India is financially supporting colonization of Ukraine by doing business with Russia.

India is supporting colonization.

Well… India is still a partner so Putin still has that…

You forgot to add the /s in the end…

Why choose when you can have both?

Russia have claimed both that the regime and parts of the military were Nazis.

How could you have missed that the only reason Russia started on their glorious 3 day special military operation was to liberate Ukraine from evil Nazi Jews ?

Russia will make changes to its doctrine on the use of nuclear weapons in response to what it regards as Western escalation in the war in Ukraine, state media quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov as saying on Sunday.

Oooh… Someone’s realized that a substantially smaller country with Jewish Nazis in the government is way more competent when it comes to specialized military operations?

This is more a sign of desperation than a sign of either strategic military confidence or a booming economy.

Moscow accuses the West of using Ukraine as a proxy to wage war against it, with the aim of inflicting a “strategic defeat” on Russia and breaking it apart.

Dude, you’re making yourself more important than you actually are. No one cares about you.

Edit: if you’re quoting something, it’s kind of expected that you copy the correct quite… duh…

It might but wind based energy production won’t go away. It has already proven its place in energy production. While there’s a lot of people that had invested in fossil and nuclear, there’s a lot of investors in wind energy too.

Wind energy production will just get more efficient and getting closer to being CO2 neutral in the future.

…no expansion of the battlefield…

Funny how China emphasizes this after Russia started to lose land to Ukraine. It’s not like they’ve been pushing this very hard with Russia for the last two years.

Li noted the incursion and criticized Western support for Ukraine. “All sides are worried that the West continues to relax conditions for Ukraine to strike the Russian territory with aided weapons,” Li said. “And recent developments on the battlefield confirmed these kind of worries"

Funny how Li have failed to conclude that China could have put an end to Russia raping and murdering civilian men, women and children 2 years ago by just not continue to supply Russia the parts needed to manufacture Russian weapons.

But they didn’t.

China, you’re drunk. Go home.

There’s no greater sign of the Russian economy booming than Russia using ceased money from 2022 to purchase ammo from North Korea.

TBF because of Europe, Russian earnings per cubic ton of delivered gas have decreased substantially.

So while Europe have been working against Russia being able to finance their aggression against Ukraine, India’s actions this far has strengthened Russia ability to continue to target Ukrainian civilians.

The Russian aggression against Ukraine is less of an European proxy war than a Russian aggression against Europe.

Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in 2022, prompting western sanctions, India has imported large volumes of discounted Russian oil.

India paid money for Russian oil. Money that they knew would finance bombs killing Ukrainian civilians.

India is a true “friend”…

Did anybody bother to look at the numbers?

I checked the stats for the last 4 years here and it looks really strange. Statistics isn’t my thing… But it looks like it’s wise to be cautious and not to fully trust the numbers.

Around the beginning of last year there was a huge dip in the Windows market share that seemed to be correlating with a peek in “unknown”. Windows then catched up in a somewhat erratic way.

Mac OS also shows a weird behavior. Starts at 16%, up to 21% and the down to 14% between October and November…

It’s not likely that a huge number of people decided to buy a Mac and then trash it one month later. Same but opposite goes for the windows stats.

I think it looks like there is an uncertainty of more than the total market share Linux is shown to have…

Not saying that Linux isn’t increasing on desktop market share. Just saying that numbers seen to have quite a bit error margin and to be cautious if referring to these numbers.

In my experience there always someone willing to create everything from homebrew software to software activation. Especially if there’s some money to make on it.

The people of Bucha got a taste of the “Russian spiritual and moral values” and we will not forget!

The hardware has full functionality from day one. The limitation is in what software you are using.

Active suspension is not a hardware feature, it’s software collecting data from sensors and by analysing the data being able adjusting the suspension to “optimal performance”. Just because certain hardware can be controlled by software doesn’t mean that you will get whatever software features you like to have.

BMW would claim that “BMW Smooth Comfortable Cloud Ride Software” is included free of charge with the purchase of a BMW.

BMW would also claim that they offer “BMW Hyper Advanced AI Premium Sensation Masculine Active Road Experience Pro Suspension” as an optional subscription for alpha males and people with too much money in their pockets.

The outcome of what you are suggesting will be a slight change in the phrasing of the product offering at the most.

With access to the keys, the owner can subscribe to the BMW solution, unlock the features in breach of the agreement with BMW by not subscribing or get a software solution for the car from another provider.

While a honorable move, “never” doesn’t exist in a world based on quarterly financials…

So you purchase ordinary suspension but get active suspension that works exactly like ordinary suspension and cost like active suspension to service…

It’s time we get legislation that gives the consumer access to all encryption key pairs used in the product they purchased.

(For you who don’t know what encryption key pairs are used for: they are used for the software to know that a change order, like “activate suspension”, is legit and therefore will be executed.)

Ukraine doesn’t have to threaten Russia as a whole.

Ukraine can already reach quite deep into Russia. As Ukraine advances deeper into Russia, the deeper can they strike.

It’s not just cannon fodder that Putin has to redistribute. For example, hw much air defence do you think Ukraine will find the further they advance from the frontline in the contested areas?

Russia has to move air defence closer to important infrastructure in places they didn’t have to protect before. That air defence has to be taken from somewhere. My bets are not on Russia having a shitload of air defence units elsewhere that they can afford moving away from wherever they currently are.

Every unit of Russian air defence moved from Ukraine back home to Russia is making Ukraine closer to attack the Russian supply lines of the front lines. That’s just one of all the things Putin is facing right now because of Ukraine advancing into Russia.

You’re right, Ukraine doesn’t have the luxury of time and men but they are surely hurting Russia badly with what they have. Even if the risk of Ukraine losing more than just the contested areas is big, they do not sell themselves cheaply.

Russia will pay for years and years for the “3-4 days to Kiev”.

Putin will always be in the history books as the only one that has united so many European countries…

While the Ukrainian attack has revealed weaknesses in Russian defences and changed the public narrative of the conflict, Russian officials said Ukraine’s “terrorist invasion” would not change the course of the war.

The tone in official Russian statements the last 2-3 weeks tells us something completely different.

Shit ain’t fun no more when it shows that Ukraine were able to choose allies that are better than China, India and Iran, right?

Things might still end badly for Ukraine but they will not end up selling themselves cheap. Even if Russia were able to gain full control over Ukraine, the cost of keeping the control is way too high compared to what Russia can afford.
