Very true. Money was and will remain essential with a difference that producing one's own ammunition is cheaper than buying it, plus one can sell the surplus and the expertise.

I'm just hoping the swamp puppet nazis will not win fast enough and Ukraine will manage to reach selfsustainable production. I mean I hope they will not win at all, but it's a thin one.

Definitely, with a nuance. Last year Ukraine claimed to have produced 30% of it's weapon needs, this year it's at 50%. The tables are turning.

Шановні. Глибокий вдих і видих. До перемоги ще далеко і багато роботи. Дуже багато. Але шанс є і він вимагає працювати гуртом.

Soviet Union was never a communist or even a socialist state. Tyrannical oligarchy with slaves, casts, kings, you name it. Disregard for human life is cultural for them. Traditional values.

The irony. Before llamacpp the only way to run llama was using other and on Nvidia GPUs. Then llamacpp expanded to other models, introduced gguf, added backends to run on GPUs and now we're taking about running qwen using just python on a single Nvidia. Ouroboros is complete.

From what I understand, this is the next best thing. If the refineries cannot accept the raw because of the damage, the pumps cannot just keep pumping, they have to be stopped and reactivating them is expensive both in time and money.

The title is factually incorrect. Instead of

Zelensky denounces the UNSC for not launching a military operation against Iran

It should have been something like

Zelensky denounces the UNSC for failing to pass a resolution about Hormuz and for having no means to enforce international safety.

Please change the title to reflect what he actually said. Otherwise this post will be deleted.

I think it's the literal of "crosses" as Ukraine is using those on equipment.

Sure, here's the proposal:

  1. Definitive military defeat of the ruzzian invaders and restoration of Ukraine borders
  2. Allow them to sell stuff again, but as part of their capitulation agreement, make them keep 10% of profits, and use the other 90% for the restoration of the damage caused by them in Ukraine. Keep that in place until an agreed amount is paid off

Here's a method. When facing a choice where all options seem to be good, pick a random one. As an extension, if, after picking, you don't like the selection, eliminate it and pick another random.

Repeat until good enough, otherwise again pick a random one, but this time final.

Since they all are ok, there no wrong choice, thus a random is still ok and better than no choice.

 

By degrading a near-peer adversary’s military capability, gaining unprecedented battlefield intelligence, and accelerating the testing and development of advanced weapons systems, the U.S. is realizing a Return on Strategic Investment (ROSI) of 321% to 797%

2.5 years to halve the reserves, the spend cannot be linear and I also don't think they need to get to zero to have a collapse.

... The economy is being funded by the cash reserves, which increases inflation, which leads to another round of interest rate hikes to combat inflation, which makes it harder to borrow money, which is necessary for economic growth. Eventually, the cash reserves will run out. It took 2.5 years to deplete half the Russian reserves. Russia withdrew $37 billion to cover deficits in December 2022. It withdrew $20 billion to cover deficits in December 2023. It only has $54 billion left.

 

If anything, russia is showing clear signs of sunk-cost fallacy

In today's #vatniksoup I'll talk about Russian Nazis and introduce Russian neo-Nazi movements and paramilitary groups like Rusich and PMC Wagner. They're best-known for being funded by the Kremlin and being responsible for the "denazification" in Ukraine.

 

So basically, we're waiting for a (hopefully very soon) systemic collapse of moscovite army since they bet both their attack and defence on artillery
