A single nuke would be worse for ukraine, russia would start using nukes immediately. Ukraine can do very little to russia with one nuke and russia would want to destroy ukraine before they become an actual nuclear threat to russia.
So one nuke would pretty much be suicide for ukraine. They’d need at the very least, a couple of dozen nukes.
100k a year in most EU countries is considered wealthy, and we have the highest taxes in the world.
We also generally have higher food/gas prices than anywhere else, so probably it’s more related to spending habits in the US. Eating out should be a once per month thing not three times per day.
That being said, we also got free healthcare and education so probably makes a huge difference.
Previously, a yield strength of 5,000 pounds per square inch (psi) was enough for concrete to be rated as “high strength,” with the best going up to 10,000 psi. The new UHPC can withstand 40,000 psi or more. ...
It’s actually not the worst idea, 5% is a lot, way more than needed, but it’s pretty decent to play catch up.
EU states are pretty far behind with their militaries, pumping it to 5% for a few years and dropping it back to 2-3% when we’re caught up with other superpowers seems like a good idea.
Russia has the support of China, otherwise they would’ve lost already, so the answer to your question is china via russia.
Because we are competitors, it makes sense for them to have russia bleed us economically.
Dumbfucks believed the orange guy who was sitting in front of the billionaires. Lets not forget that a third of the us isn’t capable of reading above the 6th grade level.
Technically it’s not the worst thing in the world, as long as russia is engaged in a war.
The offensive side historically takes 3x casualties than the defending side, that includes use of ammunition.
Ie so if ukraine produces 1M shells and russia 2M, ukraine is still better off.
Not that i dont support ukraine getting more ammo, far from it. it’s just that things arent so black and white, producing more doesnt mean you’re winning.

Well how the fuck was i supposed to know i cant use that word “orc”. Been using that online for 3 years now without any issues.
I mean, sure i guess its a good reason for the removal but i’d like to know the reason too. Without actually letting us know why anything gets removed is just shadowbanning.
Denying it confirms the intent behind the move was malicious. Wether it was done by him or anyone else, so this pretty much confirms it as an attempted attack on the US by China or at worst, a single chinese person.

Yup this, nazis were fighting soviets so basically in the eyes of the finns, they were liberated, same with the majority of the baltics.
Soviets were a much bigger problem for eastern europe than nazis. But nazis ended up being just as bad.

Im happy that we have these, the environment is way better without loose caps everywhere. But i gotta say, with some bottles im still struggling.
Dont get me wrong, i wouldnt go back, it’s just difficult sometimes to screw them back on.
Cars are a good example, there was a point where you couldnt get a car that was cheaper than a horse. Eventually there were enough old cars on the market that reduced the price so having a horse just wasnt financially reasonable.
There will be a point where there are enough old robots on the market that having a human do a simple labor job isnt financially reasonable.
