To flee North Korea requires playing a long game, marry someone you hate.

The “I Want To Live” project is going to need a bunch of Korean translators.

To be fair, the Maginot line wasn’t breached. The Germans went around it.

Oh, well, that’s alright then.

20% of Ukraine is currently occupied by a hostile foreign power. 0% of Russia is occupied.

Also, Russian elections give whatever results Putin wants, so the status of the electorate doesn’t really matter in the first place there.

Well that seems unlikely, what are the odds that an airplane is going to be chased by a ship?

This is a bill that’s only just now being put up for signature.

At some point one of the big countries that’s being negatively by this is going to say “screw it, let’s try solar geoengineering.” The cost is actually pretty small on this scale.

Sure would be nice if there was a bunch of research to draw on when that time comes, instead of just flailing away.

As Churchill once famously said, democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.

I guess one of the nicest things about democracy is that it has a built-in mechanism for removing a government. It may not be reliable at getting good leaders in place, but at least when there’s a bad one it has a way of getting them back out again without having to go in shooting.

Israel elected those people. They bought what the peddlers of war were selling.

Oh no, it’s well known that people over 40 can’t operate drone controls.

Cool, but I dont care about Russia being wrong with their predictions, what I know is that Ukraine losing is a foregone conclusion at this point.

Their first prediction about how they were totally going to win was wrong. But their current prediction that they’re totally going to win is ironclad. Sure.

The issue is that Ukraine cant win and the West knows it.

Oh, right, Russia will be in Kiev in three days. Forgot about how unstoppable the Russian military is.

It doesn’t only serve to kill Ukrainians and only to benefit Western foreign policy goals. It also serves to keep Ukraine independent from Russia, which is saving Ukrainians and Ukrainian culture from oppression and genocide.

The Ukrainians are happy to be receiving Western support. They’re not mindless puppets, they’re choosing to continue to resist Russian invasion. They have their reasons for not wanting to be ruled by Putin.

I knew someone would say that.

Those steeply elliptical orbits would probably deorbit even quicker since a random impulse that boosts the apogee is likely to lower the perigee even more.

Kessler syndrome is only a threat to satellites that are orbiting within the debris, it’s not really a danger if you’re only passing through (as a ballistic missile would).

It’s okay, Starlink is in a low enough orbit that it’s basically Kessler-proof.

Yeah, that soldier has feral instincts and is physically better suited to living in the wild. Who would you rather be hunted by in the wilderness of the Donbas, some monkey-boy who’s play-acting at being a predator and is relying on fancy electronics in a vain attempt to enhance its senses, or that thing for whom it’s second nature?
