The Kremlin is pleased to report that their enormous ammunition depot and barracks have quickly and efficiently intercepted the enemy attack drone in a coordinated tactical strike.

Yes, and there are also videos of continuing, frequent secondary explosions when there's daylight.

So, the explosions lasted a few hours, minimum.

Its right there in what you typed, its giving them time off. That's what inventivizes them.

I'm part of everyone, so yes, it's reaching into my wallet.

I'm not trying to take anyone's "rights to reproduce," I just don't want someone reaching onto my wallet to incentivize increased population because its a stupid thing to do that harm humanity in the long run

This is coming from somene who supports things like single-payer universal healthcare, broad financial support for education, ensuring housing for people, etc.

You're putting up optimistic hypothetical consumption scenarios against an ongoing global mass extinction, climate change, and environmental degradation caused by our actual real world consumption

Yeah, that's going to suck, but the apparent alternative is continuing massive overconsumption that will eventually cause much worse problems.

Immigration will be a huge problem that's already being exacerbated by climate change and disinformation.

Says the fact that we'd require several more earth size planets just to sustain current human consumption, or the fact that we're killing off other life on the planet at an almost unprecedented rate.

We produce enough food to feed everyone... in a completely unsustainable way.

weird angle to take against equality

Come on, what a shitty strawman.

Yes agreed, at this point Putin will look weak if he doesn't get something out of all this. Which could give someone an opportunity to take him down.

They don't really need more fuel reserves, but they want to prevent Ukraine from undercutting them on the market.

Putin's bridge to Crimea has almost been destroyed already, and they've stopped even using it for a lot of military logistics. A land bridge isn't vulnerable like that.

I get it, I just also understand humans are destroying our only environment. Were driving the fifth ever mass extinction of life on Earth.

We literally can't keep living the way we are.

I'd rather have a functioning ecosystem and mitigated climate change.

The purpose behind attacking Ukraine was to prevent them from joining NATO

NO, that's Kremlin propaganda.

If the Kremlin was worried about NATO, they wouldn't put everything they have against Ukraine and leave themselves so exposed like they are right now where Ukraine alone has been easily holding part of their territory for a month.

The reason for this barbaric war was to take industrial infrastructure in Donbas, secure a land bridge to Crimea, take recently uncovered fossil fuel resources, give Russians a common enemy to make them more nationalistic, and prevent Ukraine from flourishing as a democracy because then Russians might want the sameas their neighbors.

It's interesting to think about "NATO vs Russia" framing.

When we think like that, of seems like there are these two similar entities opposed to each other. Not even close to true!

NATO = THIRTY TWO distinct governments representing many hundreds of millions of people who voted for them

Russia = One government that doesn't properly represent its people and heavily relies on propaganda to survive
