Well duh.

I dont mean this as a disparagement of zelenski, but cmon man. the people that knew this fact dont need your confirmation. We know. And the people that dont know this will never trust you nor hear your voice. Their mind was already made up. Their personal echo chamber and cycle of disinformation wont let them ever see it.

Hopefully the nas ive got holds up for a long time…

I guess im confused at the worry about raid…

The point of raid is speed, but also redundancy. And the odds of 2 drives out of 3 failing at the exact same time is super small…

Synologies raid aray can be set up so that if one drive fails, you can replace it with a new drive and carry on. The array is shared in a way that one bad drive doesnt break the entire system. Sure, your 30tb is functionally less, but your data is safe outside of flooding or a house fire. Thats how i understood it.

maybe im wrong. Idk.

Have you seen how long it takes someone to get through death row? If convicted, he will sit for 20 years. Far far beyond the current political discourse.

If he gets convicted, that will be a stink for a while. But by the time they kill him, he will be a distant memory.

Martyrs die when the timing is optimal. If it isnt the right time, they are just a name on a gravestone. And we have plenty of those.

Rest in peace you poor bastards. Forced to fight a rich mans war… for nothing.

Once again. If this is what we know… what on earth is happening that we dont know about?

The thing about incompetence is that, if one fuck up was this bad because the right person found out. How many times has it been brushed aside by someone without the means?

Its always going to be worse than you could ever dream of. We are still so early into 4 years its terrifying.

As a side point. This is also proof that the moon landing is real and the earth is round. But functioning brains already knew that…

I mean im an adult that can contextualize the geopolitical reasononing behind why this is a bad deal without relying on heavy handed amerocentric hypotheticals.

To be clear, I never disagreed with your point. I just think that your comparison was dumb. And honestly, using alaska is even worse.

I dont know why you need a comparison in the first place. You already have the actual event to look at. Its in eastern europe. And they are in a war.

To that point, lets be real, even the united states doesnt really care about new mexico. Crimea in this argument has actual economic value.

Honestly any square foot of what russia has stolen from Ukraine has so much more economic value in comparison to new mexico, its hardly a realistic comparison.

I get what you are saying. But taos vs a warm water sea port is such an insane comparison. Its so much worse. Albuquerque? Let em have it. Santa fe? Please.

China has been buying and stealing south africa piece by piece for decades. land, mines, politicians. Everything. This will have very negative consequences for all of sa.

They are not defending their boundaries. This is just going to feed the other beast. This just cuts off americas influence on SA, and lets china go full hog into it. This was just they were waiting for.

He sounds like hes trying to demo what he wants to happen in other places. Normalise the conversation, break the standards. If its part of the dialogue now, it isnt that far fetched if it happens in the future. “We can do it too” “they did it first”

Its not subtle. Its a game plan. Its disgusting, but that is exactly whats happening. Same as when he said that the king of england should dissolve parliament. That wont happen, but saying it out loud unfortunately gives it merit. If its part of the conversation, its going to have opinions. Opinions that used to be only said in shadows, can now be said in public. And then they can be pointed to as justification.

He’s looking for precident.

If they can say, look, they did it, we can too. Well now youve got an invitation to snag all the power you can.

Its projection.
