It also means that China can take advantage of Russia to get much more than it could usually get for their gear. China is not helping Russia out of the goodness of it's heart or some ideological reason. They're taking advantage.
Yep, China, and Iran and India and whoever else. Current admin sets the conditions of trade that would scar the economy long after all these senile gambling gramps die. Reparations don't sound that awful when you consider how much shit they probably promised to or leased from these 'brotherly' countries. Even if I happened to be a Z-patriot, I can't see myself swallowing that.
Not all rockets are made equally.
You are right. And the fact that they scratch the bottom of the barrel like asking NK means they are desperate. Still, not enough supplies to Ukraine to counter that and I want them to have these, as a russian citizen.
My wish now is to edit and narrate my post-mortem video, thank you.
What can hurt it in your opinion?
Military stuff is out of the picture since they established their trade with CCP and NK for rockets and found their ways to get European chips. They are investigated, but slowly.
My guess is that a lot of ingredients used in their production lines of food are imported, like specific kinds of yeast to make bread and beer or something like that. I wonder if sanctions targeting non-consumer products critical to producing them can lead to long pauses I'd read about in military once some key suppliers got cut off.
I don't follow your thought. Can you explain it?
M$ Office formatting and cross-version mutations make me want to return to TXT and nothing else.
Like a pizza cutter, all edge and no point.
Incrimental economical hardships get obfuscated by the state so no one draws a line between that and the war, or if they do, they have 1000+1 reasons why it went this way thanks to propaganda. Until it is a direct shock treatment at some industries, it would be toned down by the effort of local economical institutions. I'm the outlier in buying things in non-chinese services and following western media it seems, and slowing down the YouTube was the first event when I noticed many previously apolitical person to find their ways to circumvent the ban.
The most energized groups are those of recent soldiers and their families, and their protests get shut down fast. It's genuinely afraid of them. And it feels like the way it would happen.
I suspect $10mil. is what they were able to track but isn't it just a pocket change in the american media world, especially with such a mission?
I throw up some confusing explanation with gestures before my barber does the same haircut they did to me for 5+ something years. Idk what would I do if they retire.
Actual footage before the crash:
For-profit framing of public services is indeed a problem, as we can see with prisons too. Probably, it's better to call their avoided taxes stolen money, money stolen from regular citizen, and the return on them as a punishment for theft. And then point out how many investments in public infrastructure and services could've been done for these money: in miles of roads not layed, in new schools not built, - and that's the same weight goes onto shoulders of regular Joes who millionaires stole them from. And insist that this kind of theft should be punished, for if regular americans are obligated to suffer the tax filling and paying process, it's unfair these chuds with hired accountants and lawyers don't.

A picture of a group of first Christians praying in a circle. They are in the roman Coliseum. A lion slowly approaches them. The text added over the picture reads 'VEGAN DIET'.
Cannibals are those who eat their own kind. This lion isn't one.
