Again with the namecalling, insults and weirdly telling accusations. I hope you find a different outlet for you anger than randos on the internet.

Are you unable to have an argument without namecalling or have i simply struck too many nerves? Im starting to feel like you dont want to argue but want to be right… first you tell me EU isnt buying panels from china now you tell me it has no solar/wind sector(when it clearly does btw). Then where are the panels coming from? The US?(good one) I know first hand but it seems like you dont. You tell me that european economies are going to collapse when the hard numbers show that they are just growing slower. The cut from russian gas simply didnt have the big consequences you wanted it to have.

Why should i even have to adress an argument that boils dont to “no youre all facists”. Our little nazis receive payments from and are regulars with the chinese and russian gouvernment. Thats just a hard fact. Big US tech regularly pushes their content in users faces (“oh no thats just the algorithm, we didnt do nothing…”). And again theyve stopped growing at arround 30%(still horrible) (which is also easy to look up btw) and you just go “nu uh”.

But its not about BRICS its not about G7. Its about Nato/Europe against russia. And yes BRICS is a joke compared to the EU. What does it matter if the economies of member states shortly benefited from russia having to sell fertilizer and oil at a near loss? Everyone in BRICS is in there for themselves and not because they like each other so much. The EU has already seen a few crises, BRICS’s will be russias collapse. Only time will tell if it can grow to an actual alliance or if its just a bunch of loose contracts that may or may not be fullfilled. G7 doesnt matter again thanks to the senile orange.

You call it what you want we both know what i meant when i said conscription. Miss me with the whataboutism and Ukraine. We where talking about how many men russia can put on the ground. Nothing else. Also again stop it with the name calling. Im trying to have an argument in good faith but I feel more and more like you dont.

What am I supposed to answer when I point out that russian advances have halted to a crawl and that their losses are unsustainable and again you just say “nuh uh”? Like what am I supposed to say to that.

I agree that china is going to save russia. Thats what I already said and chinas help is going to come at a hefty price. Im sure the russian people will be happy to be under new management. Might actually improve things for them.

like i said. you dont have to choose between welfare state and defense and you have every right to hold your gouvernment accountable for pretending that you have to choose.

I think there are some issues with federation and editing comments because I think I edited the comment twice or so. Doesnt matter.

Germany is not Europe and also not Nato alone though and as I said european economies are still growing, just slower. And for the reneweables; europe started 10 years ago and is transitioning RIGHT now. They are definitly buying whatever they can get their hands on. The EU has every right to protect its solar/wind sector (so does china and so does the US), if that means chinese panels arent going to be as cheap so be it, but they are definitly being installed so idk why you have to be so dishonest about this.

I mean yeah of course altrighters where going to rise during the ukraine war. Its literally their job (from russias, chinas and newly techbros in the US perspective) to destabilize european countries and to stop them from funding ukraine. Its more like altrighters sharply rose to 20-30% and then plateaud. If we want to stay with germanys example I can tell you that the afd might look like its rising but it has been losing local elections left and right because people have been realizing that maybe it isnt such a good idea to have a room temp IQ nazi as your mayor. My apologies if you felt that I was putting words in you mouth there but I dont think I did. Yes Europe has many problems. No most of them existed before the war and arent caused by it. As of now BRICS is a fucking joke and chinas support to russia is coming with a hefty price. Dont know why you have to bring G7 into this when again its about all countries in the EU/Nato. Obviously russia has more people than ukraine, but how many of those can they mobilize and how sustainable is it to have 1000 more of them everyday unable to fight? Obviously the russian army is growning(would be stupid if it wasnt) and they are certainly less ill equiped than at the start of the war, but is it enough? So far it doesnt seem like it. In how many centuries will russia reach kiew if it continues at its current pace? Maybe europes economies will crash and maybe civilisation itself will collapse but there is no scenario where russia doesnt go belly up first.

If by this stupid shit you mean finlands own defence (because that is where the majority of the spending goes to, not ukraine) then i guess thats that. Its not like you are bordering any countries that have started any armed conflicts with their neigbouring states since the 2000s and its not like you have any historic conflicts and contested territories with any country. You should rightfully protest the dismantling of the welfare state and the money should come from rich tax evaders like it should anywhere else. Its not a choice between welfare state and increased defence spending. You can have both

Last time I checked high energy prices came from the orange turds continuation of the forever war in the middle east and not from russian oilwells receiving kinetic sanctions in 2026. Then again we can thank the old warmongering retards for finally weaning off europe from fossil and forcing renewables on them (making them more independent aswell) even if its means that their economic growth is checks notes a few percent lower (GROW mind you, not stagnate or recess). And that social fabric unravelling in Europe, is it in the room with us right now? I dont disagree that rising living costs and in generall collapsing infrastructure aswell as environment are going to make the situation really ugly in Europe in the future, but its just not happening right now nor in the near future. And lets stop pretending that this isnt an universal problem every county on earth will be facing. Not every problem the west has is tied to russia (most of them are selfmade lol). Again western economies can easily outlast russias even if the country was managed the best way possible. A single countries economy cannot outcompete so many others. Russia knows this and thats why this article and similar messages exists in the first place to convince people in the west that their attempts are seemingly futile even if that isnt the case at all. Like I said it will come down to who has the least catastrophic demographics between ukraine and russia.

Big yawn. Lets conveniently ignore that the money ukraine is getting is pocket change for western economies and in return they get to see how their weapons perform in real combat situations aswell as expertise in new fields like drone warfare and electronic jamming. If anyone is loosing in this war its the russian and the ukrainian people, but the west/nato is definitly not loosing. had ukraine given in to russian demands in 2022 the war would not have ended, but they would simply have shown russia that they can be harassed again and again without resistance. Its best that this conflict is fought to the end now and then be over with it.

Looks like a bed-leveling issue to me? Maybe theres a high point and the nozzle is crashing into the print at that positon.

Northern Journey is a personal highlight for me. Very atmospheric and interesting visuals but should run on a potato.
