  • Russia will make changes to its doctrine on the use of nuclear weapons in response to what it regards as Western escalation in the war in Ukraine, state media quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov as saying on Sunday.

    Oooh… Someone’s realized that a substantially smaller country with Jewish Nazis in the government is way more competent when it comes to specialized military operations?

    This is more a sign of desperation than a sign of either strategic military confidence or a booming economy.

    Moscow accuses the West of using Ukraine as a proxy to wage war against it, with the aim of inflicting a “strategic defeat” on Russia and breaking it apart.

    Dude, you’re making yourself more important than you actually are. No one cares about you.

    Edit: if you’re quoting something, it’s kind of expected that you copy the correct quite… duh…


  • …no expansion of the battlefield…

    Funny how China emphasizes this after Russia started to lose land to Ukraine. It’s not like they’ve been pushing this very hard with Russia for the last two years.

    Li noted the incursion and criticized Western support for Ukraine. “All sides are worried that the West continues to relax conditions for Ukraine to strike the Russian territory with aided weapons,” Li said. “And recent developments on the battlefield confirmed these kind of worries"

    Funny how Li have failed to conclude that China could have put an end to Russia raping and murdering civilian men, women and children 2 years ago by just not continue to supply Russia the parts needed to manufacture Russian weapons.

    But they didn’t.

    China, you’re drunk. Go home.







  • In its email, Google states that it is closing down the program because of the “overall increase in the Android OS security posture and feature hardening efforts.” This has led to researchers submitting fewer vulnerabilities than before.

    1. Vulnerabilities are found, which shows that the program is successful and needed.
    2. No vulnerabilities are found, no money will have to leave Google.

    Keeping the program will reap the benefits from both no. 1 and no.2 while closing down the program only enables no.2.

    Not hard to see the priorities here…


  • Ukraine doesn’t have to threaten Russia as a whole.

    Ukraine can already reach quite deep into Russia. As Ukraine advances deeper into Russia, the deeper can they strike.

    It’s not just cannon fodder that Putin has to redistribute. For example, hw much air defence do you think Ukraine will find the further they advance from the frontline in the contested areas?

    Russia has to move air defence closer to important infrastructure in places they didn’t have to protect before. That air defence has to be taken from somewhere. My bets are not on Russia having a shitload of air defence units elsewhere that they can afford moving away from wherever they currently are.

    Every unit of Russian air defence moved from Ukraine back home to Russia is making Ukraine closer to attack the Russian supply lines of the front lines. That’s just one of all the things Putin is facing right now because of Ukraine advancing into Russia.

    You’re right, Ukraine doesn’t have the luxury of time and men but they are surely hurting Russia badly with what they have. Even if the risk of Ukraine losing more than just the contested areas is big, they do not sell themselves cheaply.

    Russia will pay for years and years for the “3-4 days to Kiev”.



  • While the Ukrainian attack has revealed weaknesses in Russian defences and changed the public narrative of the conflict, Russian officials said Ukraine’s “terrorist invasion” would not change the course of the war.

    The tone in official Russian statements the last 2-3 weeks tells us something completely different.

    Shit ain’t fun no more when it shows that Ukraine were able to choose allies that are better than China, India and Iran, right?

    Things might still end badly for Ukraine but they will not end up selling themselves cheap. Even if Russia were able to gain full control over Ukraine, the cost of keeping the control is way too high compared to what Russia can afford.
