When your enemy has strategic nukes, the extreme ways to respond are:

A, not taking the nuclear threat seriously.

B, give up.

Saying we shouldn't arm Ukraine because of nukes is close to option B.

Nukes may go off, but if arming Ukraine is the trigger, than we were likely to witness nuclear war because we wouldn't accept option B, rather than any weapon system giving Ukraine an advantage. If that is the case, nuclear war has most likely already been decided.

The real game is to make those in Russia believe that backing down works towards their goals. If they hope in 20 years the US will fall apart, they may wait, or maybe someone will kill Putin and take over Russia, being rewarded by less sanctions.

Long story short, nuking Ukraine don't benifit Russia more than it will hurt it.

I am not an expert

I don't think the Marathon ip is big enough to ride on the name. The trailers don't give a Marathon vibe anyway.

My partner and I love Halloween but our community has few activities besides a couple of haunted houses. We're considering spending Halloween week somewhere more festive and are looking for some recommendations. We both grew up in the Midwest with corn mazes and night markets, but we are open to spending time in Mexico for Day of the Dead. What are your suggestions?

I tried SimpleX but the VPN kill switch on my phone prevents syncing with my computer.

I use telegram primarily as a note taking app with sync features.

Occasionally I send files to friends, so having easy set up for tech illiterate would be great.

This would be true internet funeral if it didn't have the bottom text.

I was considering getting a LG G5. Some models support an older version of LineageOS and I love the replaceable battery.

What do you recommend?

I believe they hate him because he's perfect, which is ironic since at at a bomb factory, you particularly don't want duds.

The issue isn't interviewing Putin, but that this whole event is propaganda. The BBC has been trying to get an interview since the start of the war.

I'm surprised that there isn't an open source guide on how to be an effective eco terrorist and what the most vulnerable global chock points are. People have gone to war over less.

I'm suprised Ukraine hasn't targetted Russian ships in port. It can't be to hard to get real time info on a boats location but my assumption is for as damning the Russian navys long rang attacks are, the long range Ukranian strike options are limited and destroying the black sea fleat is not the best use of their stock.

It could also play to Ukraines favor if in a negosiation Ukraine commits to allowing Russia to remove its ships safely in exchange for a relitively bloodless taking of Crimea, but that would be a while away, and would rely on a Russia thats willing to negosiate, but Ukraine can always destroy the ships on a later date.
