  • Yeah cause you know im constantly reading about Russians that want to fight… Pretty sure this is a problem on both sides. Regardless, all my other points still stand.

    Ukraine is also not using meat wave tactics, they’re holding a line and falling back when the costs of holding it are too high. This is pretty effective at bleeding the invading force. A defending army doesnt need as many troops as an attacking army. An attacking army typically wants a 3:1 advantage. And at the cost of over 1000 Russian troops a day and even russian telegram channels showing them forcing wounded troops back into combat this isnt looking great for them.

    Most importantly, Ukraine has nearly established air superiority. Air superiority will eventually become air dominance as more and more of Russias air defence systems are destroyed. I dont think theres been a war in history where the side with air dominance lost. This is evident as Ukraine has now been able to strike deep inside Russia and attacking their supply chain and economy directly at the sources.

    So without some sort of major change in momentum the rest of the war is going to look like: Ukraine sitting on a defence line bombing Russia, whittling away at their supply chain and economy, while the Russians send poorly equiped meat waves to try and claim Ukraines territory at a current rate of 1% every 3 years.

    They’ll be home by christmas!.. 2272…








  • The biggest down side of my inifintity book is that my right shift key is a painful stretch. Because they use full sized arrow keys and the up takes up the useful half of the right shift.

    So half the time i hit up instead of shift and start typing my sentence on the wrong line. Its fucking infuriating.

    God knows why they made that choice but next laptop i will be sure to watch out for that




  • Theyve been outsourcing it to continents that does things so cheaply, either due to poverty or currency manipulation, that it makes up for the costs of shipping.

    Increasing trade is convicing both blocs that its easier to buy and work with companies that are, for parts, so far away that the work day doesnt even overlap. Sure a common currency makes business dealings easier, but again, theres a reason we do ~75% of our trade with our neighbor. Also on that continent people outsource to the work day is a lot longer than 8 hours. I can message a manufacturer in China any time of my day and they will respond.

    Common currency would lead to more investment, from EU countrie, but i dont see that coming close to making up for the losses from increased trade barriers for all our other trading partners
