Good analogy

By all accounts she saved the original trilogy from George’s input.

Dude fundamentally doesn’t understand art.
Artist makes art.
Artist puts it out into the world.
Consumer consumes art.
Consumer interprets art.
The art is then an amalgamation of the artist, the art, and the consumer.
The art is meaningless without the consumer.
Grow up George. We don’t want your newly interpreted versions of a thing that you get credited for creating. Han shot first and your ex wife saved the original trilogy from your input.

(Assuming you’re American)

Lots of Americans seem to think that state media is a bad thing. Lot’s of countries get it right. Especially after it’s first been implemented.
I’d often rather have a government (obviously not Russia, China, or in my case Canada) over some oligarch controlling it. Murdoch hasn’t exactly been doing good things wherever he goes

Guy got 87%.
You can’t get 87% of people to agree on pizza toppings for the night

It’s like they have the opinion that they got it perfect first try.
I’m not a fan of Apple style the same but slightly improved each year, but for a. Investment like that, I want there to be a difference in build quality at the lowest end of the spectrum.
Tesla just pushes the exact same thing with new promises of full auto driving

The issue with Israel isn’t the quality of their weapons and munitions. It’s the quantity.
This article explains how they don’t have many fighter pilots
Israel has something like 35000 people in it’s air force. That’s a tiny air force. Most of those people are going to be in some type of support role. The article talks about the most elite squadron being only 40 people. Losing one person is arguably a bigger loss than the plane. After all, doesn’t matter if you have a plane if no one can fly it

All of the West should be ashamed for giving them hope for 1 1/2 years. All of the cynics knew the western funding was going to dry up. It was only a matter of time before a shinier newer conflict rose up

They could rush NATO membership.

Given his circumstances, I’m surprised he hasn’t given up territory for the purpose of saving his people’s lives.

They’re going to lose. Is it better for Ukraine to exist in a diminished capacity or not at all?

Could be. There’s lots of shills and bots out there

I really thought about putting some type of disclaimer about how this was a response I expected.
I regret not putting that down.
The online discourse on this is so black and white it’s ridiculous.
There can be multiple reasons for things. Doesn’t mean that any side is some type of white Knight.

There’s a luhansk one as well.
Russia backed those separatists. Russia escalated it, but there was a sizable portion of the population that wanted out of Ukraine. I have zero idea how they feel about the 2022 annexation.

I’ve met a bunch of Ukrainians online that just want the war done. They don’t care who wins. They’re seeing their family and friends die and they just want it to stop.

People seem to forget that this thing started because two oblasts didn’t want to be part of Ukraine anymore. Russia escalated it for sure, but it still started as a separatist movement inside Ukraine.

Did he just Reichstag an actual attack?

Thanks. That was a solid reference that was way over my head

Why the instant hostility? This isn’t reddit. Calm down

There’s been reports of Odessa being attacked with some type of long range explosive.
If you’ve been paying attention to the fronts, those usually indicate that Russia is putting boots on the ground soon.
Russia needs to close Ukrainian access to the sea. They’re losing too many ships to the sea drones. They need to take Odessa to win.
It would be the biggest escalation in this war since the second invasion of 22.

This could have turned into such an easy win.
If they’d let compassion drive their actions, hamas would have lost lots of support

‘Real genocide’…
Wow.
