RU telegram is the best place to learn about RU failures, for two reasons.

First, they're doomers. They see a small failure and bitch and cry for hours. UA telegram provides that in inverse.

Second, they correct, because they have to struggle with the desire to balance doomerism with nationalism.

UA TG doesn't have this dialectic, because they (correctly) view positive news as beneficial to the war effort due to Western amplification of positive news and therefore more Western weapons shipments.


The point is there is no such thing as whataboutism. It's a neural hack to stub off learning.

You posit that the US doesn't need to implement the NATO freeze because they aren't legally obligated to. But the US isn't legally obligated to implement anything because America is a hegemonic power. And history clearly shows this is true.

Without 'whataboutism', you have to confront this contradiction and reconcile it. Therefore, 'whataboutism' is an ideological defense mechanism used to avoid this reconciliation.

Without it, the solution is obvious: power determines rules.

And honestly, why do you even care, since you think America is winning? That America will continue to win?

What contradiction?

Reread, but do it better this time.

Oz has really bombed. I guess Fetterman will resign very soon, so that his far-left wife can take the seat.

Idk, doesn't matter I guess. I said it weeks ago, never trust their words but make them sign on a paper.

Typo while writing "retreat" ?

Not yet. If China had Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew wouldn't have jailed the potential communist without trial for 50 years
That being said, Lee Kuan Yew and the Singapore Government worked closely with Deng Xiaoping and his Chinese government since 1978 to open China up to the world and convinced them not to spread their ideologue in South East Asia.
It was well documented.

In regards to Mao, yes during the first 1 or 2 decades of his rule, the Majority of China did view him very favorably up till the cultural revolution, and it went downhill.
Why was he viewed that way, simply because the KMT coalition was considered much worst than the Communist during that period of time.

And to add to it, if the Japanese didn't step in and Veto. China would have join Nazi Germany, they had really good relationships with them.

Here is some information.

I think kusotarre, when not trolling, is very precise and they bring valid perspectives/ideas for the most part. I think even lvivz can be very accurate at times, but his views are clouded by rage/emotions/propaganda because he has personal involvement in the war.

If you want to talk about prostitutes, that have nothing of value to offer, santara is the biggest one here, a hypocritical subhuman who has 0 understanding of politics. Fender etc are trolls rather than anything else.

As for updates, Russians have been blowing up bridges north of Kherson which could signal retreat from Kherson.

Something i haven't seen discussed here is the reconnection of ZNPP to Ukrainian power grid, that has to be the most bizarre part of the war so far. (part of a peace deal?)

Retreat is on. Retreat is on-on.
