Amazingly no lack of westerners who are dumb enough to believe such obvious propaganda.

The west has been pouring billions into the military industry over the past three years and still isn’t able to meaningfully ramp up production right now. Simply pouring money into this isn’t the solution, it would take a lot of structural changes to create a functional military industry. Meanwhile, Europe is now in deep economic trouble, and diverting large parts of the budget towards military will only make domestic unrest grow as it will result in further austerity. Political stability is by far the biggest near term problem for the EU.

Nah, scale of military industry is measured in industrial capacity which is largely non existent in Europe. Also, a fun fact is that activities such as steel production are very energy intensive. The fact that Russia produces 3x as many shells as all of NATO combined shows just how far ahead Russia is industrially.

Nobody is moving goal posts. The scale of military industry in Europe is nowhere near what would be needed to replace the US. Expanding the industry to that scale would require an incredible amount of funding which can’t happen given the state of European economies, not to mention energy prices in Europe. The fact that you don’t understand such basic things really says volumes.

The whole free world was a bullshit narrative to begin with.

And they produce things on artisanal scale. Go look up what percentage of NATO military production the US accounts for.

Go look at the production numbers of these companies and compare them to the US, China, or Russia.

NATO members can’t buy stuff from imaginary suppliers that don’t exist in the real world.

The leader of the free world everybody.

oh yeah makes sense

Oh yeah, she has some great insights that might spark new ideas for you. :)

Thing is that it was never about independence, it was about the US overthrowing the government in Ukraine to put in a complaint regime that would sell off Ukraine’s resources to the west.

Oh linked it a little while back, she does a great job explaining UX in general I find. And it’s always interesting how the social and material conditions drive these things. For example, this video on how web design in India tends to be very spartan is interesting too. She explains how a lot of the population doesn’t have fast mobile phones, and so sites have to be snappy on older hardware which means have much leaner and more functional designs.

Incredible how somebody could have such low intellect to utterly lack the capacity to separate the architecture from a specific app. I guess some people just lack the cognitive capacity needed to generalize concepts.

thank you for providing peak liberal analysis

I do expect he will try to put tariffs on BRICS countries, and he might use Russia as the initial justification. The west is very likely to end up in a severe economic crisis as a result.

yeah there are a handful of apps that follow this model, it would be nice if it was the standard way to do things. In fact, this could even be handled by the GUI toolkit itself since native apps have to rely on it to build the user interface. The toolkit could just automatically generate a JSON API based on that for example.

you may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like 😆

Sanctions haven’t worked for three years, and Russia has already successfully diverted its economy away from the west at this point. The Financial Post was literally just reporting how Russia’s budget revenue rose to a record high last month even after the US targeted the banking sector with a new round of sanctions aimed at disrupting foreign trade payments and curbing proceeds from exports.
