@liztai Anyone who knows Russian will have heard Putin say the same things on countless occasions. His understanding of history is not particularly good, but he is definitely passionate about it.
Can a war between Russia and NATO really happen within the next few years? Recently there have been several warnings from politicians and high-level military leaders. In this video I discuss what on earth they are talking about, and what such a war might look like. And I think it's an important discussion, because the risk is bigger than many people assume. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY7GPBSyONU
Russia has a year's head start on the realization that the war in Ukraine will take a long time. In Ukraine and the West there were very big hopes invested in the summer offensive, and I largely see the current debate about war fatigue as an expression of the renegotiation that must take place in light of the disappointing results. #Ukraine#Russia https://youtu.be/jSwIAVelw9o
@zimowski@goatsarah You need to follow hundreds to get a lively timeline. In the beginning just follow everyone that seems vaguely interesting, and then clean up later. I know it takes some work – we have all been there. I follow almost 800 accounts, and I obviously didn't find those people on day one either.
@zimowski@goatsarah Ok, go ahead and do what you want, then. But it does seem to me that you don't understand how things end up in your timeline in a non-algorithmic system.
@goatsarah@da_667 I do have a 2017 iPad that I may have to replace because the battery is old. But in general it’s also not an issue for me. And thinking of it, if I had the choice between upgrading the iPad or purchasing a new battery, I’d probably buy a new iPad anyways.
@goatsarah@da_667 And if phones start drowning at the pace they did 10 years ago, then it will increase the amount of electronic waste instead of reducing it.
@aurochs@randahl Aside from the things I mention in the film? I’m not sure Putin has much of a plan. The war is the new normal, both in Ukraine and as an existential struggle with the West.
@aurochs@randahl At the outset of the war, he of course had an idea about what he wanted to achieve. It was to turn Ukraine into a copy of Belarus. But this objective is obviously failed, and he has not been able to formulate new goals that make sense.
How is the war going? In this video I give an overview of the situation after the winter. In short, I think #Russia made a bad decision when they launched a winter offensive, and it looks like #Ukraine is going into the spring in the better condition. https://youtu.be/EWKwPeSnvTE
