@kravietz "Memes for distribution in Ukrainian publics" hope these are good because in my experience these people have a fairly peculiar taste when it comes to memes and shitposts in general
@kravietz also: what would surrender look like? How could it be achieved?
A full surrender seems unlikely. And even if it would occur, with e.g. occupation, it would not be the end of Putin's woes. Occupation is costly. And would be a strain on russia. Like a half-truce. Mobilzed will return home. War economy will need to shift.
I see only outcomes where russia becomes less stable. The point is that there are outcomes where they will drag the rest of the he World with them...
@kravietz Great article! The "people living in different conceptual reality" really bugs the hell out of me. Putinis decisions are clearly based on fabric of reality that has no connection to the real world. How do you have a useful discussion with such people?
Nevertheless, people are going to try. Big corporations in europe are really yearning for cheap russian gas.
@fuchsiii@foone Meh .. this garbage? You do not need to accept the #GNU GPL to use a program licensed under the GPL. This is just FUD and nonsense at this point, easily debunked.
People who bitch and moan about the dialogs are just FUDing.
@scott And kudos, seriously .. for taking the comment so well. I got plenty of friends who cannot speak up about the current state of things in the US ... they are all pacified, given up, or something in-between.
It might be a thing that makes me most angry, people (seem) to not voice their frustration enough from the Dem side. It is all timid ... Dunno how to stuff it in a toot.
@scott you (maybe not you as an individual) said it last round. This is just coping or head in sand …. And I find it from the perspective of a European as “what did you (again, not you as an individual but as a country) expect when voting for Hitler?” We did this 80 some years ago, my grand parents had to fight those wars and my uncles and aunts got sent to the gulags and chambers. Ukraine is repeating the history. @danwentzel
