#132That’s wild. The amount of stress dealing with these attacks at any time of the day/night would likely age me by a decade. Then still expect to grind at work in a few hours or the following day.
It is wild, has been since Feb 2022, it's also "the new normal" we really want to get out of. (Not desperately enough to give in tho). Also keep in mind that this is only one of the stressors associated with war. Others include hearing about civilian casualties every week, reading and hearing horror stories from people who escaped occupation or were liberated (e.g. Bucha, Kherson...), learning about friends and acquaintances falling in battle, military draft, uncertain, but likely dire future prospects and the list goes on.
So yeah, days go like years. Don't repeat our mistakes and write to your representatives.

Let's not exaggerate. There are APIs that distribute the list of oblasts (regions) that are deemed to be under attack (for example https://alerts.com.ua/ ). The only problem is that you don't know if the attack is expected in 10 minutes, or 6 hours, and this is something that the military intelligence has, and could share with a small amount of effort. They effectively already share it via people running those channe…
The problem is that you let the enemy know the detail of your intel. Using compartmentalization, they can locate leaks and determine how you are getting the intel. As a military, you never want to give that away. Looking at WWII, the UK/US were able to decrypt messages daily from the Germans (thanks to Turing!), but they pretended they couldn't so the Germans wouldn't change their encryption scheme.
But they already share it, just in a messy format. No need to philosophise.

What a stupid and ignorant take. Russia is invading, murdering, torturing and committing genocide. The only thing a "peaceful resolution" would accomplish is: 1. Show Russia that aggression is profitable. 2. Give Russia time and opportunity to prepare for the next attack. Russia doesn't give a rats ass about any promises they make and they can and will break every single one of them if they can profit from it.
are you ignoring years of conflict before the invasion on purpose, to help your argument?

"The rape victim never accepted a peaceful surrender to the rapist, she is just as much at fault." This is how you sound.
It seems disingenuous to compare a complex war with multiple participants and over more than 10 years with something as clearly one sided as rape

This is a significant mistelling of the history of the German "Enigma" device. Significant usage of Enigma was done during the war in a manner that was secure enough to prohibit interception. Turing's methods are brilliant as are the contributions of numerous other cryptographers. They relied on numerous operational failures of some branches of the military to be possible. So it was not from "the Germans", but from s…
I'm not sure what you mean. They used daily weather reports to decrypt the enigma for that day, so I'm not sure how that is an operational failure. If you know part of the cleartext, it's possible to brute-force any encryption given enough time.

I'm not philosophising, this was literally my job in the military and worked with a number of analysts who worked on this sort of thing.

They are. Check the Spratly islands. They may not be “certainly” owned by a specific country, but they’re definitely not China’s given the distance.
I checked (for those unfamiliar with western terms, this is 南沙諸島) and it seems like Taiwan also has territory claims there, does it mean Taiwan is also attacking foreign soil right now?
Taiwan is not building cities on the islands. China is. They’re also attacking Philippines vessels that come nearby
