The real question is is the Ukrainian government done with killing its population or can we do a little more war still
We’re just watching the end of an RTS match where the player losing is hiding buildings around the map and building towers in hopes the winning player values their time enough to just quit
Imagine losing a war to people you were earlier calling orcs and claiming they were fighting with shovels, because capitalism can’t deliver an inexpensive and good product, even for imperialism
we live in a dark comedy
damn i wonder where russia got all that efficient manufacturing infrastructure
Ukraine should ideally have the same efficient manufacturing infrastructure but they didn’t have a Putin to stop their shock therapy
Most of postsocialist countries had one round of shock therapy, though with varying lenghts and intensify.
Ukraine had four.
They’re still undergoing one lol
Yeah, that’s the fourth one, since 2022-3 when the west started to openly loot them for war debts. Previous were 2014+, 2004+, 1991+
Well you could count them as one huge shock therapy, but there were some pauses and tries to assert some sovereignity before 2004 and 2014 before west couped them again, and the newest one is something of a new quality of thorough plunder rather than “just” the ordinary shock therapy.

The “just in time” army
There’s so many businesses that shouldn’t run on a just in time basis. I can’t believe anyone thought that was a good idea for a military force.
I had a buddy who was being taught how JIT is the best thing ever during the height of the COVID logistics crash. You can’t expect business types to interact with the real world.
