Yeah, good idea. Go convince someone who already agrees with you.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 5 points 9 months ago

I don't need to convince you of anything, reality will be impossible to ignore even for the most propagandized segments of the public soon enough.

If only everyone saw the world as clearly as you. /s

Just curious. Do you have a gun to your head, or do you choose to do it?

Do you have a gun to your head,

You clearly do. You wouldn't be so gung-ho about the "rules based order's" perpetuation if you didn't. And when your precious crackerverse is without allies, and finally without extraneous colonial holdings to keep plundering, that's exactly when that gun will go off. Can't wait to watch it happen.

I love how people like you keep acting smug after being wrong about literally everything for the past two years. Really highlights your intellectual prowess.

[-] Tinidril@midwest.social 0 points 9 months ago

Wow, you've followed everything I posted for two whole years, even through a platform change. I'm kinda flattered.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

Thanks for providing another example of your vast intellect in action.

How's the oil export business going? Winning sure looks a lot like burning to me.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

Oil is only a small percentage of the Russian economy, so it's pretty funny how people who guzzle propaganda still think Russia is a gas station with nukes.

[-] Tinidril@midwest.social 1 points 9 months ago

The rest is just as vulnerable.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Vulnerable to what exactly, Russia has already pivoted its economy away from the west and towards Asia. If Russia was vulnerable at any time that was during the period of transition during the first year. What we're seeing now is that Europe needed Russia in order for its economy to function, but Russia doesn't need Europe. If you still can't wrap your head around this, then keep on coping while you still can.

Vulnerable to Russia's inability to protect it's airspace or protect it's infrastructure from internal adversaries. It's not a problem that Putin can just throw more meat at. It requires the kind of functional technical solutions that Russia has failed at beyond even the expectations of even someone as blinded by western propaganda as me.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

Aww, you keep on coping there little buddy.

[-] Tinidril@midwest.social 0 points 9 months ago

I'll sit here "coping" while you put out oil fires. I can live with that arrangement.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Your shithole country doesn't even need to be at war to have massive disasters because your infrastructure is collapsing 😂 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/04/ohio-train-derailment-east-palestine-health-chemical-symptom

Russia doesn't have derailments? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Russian_rail_accidents

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

oh boy, now let's compare that with the burger empire 🤡 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_railroad_accidents

[-] Tinidril@midwest.social -1 points 9 months ago

Well, we do have about twice as much rail for twice as many people.

In any case, this is hardly relevant to the fact that Russia faces increasing resistance from inside it's own borders, and it has no ability to realistically resist. That's going to impact Russia's staying power. Ross in the number of oligarchs falling out of windows, and it kinda looks like Putin is feeling the pressure.
