Ah, yes, when they invaded Crimea.
Which I'm sure are definitely not of lower quality with an increased ratio of duds produced by a more war-centric economy that's ultimately degrading their society even further.
It's not a simple one to one. Everyone's use case and experience is different. Don't get me wrong, I'm all in on the FOSS train and I don't approve of Microsoft's direction with Windows but it's still a consistently hassle-free experience compared to Linux for people who just don't wanna deal with distros, terminals, repositories or compatibility layers.
The first paragraph sums it pretty accurately. We conceded Chechnya, we conceded Georgia, we conceded Crimea and now he's after the entirety of Ukraine. He. Will. Not. Stop until all former Soviet territories are under Russia again. Sound familiar?
I would hardly call it "losing badly" when Ukraine, despite months of being deprived of U.S aid and rationing their ammunition, is still preventing any major breakthrough, still holding the vast majority of country's territory and inflicting major casualties for every inch of land Russia manages to grab. This war is far from over.
Would Italy do the same if their land was being stolen?
I never thought he specifically ordered the killing blow but given that he did order him jailed in cruel conditions under a ton of bogus charges Navalny's death is on his head either way.
Conspiracy theory now? So the Ukranians are fighting imaginary invaders?
Of course Europe should stop relying on U.S military especially when it's in danger of once again falling under the control of Putin's favourite useful orange idiot.
Within the context of this single aid package, of course Ukraine is not going to be winning anything, other than perhaps the objective of stabilizing their frontline situation. Hopefully this is a return to form after too many months of deliberate stalling by Putin's wing of the GOP.
Cool. Now all they need to do to occupy those flats is to release more people from the prison camps.
Especially when invading your neighbouring countries.
Well... yeah? The world needs less humans and more elephants.
Whether it's the persecution of minorities by labelling them as terrorists, clamping down of freedom of speech, punishing people who even dare hint at war criticism, shutting down any remotely viable opposition to dear old Vlad or slowly killing his political rivals in penal colonies, publicly dismissing warnings of actual terrorist attacks until it's too late... yeah, they're living in clover.
I'm sure the victims of the most recent terror attack would gladly agree with you.
The Russian people have never had a regime with their best interests at heart so that's nothing new.
Unfortunate reality in war. Even though it's a just fight for the Ukranians it's an incredibly difficult decision to make for many.
Do I have to point out that this title is misleading? Don't get me wrong, I'd be glad if it were true... one less child killer roaming the world but if you read the article it hasn't been confirmed by western sources he was on that plane.
"Vahukomm" in Estonian with the same literal translation.
