Russian Special Military Operation in the Ukraine - Mark IV: The Partitioning of Discussion

There is a fourth option:
They think that by taking Russian land the military/people will have a collective fit and overthrow the government in favor of some Quislings who would just immediately surrender before proceeding to Balkanize Russia as they sell off its resources.
Someone should tell them that this isn't Civilization with Sudden Death rules.

Today's jokes will be 2026's conscription drive with the way things are going.
 
They could hire someone like a court writer that can transcribe in real time
Stenographers don't actually type out proper language, they type out steno and then clear the mess they've produced up after the fact. It's not really legible to anyone but another stenographer.

Same clip as above slightly longer and differently cropped.
Yeah I saw that video a week or so ago, and that is some random volunteer riflewoman whom found herself in the fray.

The reporter footage I've not seen before yesterday and she has big thick black antiflak bodyarmour on with a big PRESS badge, that journos on both sides wear when anywhere near the front.
 
The Rosgvardia gave the French a set of toy cars and soldiers via the French Embassy in Moscow. The letter accompanying the gift said: 'We hope that after playing with soldiers and military cars you will finally get rid of your Napoleon complex. Link

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. :story:
 
I'm always baffled how people have no idea how much better life got for Russia after Putin was in charge. Life in Russia at the end of the USSR only got worse with each passing year until this man took power. The only people in Russia who wouldn't understand the impact Putin had in making their lives better are the same age as the people in the USA who don't know how fucked up 9/11 made the west.

Unironically, Putin was the reverse 9/11 for Russia.

Western propagandists will never acknowledge the gargantuan leap in both the quality of life of the average Russian and the wonders he pulled off for the state as a whole.

Too many awkward questions and criticisms would come their way if the average Joe on the street learned that his governments were the ones responsible for things getting a little bit worse every day of his life and that it could be traded for a far better system.

In a political system where people have no option but to vote for one branch of the uniparty after the other one makes things worse during its term its far better to point at a long serving foreign leader and accuse him of rigging elections then to admit that its possible for a head of state to do his job well enough that he can win repeatedly rather than just being used as a sacrificial lamb and blamed for his parties failures under "his" term.

My understanding is that if you've watched any truly live event (barring the usual ~10 second production delay) like sports or live news with captions you've enjoyed the work of a stenographer getting automatically transcribed. That's why when typos for live events are made they're truly bizarre, not just completely different words but any random ASCII(?) character or the format of the captions themselves accidentally being changed because a command was accidentally transmitted.

AFAIK steno is a dying art despite its importance due to the general lack of apprentice taking boomers inflicted on the West combined with (at least prior to touch screens) everyone being taught traditional typing as kids, even though steno is the only feasible way for typing to accurately keep up with speaking. I know the signing roles for campaigns and big news channels are just sinecures, but I do wonder what competitive contracts for steno vs signing would look like. There's got to be at least an order of magnitude more people with basic ASL skills and near enough to zero of them needed by the court system. Truly zero needed by live sporting events as no viewer will stomach a sixth of the screen sacrificed to a language they'll never learn as relatively easy as it is.
 
Look if everything was this neat 146% wouldnt be a meme. You people should stay grounded lest you end up like the other thread.
146% is a meme, but Putin's support really is high. Partially because he gets the votes of every 60+ year old boomer due to inertia, partially because he weeded out every other even remotely attractive candidate, partially because many of the folks who do not support him left the country, and last but not least because the West has been going out of its way to instill a beseiged fortress mentality in the Russians. We tend to circle the wagons around the Tsar when theatened, and boy have we been threatened hard.

Now voter turnout may be absolute rock bottom, but those who do go to vote, univocally vote for Putin.
 
Few others is a doom sprite artist,
Yeah and what do you have against my past passion?

Feline is Jew-York born American citizen, next!
