sailors hate them!

too much chi will wreck your chakras, my guy

have you talked to 50-60 year old polish or are you talking to 30 year old “my life was broken by communism” euros?

or is sanity meter a convenient filter: if they think it wasn’t bad, they are insane, i’m a good person, liberal pov?

great article about direct action, haven’t seen it at the time phil neel remains very clear-eyed writer

that implies extremist insurgent group would be worse than current nazi-loving bunch, non? which are anarchists and socialists, from porkies state pov. if only russia could have understood that leftists can give them protection against empire, any patriotic capitalist dipshit will sell their country for a photo-op (see armenia, complete lmayo)

russia could have solved its problem by like 3-5 targeted assassinations between 90s-10s of oligarchs and talking heads, now they got this, pardon me if i don’t see their strategic vision of “finance countries capitalists next door until they sell you out” as a viable strategy.

infiltrated by comprador porkies, as opposed to nationalist porkies. (nationalism, it appears, is a dying ideology in any case, but that requires further treatlerism observation for another 2 decades tbh).

galvanizing further to what exactly? giving them fighter jets and flying radars? oh wait.

yeah, i think striking their rada during another mobilization drive is progressive (and would be popular), just as striking recruitment centers, local ukrainians will happily provide them coordinates

making it underground model would be precisely the goal, disintegration into lawlessness and promoting inter-gang warfare, you know, aims of war is to win, not to white knight yourself into killing fields for a decade.

their offensive on kiev was a punking move, them fumbling kharkov (and odessa, but there are complications there) resulted in this precise situation we are in.

i mean we are observing roughly same situation for 2 years running: ukraine recruits 15-25k a month, 10k escapes, 15k goes to frontlines and dies, and this shit goes on. Now, how to decisively break that situation aside from chewing through all the aforementioned 4 million men (~2.5-3.2 million remaining) 15k in a month, with running your own casualties up?

you either break stream of men, stream of explosives/fuel/parts or central command. each of the routes, i think, is viable (aside from 2nd without air superiority) for russia. ukraine cannot recruit those men if their congress thingy is a smoking crater, or if their police stations are.

russia can’t foment riots cause ukrainian nazis and cops will just shoot them, russia doesn’t shoot down starlink satellites, doesn’t strike at ministry of defense, even perfomatively. deeply unserious people, and that’s a dangerous thing to be.

so just chewing through all male population, on the (losing) bet that 800 million west won’t outproduce them in hardware amount on a decade horizon? because to do otherwise would be warcrimes? or more likely explanation that they are compromised by porkies

you can see them attaching themselves to pentagon in remora-like fashion already, anthropic, xai and openai all trying to get in

i don’t think russia is bothered by rpg or small arms, that’s whatever in grand scheme of things, they are threatened by launchers and highway to moscow in 600 km from the border

i just assume the best of people and always think of sabotage

you can if you suppress air defense systems and just fly around. but your argument is genocidal in any case, so i suggest modifying it, committed nazis sit in the back in any case and “recruit” working class people without bribe money to die.

striking datacenters and police stations is a lesser moral crime (don’t know about definitions) than striking electricity generation, because datacenter is not necessary.

© that they are in the war of attrition, and ukraine military recruitment, by lots of evidence, is quite forceful. now then, if you were to stop this supply of fresh men, the military collapse would happen rather quickly. for now it’s in steady-state equilibrium, and the restricting factor is only the amount of military capable men (~4-6 million), so unless something changes in the relationships of those men to the police/suppressive apparatus they will, unhappily, go kill russians and get killed back. Thus putting this war on the 10 year timeline, which one would think is suboptimal. The numbers for police/military recruitment floating around are 100-150k men, hated by populace and removing them would rather expiate the whole process, not to mention additional issues like gang proliferation.

He also served as a former head of the Norwegian Nobel Committee

(a) everybody in the garden already think them a warcriminal

(b) and striking electricity generation is better how? sinking oil tankers would have had more effect on ukraine military transport capabilities than electricity

© in the internal collapse theory of victory, the state capacity for violence has to be outstripped by anger of people, one would think that a single police piggy recruiting one man per 3 months to the trenches is plenty appropriate target. or you can do paraguay war, with 50% of all men fighting against you over time

one brave monkey wrench, one disabled carrier, wish them success on doing it again

that would be bribery. they should be able to lobby teachers however.

do a walking around day once per week and compare how much stuff you did, like say museums or nature

that russia are infiltrated by porkies, their intelligence agencies are sleepy boys and their military command (still) lacks strategic vision.

although that’s why decision to start it was so surprising (cause porkies interests) and i don’t understand why porkies are not advocating for decisive behavior (probably still preparing a palace coup).

there are like 3-5 things which they don’t even try to pursue (logistical/economical/political) and instead do ww1 attrition. Why even have 300 aircraft if you don’t try to suppress anti air systems, why not strike police and government buildings, why not destroy expensive targets like data centers, why not strike bridges.

fry your rice in a pan, don’t be a nerd
