslovakia was literally surrounded on all sides by hostile states with territorial pretensions. Czechia doesn’t have this problem. So we either have a choice, be a worthy ally to Murica or decide our own defense policy.
