Oh Vlad, flail some more. Your psychology is so twisted you think an unjust invasion of a sovereign state is something the west forced you to do… or wait I mean, because it was full of nazis and out of the goodness of your heart you had to make it right… or um… pass the vodka.

Wow directly intervening in a foreign war. He’s insane.

Um, sure Vlad, that makes sense.

Safer than negotiating a ceasefire as a theory, maybe. Safer than negotiating a ceasefire with the RF? No.

Wait what, a tank in a warzone got blown up? Who could have predicted something like this could have happened? Totally unexpected and I am sure no one thought this was possible before sending it in. It’s almost like there is a cost to war.

Or sticks depending on how it goes.

I don’t think anyone considers them not to be incredibly dangerous. But in terms of logistics, organization, strategy, and leadership they have proven to be nothing like they were imagined.

I am no expert but my understanding is that plain old artillery is the main tool being used in this conflict, and that’s like how long have people been shooting cannons at one another? If you have 20x as much artillery as your more competent opponent you’re still very dangerous.

I wish Ukraine the best vs the invaders and I think they will prevail, but there is no doubt the cost will be high.

K2 is an incredibly dangerous mountain. The possibility of a rescue attempt would depend on many factors that we have no way to know. In these sorts of situations even other climbers nearby might have a complete different opinion. In many cases like this people are often not thinking correctly believing they saw something that wasn’t even there or just completely misperceived due to attitude or exhaustion or illness.

Similar to their strategy of repelling drone attacks with their buildings.

I don’t know but I will go with this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tP8VPkWXOfU (Wagner’s Mutiny - what it means for Putin’s Russia (and Coups 101) Perun)

I am not sure coup is the right word either because it didn’t seem to me they had a plan on overthrowing Putin. While RF may have had trouble stopping Wagner’s advance, what could Wagner actually do if they made it to Moscow?

While they may be mercenaries they are paid and directed by RF, so I think mutiny is probably more accurate even if not technically correct.

Maybe in some cases for some things but overall I would say no In my experience. I’ve been to India 5+ times and spent a lot of time with locals. The healthcare situation for many in general is really bad. As my friend said to me, “If we get something serious there is no hospital for us, it’s direct to graveyard.” They get sick, they suffer, they are not superhuman immune-wise at all. The better I got to know one particular group the more I discovered that most if not all of them had an untreated medical situation that they just lived with “I have some problems in my body.” This was 10 and longer years ago so perhaps things are a bit better for some in some areas now.
