  • Backed by arms shipments from the US and their own production, I’m confident that Israel has the capability of achieving some of their military goals.

    However, the world’s trust that the Israel government and military command has lost for their people will be much harder to recover. Unless there’s eventually a trial on the scale of Nuremberg charging Netanyahu, the ruling party, responsible government officials, domestic and foreign military contractors, settlers and soldiers for crimes against humanity, I cannot trust that Israel means peace when it speaks it, or that any goods and services coming from Israel aren’t rigged with bombs and malware.

    I have nothing against Jewish people, but the atrocities committed by the Israeli government tarnish the reputation of Isreal’s people and businesses. And as a Canadian, I bear some responsibility for not pressuring my government strongly enough to condemn the terrible conduct over the past year either.




  • to signal boost to the west.

    Yes it does that too.

    From my understanding the losses occurred mainly from miscommunications between one group sent in to relieve another, or drone and air units with jammer units and that kind of thing. Macroscopic strategy decisions such as the Kursk incursion are not related to that. Clearly it was planned well as intelligence kept it under wraps until its execution. The execution of the defense was poorer on the eastern front such as intergroup communication problems, inadequately prepared defense lines and so on.



  • The diversion is more significant than the article makes it out to be.

    On face value, Kursk region isn’t that important to Moscow and they’ve got the strategic points like the nuclear plant on lock. However it’s hard to deny the value of the morale boost that Ukraine desperately needed, even as it has risks as with anything.

    The choice for Ukraine is to keep on the defensive, slowly losing its ground, or the same thing happens but Putin is humiliated on the world stage by Ukraine, taking Russian military high command by surprise whether it forces their hand or not.

    The Kursk incursion does not change losses caused by poor military coordination present from Ukrainian and Russian command structures.


  • (Semi-cd) Smart widow mine placement and a bit of micro definitely helped the Marines take the forward bases in the Kursk sector.

    We’ve yet to see how much attack-move it will take for the Zerglings to reach the Pokrovsk base. (/semi-cd)

    But as I have stated before as Executor, really the best thing is to just go for the base trade. Trade Moskvá for Kiev, swap your entire territory for the other and everyone’s equally satisfied. We’ve arbitrated several conflicts in the local galaxy this way before, and so far no one has gotten upset enough to usurp the mighty Golden Armada. I’d consider this successful negotiation.







  • They nearly had me with the developer sponsorship joke too. In this video the point is made that not every new development is geared toward living compared to stretching profit as much as possible within regulations. Overall they make the case that:

    subsidized/affordable housing > vastly increasing the supply in any way > doing nothing and restricting any development.

    They also take issue with modern shoebox apartments in highrises be called luxury housing, when there is more pushback against high density development compared to single family mansions which should be the real luxury development.
