    I'm not surprised by those countries abstaining, but I am surprised that the CSTO countries (Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan) abstained instead of voting against and that Serbia and India voted in favor instead of abstaining. Not sure how much this resolution changes anything...

    You are assuming Russia would end us with a less dictatorial leader. That isn't always the case. Germany had a dictatorial leader (Kaiser Wilhelm) who fell, replaced by a weak "modern" government that eventually got subsumed by Hitler. Russia had Yeltsin's weak "modern" government that got...

    Even if Russia somehow collapsed, occupying it or even "taming" a population as nationalistic as Russians seems pretty impossible. We make a lot of comments about Russia's shrinking population but it is still the largest population in Europe with a large diaspora spread over a vast area. The...

    How dare you insult this great man. In Russia, you aren't even allowed to drink your own piss, so we should be applauding him for his bravery and his freedom :beer:

    I've always found this video to be very interesting, both in the acceleration of the tests in the 1950s and 1960s and the rapid escalation of size. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTTTCM02mY4 Also, interesting to note that the first US test was 18.6KT and the first North Korean test...

    What kind of mattress do you own?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    If the frames come with a mattress and you already know that you definitely need a taller frame, then I would just buy a new frame and see how it goes with the mattress that it comes with. If you don't like the mattress that comes with the new frame, see if you can donate it or sell it and...

    "Maximum Pain" theory in the stock market- how to predict stock price movement

    INVESTING 
    When I first discovered WSB in 2019, I started reading about options trading and came across maximum-pain theory on day two and decided options weren't for me. I just visualize a roulette wheel spinning and the casino moving the green 0 and 00 slots around while the players bet on red or black.

    What kind of mattress do you own?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Honestly, I think everyone is so different that for some, a £110 pillow would be amazing, while for me, my favorite pillow is so sad looking that even someone sleeping outside on concrete would probably look at my pillow and say "Nah, I'm good." How old is your mattress? £1500 is a lot to...

    What kind of mattress do you own?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    The height/getting up in the morning would probably always remain an issue unless you get a significantly taller mattress (could cause other issues) or a different frame. Assuming you liked the mattress when you first got it, is the mattress flippable (the same on both sides)? If so, when was...

    I was aware of the Crimean offshore sites, but not aware of the Crimean water supply factor; that does make a lot of sense that it would be an issue with no Dnieper canal access. I expect to see at least two wars (in Ethiopia and Turkey) within my lifetime due primarily to water supply issues...

    I know you are being sarcastic, but women do make up 15% of Ukraine's armed forces and the deadliest female sniper in history was Ukrainian (309 confirmed kills). Conscription of Ukrainian women has happened before, hopefully it won't happen here.

    Indeed. Russia can't afford to lose T90s to javelins. Russian Ground Force's strategy seems to be to use up old equipment that won't be usable in 10-20 years anyway and, with the Chechen forces coming in, using non-ethnic Russian subjects to do the fighting (and therefore, much of the dying)...

    An 89 year old dies of supposed natural causes and you think he "got got"? How much longer do you expect the average 89 year to live regardless of their views or beliefs?

    Between your posts yesterday about bombing Moscow and wiping out 200M Russians/Chinese and your posts from today, I keep double checking the author name because it feels like I am reading the writings of two completely different writers. Regardless, glad to hear your opinions today.

    Ah, brilliant strategy. I'm sure there would be no major consequences to striking targets in the capital city of a country with 6200 land-based warheads, nuclear subs in the ocean, and smallpox in its freezers.
