Yes, people tend to think in black and white, going from one extreme to the other. But reality is much more nuanced.

It’s important that democracies learn from crises. Even the current crisis in the US is leading to an important public discussion between the parties, which will lead to better mutual understanding.

At the same time, dictatorial regimes tend to exacerbate crises by creating another one to cover up the causes of the previous one.

The problem the Ruscists have with tank drivers is that they vanish without a trace with every turret toss of their Soviet-type tank. And they have taken down most of the Soviet training facilities and capabilities. That’s why Ruscist tank drivers often lack proper training.

Thank you for your kindness, Valmond 🙏

The corrugated paper is cheap, has vertical channels on the inside, and its quantity creates a large area flame. Standard wicks would only produce a small flame with little heat.

As for the Azov battalion - Ruscist propaganda actively exploits racist statements made by Andriy Biletsky in 2006-2010, several years before he founded this battalion. He changed his views and hasn’t made a single racist statement since 2014. The Azov battalion included several Jews from the very beginning, so Biletsky isn’t an anti-Semite now. And since November 2014, the Azov battalion has a different commander.

So for the Azov battalion, any Nazi leanings are a thing of the distant past: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/04/06/ukraine-military-right-wing-militias/ It’s rather Ruscists who tend to project onto others what they hide from themselves.

IMHO, Russians are a mixed bag - both untrained slave mobiks on the frontlines and some shrewd elite specialists behind. A hundred years ago the Russian Empire also fought in such a way.

Their archaic way of fighting is anyway grotesque nowadays, to say the least. They continue to finance the war by selling oil and gas extracted in their Siberian colonies - but their capabilities are noticeably eroding.

Thank you for letting me know about nERA. Hopefully we’ll get to know what this stuff really is.
