As Ukrainian, I can say that you don’t understand anything. Some data points might be correct, but you have not enough data to connect the dots, so you make wrong conclusions. Russia was threatening with invading Ukraine right from the beginning of its recent independence. There were two large schools of thoughts how to deal with it: 1) try to “go around rain drops” by not provoking Russia but simultaneously to not g…
It would be one thing if there was a clear policy and adherence to it. In that case, you could discuss and reason in good faith. However there is no such indication that this decision is based on a considered policy. Trump's supporters would say that this is a result of not wanting the US being involved in foreign conflicts. That is a laudable goal, however that is not what is happening here. From the article > On Fr…
This is, unfortunately about one thing only: The Nobel Peace Prize. As Trump sees it, Zelenskyy is blocking Trump's peace prize by not agreeing to his (very bad) terms that are designed with one purpose in mind: Quickly freezing the conflict so that he can declare himself peacemaker and get his prize (because Obama got his 9 months into his term). The Russians have been grooming him since the 80s (along with many oth…
On the bright side, if that happens, Alfred Nobel’s grave will become a perpetual motion machine…

Was news to me, but crazy enough to seem plausible. I now see a lot of news headlines talking about it. On the bright side, if that happens, Alfred Nobel’s grave will become a perpetual motion machine…

In the Budapest Memorandum USA promised not to attack Ukraine if it gives back Russian nukes to Russia. They kept the promise. In the same memorandum Russia promised the same thing. They broke the promise. Repeatedly. Nonetheless, I agree that more countries should develop their own nukes. Especially the ones like Poland, Baltics and Nordics. Not because it's a good thing to do, but because the world is what it is.
The memorandum also said they would provide assistance, they are not keeping that promise.

> Supported by former Democratic intellectuals like Glenn Greenwald. What? Greenwald was never a Democrat. Anti-Bush isn't the same thing as Democrat.
> What? Greenwald was never a Democrat. Anti-Bush isn't the same thing as Democrat. Greenwald is a liberal, he was kicked out of liberal circles after the Hunter Biden's laptop story, the liberal elite wanted to suppress during the elections. Bary Weiss is also a liberal, now hated by the liberal press for blasphemy on a certain subject. Same with Matt Taibbi, he showed up on MSNBC regularly even on Maddow, now the l…

It's one thing to stop all aid to Ukraine. That makes you an asshole in a world full of assholes. But it's another thing to do that while simultaneously working to restore relations with Russia. There is only one word for that: evil. Back in the late 90s to late 2000s, people in Western Europe generally had pretty negative views of the US. It was the country that refused to fight against climate change, launched an i…
Thus two messages for every other country: 1. Make nukes, never give up on those regardless of what assurances of safety you get 2. If you are bigger and stronger - you are right, do whatever you want, international laws and rules do not matter any more Lets see where all this will bring the world to in the next 10 years or a generation.
Also Europe will have to increase its nuclear arsenal since it is clear that Europe can't no longer rely on US. Europe was too trusting for too long.
The war in Ukraine has made it impossible to run my startup. Due to unlimited attacks it has become impossible to focus on anything other than the war. Of course, the war certainly needs to be stopped, but no one really knows how to do it correctly and I'm not sure anything good will come of it.
After 3 years of the war, my memory has started to deteriorate and I’ve encountered issues with work and finances. It’s hard to understand how anyone can work during a war and who thought of it, when the planning horizon is just until the next night and then hell begins.
I fear that if U.S. military support stops and the war continues, I will have to urgently move to a safer place.
I am urgently looking for financial help. I have extensive experience in web3 and can work in this field, but only with upfront payment and an immediate start, as my current situation doesn’t allow me to go through tiring technical interviews.
Here, I have created an open letter for companies and individuals who may be interested in my project. Thanks for any feedback.
