Crimea is essential to securing Russias largest European port. Look at your own map. Boats enter through the Dardanelles and would be in striking distance of the caucus coastline and Sea of Azov. With the Sea of Azov and Crimea secure Russia adds 3+ deep water ports and a huge layer of security that prevents NATO from shutting down Russias water based trade with Asia.
Why would Russia deem Crimea essential if not for Black Sea trade? It’s integration is an aim of the conflict
So boats are a thing that take up room, sometimes these boats dock at a port. Ports are also a thing that only have so much room for boats to dock. Sometimes too many boats in one port means they can’t unload goods (also a thing) before they are expired. It ends up costing money (another thing), that could then over time incur a nation major losses. If you have more than one port, it becomes easier to get all the goods you need in a certain amount of time. sort of like why Philadelphia and Baltimore both have deep water ports, even though they are close together.
Does that make sense to you?
I mean sure, but shipping things from South East Asia to Russia is easiest through the Black Sea route.
I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt for thinking of a plan to have a successful revolution in America, but winning over the teamsters to help form a vanguard party (especially on the ideas of internationalism) to me feels as fantastical as a communist winning the presidency and dismantling the empire from the inside.
A slight majority of rank and file drivers in my local have attempted to vote for a local president that would liquidate non drivers as members, because the drivers think unskilled labor deserves to be min wage and unprotected, and they feel embarrassed to share a room with us at meetings.
The Maoist Communist Union is like “if we just organize the teamsters” and as a member I’m just shaking my head.
These drivers are gonna make up the brown shirts.
I’m a teamster (non driver) and I don’t participate at all because it’s literally the worst people among us. They would probably kill a stranger for an extra 5k when they already make 150,000k plus. Life is a hustle in their eyes and if you aren’t, you deserve death. I’m not joking
I am a casual gamer and have this on Steam. Should I attempt it or is it overwhelming. I needed strategy guides to beat both KOTORs and Dragon Age.
No it’s really really bad it’s only included in the ICC climate report as a solution so fossil fuel companies can still own the infrastructure of energy.
Even if the science gets expedentially better it is nothing compared to degrowth, agricultural changes, or nuclear fusion.
It’s an abomination and doesn’t need to be given a “well maybe” at all.
I personally think their demographics and population of 1.5 billion + makes it understandable. I don’t live there though so I don’t want to speak for the people
Taibbi was told off by progressives about 2020 protests and his reaction to just being told off was “I’m canceled by the woke mob”
Mao defeating khrushchev from the grave
I bet the two officials were King Fahd and Crown Prince Abdullah
Objectively, Kamala did do great for American politics and is hot for a politician.
This debate wasn’t for us
Vietnam pullout was just as bad. The only difference is jungles and monsoons prevented a large offensive from happening.
Soviet pullout of Afghanistan was just as bad, there was just more faction infighting amongst the Afghans.
You don’t get to retreat in order from a decades long conflict
Spending 10 minutes looking for “sweet potato” in the alphabetical selection screen, only to not do it fast enough and get yelled at by a robot while the store has 10 closed registers and everyone on line is giving me dirty looks.
No discount
I really don’t know what would happen to my brain if this happened in my children’s school. I’d probably play a lot of Minecraft in the DC metro area.
I don’t get how you could equate Lenin, who basically became incapacitated in 1922, to the worst excesses of the Soviet regime in the 30s. But I guess anarchists like not reading history.
Not even systemic failures. Any complaint a chud has is because communism. Literally like doing dishes instead of their wife doing it is a communist plot
