Not really. Europe would experience a temporary shortage and soaring prices but that's it. The alternative is to let dictator Putin go unpunished, which means he will in the future likely attack another country. There is no doubt about it. Without a strong deterrent and corresponding internal opposition, dictator Putin would seize the first opportunity as long as (in his mind) he'd be reasonably certain that other Eu…

I don’t think you understand how important the gas is in Europe in winter. People will quite literally freeze to death in their homes without it.

Not at that time of the year, we won't. There are reserves still. If we don't stop this madness now, we may freeze in 1-5 years running away from war moving through Latvia, Estonia, Poland etc.

But Germany thinks it will save its economy still buying gas from RUS, so there's that...

I am still learning how to code certain things in JavaScript, I'll take a look on the site to see how this is implemented and will record a few weeks of response times so I can analyze the variance.

Sounds like interesting research!

Russian visitors of my foss project ( https://www.filestash.app/ ) now see the message of peace address to them by president Zelenskyy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fwzb_JX7u04

Frankly, I think that's a much wiser approach than escalating the situation further with DDos attacks.

> asking hackers and cybersecurity experts to submit an application via Google docs, listing their specialties, such as malware development, and professional references. So it's effectively a free honey pot for Russia to get information on Ukranian cyber security professionals and a free pass to infiltrate them?

Considering the state officials that are publicly speaking about it, no. But it sure is disingenuous using something as low sec like Google docs. At least get people to submit it via GPG or something...

They'll get free vetting from the CIA.

You missed the detail that Flynn was pardoned....of talking to the Russian ambassador and lying about it, to US law enforcement.

I didn't. Also, could you respond in full e.g. "Flynn was pardoned by Trump, meaning that..." so I don't have to guess what you mean. EDIT: ok it was done, thanks. Although I'd add he was caught not disclosing talking to an ambassador (he is afaik allowed to do so), and then accused of lying about it to the FBI . Per my post, there was a lot of politicking in that incitement that by itself would have justified the pa…

What politicking there is, on a active and retired US military travelling to Russian since 2013, having high level contacts with the Russian government, and then lying about it, to its own country Law enforcement?

> Imagine if Mexico invaded Texas in 1950 and 'won'. A lot of Americans would want to 'take it back'. Ironically it happened the other way round.

Yes, but this quote leaves out the distinction they made. The GP goes on to note the difference caused by who the people in the region support. In real life, as far as I can tell, most people in that region ended up supporting independence or later accession to the US, which seems slightly more similar to the more complex Ukraine situation in the GP comment than Mexico simply wanting Texas back.

Most people in that region (Northern Mexico) were immigrants from the US.

"The "official" news in russian federation are all fake and we believe it is better to shut them down!"

Now the people are the censors? In the fog of war, how can we judge information if we have no access to the information?

Is it fake news that the U.S. said that they would not let N.A.T.O. into Ukraine?

As with all technologies, they come with responsibility. Acting as self censors is just as bad as letting the government do it for you.

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but think of what happened at the begging of the Iraq war and the lies of WMDs.
