Ukraine losing territory isn't winning

If they get to keep the western 3/4 it's a lesser defeat than total conquest, but still a defeat

It's been a total disaster for Russia, gone on far longer than intended, horrible from a geopolitical standpoint, horrible from an economic standpoint. Regardless if you get people saying, look how much the EU has suffered from energy issues, you still caused a shift into finding alternative energy, that obviously isn't happening overnight but Russian is still forcing things to move quicker than any protesting or bullshit policy, or government commitments to alternative energy since its now being done out of actual necessity. You want countries to be entirely dependent on you, not trying to rapidly solve how not to be.

Novel take, particularly as it's Ukraine is struggling to fill it's army's ranks and is entirely depending on outside support, which is hitting road bumps. Wars of attrition favor the side that has more resources, both men and material.

75% of something is better than 100% of nothing. when russia invaded everyone bet on them being toppled.



and now countries are starting to boycott Teslas. lol what a mess.

Tesla , Elon Musk has done some pretty horrible things and, forced some pretty terrible conditions in their factories. The guy and his father is a piece of shit, without question. He might denounce his father, but he clearly did not fall far from the tree.

Also lets face it, the guy is just a con artist, hes an Elizabeth Homes that has had some success in one area while being a complete Theranos in others. Like the Boring Company. The fuckin guy just boasted so much bullshit and fake garbage just to pick up major city contracts like in places like Chicago when he had no intention of doing anything. It was just to block out light rail development because that directly competes with Tesla all while fucking people.

I hate that guy. Thats my rant today. What you can expect though when a guy comes from a father who was a total piece of trash and is now fucking his step daughter and having children with a girl he raised from 4 years old.

Elon hate is so irrational and so nonsensical lmao. The guy built a 700+billion market cap EV company, really pioneered and mainstreamed the product, objectively a positive for humanity. His rocket company/Starlink are also some of the more advanced and leading technologies that give the US an edge. I'm dumbfounded when I hear dumb shit like you just said, if Elon is a piece of shit con artist i'm really curious to who do you consider top entrepreneurs of our day.

I said he had success in an area. Are you hard of reading? Success in one area does not excuse someone for their personal actions in life nor does it mean everything he shits out are golden eggs.

Sorry I dont live in a world where I excuse people for everything because they had success in something.

I know you might find that dumbfounding but that's not surprising given your moral compass.

elon has a gift or buying then making worse companies. tesla was great short term, somehow he fucked it up lol. hyperloop was a terrible idea.

You ignore the objective positive he has on the world and are fixating on something fairly insignificant to justify your hate. I don't need to excuse or frankly care very little about his father. He is having a historically significant impact on the world, something that will most likely go down in history to the likes of Einstein, Nikola Tesla, etc. That's how he's going to be remembered (unless he really does something to ruin that legacy) not because of his father or how he treated factory employees.

The vegas loop, holy hell I laughed my hole out when I saw what the Boring Company had come to. So many massive promises were issued to these cities, no, no no, dont put in a light rail system for the people, ill put in Hyperloop and we can travel at 800 miles per hour, just cancel those light rails that people really need.
