You're not getting good data from most of Europe either. At this point hardly anyone cares and death causes are reported as they were before 2020: pneumonia, dementia, cardiac arrest etc. Whether these were caused or worsened by COVID isn't anyone's concern.

Oh I know, but I wanted to make sure no one has any grounds to accuse me of prophecies or something worse. Also the precise date doesn't matter.

How about the same but about the world? If I gathered together all the places I visited, all documentaries I watched and all conversations I had it adds up to a mere glance at a myriad of different worlds. Every single small region in the world has more history and social and natural structures than any fantasy book. Living is like pulling individual pixels from a 4000000000000...000k photo which then changes every second.

My brain explodes sometimes, but the idea of fractals helps. There is still immense value in perceiving this small collection of pixels as they build up to more and more connected structures.

That's a 200IQ move from RSA. This court is embedded in the United Nations so if Israel wanted to ignore it they would have to withdraw from the UN and this is probably too much even for them. So we're up for a grim, but potentially entertaining festival of mental acrobatics, as the pawns sent by Netanyahu pretend that the anti-genocide convention is not actually an IDF checklist. Because it sure does read like one.

This opinion of yours sounds reasonable and comes from an understanding of how the wars and dictators work. I am not qualified enough to say if your understanding is 100% correct. But your comment does not openly misinterpret strategies and does not obfuscate war aims, unlike the article which does both.

Not to mention that if we were to follow Russian war reporting the Ukrainian air force has been already destroyed twice over. So why start a massive costly campaign just to hit these particular units? Because that's how facist propaganda works: the enemy is at the same time hopelessly inept ("we destroyed 367281 Ukrainian airplanes") and terrifyingly powerful ("we need to spend huge number of expensive weapons to be able to even target these airplanes")

I don't see how is it "neutral-ish" when it blatantly misrepresents Russian intentions. The complete subjugation of Ukraine was evident from the propaganda pieces released just after the incursion but when it was clear it won't go according to the Russian plan they were removed - and these were non-veiled progenocidal nazi worded. Russia considers Ukraine a "rowdy, breakaway region" inhabited by ethnic Russians whose brains were washed by "CIA-financed fash government". Evidence of plans of ethnic cleansing were found in towns liberated from Russians, the program of mass child kidnappings is also somewhat more sinister than mere "Finlandization".

But let's say I fell for the US propaganda with the abovementioned points. The piece in OP suggests that Russian missile strikes are designed to overwhelm the Ukrainian air defence and cripple their airforce afterwards. Well, the evidence from 2022/23 shows that the plan is to cripple Ukrainian civilian infrastructure by deliberately targeting power plants. We saw it in action and further confirmed by the Russian propaganda channels openly calling for "freeze them out" anti-civilian strategy.

This is not "neutral-ish", this is peddling the Russian narrative wrapped in pretty words.

We need fertiliser and will need more of it as time passes. Also Norwegians are looking for a replacement for their north sea oil extraction.

Musky and Bezos are probably well aware of this so they happily pour billions into these systems. Whoever gets them up first is essentially taking up space others may want to use later on. The endgame is probably "make the world dependent on MY sat system and hike rates". And if the countries wanted to lay cable? Force the world to bail me when the overblown constellations collapse financially - basically make the kessler the future authorities' problem. Privatise profits, socialise losses, fuck everyone else because I got mine. If things go well the men in charge won't even be alive anymore when shit hits the fan.

Care to elaborate why is this relevant?

Instant sub from me the moment I saw your content in the feed. I sorely lacked this exact kind of information - good news but on a wider than personal scale.

Oh and I forgot an important one:

There is no way this could be prevented!!!!
