@gwynnion I live in a rented appartment in Ukraine and none of problems mentioned ever took place here. Managment is active and cares about utility functions even when there is no power. We had elevator and water powered by community funded diesel generator.

All the othee dynamics are opposite. People are leaving constantly, the rules are fucking same, cops can't enfore shit,
But rent must be paid.

@Kristian_Kiehling "we wanna bomb civilians and whine about our goverment incompetency, like americans do it, but our goverment tyranically supresses our speech and can't even bomb civilians into submission so now we are in trouble, but what if we make deep psychological take about "mystique of human spirit", "le bad person made me do it", "it's more complicated you see, that war criminal rappist also loved being arround children"

Oh world you sure peeked around when I was 11

Trump's Iran War costs the U.S. $1.88 billion a day. At that rate, it will take less than 2 months to match the $109 billion sent to Ukraine over three years during the Biden admin. In only six days, the U.S. has already spent 10% of what it disbursed to Kyiv after Russia's Feb 2022 invasion.

"A tacit deal has come into view. Forget freedom. Iranians can still be repressed as long as shipping through the strait of Hormuz is unmolested.

The biggest non-combatant beneficiary from Operation Epic Fury has been Vladimir Putin. His country’s ailing economy gets revenue relief from higher energy prices."

Explanation: The great Ukrainian military leader and libertarian socialist/anarchist Nestor Makhno, in his years of campaigning, would often reconnoiter enemy lines himself. Very dangerous, especially for an important commander like him. His protection of choice? Drag.

No, really. He’d dress up as a peasant woman, and from Austro-Hungarians to Russian Whites, he would be ‘beneath notice’ of soldiers and officers alike, allowing him to get a good, close-up, and personal estimation of enemy forces and dispositions without being caught or shot at.
