If Ukraine is able to replace or recover damaged vehicles why is Zelensky still asking for more tanks (in Switzerland right now)? I thought the sanctions were going to trigger massive inflation and unrest in the Russian economy and their desire to support the war would disappear. I thought the Russians were out of ammunition last year and now they’re bombing relentlessly. I though their morale was so low they were going to capitulate when this attack happened, yet their first main line of defensive trenches hasn’t yet been touched. If Ukraine morale is high and Russian morale is low why are Ukrainians surrendering or refusing to fight on the front lines?

Austin told us all that he had high expectations for the counter-offensive two days before the Pentagon leaks revealed there were actually low expectations. Why believe the boy who already cried wolf, especially when his words don’t align with reality? There’s been too much lying. The war is costing too much in terms of tax payer dollars and Ukrainian lives. This Biden administration is stuck is a sunk cost fallacy and needs to stop.

      I had hoped it would take a while for the copium huffing ruskies to arrive on this site, looks like they’re already here.

        Your account was made 12 days ago. The original instances of this site were ostensibly left-leaning to the point you’d call them “copium huffing ruskies”. The people you are probably having issues with have been here years. You’re coming into an existing space and attempting to commandeer it.

            Well, Yes but not here. The fediverse doesn’t have to follow the same domain extension standards people are used to with websites hosted on centralized servers in various countries. Spin up an instance of your own and you can choose whatever extension you want and they chose one as shorthand for Marxist-Leninist. They’re not shy about it, Dessalines even has essays on communism hosted on their github.

              Oh, I see. Thanks, I didn’t make the connection between ml and Marxist-Leninism. Although I was aware that sometimes domains aren’t used for their original purpose like .to, .io or .me who normally aren’t used for Tonga, British Indian Territories or Montenegro respectively.

                No, you were actually correct before. They just chose .ml cause it’s free
