I’ll be impressed when his car hasn’t caught fire after a month.

Some probably know but are afraid to say it

I’m no expert, but my gut tells me this might not help the fuel crisis in Crimea.

Because that requires acknowledging the value and struggles of people outside yourself

That’s just an explanation of what empathy is, not an explanation as to why empathy should have no limits.

Nope. Read Geneva convention once again

“The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.”

Only thing I could find that’s relevant, but doesn’t apply since she moved there on her own accord. Mind helping me find the section you are thinking of?

Empathy is never earned

Why not?

she moved to occupied land during an active war becoming a participant in the occupation. She does not show any empathy towards the people whose land she is occupying, yet you’re asking us to have empathy for her because her occupation is not going as planned?

It’s such an amazing idea.

Ukraine didn’t roll this out all at once on a whim.

They tested it on small sections of the front, saw that it was effective and rolled it out to more sections. This has been slowly in the making for years.

They also don’t do their entire logistics on this point based system, it’s a supplimentary mechanism.

You’re way too focused on ivory tower philosophizing.

war is icky by its very nature. It promotes weapons and tactics that make killing more efficient, because that helps you win.

If a points based logistics system makes killing more efficient it will become more widespread, simple as that.

you would have signed if you had a community mail box just the same.

maybe inform yourself before arguing a point you don’t understand

Also I addressed that very point in my previous comment, which you promptly proceeded to ignore

And when it is necessary it’s still available.

Is it? Does reliable, secure ID delivery really have “little extra value”?

Home mail delivery isn’t secure ID though, and most mail doesn’t require that in the first place. And when it is necessary it’s still available.

cost is a perfectly valid reason.

yes, public services don’t need to generate profits, but that doesn’t mean it’s reasonable for public services to squander public finances.

home mail delivery for everyone adds very little extra value for a lot of extra cost.

If something stands above capitalism and controls it, then that is the governing philosophy and deserves the -ism, not capital.

capitalism isn’t a form of governance it’s an economic system.

Democracy is a form of governance, so is plutocracy, or monarchy, or aristocracy.

Many different forms of governance can structure their economy using capitalism.

But a capitalist economy will always push the current form government towards plutocracy

you’re conflating capitalism with plutocracy.

And yeah, capitalism will lead to plutocracy if left unchecked, but they’re not the same thing.

Calling an imperialist empire anti-imperialist

peak tankie brainrot

I guess it’s all a question of how thoroughly Ukraine can cut off supplies to eastern Kherson and if they’re able to cross the river (or push south in Zaporizhzhia, but that seems less likely given the fortifications)

If they can manage that and cut off the land bridge then Crimea is probably a foregone conclusion, similar to western Kherson years ago.

But cutting off the land bridge seems like a big IF.

that’s not how you solve the fuel crisis, silly Russians.

what is there of strategic importance in Sochi?

I kinda don’t think he knew that early. The end of the siege of Mariupol would have been a perfect off-ramp. “We destroyed the Azov Nazis at Azovstal, the denazification of Donbas has been a success, the SMO has reached its goals and will be ended” or some such bullshit.

I would assume he was convinced of eventual victory until at least the liberation of Kherson. And by then it was way too late to get out of it without admitting defeat.

would be a shame if some drone debris fell down there.
