Or maybe prosecute these fucks? It’s corrupt all the way down.

Hey not sure what happened, here’s a reup of the vid: https://files.catbox.moe/kg40tc.mp4

I haven’t seen it on Lemmy so I posted it to this sub just now. Might be easiest to find through my profile.

There is also analysis that clearly shows that the man who disarmed him accidentally fired the gun setting off the shooting spree.

Not really sure. Not an expert but it seems like Russia already trashed them.

I mean at this point I’m all in on Ukraine and I’m sorry to see my comment interpreted as anything but the hope that Ukraine could get the support they are asking for.

I know peace deals are precarious and complicated, but I dream of nothing less than pre 2014 borders, the end of all Russian hostilities, and a defense pact, if not full inclusion, between Ukraine and the EU.

Ah - respect, cheers friend.

I wasn’t refusing to correct the mistake, thanks. I just hadn’t checked my replies until now. I have made the edits now to clarify.

It was in today’s dollars. See my edit. And I don’t think it is suspect to ask Ukraine’s allies to do more to help them actually win when Zelensky is saying it himself ad nauseam.

Though your snippy reply maybe doesn’t deserve it, respectfully- the figures I quoted were in today’s dollars. I guess I shouldn’t have assumed people would know that though.

They aren’t wrong though - the USSR got somewhere around $100-150B from Lend Lease. Ukraine has gotten something like $300B already.

But it’s certainly not money laundering. Wars cost a lot in the modern age. The real question is why are countries giving so much but only to keep Ukraine from losing.

It’s embarrassing for Russia that this war is now longer than their war against Germany in WWII but it’s also sort of embarrassing for Ukraine’s allies.

EDIT: I was estimating in today’s dollars, from Wikipedia - A total of $50.1 billion (equivalent to $690 billion in 2024 when accounting for inflation) worth of supplies was shipped, or 17% of the total war expenditures of the U.S.[3] In all, $31.4 billion went to the United Kingdom, $11.3 billion to the Soviet Union, $3.2 billion to France, $1.6 billion to China, and the remaining $2.6 billion to other Allies.

Bonds are US debt, debt that the US uses to pay for stuff like military equipment.

Is that true? I haven’t heard MS say anything about enabling local LLMs. Genuinely curious and would like to know more.
