Russia has a lot of power here - they have hundreds of thousands of troops in Ukraine
Source?
The estimates that I found were all over the place, with most credible sources saying somewhere between 90-160k troops, all pretty vague on where these people are currently. With up to 250k reserves.
The death toll in the order of 250k for Russia and 100k for Ukraine, with wounded at around 3 times that for both sides.
they have Oreshnik missiles which could destroy Kyiv’s government and economy district.
Why don't they then? I mean they have directly targeted nuclear energy, it is not like they are trying to save their international image.
The trick you are talking about is the shitty situation that Europe finds itself in. If Russia is not stopped, it will simply embolden Putin to continue what he is doing. There will be "peace" in the captured lands, this is simply a smoke screen to allow time for Russia to rebuild. In a few years they will take the next part, and the next. We saw this tactic with Crimea in 2014....it will happen again if Ukraine settles for Russia's peace.
The Ukrainian government is counting on a deception to provoke a full-scale war between European nations and Russia.
What exactly does Ukraine need to deceive anyone about, the naked truth is that Putin wants to expand Russian borders, Europe needs to grapple with this truth and come to their own conclusions.
The most interesting part is whether Trump will support Ukraine, or whether Trump will see Ukraine as a liability and give up on the situation.
We already know what Trump wants to do. His goal is to steal Ukraine's wealth while letting Russia do what it pleases with its new toy. Having a "negotiation" while one side is not there makes this blindingly obvious.
WTF
Maybe by considering the difference between magnetic and polar north....
How exactly does Russia get a say in what Ukraine does?
As the aggressor in this situation, Russia doesn't really get to allow/disallow anything. Other than nuclear sabre rattling, what power does Russia have here?
There is no "trick" Ukraine would welcome direct NATO support, it has said so. NATO member countries can also act independent of NATO; individual countries could directly support Ukraine, unlikely but possible.
The first information revolution, is somewhat equivalent. With the invention of the printing press, distribution of information became an order of magnitude cheaper.
Literal months of work to produce a single copy, became a few hours to setup the movable type, then produce as many copies as you want.
Daily gazettes became a thing that was possible to do.
With 1.5TB capacity micro sd cards available, a pigeon could probably deliver 12-18TB.

I hate those.
Sit where it is comfortable and you touch the front, fucken gross, or sit back far enough and stain the bowl.
Clearly I'm on Lemmy too much
Parliament isn't the correct forum for it, but cups should be promoted in school along side the others. It is far more sustainable than tampons and pads.
Act are arseholes, and this was stupid of them. If this wasn't being used to bash beneficiaries it would be good to see, we need more everyday sustainability discussed.
