Russia has planted suspected explosives on Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant roofs, says Zelenskiy (cross post)
  • The Baltics joined NATO in 2004, Russia did nothing despite long control over the region and a large Russian minority. Had Ukraine been in this position the whole war could have been avoided, since Russia would not invade a NATO country

  • Mearsheimer is not a military expert, so he has no idea how the war will turn out. Even if we accept he's an expert on politics, the actual situation on the ground will affect the future more. I'd rather listen to what generals say

  • I'm questioning his expertise. Every time he says "Russia wouldn't do that" Russia does it. And he is still considered an expert despite several claims of how Russia:

    1. Wouldn't try to annex more of Ukraine after Crimea (did it)
    2. Could only have limited military aims in Ukraine (went straight for the capital)
    3. The rest of the former Soviet republics would support Russia (big oof, everyone but Belarus refused to support Russia)

    At this point, you just have to say he's gotten everything wrong, but continues to double down

  • No, even if you study all your life, it won't let you predict the future. People study stocks all their lives and they still can't beat a simple stock index in the long term. So stop listening to articles that make wrong predictions.

    Like Mearshimer who in 2014 predicted Putin had no further territorial ambitions in Ukraine. Yet Putin annexed further regions in Ukraine, despite this "expert" studying stuff.

  • Why should I believe those people? Who made them experts?

    Watch the actual developments on the ground, don't listen to propaganda. Russian telegram channels tell you how the war is going, don't need a guy to pretend to know the future

  • They have mobilized 300,000 troops last year. It's news to Russia that they didn't contest it, since they fought for and lost Pyatyhatky, just now fighting for and losing Zherebyanky.

    There are intense battles in Orikhiv area, but that could go either way. If Russia loses anything "they are not even trying"?

  • Ask a Pirate: What p2p networks do you use in 2023?

    I do use BitTorrent, but it's never going to beat the convenience of just searching for a file and getting it when p2p networks first came out.

    For niche stuff like 1930s movies sometimes I need to start a few torrents to make sure at least one of them has seeds.

    I have had success with soulseek for music, but what do you guys use for other types of files?
