  • but the reality is that the country is massive and you need an incredible organizing effort to offer any real, organized resistance.

    That’s no problem.
    The protests that brought down East Germany weren’t that much organized at first. People went to the street every monday and that was it. Internet and instant messenger didn’t exist back then. Most didn’t even had a telephone at home and TV was censored by the state.
    Children were pretty successful too. The whole worldwide protest grew from a single child.

    The USA is big, yes, but the population live in the cities not in between them.

    Now you know what to do:
    Pick a day and go protest every week on that day in your city. Politics eventually will feel the pressure.







  • It seems a move that’s not only intended to help Ukraine repel Russia, but end defense dependence on the US, on the premise that the partner no longer is reliable.

    Which is a good thing IMO. From this side of the large pond the USA looks more and more like a bully on par with Russia and China.

    East of UA is fucked for decades but Russia is fucked too. Both countries burnt through quite a lot of their arsenal from Soviet times and struggle to keep their troops supplied. UA has it easier because the European countries help with weapons, munitions and other equipment.

    Unfortunately Russia can sustain the current attrition rate by another 5-10 years before the situation becomes truly unbearable for them. My fear is that by then the UA might have collapsed.

    The best case scenario is that Putin dies shortly and his successor ends this stupid war.
