It's cute that you try to talk it down but prominent figures in Russia are talking about invading Europe, murdering its people and eradicating cities.

And no one West of the Russian border cares one bit about moving the Russian border even a meter eastwards. The claim that Nato is a threat to Russia is a sad lie it tells itself to justify its imperialism.

Haha you adding that disclaimer "since 1991" is the funniest thing. Russia losing their occupation of Poland does not undo anything that happened before. But here are some examples for you to completely ignore:

We are already working on a plan for the demilitarization of NATO countries, and Poland is the first in the line after the capture of Kiev

We are ready to take Kyiv and NATO countries without any problems on orders. Our combat-hardened units will not be able to resist any army in the world. We have experience, arsenal, faith, patriotism, idea and truth! The West does not yet understand how strong we are

I'm sure you'll manage to find more if you care.

So why do you believe that Russia's selfimposed fear of invasion is not a paranoid delusion?

Can you show me where the West threatend to invade Russia? Because Russians do so regularly. Calling that "paranoid" is just willfull ignorance for the sake of being an asshole.

Same for your casual insinuation that the West is "sending Ukrainians to their deaths". The only one forcing them to fight is Russians crossing the border and murdering Ukrainians.

I did read a bit of that tankie garbage and this is the funniest bit I reached:

For Russia, the war is existential.

Russia can stop murdering Ukrainians at any time without anyone caring for Russian land or the existence of Russia. It's nothing more than a paranoid fantasy that anyone in "the West" would want to invade Russia. They could have just stuck to selling resources to Europe and the rest of the world, but instead they chose to attack their neighbour.

If you really build your world view on a foundation like this article you are completely lost - at least outside Russia. You might make a career in Moscow, though.

It's good that regulators put a stop to Apple producing even more proprietary BS cables then.

Google can close your email account down at any time for any stupid reason they like and their nonexistant support will leave you standing in the rain without access to years of mails. Switch to a paid mailer with actual support ASAP

I know you people don't consider Ukrainians actual humans with agency but they fight because they are forced to do so by Russians. And if they stopped fighting they would be eradicated by Russians. Whether the West wants them to resist Russia or not has no weight in that.

It has an O-counter, something I'd not use in an app that hosts my family videos.

Haha I experienced a similar rule during my 9 months. Stationed on Hardthöhe in Bonn they, have a severe rank-inflation going on with all the old generals and admirals marching towards retirement. It was only expected to salute any of the inspectors if youver met them.

Funny thing that I got loads of salutes from fresh soldiers transferred there as I was in the navy and thus had yellow stripes which confused many of the similarly ranked guys from the other branches.

https://streetcomplete.app/ is a fun way to contribute to OSM and do something else instead of just "walking" if you want to get outside a bit.

I'm so conflicted on this. On the one hand he seems like a giant asshole that saves on safety to make a few more bucks but on the other hand he trusted his system completely and died with it. So not really greedy asshole but stupid entrepreneur who didn't realize how wrong he was?
