If Ukraine is able to replace or recover damaged vehicles why is Zelensky still asking for more tanks (in Switzerland right now)? I thought the sanctions were going to trigger massive inflation and unrest in the Russian economy and their desire to support the war would disappear. I thought the Russians were out of ammunition last year and now they’re bombing relentlessly. I though their morale was so low they were going to capitulate when this attack happened, yet their first main line of defensive trenches hasn’t yet been touched. If Ukraine morale is high and Russian morale is low why are Ukrainians surrendering or refusing to fight on the front lines?
Austin told us all that he had high expectations for the counter-offensive two days before the Pentagon leaks revealed there were actually low expectations. Why believe the boy who already cried wolf, especially when his words don’t align with reality? There’s been too much lying. The war is costing too much in terms of tax payer dollars and Ukrainian lives. This Biden administration is stuck is a sunk cost fallacy and needs to stop.
They were on lemmy.ml from the start. Take a guess at what the “ml” stands for.
It stands for Mali?
Well, Yes but not here. The fediverse doesn’t have to follow the same domain extension standards people are used to with websites hosted on centralized servers in various countries. Spin up an instance of your own and you can choose whatever extension you want and they chose one as shorthand for Marxist-Leninist. They’re not shy about it, Dessalines even has essays on communism hosted on their github.
Oh, I see. Thanks, I didn’t make the connection between ml and Marxist-Leninism. Although I was aware that sometimes domains aren’t used for their original purpose like .to, .io or .me who normally aren’t used for Tonga, British Indian Territories or Montenegro respectively.
No, you were actually correct before. They just chose .ml cause it’s free
You’re welcome and I didn’t make the connection at first either, I doubt a lot of us newer people have.
They literally used that domain because it’s free, for fucks sake, could you quit with that conspiracy? The admins are openly Marxist-Leninists and we have an instance for us, there’s no need to “uuhh, lookie how baddy the ml domain can you guess how bad are”.
