andxz,

Relatively early on (can’t remember the date) Himmler gave a somewhat notorious speech about eventually recruiting far flung “true Aryans” from the US into the SS, much like they eventually did from several other countries.

Luckily history played out a bit differently.

andxz,

The only relevant answer is that nobody knows for sure. Ukraine is doing their very best but they’re fighting not only Russia but also the combined effort of all the fuckwits that support Russia materially, i.e. China, Iran and North Korea etc. it’s not exactly an easy position to be in, even if their tech is of lower quality than what we have in the west they’re also able to churn out a lot more, and that shows.

On the other hand, it’s pretty telling that Russia is resorting to what amounts to long range terror bombing in between human wave attacks. They used up a lot of manpower last summer, and it can’t be easy to replace those losses. They do have access to a lot more human resources, but again, of dubious quality.

Russia is certainty hoping for another 4 years of the orange fuckwit in the White House though. That’s where the real danger is. If that happens all bets are off.

andxz, (edited )

That’s true, I’m sorry.

There were some twitter accounts worth following, but after what happened over there I don’t know if any of them are still active. Likewise there were some subs in Reddit that had decent amounts of factual posts, but I don’t know about them anymore either.

Other than that, what’s wrong with piecing together news from the most reliable sources? The Guardian has excellent coverage of the war. Anything that goes on for this long will obviously suffer from some story-fatigue but they’re at least more trustworthy than anything from Russia.

It’s called fog of war for a reason though, you’re never going to get 100% unbiased and correct information about ongoing battles, for opsec reasons if nothing else.

andxz,

My pleasure. The great thing about The Guardian especially, besides the fact that they do try to cover the negative sides as well, is that they tend to separate ongoing events into their own pages. You can bookmark only Ukraine and check what has happened recently easily.

Granted, these days it’s mostly whatever bombings Russia has done during the night sprinkled with whatever counter attacks Ukraine manages, but still. In my opinion they’ve been quite quick with the updates when something major has happened. They covered Prigozhin’s road trip to Moscow last year very well, almost minute to minute.

andxz,

Oh look, you’re spouting that same regurgitated shit over here as well. I wonder why it’s so important to you to paint Ukraine in the worst possible light?

andxz,

Damn, you must really like the taste of those boots.

andxz,

Oh the irony.

andxz,

You seem a bit confused about this whole thing.

andxz,

You’re more than a little delusional if you think this shit is going to end well for Russia.

andxz,

You’re getting your comments mixed up.

andxz,

Are you sure you know any math, in general? You sure seem to like that phrase, yet you don’t do any.

As for the rest, you might as well write in russian, because that’s exactly what it sounds like - brainwashed russian bullshit. It’s especially telling that you think that the European countries don’t care what happens to Ukraine. That’s such utter idiocy that it could only come from Russia.

andxz,

What, you’d be surprised if they press-ganged these women into sexual slavery? Really?

This is Russia we’re discussing here.

andxz,

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Iran launches drone attack against Israel as Biden rushes to White House (www.theguardian.com)

Iran said it launched dozens of drones and ballistic missiles towards Israel on Saturday in a major attack following days of acute tension building up in the region and warnings from the US and elsewhere about a wider conflict erupting....

andxz,

It’d probably end with one really fat Netanyahu. He’s exactly the kind of backstabbing bitch who’d thrive in that environment.

andxz,

You’re projecting again.

andxz,

Too late, as the one who broke the story got murdered years ago. She’s not talked about nearly enough.

andxz,

I would have, but I didn’t remember it offhand and didn’t have time to check. She deserved far better than she got though, that’s for sure.

andxz,

That’s essentially exactly what he is.

andxz,

It wouldn’t exactly be the first time he’d do something like this, although if this is the case it’d be quite extreme even for him.

andxz,

You’re not wrong, and he’s obviously using it to full effect either way, but it just boggles my mind a bit that they probably knew full well this’d happen and they let it, smack middle in Moscow of all places.

It’s not exactly a good look no matter how much that demented fuck tries to spin it.

andxz,

Didn’t take long for the right wing talking points to creep in after all.

We’re allowed to make mistakes. He’s an old man and most definitely grew up in another world. He’s clearly changed his mind on a fair number of things later in his life, which is hard to do.

No matter what you say there’s only one reason to post the shit you keep posting.

andxz,

As for Russia funding Hamas attack, that just sounds like insane propaganda, sorry.

Your posts on the matter reads like insane propaganda as well.

andxz,

You deserve some sort of award for most incoherent post ever with this shit.

andxz,

You must really like the taste of russian boots, jfc.

andxz,

You get to be a duck if you commit suicide?

andxz,

You can sleep!? Shit, that’s pure gold you got right there.

andxz,

Microsoft still supports AoE2, and that game is going on 22+ years. Some of the other stuff they’ve released has been a bit hit and miss, but they at least tried to do something fresh.

I’ll take that over ActiBlizz dropping support for the SC2 pro scene for no good reason other than “profitability” any day.

Hell, maybe they can fix WoW classic while they’re at it, and say what you will about the guy but if I understand correctly even Chris Metzen is coming back.

andxz,

Microsoft still support AoE2 after all these years, while Activision more or less fucked the SC2 proscene so hard it’s amazing it’s still going as strong as it is.

Not to mention what they did to the classic WotLK launch. It couldn’t get any worse than that.

andxz,

The servers were essentially 95-99% of either faction, and they locked migration several times seemingly on random. A lot of people got stuck on servers that were nigh unplayable because of the other faction dominating everything.

It even included paid server transfers on some servers for some weird reason. I got hardlocked on 98% alliance server while playing a tauren resto druid. Their customer service told me to “level another character on a server of my choosing”. Leveled to 80 out of sheer spite and then quit when my game time ran out.

Truly one of the biggest disappointments in my entire life. I know it’s just a game, but I had looked forward to getting to redo wrath since they first announced classic in general, and they completely ruined it.
