Patron, an expert bomb finder and perhaps Ukraine's smallest fighter, has been honored by the country's president.

It's crazy how much money can be allocated by governments if they really want to. Without a problem.
Didn't the UN mention to Elon that 6 Billion $$ could fix world hunger? I doubt it but if true then $6B is nothing compared how much is flowing into Ukraine.
- leaky bucketsinteliboy
- Thanks, Elon!palimpsest
- Wait til you hear you about “inflation”nb
- LOL 6 billion maybe for a year, NOT forever
That's why Elon declined to help :))grafician - problem is, if you give everyone one a share of $6b over in Russia they'd just drink it away...shapesalad
- @graf, it's taken out of context. The director of the UN's World Food Program said billionaires should be giving donations to help with world hunger..garbage
- ..not end it. Musk said "give me a plan". They gave him a detailed plan with a 6bn budget, saying this is how you can save approximately..garbage
- https://fortune.com/…palimpsest
- ..40-50 million people who are on the brink of starvation right now. He did nothing, because he's Elon Musk.garbage
- Elon Musk need not do shit. It's not about trickle down economics. The individual is not responsible for the collective.palimpsest
- If governments want to do shit, they can do shit. It's up to the individuals as a collective to ask their governments to do shit.palimpsest
- Elon Musk is not our god.palimpsest
- Let's face it, it's more fun blowing shit up. joking.. wonder why humans are like we are, enjoying war etc? We can throw. Chimps/apes can't.shapesalad
- Being able to throw a stone, to kill, to hunt, makes humans lethal. And removes the danger of direct fist to hoof combat.shapesalad
- Modern war is just a technological advance on throwing stones. Now we have 'precise laser guided big stones that explode' that we can throw at each other.shapesalad
- It's in our evolution. Due to standing on two feet to walk - we can pivot and rotate our arms better = throw better = kill better.shapesalad
- This is what we are on this earth.shapesalad
- So to stop war = we need to evolve out the ability to throw.shapesalad
- and rewind the clock.shapesalad
- @shapesalad: NO
I think to review the concept of evolution.palimpsest - *I think you need to review the concept of evoution.palimpsest
- well it was something I heard in regards to the 1% difference between humans and Chimps. That because we walk on two's, we have the ability to throw.shapesalad
- and from this, you can expand out to modern war...shapesalad
- That's sounds like some Joe Rogan shit.
Carry on.palimpsest - Monkey’s can throw their poop at people. Evolution, ftwGnash
- In the 2008 crisis we were told public services had to be cut back to pay for shit but now the magic money try has arrived for Ukraine and Covid shitChimp
- The point was buried in here somewhere https://www.youtube.…shapesalad
- Jordan Peterson, even better!palimpsest
- Chimps can't throw therefore chimps can't engage in war.

#peakevolutionpalimpsest - its not magic money.. generations to come will have to pay much more...neverscared
- @pamp I don't really get your argument about trickle down economics, because if anything Elon is proof that it isn't real.garbage
- If anything, he's the bastard paragon statue of inequality. He's the one who said "give me a plan". He was given a plan by the UN. He then backed out.garbage
- It's very clear he's not our god, so maybe he should stop making phony gestures that he is.garbage
- My argument is that is not up to the (rich) individual to solve the problems of the people. Meaning I am against trickle down economics.palimpsest
- I don't care what Elon could do with his money. He doesn't have to do shit. It's not up to him.palimpsest
- Asking for the rich to solve our problems is asking for trickle down economics.palimpsest
- Can we at least all agree that monkeys can, actually, throw stuff?Gnash
- Only if we agree that humans didn't evolve from apes.palimpsest

TIL that aid packages, and all those fancy words they use to label money and goods sent to other nations is actually a loan. The names make it sound like it's charity, when it's debt. Debt that most struggling nations, including Ukraine, will never recover from. So the west gets a proxy war while also collecting interest payments on the money they keep sending for a very long time.
- We need debt, to feed the cycle, as all fiat is based on as spiralling system of debt, that eventually implodes.shapesalad
- Britain only finished paying back the States for WWI in 2015 or so, and WW2 a few years prior. it's either debt or death. Which would you choose?Nairn
- There’s no profit in peace.PhanLo
- So we should just give money? They shouldn’t pay it back when they can?
Access to liquidity is itself a favor.cannonball1978 - Of course there's profit in peace. It's just that also, man likes to kill man, so there's a shitload of profit in weapons too.Nairn
- I suspect Ukr is getting very favourable rates on some of the newer, unpracticed weapons, in return for valuable feedback.Nairn
- I'm not commenting on whether it should be free or not. Just the reality of it and the way they present it, many people think it's gifted.ETM

A speech by China's former ambassador to Ukraine..
"The Russian-Ukrainian War was the most important international event after the Cold War. It ended the post-Cold War period and opened a new international order.
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia has always been in a historical process of continuous decline. This decline is first and foremost a continuation of the decline of the Soviet Union before the disintegration, and is also related to the mistakes of the Russian ruling clique in domestic and foreign policies. Western sanctions have intensified this process.
The so-called revival or revitalization of Russia under the leadership of Putin is a false proposition that does not exist at all. The decline of Russia is manifested in its economy, military, science and technology, politics, society and other fields, and has also had a serious negative impact on the Russian military and its combat power.
The core and primary direction of the Putin regime's foreign policy is to regard the former Soviet Union as its exclusive sphere of influence, and to restore the empire relying on the integration mechanism in various fields dominated by Russia.
For this reason, Russia is duplicitous and reneges on its promises. It has never truly recognized the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of other former Soviet countries, and frequently violates their territories and sovereignty. This is the greatest threat to peace, security and stability in the Eurasian region.
In order to gain the international status and influence of the Russian Empire or the former Soviet Union, break the existing international order, and change the geopolitical map of Eurasia and the world, Russia has a persistent pursuit of reuniting the former Soviet states and restoring alliances or empires.
This has created a fundamental confrontation and conflict with the American West. This is the main contradiction and crux of Russia's relations with the US and the West."
- Very different take on what caused the war than some of these Western intellectuals like John Mearsheimer. I have to say his explanation is a lot more simple.yuekit
- And of course this article was almost immediately taken down...yuekit
- Give up the empire, like all European empires did -- the only way to save the country.drgs
- Wow. That's .. perfect.Nairn
- What's even more amazing is how good Google Translate has gotten, this is machine translation from Chinese.yuekit

"Ukrainian politics apart, an American proxy war for Ukraine may force Russia into a close relationship of dependence on Beijing, securing China a captive Eurasian ally and giving it assured access to Russian resources, at bargain prices as the West would no longer compete for them. Russia, in turn, could benefit from Chinese technology, to the extent that it would be made available. At first glance, an alliance like this might appear to be contrary to the geostrategic interests of the United States. It would, however, come with an equally close, and equally asymmetrical, American-dominated alliance between the United States and Western Europe, one that would keep Germany under control and suppress French aspirations for ‘European sovereignty’. Very likely, what Europe can deliver to the United States would exceed what Russia can deliver to China, so that a loss of Russia to China would be more than compensated by the gains from a tightening of American hegemony over Western Europe. A proxy war in Ukraine could thus be attractive to a United States seeking to build a global alliance for its imminent battle with China over the next New World Order, monopolar or bipolar in old or new ways, to be fought out in coming years, after the end of the end of history."

Clownsgrafician - And what exactly was stopping Russia + China from doing business together or creating an alliance before Putin's invasion?yuekit
- Nothing I can think of, in fact they announced the "no no limits partnership" earlier, now they seem to be backing away from it slightly.yuekit
- Lenovo, Xiaomi, DJI and possibly Huawei all left Russia
https://www.wsj.com/…yuekit - DJI also left Ukraine. The reason is mainly to avoid US sanctions.

Turkey offered to take Ukrainian soldiers in Azovstal out of Mariupol with a ship that can carry 2,000 people, promising that they will be kept in Turkey until the end of the war. Russia refused, according to Ukrainian negotiator Mustafa Dzhemilev
https://twitter.com/ragipsoylu/s…
Kalin said Ukraine would release 1,000 Russian prisoners of war in return of the evacuation. But Shoigu still said no.
As told by Mustafa Dzhemilev today at a briefing, transmitted by Ukrinform
- "Shoigu said he can guarantee the Ukrainian soldiers life but no evacuation"
from same twitter feed.uan - just do it anyway, under cover...shapesalad
