I feel that if a person can't communicate, the very least he can do is to shut up.

That's either AM from I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, or Asimov's robots discovering Zeroth Law.

Ukraine should send both Klichkos and Usyk in response.

This island is Gogland/Hogland which belongs to Russia, and they should a small base there.

The first A-50 over Azov Sea (closer to the front line) was claimed as shot down by a Patriot. The second one was way outside of Patriot range.

Okay, just launched later than usual.
Oh well.

Непонятно только, чего именно перемирие не будет?..

While it was a bit of that, it also had a very minor concession: previously, Russia wanted negotiations based on the Istanbul Communique. Now it's just "without preconditions."

And it's CNN's Frederik Pleitgen to his left, I think.

Pretty sure this liquid high-temperature stuff is highly corrosive, and if mixed with nuclear fuel also highly radioactive, and no one actually has a good idea of how much it costs to keep it running safely for an extended period of time.
"near-mature technology" does a lot of heavy lifting here.

Na ja, gab es schon, Stegner ist aber auch kein Dulles.

What if instead of the Fed losing its independence to the government, government lost its independence to the Fed?

No, it's not smoke, they are just dusting him off.

300% on incoming TCP packets.

A bit slow and small for an incoming ballistic missile, and also still smoking (?).
comment in response to
post
It's an air-to-air missile (R-73, specifically) repurposed as drone-borne SAM.
At least that's what was used before, there's no concrete evidence as to what was used this time yet.

That's how you get a rock song about time dilation.

Now, this is closer to a Marshall Plan. Still very vague, though this is probably intentional.

Ist allerdings eine längere Serie, und wird gegen Ende eher mittelmäßig.
Kushiel's Legacy von Carey ist wahrscheinlich so der Klassiker für die Kombination aus Purple Prose und Sex-Szenen bei Fantasy, ist aber eine noch längere Serie...

Temeraire von Naomi Novik?
Nicht so viele Sex-Szenen wie in Empyrean, und nicht so wirklich Purple Prose wie bei Melville, aber hat mmN schon gewisse Schnittmengen.

Russia also has experience with planes randomly falling of the carrier.

REGEXMATCH with \bX\b as the regex?
Returns TRUE/FALSE, but I guess it's easy to convert.

Yeah, except for de jure recognition it's all far more acceptable to Ukraine than to Russia, and the Ukrainian-EU text is largely just a more detailed version of the same.
comment in response to
post
Well, at least it contradicts one of Russia's key demands. They wanted army size and arms limits that would've reduced the Ukrainian army to a joke.

At least we can be reasonably sure that he isn't just using Russian transcription for Zelenskyy's first name.

The direction - democratic backsliding toward Fascism - isn't particularly new. Trump might be an extreme outlier, but it's an outlier that sits atop what seems to be more or less a global trend right now.

This time he found himself a properly spineless bunch of henchmen.
Somewhat ironically I'd guess that if it happens, the first to go would be Hegseth: though he's as vile as required, he's much too earnest about it.

A long one.

Except for the idiotic comparison they put into headline, it all seems a bunch of boringly obvious ideas that might work except for the fact that Russia will never accept that.

Die EU sollte einfach anbieten für jede flächendeckend in den USA eingeführte SI-Einheit ein Standard aufzuweichen.

I think it's mostly for the same reason that fiction often has main characters do everything themselves, even if it makes little sense: people want to see(& read) about (fictional) personalities, not drones fighting each other.

It's also about what the US exports in year in fossil fuels.
comment in response to
post
Not only that, the US would have to stop exporting fuels to anywhere but the EU, because the $350B are also roughly the whole US fuel exports.
comment in response to
post
$350B would be almost the whole fossil energy imports of the EU for 2024 (€376B/$411B).

Wäre dazu noch richtig interessant, welches % der Steuerabgaben die im Ausland leisten.

The target list has always been mostly "easy to set on fire" and "easy to hit", and the former is now mostly off the list.
This one turned out to be very easy to hit.

Seems like a safe bet that they deliberately set factors so they cancel out. Or an LLM did that for them (and fudged signs in the process).

Der Plan ist noch mindestens 10 Jahre drum herum zu debattieren, das ist doch fast so gut wie ein "nein".
