Using that logic, USA should be divided between England and Spain…

Whereas if Russia LOSES this war, or if Ukraine regains a hefty chunk of the occupied lands, Putin will be seen as a loser in Moscow, quickly replaced and deals with a new leader will be much easier and fruitful.

So helping Putin to escape now actually harms the US economy.

Trump announced another meeting with Putin, this time in Budapest.

I fully expect it to buy Russia more time, help them evade sanctions, and yield no meaningful progress toward ending the war.

Day 1328 of my 3 day war. Ukrainians strikes on our refineries have had so little effect that most forms of fuel are now free.

I remain a master strategist.

Now if we can just ensure Trump doesn’t speak to anyone else for the next three months, we will be in a very good position.

”Rysslands ambassadör söker ingens förtroende och försöker inte övertyga någon. Han vill mest så tvivel, skapa osäkerhet, producera ljudklipp från ett etablerat svenskt medium som kan användas i de egna propagandakanalerna, flytta diskussionen till en punkt mellan sanningen och de ryska lögnerna.”

Your point is absolutely valid in a country where paranoia is a useful trait. Yet, a traditional answer is that the relatively low flat rate income tax at 13% limits the risk reward in the tax cost vs being found out in a repressive society.

A permanent UN Security Council member bombed sleeping families in their homes in a major European capital this morning.

Russians are real barbarians. How do they expect to win the war by terror bombing and killing civilians? The worst terror in Europe since WWII, and it hardly gets attention in western media now. This alone should cover the first pages for days.

Absolutely any war can always be ended "almost instantly" if you want - for this it is enough to simply capitulate. In fact, Trump directly accuses Ukraine of not capitulating.

Had they been to Russia outside of Moscow before …?

Mistakes people make interpreting Russian Economic Data

For our example, we’re going to be using this Sears Mail Order Home No. 117 from the 1908 catalog!

I can't decide if Grok dismantling MTG pro russian bs in the caveman language is peak internet or fall of civilization, but it's extremely funny

Sverige behöver större volymer av krigsförband. Samtidigt har vi en rätt omfattande mobiliseringsreserv, en välutbildad befolkning och är en tekniskt framstående nation. Sebastian Merlöv föreslår en ny sorts brigad för snabbare upprustning.

Självfallet. Vi skall förvara oss med alla till buds stående medel, och rimligen utan att binda ena handen på ryggen.

Åh nej, stackars föräldrar. Det är så skört, livet 😭

Puh! Lille pôjk.

Rysk amfibietrupp svinar i pisset.

We must remember: bombing residential buildings with sleeping children is not about military might or strength — it’s about hatred and the impotence to win. But destroying Russia’s arsenals, aviation, and oil refineries — that’s about the will to win and put an end to the Russian imperialism.

Den vanliga frågan - hur mycket elände skulle omvärlden slippa om Ryssland hade en annan regim?

Just some minor repairs, and they will be as good as new, judging from this image.

COURAGEOUS BRILLIANT, STRATEGIC, LEADERSHIP MATTERS… 💙🇺🇦💛

”Jamen SVT har ju sagt att ’Ryssland föreslår flera sätt för vapenvila’ så de verkar ju så otrooooligt måna om fred..?” Helt sjukt när media bara plankar ryska påståenden i sin rubriksättning, utan att säga att alla sätten förutsätter amputation av Ukrainas territorium...

Strängt taget så är väl USAs relation till Kina det filter man får lägga på allt agerande från USA numera.
