good luck with that, they’ve been trying for 20 years

From what I read the importance is only for Bakhmut itself, if you look on the map the city is just a point, we are talking about 6km of a 140km front line (from Bakhmut to the border with Russia). Unlike the Kerch Bridge, there are several other roads and railways to carry out logistics in the region, it is not as if this were the only option. Another detail is that these roads are so close to the front line that they all can be harassed by any artillery system in operation on both sides. but what do I know? I’m just spitting out what I read, but the consensus seems to be that Bakhmut has consumed and is consuming more resources than it is worth, and I have read several times by different analysts the comparison between Bunker Hill and Bakhmut.

It’s their battle of Bunker Hill. Bakhmut was a large city in the area but without great strategic value and and the Russian high command ordered it to be captured. The Ukrainian army saw this opportunity to wear out the Russian army, which used the Wagner group and low-quality troops (convicts and minorities) in a meat grinder. After months of friction in the area, what was left was a position that cost more than it should have been to be captured and that now needs to be defended with the remainder of the troops and the withdrawal of the Wagner group from the area worsened the situation.

I feel that you are not arguing in good faith, because right afterwards I clarified my point.

You certainly can, and I’m not using that as an excuse, just a historical example.

I have nothing against the people of China, but why would I learn Chinese? I mean from an objective point of view, in how many places will I be able to speak Chinese? I can go online now and talk to Japanese, Germans, French, Spanish, Russians people in English and even if they can’t speak very well, most of them will understand at least something of what I’ve written. All the major programming languages are in English, all scientific papers have at least an abstract in English. It’s purely a question of relevance.

If the real world was civilization, English would have already won by Culture.

“It should be the turn for foreigners to learn Chinese,” what an idiotic view, a complex language that doesn’t adapt to current technologies and is only spoken by one country. Have you ever see how difficult it was to create a keyboard for Chinese? CCP is a disgrace for the world and specially for China.

I hope he suffers a lot

There’s also the map incident, where China redrew the map and put islands that had already been agreed between the two countries as their own. I suppose china is smelling blood and like every dictator it only respects force.

And even after reading this there will be some idiot defending google. Just today I saw one suggesting that the anti-competition lawsuit the US has filed is because they’re being persecuted by the government because they didn’t do something the government wanted them to do.

high quality shitpost! +1

“Either way I don’t intend to pursue this conversation any further” then there’s nothing more to be said, why answer if you don’t want to discuss it? do you want attention?

“Religion has nothing to do with any of this” fck… what does it have to do with then? what practical reason do you have to force people to follow rules from an old book full of bullshit?

I suspect that the reason for him not supplying russia is much simpler, there are sanctions against russia by the US and I doubt that he will be able to get paid for the service legally, and he knows that if he does this his image will be obliterated.

so now the exception is the majority? And Islamophobe it was created to deflect any criticism of islam, I say it’s wrong to throw a bomb and kill 12 because someone drew a picture of mohamed and I’m islamophobic, if I say it’s wrong to give 74 lashes because someone doesn’t agree with your religion and I’m islamophobic, if I say it’s barbaric to behead someone because they spoke against islam and I’m islamophobic, “everything I don’t like is is islamophobia”. Come up with better arguments instead of using buzzwords.

And I’m against all religions, especially Abrahamic ones, don’t think Islam is special just because I’m criticizing it here.

I know, I’m just refuting this ridiculous rhetoric that it would be complicit in acts of war by offering a service that has no direct action in the attacks, starlink is as complicit as the sea itself, since the drones are sailing on it. By that logic, Audi would be complicit in a hit-and-run. And as the provider of a service, which he knew the purpose of, he becomes complicit when he decides which attacks can or cannot take place using its service, he is literally making war decisions.

The problem with your point is that he knew to whom and for what he was offering the starlink services. If someone goes to a gun store and tells you they need a gun to shoot their neighbor, you can’t complain that they killed their neighbor with the gun you sold them.

Several comments on the “real” Islam, sad…

“This is wrong by an islamic standpoint” why don’t you go and say that in Iran, Brunei, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan (or practically any country with an islamic majority), your point of view will surely be much appreciated. Oh and do you remember when a bomb was thrown at the headquarters of a French magazine, killing 12 people, because they drew mohamed? Good times…

“cause Americans pushed them to this” the first or the second time? Americans pushed then for Georgia and Siria too? It’s certainly the US faulty too for the disastabilizations that Russia is causing in Africa. They certainly pushed China to create conflict with indonesia, Philippines, malasya and Taiwan too, right? Go back to lemmygrad, US is shit as fck but don’t blame them for imperialism and land grab by authoritarian regimes.

so bOth SIdEs aRe BaD?
