    Russia-Ukraine War Politics Thread Mk. 2

    China has its problem with replicating very quality sensitive tech. If they are that fast in dealing with such problems, why are they barely starting to end their reliance on Russian fighter engines which in turn are merely late Cold War tech? Catching up to the absolutely best stuff in many...

    The difference is that the "low" part of the mix is usually older, cheaper, and often already existing and well tested technology. This "alternative" is new and not cheap, with its own supply chain that also doesn't exist yet and may have challenges we don't even hear about. Who the fuck is...

    The problem is t hat this stop gap is more like a dozen step backwards and not even necessarily cheaper while at it.

    Say bye bye to hyper efficient green mandate compliant consumer and industrial equipment, say hi to higher CO2 emissions. Also where did you get the idea that vacuum tube based computers, nevermind fancy miniaturized ones, were easy to maintain? Your PC is an example of easy to maintain, this...

    If you think it is that simple, why does China have a notable problem with this stuff? China which is willing to throw bigger money at what it considers strategic interests (the military utility of that stuff is hard to overstate and they do get sanctioned on electronics imports) and are famous...

    In normal countries taxes are *the* way government takes money and has to at least pretend to be spending them in a fair and transparent way. In countries like Russia and China, things work differently. Taxes are for show and pretending it's a normal country with great leaders beloved by the...

    In those places the government has nothing to "steal" that they could not take openly. Let's get things straight, it may look stupid, but it works somewhat, so it's not so stupid.

    Yeah, if Romania would want to invade Moldova in the future, it can veto Moldova from joining NATO. It's one thing to want it, it's another if they want to have the economic and political problems that come with it, and yet another if they are willing to fight about it. As i said, if they do...

    I don't care about the "some", what about majorities, governments, people in power. Again, this is irrelevant, Romanian government does not officially claim Moldova, no one cares if you or your "some" think they should, as things stand they don't. If Romania and Moldova want to unite...

    Yes it does you just know nothing about it, much like you know nothing about many other things yet think that you do. https://origins.osu.edu/read/moldova-and-romania-long-and-complicated-relationship?language_content_entity=en A map will also tell you that there is an independent country by...

    So does Moldova. So what? Greece and Macedonia were in the news for having that debate. If you ever looked at a map of the region you would know, and if you don't even look at the map of the region, how are you supposed to know what you are talking about. You think that country has no...

    Again you demonstrate you can only mold surface level facts of very complex subjects and forcefully shape it into mostly senseless combinations clearly designed to support your pre-existing and generally silly ideas on how geopolitics work. First off, you are wrong already because China exists...

    Dude... I should reply with that every time you say yet another stupid thing about politics. As i said, you have no idea about these things and it shows, not even the basic information. It's like asking if Austria is part of Germany. It's a fucking separate country...

    Moldova obviously cannot give Russia nearly as much "bloody nose" as Ukraine on account of how much smaller it is than Ukraine. There are no non-NATO countries in Russian ambitions that are even nearly as well suited to be Western proxy against Russia as Ukraine in terms of politics, scale and...

    Chad yes. Ah, so imperial reconstruction politics is just a matter of sufficient power and convenient excuse. Got it. Also Scythian, also it was even a Roman client state for longer than it belonged to Russia. Yeah, sure, whatever Muscovite apologist. Except when it wasn't. So will be...
