There is no "fixing" of training times.
You could however fix the constant propaganda of making "AfRaId GeRmAnS BlOcK SuPpLiEs AgAiN!" out of statements that they will not deliver something before Ukrainians are trained to operate it...
But as everybody seems to love the narratives so much we will always see those rediculous acts of playing Telephone:
-
German media reports deliveries will happen after training is done
-
US media picks it up and reports that Germany is not delivering as long as Germans would be need for operation (as bringing in soldiers from a NATO country is an escalation against NATO policy)
-
Ukrainian media picks up the US report and cries about those stupid Germans not helping because they are always afraid of some imaginary escalation
Every single time, like clockwork.
You are right, that some of the processes can be probably optimized (in fact alot of them are for NATO members... which is one NATO benefits beyond deterrence), but my point here is: All those leaders are democratically elected by voters that are in fact influenced by the media. And the media coverage is at times totally unhinged. And this also causes problems. Especially nowadays when a single report is instantly multiplied because everyone is afraid of missing clicks. While the readers barely check anything but the title, most cerntainly not the source.
I get what you're saying but we I think it's beena decent middle ground of checks and balances. You can't just pour weapons into every conflict that starts up.
There are streamlined processes but Ukraine never made it a goal or priority to join NATO or the EU.
@veroxii @xhci Au contraire, Pres Zelenskyye has made no bones about the fact that he wants in the NATO alliance yesterday. I'm not certain about the EU, but he'd likely not refuse it totally as it would provide markets for Ukrainian wheat and products. Conflicts eat up weapons. Unless, of course, you are proposing that having RU controlling the EU gas and oil supply a good thing?
It's most likely a strategic demand for finding a diplomatic solution in the middle at the end.
One side isn't really in favour of sending the cruise missiles and the other side strategically demands, what will most likely never be agreed upon. Then discussions, expert questioning, manufacturer feedback, analysis, more discussions... At the end everyone agrees somewhere in the middle. E.g. to send them, but the same way as France and the UK already did with reduced range and agreed countries to target.
This is like a very frustrating strategy game where you have to unlock technologies.
For those up voting - take a look at the user posting. They have just spammed over 1,000 links from this account in less than 24hrs.
sorry, but i was just posting news, did not know that was not supposed to do that, i m sorry will not do it again, and its not 1000, i only made 38 Posts13 Comments
Dude, it's users like you (who provide content) to the platform who we need to thank for supporting the platform.
The fact that someone does not understand the karma scoring should not discourage you.
Welcome!
You are welcome to post the news. It's just that @SoniKozak erroneously accused you of spamming. Please take it easy.
i m new in here, i have to respect you guys
You are warmly welcome 🤗
Naw the other guy is just being a dick. Thank you for posting comments and stories!
Have to agree with the poster. Dude has 40 threads (mainly twitter) and 17 comments.
He hasn't posted 1000 links, or anything close to that.
Does Karma not count? Please educate me if I'm being overly suspicious of what I interpreted to be spamming.
Karma is the number of points earned for posts and comments. In this example, it shows that the posts were quite appreciated. Until you came with your spam accusation.
Again, forgive me for being skeptical of such high traction on a brand new account, especially since this community is still pretty small. I have been watching it grow for a few months, and noticed a flurry of activity.
Fair enough, the fediverse has much more potential to survive if we all help make it good.
It's OK. Errors happen. Thank you for your efforts to safeguard the flurry 🙏
Those numbers under Karma are how many up votes they've received on their posts and comments, respectively, not how many posts they've made.
Not on your instance, but I assume that's the posters "reputation". It's the sum score of likes/dislikes their threads/comments received from viewers. The user has no control over it.
