  1. check their next issues, maybe next year or 2024. they aren't the quickest for integrating neologisms.
  2. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Ruzzia#English maybe this is clearer, the two Z are clearly visible:
  3. far from the end result, on the contrary. For Ukraine and for the whole rest of the world we would call "free", the LOSING strategy would be to accept Ruzzia's invasion and its presence in occupied territories. And taking things even further, we also know that the current Ruzzia can't be negotiated with, because it lies and breaks treaties. "Hey we don't lie this time and we swear we will keep our word in future too". Logic, reason and sanity all advise the same course of action.
  4. I'm sure you can also tell us who is to blame for that. Hint: ships don't need to pass through Ruzzian waters, because Ukrainian territorial waters connect directly with Romanian waters, direct way to Bosphorus Strait.
  5. I did some reading, and it seems that aluminium-gallium is indeed still far from being an efficient method for hydrogen production ????
  6. defending against occupiers on Ukrainian territory cannot be seen as an escalation.
  7. so could you explain how electrolysis-based hydrogen production could be cheaper than aluminium-gallium based production ?
  8. I don't believe any electrolysis can be cheaper than the gallium-aluminium process
  9. well, in the article you linked they say: - research is needed to know just how big of a problem hydrogen leakage really would be - that leakage is/will be probably much less than first anticipated - leakage is not really expected to be a big issue let's hope hydrogen is a good solution.
  10. drone footage from the Ukrainian attack at Sevastopol looks like the Black Sea Fleet's new Flagship, the Admiral Makarov has been hit
  11. Ruzzia accusing UK of being involved is a good sign - it means the attack caused noticeable damage.
  12. I geolocated the location with smoke to 44.580305299874105, 33.41623956639925 it looks like training grounds for the army. I'm not sure the photos show anything of importance.
  13. you are giving in to the Russian narrative. the reality is that since Putin came to power, he has been pushing for Russia to "retake" formerly soviet-dominated countries. the largest NATO expansion has taken place after Russia already tried to subdue Ukraine and other Eastern European countries by meddling in their internal affairs, corrupting government officials and politicians, poisoning elected leaders and trying to rig elections. it's quite clear that a large part of NATO's appeal to these countries at the time was due to Putin's own behavior.
  14. hydrogen cars are the future, because Hydrogen can be produced without using electricity in the process (aluminium - gallium process). car manufacturers need to agree on standardized fuel cell formats.
  15. having a finger deleted isn't really appealing, especially if this is a yearly procedure. I'm glad I haven't been required to do that.
  16. there was an article in the honorable NZZ (the paper had been a mandatory morning read on most intelligence officers' desks during the cold war and long after) about the Ruzzo-Ruzzian power dynamics behind Putin's war in Ukraine - Putin might be forced to withdraw his best soliders from Ukraine to instead protect his regime, and Prigozhin as well as Kadyrov might do the same - not necessarily to challenge Putin but as a measure of self-preservation. https://www.nzz.ch/meinung/timothy-snyder-wie-der-ukraine-krieg-ohne-bombe-enden-koennte-ld.1706730 the article is in German, there are enough options for translation. NZZ has published a lot of articles in the past weeks about power dynamics in Ruzzia. I'd say something is simmering around the Kremlin.
  17. very probable and the SBU already announced it yesterday. the new Ruzzian theater commander is a real piece of work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Surovikin I don't know if they did it on purpose or what, now I'm torn between calling him Azog Surovikin or Dr. Evil Surovikin
  18. do we know anything about the origins of the fight ? what the video clearly shows is that it was a "normal" fight and the kicks and punches were not intended to cause serious harm and that the Thai fell unlucky. we also see that the French guy tried to walk away even after he was on the ground and kicked by the Thai. how is the Thai public reacting to the longer video ?
  19. ah, it needs a book ... https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/08/23/ideology-alexander-dugin-global-far-right/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics commentary: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-49832-0 anyway, it's pretty revealing that for you the main thing that would separate Putin's Ruzzia from "proper" fascism is the existence of a book ... I guess it's good we even have a book then.
  20. Putin has built up an Ideology, it also got a symbol: "Z" https://www.zois-berlin.de/en/publications/zois-spotlight/the-ideology-behind-russias-war https://www.uu.nl/en/news/putins-motive-the-radical-ideology-of-a-holy-russian-nation the list of wars is there to illustrate Russia's need for drones, as your point was that Russia has not been involved in enough conflicts for it to have a need for drones. I would hold the opinion that the nature of the conflicts, local, internal, etc. and the opponents in the conflicts are largely irrelevant in the question of the need for drones. drones are needed in every war, and Russia was involved in many.
  21. okay, let's check: what is fascism? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism far-right: kind of checks authoritarian: oh yes and then some ultranationalist: check Putin's speech at the annexation ceremony dictatorial leader: check centralized autocracy: check militarism: check forcible suppression of opposition: check belief in natural social hierarchy: check subordination of individual interests for the nation and race: check regimentation of society and economy: check apparently, I also "declare something a war crime when something may not be a crime" ... this requires examples, please. the list of conflicts I presented contained no non-existing items. some were repeated because there were several armed conflicts, sometimes because Russia lost the first time but came back for more. all armed conflicts (including "special military operations" !) within or outside of Russia's alleged borders I listed are real and involved Russian troops. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Russia again, about war crimes, find posts where I said something was a war crime when it wasn't. and about negotiations: asking for negotiations now is a pro-Russian propaganda ploy because negotiations would reward Russia's aggression, putting it into the situation of offering things it does not own as "goodwill". The precondition for any negotiation is Russia offering to evacuate from all Ukrainian territories it illegally occupies.
