@TurboNormie one of the undermentioned aspects of the current war in Ukraine is that it's reminiscent (on a large enough scale, the Donbass has been one long disaster since 2014) of the limited warfare that the ancien régime was known for (pre-Napoleon and trying to ignore the 30 years war.)
The Russians, it seems, have shown more restraint than the US and UK did in the Middle East, likely for simple reasons of proximity and ethnic kinship.
If warfare is inevitable better it is managed somewhat locally, rather than huge power-blocks going toe to toe for half a decade.
one of the reasons I consider the EU a bad idea, despite being European - I'd rather we remained fractious and flexible enough to mediate between east and west. The alternative appears to be some sort of tri-block forever war à la 1984

Good Hank thread, it summarizes why I disliked All Quiet on the Western Front even as a kid.
“Why do we fight? Was is, like, really bad ok?”
You fight because there are bloodthirsty, powerful men on the other side who wish to bring great ruin upon your nation. You face the horrors of war so your people don’t face the horrors of forced child prostitution as the result of the brutal “peace” of the Treaty of Versailles and corresponding Weimar period. Even as a kid this was obvious from the most basic historical facts that even the Hitler (History) Channel would admit to.

#feditips little known fact, but the word "four" is the british spelling of the conjunction "for". Same as "colour" and "color", "armour" and "armor", "favour" and "favor", and so on.
> Elon Musk would be willing to pay you super bigly bucks if you can successfully dispatch me because I REFUSE to procreate with him. He is disgusting. There isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't send at least one person to try to kill me. It is like his deranged idea of flirting and demanding my attention. He spends as much time obsessing over me and trying to kill me and anyone I love than he does working on 'his' companies.

Elon owns Twitter for a day now
I still cannot log in without a phone number.
So, I see that as a total fail.
"Now Moscow uses a false pretext to block the grain corridor which ensures food security for millions of people. I call on all states to demand Russia to stop its hunger games and recommit to its obligations."
where is the Uke leadership getting such ungodly amounts of cocaine

NEW - The deputy editor-in-chief at Germany's Bild newspaper calls on Elon Musk to reinstate Trump's Twitter account.
"It was wrong even then to lock him out. Quasi the definition of arbitrariness and hypocrisy."
