Russia has the support of China, otherwise they would’ve lost already, so the answer to your question is china via russia. Because we are competitors, it makes sense for them to have russia bleed us economically.
It’s actually not the worst idea, 5% is a lot, way more than needed, but it’s pretty decent to play catch up.
EU states are pretty far behind with their militaries, pumping it to 5% for a few years and dropping it back to 2-3% when we’re caught up with other superpowers seems like a good idea.
Well thats exactly what you’d get by not investing in defence, which is a deterrent for war.
So defence isn’t worth investing in? Try telling that to eastern europe.
Well how the fuck was i supposed to know i cant use that word “orc”. Been using that online for 3 years now without any issues. I mean, sure i guess its a good reason for the removal but i’d like to know the reason too. Without actually letting us know why anything gets removed is just shadowbanning.
My reasoning: made a comment on this sub about ukraine-russia conflict on a post that said russia is out producing ukraine. Just a casual reminder-comment that an offending force always uses more ordenance / casualties than the defending force. Comment got removed by a mod with 0 explination.
In no way is such a statement i made a lie, propaganda or anything of sorts. Basically uncomfortable truths or anything that doesnt help the narrative gets removed, what a joke.
I love how lemmy is even worse than reddit, just comments getting removed and with no explanations.
In a New York district there wasnt a single vote for Kamala. Think about that for a bit.
Poland isn’t that stupid lol, that would be the quickest way to get annexed by russia.
As long as china is trading with russia im doing my best to avoid trading with them, im sure im not the only one.
Exactly, everybody knows lawyers only speak the truth. /s
Until China trades with Russia, i will do my best to avoid trading with China. Pretty sure this sentiment is shared throughout europe.
US supplys 38% of EU drugs, lets bring those numbers even lower. One thing worse than low prices for big pharma is low sales.
Nah they’d be shouting in russian
Queue the central europeans worrying about their temu purchases. Pretty sure this is gonna go just like russian gas did post 2014.
Honestly, probably if Xi and Putin both died in moscow, fascism would probably die with them, Trump alone isnt enough for fascism to survive.
Its not a britain problem, its a global problem, afd, reform, trumpists. Right wing propaganda is spreading like wildfire. Free speech has its downsides. Foreign powers can also say whatever they want to your people.
I think its a pretty good easy choice between being deported from russia or dying for russia. Hard to believe people choosing the latter.
I mean i believe they are being coerced by jail to fight, but deport or fight? Hard to believe.
Uhm, no thanks? Maybe fuck the ccp?
