Could just seize more of the others to counter the value.

Its not so much a bargain he doesnt keep to, he uses deals that seem acceptable to both sides as later leverage. Because the hassle of then cancelling them itself allows to get more concessions.

Very much appreciate our american vloggers in such times. A reminder to always be mindful that a party or head of state doesnt represent all its people, and at times, not that many.

Whether true or not, the defender has the right to thwart the invasion, and its in the interests of the western states and others to show we will help thwart and reduce annexation.

Weird innit. Your post alone in half the time got twice the likes on a smaller platform.

So arguably it could be framed as carrot and stick, but putin arguably doesnt want to be trumps donkey. Always ends up vice versa and trumpites dont see it.

A prime month where Ukrainians established the moral principle, through good strategy, friends, and strength, that you shouldnt invade someones home.

Issue may be the evidence points to russua but is open to 'whataboutist' debate. Farage types like to deal with the world in categories rather than proportions and probabilities. Anything that isnt of the tribe, or not what they grew up accepting as fact will be left to the party line.

Pretty soon you'll see my account location shift to W Social. Just doing my bit to show while I still love my 'anonymous' account, I also dislike bots. No system is perfect, but dont confuse a hair in your soup for bowl of shit. Our system is about better because of its direction of travel.

Gotta feel for rutte right now.

Indeed he rarely does any deal that doesnt also turn into leverage on something more later down the line. You think you have s fair trade, but then he uses the fear of chaos of ending that fsir trade to extract more from that deal.

Reminder that such bots will still be operating out of random datacentres elsewhere than russia. We wont be bot free, but things like W Social or a paid service are currently our best attempt at a bot-reduced space. Both the bots and privacy conscious will rarely be there, for better or worse.

Quick reminder that this reads 'received intelligence'. The response will not be the same as if it had been carried out or thwarted mid-attempt.

Verivir @verivir.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

The healthiest thing for Ukraine to do for the US is take out those datacentres. Only a shame some of the ones used elsewhere aren't a victim of cirgarettes.

Cant. And his play for such influence was transparent enough only he thought it worked.

Verivir @verivir.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Not wrong there. Though as France showed, sovereign capability is worth the burden of investment when it comes to sovereignty, so my priority would always be the west building up and learning from Ukrainian production. Ukraine was promised border integrity, and we need to help them make that so.

Seems like it costs nothing for them to try, net win - they build their scary reputation which helps them negotiate by intimidation, and they may eventually get lucky in a hit.

Yes, if only flattery alone just worked, but trump loves it only from a badboy. Its all so freudian.

And bought little respect amongst mafia state leaders.

Verivir @verivir.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Its a sound point. And it does make you wonder what Trump actually gets for all these lifelines. Its not like Iran and the houthis etc are getting less capable. Republicans should wonder if the deal with trump was worth it. His mob boss mentality has done serious damage to US influence

Range wise, thats for the long range drones. Though dont forget Ukraine is now able to begin building scalp production. Russian action has consequences.

You dont see a very wet granny smith? I cant be alone on this. Its not the white and gold dress, but I still can see wet granny smiths with a censored hole if I dont remind myself they are olives.

I love that I clearly have a bias against seeing olives.

Would be interesting if he could actually fulfil his current orders. It would really put the republican party in the trump university and trump steak category.

I see it now. And not ai olives. I think.

Surely neither of them need to come up with it, they just need to select options that actual experts have suggested. Assuming such an idea has been put up for tender...

Theres an important difference between "was it wrong" to "would I vote for a party that will 'reverse brexit'" This is why phrasing on EU relations needs to stay hedged.

Verivir @verivir.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

The question then becomes, given the favours offered to putin, has it actually paid off for trump.

010

Verivir @verivir.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Europeans should be in a position to help Ukraine avoid that pressure, purely because it is in our interests to show you cannot fund a country in direct war against one of us and a violent covert war against most of us.

Id change the design. Should be a fixed bar or widget of a sliding scale and if notifications bars have to be there, I'd have an option for the app to delete previous ones. All those notifications bars add stress.

I'm clearly not an oil expert, but was russia planning to do this anyway to make its refineries less flameable? Anyway, hope people remember that republicans are for funding putins war.

Funny, you'd think they would be outraged. I guess it doesnt pay to bite the hand that feeds you.

Right, because someone who commits such crimes was doubtful that there would be consequences. Unless there is a serious group who think states executions are a hoax (and this wont convince them) its an example of hulk smash mentality - the broification of policy.

What a surprise that weights, tatoos, booze and a chauvinistic attitude dont convert to all round serious fitness. He is a walking metaphor for the results of broism.
