Because Russia doesn’t go after strategic targets. Only civilians and because (at least in Europe) the vast majority of people fucking hate Russia. Especially countries that share a border with them or used to be part of the soviet union. Nobody hates Russia more than Russians who have managed to get out though. I had a russian colleague who basically gave up on seeing his family until after the war was over and he has no intention of ever living there after.
Grew up atheist, went through a semi serious pagan phase, got certified as a shaman, went back to atheism. Will still throw in the odd ritual, but more with the expectation that it will affect the way I think about a problem rather than the ritual doing anything on its own.
So like if you have a job interview you can either raw dog it and show your lack of confidence or.preform a ritual and gain some confidence which will count in your favour during the interview.h
Is the ritual doing any direct alterations? No, but it’s still useful.
Even a blind hen finds the corn some of the time.
I’m pretty sure that was deliberate. Bush didn’t want a soundbite of him saying shame on me.
Cheese is the best source of protein for normal non-bodybuilder food.
Don’t forget the whole pretending that bird flu doesn’t exist thing.
Hah! Get wrecked, cunt!
Seagulls?!? That’s just how they are, fam.
But… writing things down is the only reliable way to communicate in Denmark.
I think most instances have de-federated them. An insane group of tankie trolls and bots. Their whole purpose is to put out russian and Chinese propaganda.
What do you think hexbear is?
If I were the only one who had to read his nonsense, I would. The problem is that the Kremlin’s propaganda machine doesn’t rest. And it’s important that people see rational voices counteracting the disinformation. Otherwise more and more people are going to start believing the propaganda.
Ukraine doesn’t want to use the same meatwave tactics as Russia. It’s not the same as having a recruitment problem. Ukrainian soldiers are also way more motivated than the Russians who, are advancing very slowly and at huge cost.
The reason Russia is advancing at all is because Russia is prepared to suffer catastrophic numbers of dead and wounded to take a field and Ukraine is prepared to loose a field or two if it means conserving their population. The two methods for Ukraine to regain their territory are to either use a massive portion of their population in meatwave attacks or to cause a collapse of government within Russia. The latter is much quicker and more effective long term.
Russia has a population of 140ish million people all of which are viewed as expendable by Putin. Recruiting more meat won’t help. Long range ordinance to fuck up russas logistics routes and oil infrastructure will absolutely help. So shut your cock-pocket and scurry back to your basement in the Kremlin.
End Kiwi expansionism!
Honestly Norway could equal Russia’s entire military budget for the year without anyone in Norway noticing any changes to their daily lives.
I didn’t think minus values were possible on standard IQ tests.
The most fucked up episode of robot wars so far.
