Russia's economy is smaller than California's, yet we still pretend that they're a massive threat so that we can continue buying aircraft carriers. Graphic should have USA fish about 10x bigger than Russia fish.

Also, needs Iran and China fishes.

... and the opposing fishes should be shown buying Russia's oil with their frowny faces. "I can't believe that you're selling me oil, you are deplorable. Here's 50 billion dollars. Jerk. You're a jerk."

Russia used to have a lot of tanks left over from the soviet union. Ukraine has blown most of them up.

Electrified everything I own because fuck Putin. I think the next think to look at is a battery to use off peak energy. Just looked and it appears some much better capacity/£ options are available since I last looked. Its always looking more and more tempting but then I always think about what if I wait for the next one to come out which is even batter?

To be completely fair, Russia has been the number 1 donor of tanks to Ukraine, so they weren't all blown up.

Some companies offer modular batteries, so instead of buying like one big 15kWh battery, you can get 3 5kWh batteries. And there's usually a cabinet or server rack where you can put them together.

That way it's more scalable and easier to add capacity. And when it's time to upgrade or replace them, you can do that in smaller steps instead of all at once.

Russia’s economy is smaller than California’s, yet we still pretend that they’re a massive threat so that we can continue buying aircraft carriers. Graphic should have USA fish about 10x bigger than Russia fish.

The problem is that California uses US weapons that costs magnitudes more for at best marginal improvements over weapons used by both Russia and Ukraine that cost less than vodka by weight, and which US cannot feasibly produce for less than 10X price, so it kind of levels out. Throwing money at Ukraine to produce them is smart, but there's only so many they can make.

Ukrainian here, glad someone understands. Russia is still the threat, and a very real threat to the whole Europe. No European country is ready for the war of drones - neither on the frontlines vs FPV (which we see repeatedly in European-Ukrainian trainings) and in the air vs reactive jet shaheds.

Like ffs just count the amount of antiair rockets you have in your country and check out the history of russian aerial attacks on Ukrainian cities. Its 200-300 shaheds every second day. Would your stocks last a week? Okay, two? USA is learning this in Iran, but they are on the other side of the world so they can take the L and move on.

And we need all the fish on the right giving missiles to Israel and Israel as it slaughters a little Palestinian fish and they should be sucking off America as they both try to kill the Iran fish.

I think at least China, Iran and North Korea could be added as participants on Russia's side

Are we counting Belarus as its own country or as the puppet state it actually is?

Trump asks Zelensky to not attack Russian refineries.

Imagine your country having been invaded, Russia is trying to kill you, has brought in soldiers not just from Russia but from other countries. You've toured countless bombed cities, and regularly see soldiers and civilians, men, women, and children missing limbs. You regularly get casualty numbers, names, and stories of your fellow countrymen.... for years. Year after year.

...and some fat American President who watches Fox news and is a child rapist, is telling you to go easy on the country invading you.

The pedant in me cant help but point out that that isnt how shark anatomy works. Male sharks have two analogous structures, called claspers, and they are located on the back of their pelvic fins.

big divisive arguments in the thread

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

At some point, the "America and Russia are having sex" joke has fully exhausted itself.

It's all just cope. Totally divorced from the historical moment. Millions of people dead. More slated to die in a hellish conflict with no clear end.

But, "Lolz what if they were giving each other BJs" is immortal.

Nation states dividing the working class against themselves is sad as fuck. Fuck every country, but double fuck countries that start wars of aggression. Russia and the USA.

Both. Its both
