And a defeat early on doesn’t mean your side loses in the end. Russia plans to use the infrastructure of Ukraine after they take them, so it’s not like carpet bombing and artillery striking every square inch of the country is an option. They have to carefully capture and then hold territory and having civilians be able to work in the factories and power stations etc afterwards is kinda important. But you’re right, Russia could never conquer anyone. I’ll just sit here and Crimea river over those poor Russian troops

“Lost 9 generals” cause you just throw your generals out in the field like it’s 1542 and not control troop movements from behind the lines. Tell me you’re a mainstream media shill without saying you’re a mainstream media shill. Them taking cities are YOUR conditions of victory. If THIERS is to get military locations, weaken the opposing army and keeping critical infrastructure in place, then that’s what they’re going to focus on. I highly doubt any Russian gives 2 shits what you consider to be a military target. I give a fuck if they don’t take any cities. Does Ukraine have total control over their own air space? Are their ports free and able to move cargo and military vessels? Are their train tracks able to move goods unhindered by the enemy? Or are they arming grandmas because they have men pinned down under steel plants and the Reddit larper brigade hasn’t killed 6 million Russians each yet?

So your CNN take is that the US media said it’s going bad, Russia is failing hard and pay no attention to Ukraine arming grandmas and prisoners with ak’s, trannys and able bodied men aren’t allowed to flee because they need the manpower, these are TOTALLY signs of us winning guys!!!! I think I’d rather be called a Soviet russian moron than a complete fucking retard who thinks Russia loses every time like it’s a fucking rocky movie. Russia took Crimea in 2014 with Obama doing fuck all, Ukraine also has a Democrat president “watching its back”, aka launder my money but get ready to speak Russian. Don’t forget to send Ukraine another 33 billion dollars though.

But have succeeded in others. Do you honestly think a military only wins if they win every single battle? Fuck read up on history or just start with WW2 and see that things go back and forth a lot before the final victory. MacArthur got chased out of the Philippines, vowed to come back and eventually did. Shit is not a call of duty match where it’s over in 30 minutes. For all we know Russia might have plans to stay there and fuck around for 20 years like the USA did in Afghanistan. Show me Putin or an actual russian general laying out plans for this, with a timeline and show it failed completely and they achieved zero objectives and I’ll agree with you. But looking and soy boy pointing at a different president talking about troop movements does NOT equal russian plans being completely exposed.

You’re right I am ignoring that fact. It doesn’t seem relevant. They may have been given these orders to follow or a generalized plan of attack but any military worth its salt has already looked at their own defences and figured out where an enemy attack is most likely and expected and thus plans accordingly. These plans don’t show a timeline, they don’t show strategy and they don’t show the conditions of the war as the Russian see them. It’s just troop movements and strategic locations to attack. Not the timeline (2-6 weeks for this quadrant, 4 for this one etc), doesn’t show what conditions the Russians consider success and failure (we lost 30000 men and thousands of obselete equipment pieces but gained billions in resources, win achieved! Vs we didn’t get to quadrant 4 by October, we’re going to lose too much once the snow falls this has been a prolonged failure etc). Knowing some planned troop movements which honestly could be war gamed out in the space of a lazy afternoon isn’t showing your whole plan to the world. What are the Russians conditions for victory? What are their conditions for defeat? What is their best case and worst case time lines? These plans don’t show any of that so I still stand with my point that this isn’t showing the Russians “evil plans” have failed dismally. They have been taking steps to keep infrastructure in place so they can use it after, obviously quick steamrolling destruction be damned was never the original goal from the opening salvo here.

I would say close but no cigar. The Belarusian president outlining plans isn’t the same as a Russian general or prime minister(I think? Could be wrong on that positions title but tomato tomahto). If we had a Russian general being recorded and someone leaked the phone footage showing a blitzkrieg style plan, with say a 5-7 day invasion planned goal, and we see them struggling 2 months later, that would be a failure. A president from an allied but different nation showing some plans isn’t the same. That’s like seeing Trudeau authorize more tyranny and yelling “Look what Biden is up to!”

We feed the homeless to the hungry and solve those two problems, drop the remains off to be rolled under a tectonic plate so the organic material can be converted in petroleum which we can extract later creating jobs and extra “how dare you!”’s. Pedophiles and groomers can be classified as homeless and be used the same way, with or without wood chipping.

A failed invasion by whos metrics? If Russia planned to have to play a long game and use up old obsolete equipment to get massive resources in the end, is it still a failure? Or is it just a failure because the Call of Duty generation thinks battles are over after 15 minutes or 30 kills, whichever comes first? The only way we’d know for sure if it’s a failed invasion is if we have the Russian plans before us, look at what’s been done and what was planned and what happens and then we could know for sure. Anyone with an ounce of sense knows no battle plan survives contact with the enemy.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9119431/amp/Miami-doctor-58-dies-three-weeks-receiving-Pfizer-Covid-19-vaccine.html Here’s one. Took 5 seconds to find on google and we all know how far you can trust them to show all the negative results right away. There’s plenty more of you care to look.

Not surprised anymore. Just wondering when the last real election actually was.

I don’t want to advocate for theft of resources and cyber squatting, but with every major vendor going the way of Woke and Weird it gets harder to trust any corp to do the right thing.

Perhaps time to think outside the box. What about “malicious” code that injects itself into other servers and devices to run the search engine. World Wide Worm of search. No centralized server to attack, no company to sue, just a practically impossible to eradicate self perpetuating worm made to provide search results without a corporate or political bias?

Penetration levels is one area where this could be difficult. For smaller pieces, definitely possible but larger objects it would depend on how far you can get the waves in to rearrange the structure. Interesting none the less, never heard of jelly metals!

Simple just tell them it’s a booster helper. They’ll shove it up their own ass if you tell them Fauci said to.

Nothing like constantly changing rules to piss everyone off.

Thanks. All the more reason to ditch professional sports and do something productive with the time instead.

Thanks for the explanation fren, just reinforces why I never cared about football all the more though. From an outsiders perspective who only played the odd pickup game during recess and childhood group meetings, I never had the full rule set and never bothered to look them up. Pass interference is one of those rules that from the outside just seems stupid as hell. If defences goal is to keep the offence from scoring or making yards, preventing a receiver from getting the ball in the first place seems to be the best way to accomplish that. Is the rule seriously that you have to LET the designated receivers catch the ball and THEN you can hit him, but you can’t prevent him from getting the ball in the first place?

They were a lost cause to begin with. They don’t want to see reason they want to be offended and be right without any research. They listen to their TV and have heard what they want to. They’ll continue to live in ignorance until it affects them actually being able to live. And then it’s usually too late. Face the wall, we’re done with you.

Viva la honkalution!

I’m also Manitoban and I have trouble believing the vaxxed numbers. They’ve lied about everything else, from deaths to covid being deaths WITH covid all the way to the freedom convoy being terrorists. It’s only old people who are afraid of dying, kids who’s parents made them get it and cucks who took it to keep their jobs who’ve taken the “vaccine”.

The small town nearby me still has dialup for the debit machine at the General store. Cell service is spotty, and when the building is metal roof and sides you get barely to no cell signals through. I bought a cell booster for our farmhouse and that alone cost me $700, to use the cell phone for bitcoin transactions in small towns isn’t always feasible. My own area has very limited and oversold satellite internet for high speed and nothing else available yet. There’s supposed to be new service coming, but it’s been delayed on roll out. Was expected last autumn but here it is nearly spring next year and no arrival date to speak of yet. You’ve first hand experience with the banks being shady. I’ve firsthand experience with rural technology being behind the times. Having a unified worldwide currency when we don’t have worldwide standard conditions of technology feels like a major hurdle to me when the currency is terribly reliant on technology.

I’m in Canuckistan so if our freedom convoy is successful maybe I’ll enjoy some freedom but for now I hear ya. Can’t trust the banks, the police, the media or the government. Schools and higher education are brainwashing libtard hell holes and honest hardworking people are harder to find and vilified when they are. Sucks to hear about your banks all being corrupt, something needs to change but I don’t believe bitcoin will remain uncorrupted when there’s the whole world looking at it.

And long as people are given a choice and it’s brought in slow, adoption will go smooth. Businesses were used to dealing with cash and cheque, and when debt was introduced they still accepted cash and moved away from cheque’s due to the problems associated with them. Very few businesses don’t accept cash and all but the smallest businesses accept debit. If they can bring in bitcoin machines alongside the countries fiat, AND incorporate it into the same debit machine you’ll see ease of adoption. But if you have to have shopkeeps running two different machines, one for fiat one for crypto, keep track daily of what the crypto exchange is similar to say having an exchange rate for USD in a Canadian resterant, you’ve added a headache most small businesses don’t want to deal with. And another machine to cash out at the end of the day. At the end of the day, you just wanna go home not double your til work. Add in this is only for one crypto currency, bitcoin. If you want multiple coins usable for commerce, I can’t see it being done outside of major retailers. Walmart, Amazon, maybe car dealerships would take monero instead of bitcoin but the local small grocery store or mom and pop hardware store won’t want bitcoin/ethereum/monero/doge etc etc coins to keep track of.

No I’m not expecting the bank to just be nice and do that for me, I fully expect to file lawsuits along with others should a major bank screw over their customers. The difference between a crypto exchange and a bank is the bank doesn’t have anonymity. The owners and employees are known and held accountable.

We see eye to eye on possessions BEING in your possession (a slip of paper saying you own some gold is our vault is not you actually owning gold. You can either hold it and show me or you don’t own it.) The old saying used to be keeping your money under your mattress. People never used to fully trust banks and knew of their fuckery for ages, and kept their savings in their possession so it couldn’t be tampered with. I currently have very little in the bank, funds there to pay bills online etc but I prefer to have my resources secured at home. I used to try to carry $500 in cash on me in case machines went down and I needed gas for my vehicle or had to buy a new tire i wouldn’t be caught flat footed. Resource management is something they don’t seem to teach kids these days. Unless the exchange is you handing me a steak and I hand you a box of bullets, there’s going to be a middle man. Bitcoin requires something in the middle be it the block chain itself or the server or exchange we go through to do the exchange. It’s not an elimination of a middle man it’s just a different one. It may be one you trust more than the others but no everyone trusts it that way.

I see you’re not starry eyed and can actually see some of the draw backs. That’s great, many pushing crypto see it as digital Jesus here to save the world with no flaws, and that’s just not the case. As for the humanure lol, of course it has value! You can add a paper bag and leave it aflame on a doorstep for the entertainment value! In seriousness the food you consume gives you value and is a consumable good, and after you’ve consumed it, that’s end of transaction. You get your nutrition and calories and heal and repair your body with it, and excrete the waste and have no obligation to use it further. Most things you buy you expect to use more than once. We don’t have one time use tv’s for example. Repurposing items to extend the life of the resource is beneficial both for the environment(which if I’m honest is something I worry about the least) and for economical reasons. Using scrap metal to weld a plate on my tractor instead of going out and buying a new piece of steel is simply cheaper. When preparing for a “shit hits the fan” scenario, having everything be useful in more than one way is the only way to go. I can trade my alcohol I brewed at home for flour at a nearby Mennonite colony, distill it and use the alcohol to fuel my gasoline engines in vehicles, garden tiller etc, or I can simply drink it like I do. Raw goods have value in their initial state and can be used for trade or in other ways. Bitcoin simply can not. It’s an exchange token, nothing more. When prepping for the world going to hell, I don’t spend much time having a stash of digital tokens to order stuff from abroad since I can’t count on there being distribution networks to get me said goods, electricity to power the network or even my local area. And I can’t count on local people taking it since no one was taking it before things went to hell. Having goods and bullets stocked and prepared to me is a far better bet than gold or bitcoin. You can’t eat gold, you can’t eat bitcoin, but you can trade a side of beef for flour eggs and potato’s. Using bitcoin instead of USD for online exchanges may be in the cards but for day to do transactions on the local level, adoption will be painfully slow in rural areas, if it is at all. Look how long it took just to get interac/debit machines widespread. Cities are one thing but most of the world isn’t in a city.
