@tbcdpod@TheFP@hpmcd1 Whatever else one might say about these people, FP staff have at least a modest understanding of Israel, whereas Candice and Tucker know laughably little about Russia.
@Simply_Shula The ROC uses the Russian government to suppress rival Christian denominations, maintaining a monopoly with attendant power, wealth, and corruption.
@TMSTRS_@EliStrawmaning Russia is restraining itself now same as it did in Afghanistan, same as the US did in Vietnam. Sure, superpowers could go nuclear, but they don't for good reasons--even if it means a humiliating defeat. If this war were in Russia's interests, they'd sacrifice more, but it's not.
@TMSTRS_@EliStrawmaning Ukraine, like Finland in the 1939 Winter war, is doing quite an admirable job defending itself, but Ukraine is relatively much bigger, and has far more powerful allies. You seem to be unaware of the war’s recent turn. Google burning+Russian+things.
Overnight, our warriors applied Ukraine’s long-range sanctions against an oil refinery in Russia’s Saratov – about 700 kilometers from the frontline. An important result. Thank you! There were also strikes in the Rostov and Kirov regions, as well as at a military base on the Caspian Sea coast.
Our Defense Forces of Ukraine are carrying out long-range missions in line with the approved priorities of the plan for such sanctions. This week, targets were also reached in the Yaroslavl, Ryazan, Voronezh, Volgograd, Rostov, Novgorod, Nizhny Novgorod and Krasnodar regions at distances ranging from 300 to 1,200 kilometers from Ukraine’s state border.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, our intelligence agencies – thank you!
@HauschultenSeb@OTregub@clashreport Nah, Mearsheimer, like many white Westerners, thinks he gets points for blaming his own side, oblivious the arrogance of his Americentrism.
It's funny that neither Mearsheimer nor Sachs speaks a foreign language, but they pontificate about the desires of foreign societies.
@taylor933642391@petersavodnik Says somebody who hasn't looked at national church attendance rates, or asked any street missionaries in Europe where they come from.
@AlexanderV7051@leonidragozin I personally know people affected by Ukraine’s kinetic sanctions, but if an X account created last month says there aren’t any, I guess I’ll have to believe him.
Russia’s own media, both state and bloggers, acknowledge the strikes on the energy industry. Please troll better.
